PLAY BOX

FEBRUARY 2018

February’s play box has a fun info sheet where there are different notes and messages in each boxes and you can cut them up to spread the good vibes. The typography of each box is super cute too! Plus dont forget the 6 products in the box too.

1. Farmacy Green clean makeup meltaway cleansing balm.

So you can start your face dry with this cleansing balm, scoop some and massage into the part of the face with makeup to remove and then wash off with water. It also works on eye makeup but you have to be abit more precise using fingertips to remove the eye makeup. Basically it works like a makeup remover in a balm version, altho for me i would still use a cleanser after water for double the cleanliness.

2. Belif Moisturizing eye bomb.

I believe that Belif has far too much samples for this particular product and I’ve received plenty for the true aqua bomb and moisturising bomb etc. However j find that they are all pretty alike and hard to distinguish, they have the same texture and scent, maybe just the slight different colour to tell them apart. Otherwise, they work like the same moisturiser except that this one is meant for the surrounding eye area. 

3. Laura Mercier Caviar stick eye colour in Rosegold.

Swatch pic is from temptalia.com. I like Laura Mercier but they are much more known for the loose powder or their foundation primer which is the HG for all. Mostly. I’ve never heard of this product before but I believe there are quite a few similar products in the market as this. Basically its an eyeshadow stick, if you’re going for a one or two tone shadow look. I personally do not like this type of shadow sticks as i find that they dont blend as easily with the powders that i usually layer with.

4. NARS Velvet matte lip pencil in 5855 ‘Lets go crazy’.

A hot fuschia pink that I’ve seen lots of soccer mumsies and young grannies wearing. God i hate this shade!! Why give a shade that most women won’t reach out for, because the shade is too bright for me i probably won’t be trying this on at all and will never know how the consistency is like throughout the day to even purchase a nicer shade in the full size. Bummer. 

5. Sephora Rouge matte lipstick in M11 Rebel chic.

This lipstick. This lipstick came squashed to the cap, because the bottom broke off the tube itself. -_- But I’m not mad at it because its easy to push back inside the tube plus the shade is actully quite nice, a dark  berry red (unlike the nars lipstick) and its also matte. Also, if you notice, most Sephora rouge lipstick smells like berries. 

6. Chloé eau de parfum Sublime Rose.

This has such a soft feminine scent just as described, the rose is not overwhelming like the smell of a great old aunt, it has a baby rose scent which is softer and not overpowering to the nose (and mind) I will definitely be using this once my Burberry sample is done. 

I was excited for this box as there was 2 lip products that came together, but then i hated one shade and they weren’t products that can be used in conjunction together. I like the Sephora rouge, Farmacy cleansing balm & Chloé parfum. While the other half, i hate the NARS colour, im sick of getting Belif products. The laura mercier caviar stick, could be nice product, but i wont use it. So thats it for February. 💓
