This is a very lovely quite large 3D pop up Xmas card. It's printed on good quality card stock and it has good printing quality. The blue envelope is luxurious and elegant. The separate beige-grey note card is equally elegant and allows me to write a separate note without having to ruin the Xmas card per se. The Xmas card colors are vibrant and fun. Most pleased with the product. I'll buy it again.
I have been using this inexpensive concealer for over a year now and it has become my fav on-the-go concealer as well as my preferred eye primer.
I use this to neutralize and cover reddish spots on my face (pimple-ish or hair plucking red spots for example) , as an under-eye foundation to cover signs of tiredness and irritation, and as an eyelid primer. Although not an eye primer per se, I use it as such. The results are fabulous as it doesn't irritate my eyelids, it settles/dries quickly, covers the area perfectly and my eye-shadow colorful palette colors are noticeably enhanced.
The product spreads easily and evenly and perfectly matches my skin tone. It's thick enough to cover any area perfectly but without being greasy or too thick. I have sensitive skin and I haven't had any problem with it so far.
Despite the item being quite small, the quantity of product is considerable for me to use it, on a daily basis, for months.
GOOD POINTS
> Elegant and good looking case so it doesn't clash with my bathroom decor.
> Compact.
> The double decking allows me to put plenty of stuff inside.
> Easy and safe to carry.
> Sturdy material.
> The polish bottles are safely stored within the foam inner structure.
BAD POINTS
> Bad quality stitching. Some threads were already out upon opening the parcel. See photo.
>
The inner foam last row is stitched too tightly so it cannot be opened
and I cannot put any polish bottle inside, which defeats the purpose.
>
The number of nail polish bottles I can comfortably put in is NOT 30
unless you use polishes from a brand with tiny bottles. I use different
brands of nail polish and you can see in my photos that the bigger
bottles, which are standard size by the way, somewhat protrude out.
> Smaller than expected. See photo beside a small packet of tissues.
I
have been using the argan oil vial for several months, applied to my
long colored dry hair after shampooing and conditioning and the results
are great.
Despite being an oil, it is not greasy and it spreads
easily. A tiny amount of product is enough to make my hair shine and
look super healthy. The vial looks small (see my photo beside one of my
mascaras), but it actually lasts me for 5+ uses, more or less depending
on whether I use it just on the upper layers of my hair to add shine and
smooth out or all through all the hair.
It smells wonderful, like a sweet orange sort of scent.
The
vial cap is really tight, so you can safely put the vial horizontal and
the oil won't spill out. Great size for traveling, too.
I am a devotee of this product because it makes wonders for my hair.
MONOI COCONUT VIAL
The
Monoi coconut oil vial, which I also use, is equally good and long
lasting. It smells beautifully but not as nice as the argan vial. I
apply this after shampoo + conditioner, while my hair is still wet but I
have removed excess water with a towel.
I have mixed feelings about this product. I love that is an Australian brand, the minimalist elegant packaging, the lightness of the product, how fast it absorbs, and the true herbal smell. However, despite this cream being lovely, it is more a milk than a cream, quite liquid-ish, the scent is pervasive so it can clash with my perfume, and it it is OK n my dry hands. The bottle runs out of product quite quickly due to the fact that I need to use more quantity of this product than with other hand creams.
Good quality old-style hair clips, perfect for DIY hair coloring, styling or just to hold on dangling bits of hair when applying make-up.
These clips have a nice length, so they can hold a bit amount of hair. Although they can snag hair they do so lightly and I cannot complain on that regard.
The amount of clips is generous and, even if you have thick hair, you'll have more than enough with half the quantity.
They are flexible, which is good, but they can also deform easily.
This is a great DIY tinting brush. It is on the long/large side (see my photo of the brush on a A4 sheet). Truth be told, it looks like a cheapie and it's not fancy by any means. However, this is a good brush overall. The length and pointy shape of the handle are great to separate strains of hair without difficulty, while the brush width and the flexible bristles are good enough to spread the tint easily covering a considerable amount of hair. Overall, a good product for the price. I wish the bristles were more flexible, though. This is not fancy , but it gets the job done and costs little.
