These were the products I played around with from the 3rd edition:
Banila Co. it Radiant CC Cream and Melting Pact - So I have never used a CC cream before and wasn't sure what to expect. Apparently the CC creams are supposed to "Color Correct", and I was surprised at how well it worked. I have several red areas on my face, and after applying and waiting a few minutes for it to set it, I looked back at the mirror to check it out... And my mouth literally fell open. All of the red was gone, but not like it was covered up with foundation. It was just smoothed away. This cream is meant to be a base (re: primer), and I just went ahead and used the Melting Pact it came with. I quite liked it once it had settled into my skin as well. There is one spot of red that I didn't get enough coverage on (a stubborn birthmark in the middle of my forehead, sigh), but overall I was very happy with these products! I wonder if using the Brightening Cream next time will help lessen the red. Will have to try that next! I am planning on test running this tomorrow so I will report back with results!
Tonymoly Lip Tint - Let me just get this out of the way and say that I hate this packaging since it doesn't show the brand/item name. But I adore lip stains, and this was a lovely shade for me. I was cautious and used a lip brush instead of the applicator so I didn't overload my lips. The smell is fruity, but not overwhelmingly so, and dissipates once you wear it a few minutes. It has some pretty awesome staying power too!
Secret Kiss Gel Pencil Liner - This is your basic gel liner, in black with sparkles. Doesn't smudge very well, but it goes on extremely smooth and seems to last quite a while as well! The glitter is very subtle.
Dr Jahrt Eye Serum - I have been looking for a great eye serum and I think this might be it. Very moisturizing without being heavy, and I like the texture. Not too runny but not watery like some eye serums can get. And it's a full size product so I can really try it out and see if I want to re-buy.
Dear by Enprani: Bounce Cheese Cream - This item is what caught my eye the first time I ever saw this box, and it didn't dissapoint. I love experimenting with moisturizers and I like the consistency of this one! Well, I love it when it is rubbed in, ha. My method for applying cremes is to dot it all over my face then rub in. Yeah, that does not work at all for this creme! It just creates strings of product when you try to dot, and I ended up with stringy lines of it all over my face, ha!
So the products I still need to try are the
Banila Co Brightening Cream,
Papa Recipe Lip Patch (Can't wait to use this, especially with all this dry winter weather!), and the
Nuganic Sunblock (Planning on test running that tomorrow. It smells so good!)
That is awesome that you liked everything! We have pretty much the same impression of the items, although I'm a bit further into using the eye cream and I loveee it. Dr. Jart is awesome. Also the little Tonymoly sample: I've received quite a few sample-sizes of their lippies and they're all like that: pretty much label-less, but no less amazing product quality-wise. The lip patch is weird and makes you look hilarious when you're wearing it. I didn't notice a difference once I used it, but it was still a blast haha
