Empties

 Hello,

another empties post in a row. This has become the easiest post to write but also I had nothing new to talk about. That changed yesterday because I went shopping and bought a few new make-up bits. I wanted to get new face primer and along the way I got some more products...


Biobaza Bee Balm and I have two versions of them. Yellow is Ginger & Honey and purple one is Lavender & Vanilla. In my initial review I said that they are on the top three list of my favorite lip balms formula but now I seem like I changed my mind. I wore them in the cold weather and that is when I had some issues. It seem like this formula doesn't like cold weather because it gets all gunky, hard and sticky at he same time while on the lips, outside or indoors if it is too cold. That product buildup is not looking nice and it also feels 'uncomfortable'. If I ever repurchase these I will make sure to use them while it is warm but at the end I don't think I will. There are so many brands out there that I would like to try out...

Next is this lovely dry shampoo from Langhaar Mädchen which is already a repurchase. Affordable price with a lovely scent, somehow floral with a touch of power, barely any white residue and matte finish. This is neck to neck with the Batiste and I will buy more from both brands, I just wish LM would have more scents but this one that they have is amazing already, so...

Last are two face powders, one is my old time favorite and the other one I just finished up so I can throw it away. One of my favorites is Rimmel London Stay Matte face powder in Transparent. I went through a couple of them and I still have backups. I love how matte my face looks like and it holds my oils at bay for a few hours and then I just retouch and continue with my day.
The other one is Benecos Natural compact powder in the shade Porcelain. When I bough it it was the lightest shade available (maybe now they have shades for paler people but I haven't checked them out in a while). It was too dark for me but I would use it on my neck to help it match (my neck seems to appear lighter than my face so I use a tad lighter foundation on my face and a tad darker one on my neck and at the end my face and neck don't look like they belong to two different people ;)

Empties

 Hello,

It is the end of the month and it is empties time! It went by so fast and it is kind of hard to realize that there are only two more months to go...


First is Blistex intensive moisturiser lip cream with Cherry scent. It contains 6 ml of products which I think is quite a lot. It really is a cream product and at first leaves a bit of a white residue on my lips but it does sinks in after a couple of minutes (if I applied more that it took longer to absorb). I was using it at home so no one could see the white cast and it was fine. It is moisturizing and I really liked the Cherry scent. This balm was definitely on the upper part of my lip balm list but I still think I won't repurchase it again. There are other balms that I prefer over this baby.

Next is my holy grail Neutrogena oil free daily face moisturizer. I have used up a lot of these tubes and every so often they slightly change the packaging but the product still feels the same. It is a light texture cream which absorbs super fast, it moisturizes my skin instantly but keeps my skin matte. I tell you, this is magic and I already have a new tube.

Another love is this particular Batiste dry shampoo in the Blush option. It smells like Peony and even though I normally don't obsess over this scent I love it in my hair and on the day when I do spray my hair with it I rarely wear perfume because it is so strong and I want to smell it all day long. I will repurchase it but at the moment I'm using different one which is also really nice (it is from a different brand).

I'm quite sad that The Body Shop don't make this Vineyard Peach collection anymore. I used to have a lotion and the scent charmed me so much that I rushed to the store and got myself butter version as well and now even this has come to an end. This had a very authentic Peach scent and it was delicious. I will miss it but I still have more TBS butters that need to be used up.

Essence High Beauty hydrating primer was a gift from Essence PR team. I already talked about it in depth so I will just quickly go through main points. First is the smell, it is very natural and green smelling, not my favorite but after a while it disappears. Then the texture is cream like and slightly yellow but it sinks in very fast and my skin looked pretty matte but when I applied my foundation on top of it it looked more dewy and since I have pretty oily skin this one wasn't my favorite. I used it up on my days off, over face cream to amp up the moisture and using it like that I was able to finish it up pretty fast.


The very last item is this Benecos Natural Kajal in White (to be honest it is more of a off white color-cream if you will). When I bought it I was obsessed with putting it into my lower waterline so I immediately bought myself a backup (there was no need to do that  because it is still available). After using it daily I started to wear it less and less until I completely forgot about it. Only recently I picked it up again and the experience wasn't the best. I put it into my waterline and after a while it started to travel around my eye and my vision blurred a bit, not something I would want so I'm throwing it away and I will start using the 'new' one and if it does the same I'm throwing that one away as well. 

I'm done with products that work only partially for me, I'm not going to push boundaries to make it work. It ether works or I'm letting go of it, life is to short to wear make-up which doesn't makes me happy.

Empties

Hello,

cold weather and some snow announce true Winter. I don't like this season but since I'm an optimist I do anything to make me feel better. I light up my fireplace, warm up some hot chocolate, bundle up on couch with some books... I would do pretty much anything until reality strikes me and I have to embrace the cold and go to work  ;)


I think that the name of the brand is Roberts and it is their Rose water/toner. Mine is just a sample bottle that I received when I bought the full size (I gave it to my mom and she loves it). I feel in love with it after first use, it is rose scented which is already a big plus for me but it also feels moisturizing and a great companion for my make-up. I pour it in a spray bottle and use it over my make-up and it just makes it better. It is quite hard to explain but I can see a difference to the better. My skin afterwards isn't to dewy just hydrated and healthy looking. Now I'm using something else but I'm buying the big bottle next (one for me and one for my mom).

Dusch das is a very cheap brand that makes body washes. I remember a couple of years when I went on a vacation with my parents and we completely forgot to take a body wash with us so we found this one in a local market and the Magnolia scent charmed me. It is nothing too special but this scent take me places, I probably won't buy other scents but this one for sure I will.

Green Pharmacy products were on my list for a long time so when I was running low on micellar water I purchase this tall bottle. It is gentle on my skin but unfortunately also on make-up. I wash my face with face wash and as a last step I soak cotton pad with some micellar water to remove any bits of foundation or eyeshadow left but this one just couldn't handle it. I won't be buying it again.

Biotherm recovery face gel intense hydration prolong your tan gel was something I purchased at the beginning of this Summer. For its claims to prolong your tan you have to have some tan to begin with ;)   I used it as a night time moisturizer and it didn't disappoint. It feels like an ordinary aloe gel but way more hydrating. I didn't even need to top it off with oil or heavier cream, this lightweight gel was completely enough. It is a stellar product but the packaging has its flaws. On the photo you can't see but the straw doesn't reach all the way till the bottom so I was not able to get the last bits of product out (it was expensive so I would really like to dig everything out), I thought of taking scissors or knife but knowing how clumsy I am I would rather keep all of my fingers so I'm tossing this pretty hard plastic bottle away even though that there is still some amazing product left.


I finally decided to try the only mascara that my sister uses and she swears by. It is Avon Supershock mascara (I have used up a couple of tubes of the Supershock Max and loved it). This one is its big sister and it is gorgeous. Big brush my look scary at first but the plastic bristles combs through every lash. It can look very natural (it individualize and lengthen every single lash) with two coats it still doesn't look clumpy but a bit more dramatic (not in a false lash kind of way). I fell in love with it and I'm definitely buying it again.

The next mascara is from Catrice and it is The little black one in waterproof version. Compared to the Avon brush this one is tiny. It is very wet and if I didn't wipe it really well it made a big mess. With this one I had to take an extra step to remove the excess and slowly build it up but once it was on it looked quite dramatic and nothing could ruin it (it survived my sisters wedding day). Still, I wouldn't repurchase it but I would rather get their Lashes to Kill mascara next.


Missha perfect cover BB cream in the shade 13 was something I bought ages ago. A couple of years I was only wearing BB creams but those times has changed but I'm still left with quite a lot of Asian BB creams which I use on my neck and chest (it depend from my clothes and how deep the cuts go). This one was a bit too light but it was nice to mix in with other BB creams. This tube never really convinced me to get the more suitable shade for myself. For me the coverage wasn't impressive enough and so  I was always scratching my head whenever I have read or heard people raving about it.

Benecos Fall in love blush trio was an amazing blush that I already miss. I talked about it here you can also see how it looks like. The color was a fresh coral-pink with build in highlighter. In original post I stated that the blush and highlighting strip feels softer and the bronzer strip harder and I was right. I had a massive pan in the center and towards the coral blush part it was very thin while the brown side was still quite intact. Last week when I used it, happy with the result I accidentally dropped it and it smashed all over my floor so I had to clean it up and admit that it is gone. I know that this trio is still available and I have set a goal for myself. When I will finish two more blushes I will go and pick this baby again, I just have to stay away from purchasing novelties and use what is already in my stash.

That last bit goes for all my make-up and cosmetic, I will try to finish at least two products from the same category before purchasing a new one at least if used one wasn't the only one. I decided that I'm not going to wait till next year to make resolutions which will benefit me but I will start right now and here.

Coffee and Cream

Hello,

today I have to show you the last item from Benecos. I bought a lot of products from them a while ago and this palette somehow just didn't got its turn until now.

Benecos natural eye shadow palette Coffee and Cream

Benecos natural eye shadow palette in Coffee and Cream contains four neutral shades, great for beginners or just fans of neutral looks, like myself.


This color scheme attracted me the most, they also have the purple quad if you are a fan of those colors. The finishes vary from shade to shade, there are matte, sateen and shimmery shades included. The pigmentation is great, swatches were made only with two swipes except for the first cream shade, that one I had to layer a bit in order to show up but the reason is also my pale complexion.

Benecos natural eye shadow palette Coffee and Cream

First off white/cream color is matte and a little chalky but nothing too bad. On my skin it barely shows up but I use it as a base on top of a sticky base and it works perfectly.
Next we have warm bronze borderline orange-y shade with almost metallic finish, it contains small shimmer which makes this shadow shine but I usually blend it out a lot and it looks almost like it has sateen finish.
The third is my favorite. Warm nude which looks like nothing special in the pan but on the skin it is fantastic. It deepens my skin tone just for a shade and adds beautiful sateen finish which I love so much. I wish they would make this shade in a single packaging because I have a feeling I will go through it super fast.
The last dark neutral brown is also matte and pigmentation is superb. I mostly use it instead of liner and I love how it warms up the eye opposed to the usual grey pencil.

If you expected, like I did, that this palette will lack pigmentation or it would be overly shimmery or glittery you would be wrong. On the swatches above the shades maybe don't look like anything special but they look amazing on the eye. I did all kinds of different looks using only this palette and I loved them all. This palette is great in my opinion and I love using it.

How do they compare?

Hello,

two days ago I wrote about my affection about this particular blush shade and something in my head light up. I couldn't figure it out until today (I'm guilty of not storing my make-up in the same space but it can be found everywhere), that I have two very similar blushes in my collection. Curiosity killed the cat but I think this situation is slightly different and no one will get hurt if I test the two side by side and see if they are dupes.

Catrice blush artist shading palette Bronzeclat
& Benecos natural blush Toasted Toffee

First trio blush is Catrice blush artist shading palette in Bronzeclat and second in round pan is Benecos natural blush in Toasted Toffee.

Catrice blush artist shading palette Bronzeclat 


Benecos natural blush Toasted Toffee

Catrice blush artist shading palette Bronzeclat
& Benecos natural blush Toasted Toffee

Here they are, side by side, first is from Catrice and second is Benecos. It is evident that they do have similar feel but they are not to be swapped.
Catrice seems darker and less vivid, more toned down and almost as a bronzer but it has too much red tint in it to be properly called like that.
Benecos one leans on the burnt orange side, it looks more vibrant compared with the Catrice one.
Both of them have a matte finish which you can leave like that (I personally think they will be great for Autumn but now I usually apply highlighter on top to make them more fun and season appropriate).
I honestly love them both and I couldn't decide which I prefer, I guess we will have to see which one I will use up faster  ;)

Toasted Toffee

Hello,

I'm really on a roll with blushes. They got my interest last year and I fell into this rabbit hole hard. I bought so many that it is really hard to test them all out, after all, I only have one set of cheeks. This color interested me from the beginning, I don't know what exactly it is about burnt orange but I like it.

Benecos natural blush Toasted Toffee

This Benecos natural blush in Toasted Toffee which I bought in March and I have been using on and off ever since. It is a bit harder shade to wear and great pigmentation is not a plus if you are so fair.

Benecos natural blush Toasted Toffee

Here I have swatched it on the back of my hand and the second swatch (closer to the knuckles, what my seems like a blur) is the color blended out.
It is a nice burnt orange shade that my look like a burn if placed high on the cheekbone, I use it very sparingly and when I don't wear too much of other make-up. I feel like it is more of a summer shade and looks great paired with mascara and bright coral lip.
I like wearing it but for me this isn't everyday kind of shade and I prefer to wear it in warmer months. In my opinion Benecos makes great blushes, there are two other shades that I haven't picked up jet, one bright coral and more muted plumy-pink shade. Maybe, if they will go on sale again I will purchase some more.

Bright Blue

Hello,

I collected almost all of the Benecos kajals during their amazing sale and I still regret not getting the bronze one and then I forgot to use one I already had?

Benecos Natural Kajal Bright Blue

All in all, here it is at last. This pencil is from Benecos and it is part of their Natural Kajal line, the name of the shade is pretty suggestive, Bright Blue.

Benecos Natural Kajal Bright Blue

Very bright, indeed but also very smooth and easy to apply. You don't need to build the color, two layers and you are good to go. The longlasting effect blew me away, again. Benecos really knows how to make great kajals even for oilier lids.

Benecos Natural Kajal Bright Blue

Here is the better view of the color. I left it on for about 5 min. and I needed to rub really hard to get it off, you can imagine that on the eye it doesn't move much.
This one is joining the popular jar, yeah, I have two jars full of eye pencils. One for the ones that convinced me with color and stay on for the entire day and the other one is, well, filled with regret ;)
I can't wait for another sale on Benecos products because I need that bronze color as well.

Are they really similar?

Hello,

the other day when I was doing my make-up I spotted potential dupes. I bought so many eye shadows lately that I lost track of them, so it is possible that I'm buying similar colors.
Sometimes they don't look so similar while in the pan but when you swatch them you have to admit that you really don't need both.

Misslyn Flirty Copper & Benecos So what!

First one is from Misslyn Eyes, eyes baby edition in the shade Flirty Copper and second one is from Benecos in So what! shade. On the first glance they do look similar and I was curious if they could be swapped.

Benecos So, what! & Misslyn Flirty Copper 

On the swatches I changed order (I'm sorry, I really wasn't thinking). First swatch is made with Benecos one which is more gold compared with bronzier Misslyn shade.

Benecos So, what! & Misslyn Flirty Copper 

Flirty Copper from Misslyn also appears more metallic than Benecos mono shade.
So, the verdict is that they are not dupes at all and I can keep them both but in the future I have to be more careful. I like them both and I just couldn't pick favorite.

Olive on the eyes

Hello,

I'm in full spring mode and it shows in my make-up. My cheeks are flushed, lips are glossy and I have been sporting something green on my eyes for a while now. I own three, actually four green pencils. I don't know when my love for green appeared because my eyes are grey/blue, already colorful and I usually play it safe with neutrals but recently I have been picking up more green and incorporating it in my everyday looks. I swear I use light hand and don't over do it, I don't look like a clown afterwards.

Benecos natural kajal Olive

The most recent one is from Benecos, their natural kajal in Olive. If I would have brown eyes I would wear more olive green tones but since I'm not so lucky and I don't have hazel eyes I feel like I have to be careful. In the store this shade looked amazing and I wasn't disappointed. The shade is an absolute stunner.

Benecos natural kajal Olive

It shifts from darker green to an olive almost golden shade. It has this multidimensional look which gives an illusion that I used more colors when I used only one.
The texture is soft and easy to put on, no tugging the lid with this baby and the best thing is that it stays put just like the Grey version.
What can I say to sum it up, Benecos pencils really have great formula, well they work for me and I'm hard to please when it comes to pencils. If you ever see their stand I really suggest you to check their items, they are great.

Stardust

Hello,

as a person with oily skin I was never a big fan of highlighters but I do like my skin dewy because I think matte finish on me looks ridiculous but to add more shine to my face? It sounds completely against my nature but I discovered that some of my blushes are matte and almost always I added my one highlighter (this was before I got this one) on top to make it glow (if my face is dewy and cheeks are super matte I feel weird, whole face should have the same finish, at least that is my opinion). I don't put it on highest points of my face all over but only on areas where I used blush. That is my way of using it.

Benecos natural highlighting powder Stardust

So I had one highlighter before and when Benecos had their products on sale I felt the need to test their highlighter as well. In the store they had sample and I could swear that the shimmer it contains reflected silver and since the one I had was gold/bronze I wanted to get this one to achieve different effects but as it turned out this one is also on the warm side.

Benecos natural highlighting powder Stardust

So it has their signature embossed flower on the product and in the pan it looks slightly off white with some pink undertone but on the skin if applied with a brush you only get shimmer which is very sparse and makes a very subtle highlight. I'm still new at this illuminating game so I'm okay with light effect but what bothers me that it gives sparkling effect rather illuminating.

Benecos natural highlighting powder Stardust

Here I swatched it on the back of my hand with a finger not a brush and I moisturized my hands prior with a hand cream so the skin was still a bit tacky just to make a strong swatch for the camera to pick it up. I doubt you can build it up like that on your cheeks. Here it does look similar to Terra Naturi highlighter that I love so much but the truth is that this one goes on like a sparse glitter/shimmer and it doesn't look too natural in my opinion. Here it looks like it has yellow/gold base with a sheen but that looks like that only because of a heavy swatch applied with a finger.
This product left me cold, if I would know what I know now I wouldn't buy it but the other day I was playing with it and put a little on my lids and it was nice for a quick look but I have no idea if I will be able to use it up in this life because the pan is bigger than the ones blushes comes in, actually it is the same size as a compact powder which I also wrote detailed review about it here.

Perfect grey

Hello,

the more products I try from the natural Benecos brand the more I love it. There is one slip and if you are interested which item didn't really convinced me you can find it here. Today I'm showing you the same product in different color but it seems like it also have different formula.

Benecos natural kajal in Grey

As mentioned this is Benecos natural kajal in Grey. I assume this shade gets overlooked because its more popular black sister always steals the show. I'm personally not a fan of black eye make-up on myself but instead I like to reach over grey shades to define my eyes or I like to say, to put them on the map of my face.

Benecos natural kajal in Grey 

Here is a close up to show that this is not your average grey shade, usually they are darker some appear on the lid almost black. I don't like those 'fake' grey shades, if I'm getting grey I want it to be grey but I imagine that this is not for everyone.

Benecos natural kajal in Grey (second swatch)

The first swatch was made with black pencil and second belongs to the Benecos Grey shade I'm talking in details here. It is quite obvious how much lighter it is and that it does not have the same impact but if you like softer looks this is the shade for you. It still gives me some definition but my eye isn't swollen by it.
I find the formula to be outstanding. I have very oily, greasy and a bit saggy lids which means that pencils tend to print on top of my lid quite often. With this particular shade that didn't happen and I'm more than pleased that it thick all the boxes.
For me this shade is close to perfection, the formula works for me and it is a natural product that don't break the bank, what else could I want from it?

So what!

Hello,

I almost forgot that I haven't posted a review about this little eye shadow. It has quickly found its place in my routine and almost always I incorporate it in my looks.

Benecos eye shadow So what!

I bought it from Benecos and the name of the shade is So what! The formula is buttery soft with a lot of pigment, so no plain shadow here. They have a couple of other shades but non of them is really neutral except for this one which is a shame. I think they should make more neutral shades for us neutral loving gals.

Benecos eye shadow So what!

The color is a beautiful mix of gold and bronze and it doesn't have any shimmer but it does have great sateen finish that glows. I often use it for one shadow look but sometimes I deepen my crease with a bit of chocolate brown and I basically let this shade to be the star of the look.

I would get more singles if any other shade would appeal to me but so far this will be the only one. I also bought one neutral quad which I haven't even started cracking, I know, it is sad but I just bought way too many eye shadows and I just don't have enough time to properly test all of them.

Night Blue

Hello,

today was such a fun day, I met with my sister who celebrated her birthday today. There were lots of good food involved so I will try to go quick. I can tell you that I didn't used this product today because I knew it wouldn't last.

Benecos natural kajal in Night Blue

It is Benecos natural kajal in Night Blue. I already wrote about awesome white shade here. This one is part of the same line but it performs differently. The shade is lovely. Dark grey with a blue flash which is more obvious the more layers you make. Really beautiful but the formula is not so great.

Benecos natural kajal in Night Blue

This is a close up of the shade where it looks more blue than the actual color on the skin. The pencil is soft and easy to apply, it does not tug the skin but glides smooth as a butter but it also smudge very easily if you don't set it with an eye shadow.

Benecos natural kajal in Night Blue

That is the color with two layers, you can intensify it with one or two more if you prefer darker defined eyes. The blue shift is a nice change from my typical grey line.
The problem I have with this particular shade is that when I put it on my upper lid after an hour or two I end up with smudges under my eyes (pandas, everyone?). I tried with setting it with and eye shadow but it doesn't help completely.
The formula and the shade are lovely just the staying power kind of sucks, I think I won't throw it away just yet but maybe I can use it when I will run to the store and I will still want to wear some make-up but I will know that it doesn't need to last for long.

Porcelain?

Hello,

more Benecos items are coming your way. Slowly I'm testing everything out and so far nothing has left me cold.

Benecos Natural compact powder Porcelain

This is Benecos Natural compact powder in Porcelain. It is the lightest shade and it matches my hands perfectly but my face is still a bit lighter so two layers makes me look more tan. I would say it does a nice job at mattifying, I still have to touch up since my skin is getting oilier (we are having almost Summer worthy temperatures outside) and as I mentioned it makes me look more tan. It can look a bit too fake so I will put it aside and started using it again in the Summer and I can only hope my face will get a shade or two darker and it will match me better.

Fall in Love with me

Hello,

as I announced in my previous post today I would like to introduce to you my new gorgeous blush. I have been wearing it pretty much every day since I got it, almost two weeks and I love it.


Benecos natural powder blush in Fall in Love

Its name is Benecos natural powder blush in Fall in Love. It has three shades that you swirl together for a lovely peachy pink shimmery blush. You can focus only one one shade if you have smaller brush but I don't fuss around and just mix them together.


Benecos natural powder blush in Fall in Love

The first strip shows all of the colors mixed together and the other three are swatched accordingly. First and last shades are both matte with a slight sheen but not shimmery while the middle one is a pink toned shimmery shade that adds enough glow to your cheeks that you don't need to use highlighter.
This blush stays on pretty much for the entire day, I have no complaints about the staying power but I noticed that the last bronzey shade swatches a bit harder. I had to rub much more intensely to get the color on my hand and I think the brush also can't pick much more so the end result is more pinky blush opposed to peachy. I remember the sample they had at the store swatched nicely so maybe is just mine.
At the end I don't mind because I like the color, if I will notice through the time that the first two shades are wearing down and the last one stays the same I might crush some bits and used it as an eye shadow. I know I won't waste anything.

more Benecos

Hello,

as predicted I went back and picked up some more Benecos items. I knew I want some more pencils and highlighter but the eye shadow palette jumped in when I wasn't looking, I swear.

Benecos products

I picked up 5 natural kajals, one of them is already a backup in White the rest are new to me and I will have lots of fun trying them out. I have Night blue, Olive, Bright blue, Grey and White, if you believe me those aren't all of the shades, some of them I didn't picked up and now that is bugging me.
Next is the highlighter in Stardust, it is the only shade that they have and is packed in the same sized pan as the mattifying powder. I had to have it because it has silver shimmer and the rest of my highlighters are gold, so I justified this purchase.
The last is the eye shadow quad in Coffee & Cream that I really didn't need but swatches that I found online were so beautiful...

Next weeks will be crazy, trying to test everything but it should also be fun.

big bright eye

Hello,

recently I bought some Benecos products and as expected I started using them as soon as possible. So far I can tell you I'm not disappointed. I don't have products for long but this particular item convinced me after one use and my love is just getting stronger day by day.

Benecos natural kajal in White

Let me introduce you Benecos natural kajal in White, if you ask me this is more of a cream color but it is their call. I tried a handful of pencils on my waterline and nothing stayed put. Some started to flake and travel all over my eyes so my vision was blurred or it hurt really bad. I almost gave up but when I saw this one I decided to give it a go. It is supposed to be natural so I expected to be at least gentle.

Benecos natural kajal in White

It turns out to be perfect. The color is cream and not white which makes it more natural. On my watery waterline it stays put for at least 8 hours (non of the pencils I have ever tried survived an hour), it does not flake or disappear and the most important thing, it does not irritate my sensitive eyes.
I love it so much that probably I will go back tomorrow and pick up some back ups and get more shades. I will report back if I do.

happy shopping

Hello,

I saw that this week there is a sale on Benecos products. I would say that this brand is still quite new and I often browsed through products but never picked out anything. Big sale encouraged me to google this brand and I found positive reviews and nice products for quite cheap.


Benecos compact powder, blush, eye shadow and eye kohl


To test it out I picked 5 products (no lip items, I'm so proud).
First there is compact powder in Porcelain which is the lightest shade, next is trio powder blush (blush, shimmery highlighter and bronzer) in the only shade available Fall in Love. The smallest pan contains beautiful antique gold mono eye shadow So what? and next there is one of the three blushes, mine is in Toasted Toffee shade. The last item is eye kohl in White but it looks more cream colored to me and I hope it will be useful on my waterline.
I can't wait to start testing them out and if they will be any good I might pick some more items while they are on sale.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
