Hows everyones X'mas mood? Has it started?
My X'mas holiday mood has already started as i spotted this KOSE Esprique Precious X'mas set at the mall today while passing by for lunch. I saw it in the mailer the other day but it was indicated that item will only start on sale from 1 Dec. So how can i miss it.. immediately i head towards the counter for checkout haha, fast shopping rite.
Yumeko, bought this recently in Japan too. I was actually expecting for her review but couldn't hold back since its such a great value.

here's the content!
The nail polish was of almost the same size as the majolica majorca one which i'm quite pleased as i prefer minis than those full sized one. (so i can buy more for the same space)
the eyegloss, which was rather shimmer

The blush is Jill Stuart inspired kinda combination.

even the opening button is so pretty with 2 jewel on it...

the blush with the brush
both pic above are very close to actual shade... its quite bright and not as shimmer as i thought.
For the 1st swept using the blush, it was so shimmer & sheer that i was quite taken back.. but its due to the white shimmers dust as the butterfly decor as you can see in the pic...
will do a full review on this lovely x'mas set tmr!
it's really pretty! esp. the blush
ReplyDeletecan't wait for your review! :D
btw, i think i'm going to send the stuffs in 2 or 3 days :)
Karen, you are making my saliva glands work overtime!!! I can't wait to read your review tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteCan you please take a picture of it with a MAC lippie or something similar so we can gauge the size of the blush? Thanks so much =D
Ahhh, the Sakura Kit Kat is still available? Dang, how I wish I'm in SG!!!
Go check O2 Skin out! I think they're to your preference since you like the eye jellies from JS =D
I got this set too!! couldn't resist at all.. pretty good value for everything too..
ReplyDeletemy Guerlain purchases were made by a friend from DFS, she's an air stewardess, so she gets an extra 20% off the DFS price, so that's less 7% + 20%. Which is a pretty good deal.. If you want, I can try to ask her to get when she flies again. But you might have to wait a while to get the items, depending on her flight schedules. Email me if you're interested =)
