Each month's kit comes with an info card. This kit also came with a pamphlet introducing Olivarrier, a recently launched skincare line from Korea.
This makeup bag design is inspired by pop art. It's a cotton pouch with padded walls. It is slightly bigger than your usual Ipsy bag.
Olivarrier Gentle Glow Seed Polishing Mask sample - Value $0.72
Olivarrier is a brand new skincare brand that aims to reinforce your natural skin barrier by using ingredients that are low pH, preservative free, and hypoallergenic.
This one is an Amazonian white mud and cranberry seed wash-off mask that gently exfoliates while enhancing moisture and elasticity of the skin. I love the creamy consistency of the mask. When dry it doesn't make my face stiff and uncomfortable. My only small complaint is that the cranberry seeds are difficult to wash off-- they cling onto the skin like little bugs! However, the results are immediate. My pores look smaller and my skin less red. The skin feels velvety soft, smooth, and matte. It's such a treat! I would gladly use this again.
Olivarrier Dual Moist Toning Lotion sample - Value $0.30
This toner's consistency is slightly thicker than water. Like the name suggests, it is very hydrating without feeling heavy or sticky. This would be great for me for wintertime when I need that extra oomph to combat dry air.
Olivarrier Dual Moist Comfort Cream sample - Value $0.67
This is a lightweight cream that contains hyaluronic acid and olive squalane for moisture and skin protection. It is light enough to be used as a daily moisturizer and under makeup.
Olivarrier Emollient Extra Comfort Cream sample - Value $0.67
This face cream is slightly thicker in consistency than the Dual Moist Comfort Cream. It contains D-panthenol and allantoin to soothe and reform damaged skin. Just based on the samples, I don't see too much difference between the two creams, but I'm sure this would change with prolonged usage.
Etude House Real Art No-Wash Cleansing Water - Value $1.20
This cleansing water removes makeup and dirt without the need to rinse afterward. I am usually very diligent about cleaning off makeup and washing my face, but sometimes I get way too tired to complete the whole routine. Times like those call for cleansing water to come to the rescue. All it takes is a cotton pad and a few swipes over my face, and voila! My face is cleansed. I am very sensitive about sticky or greasy residue, but this one has neither-- another plus for me!
Dr. G Super Aquasis Moisture Toner - Value $5.29
This is a toner that feels slightly thicker than water. Because of its hydrating consistency, it almost feels like a lightweight essence to me. The fragrance is a little strong but it dissipates quickly after application.
A'Pieu Peach Hand Cream - Value $6.48
This hand cream is great! It smells like peach candy-- think gummy peach rings. The cream is thick at first but glides onto the skin with ease. It leaves a soft, velvet finish with zero stickiness or greasiness.
Holika Holika Juicy Mask Sheet in Tomato - Value $1.99
Mask types vary for subscribers. I received the Tomato version. I expected this mask to have a floral fragrance, but nope, it actually smells like tomatoes. I wasn't a big fan of that. Aside from the smell, the cotton mask fits well and offers a very hydrating experience without any sticky residue afterward. Plus, while the effects were only temporary, my face looked brighter and felt smoother too.
Verdict: I'm quite satisfied with all the items in this W.I.N Beauty Kit! Not counting the bag, the total value is $17.32, which is a little over the cost of the subscription. The curation is great so far, and I'm so happy to discover and try out products from a recently launched brand!
