Quickcap - Beauty



From the June Glossybox!

This is a pre-measured drink with the powder in the cap.
You fill the bottle with water, put the pop-top cap on and depress the green cap insert to release the powder.


Note the residue.

It is meant to be good for your physical appearance, with biotin (B7) and camu-camu (fancy form of vitamin C).

The bottle itself is quite nice and would be easy to reuse.

The powder dissolves at a decent rate, but little floating stuff remains.

The resulting drink is not effervescent, but is frothy, which is super weird.
If this was a beer, I'd be impressed by the head.

Flavour wise, it is weak (meant to be peach), hollow, and a little metallic.

After drinking it, my stomach hurt.
PB did tell me not to drink it.

Price: 2/5 ($32.17 for 7 caps and a bottle, about $4 each)
Taste: 1/5
Effectiveness: 1/5

Avon - Only Delight - Eau de Toilette



I like the packaging, a thin glass bottle easy to carry in a purse.
The cap stays on well and the lid top is pocked to look like the centre of a daisy.
The flower is attached by elastic and can be re-purposed.
The orange-pink colour is a fun, tropical shade.

I detect ruby grapefruit, pineapple, and purple florals.

Fragrantica lists the notes as passionfruit, Bulgarian rose petals and blue iris.

Unfortunately it doesn't last more than 10 minutes and is quite weak when it is first on.


Price: 4.5/5 (~$27 for 50mL)
Effectiveness: 1/5
Strength: Weak
Longevity: Very short lifetime
Time: Daytime
Season: Summer

L'Oeal Paris - True Match Concealer - Vanilla


This is a relatively good colour match for me, perhaps a bit too yellow but that is good for hiding purple tones under my eyes.

It really sucks here that it is hard to get light enough concealers/foundations/powders because the derps in marketing think everyone has the same skin tones.
ALSO even when they do make a better range THE STUPID STORES ONLY STOCK A LIMITED PART OF IT! >:(

Everyone in this picture should be able to easily get concealers... except the babies, they would probably just eat it.

Colour match aside, this formula is TOO thin for a concealer.
It's like they just put some foundation in a little bottle and slapped a 'concealer' label on it.
If I have a Mt Vesuvius situation, this won't cover it!

The packaging it comes in is great. 
Small enough for a purse and the doe-foot applicator makes it easy to put on.

Price: 2/5 ($19.95 for 5mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real smell)
Effectiveness: 3/5
