Mini Haul From COSME-DE.COM Unboxing*

Hi lovelies! Today I have a little haul for you.

A while back I was contacted by COSME-DE.COM to try out their online store and services, so I decided to pick up a few things that I've been wanting to try. (YASSS! What better excuse to shop!!) Read on to unbox with me and learn more about my shopping experience with them.

COSME-DE.COM is a Hong Kong based international online beauty store that specializes in cosmetic and skincare products. They carry a wide range of brands from luxury high-end to drugstore, such as Dior, YSL, Maybelline and Max Factor, and also some Asian brands - 3CE, Shiseido Maquillage and Laneige. You can check out their full brand list here, I'm sure there's something for everyone.

This is my first time shopping with COSME-DE.COM and I must say I'm impressed with their service. They offer free worldwide shipping with tracking and my package arrived at my doorstep within a week. They also provide an estimated shipping schedule that outlines the dispatching date and delivery timeframe in the confirmation email, which is always handy.

One thing that worries most people about online shopping is the authenticity of the products - at COSME-DE.COM, they guarantee that their stock is 100% genuine, brand new and fresh. I also noticed that they include the expiry date in the description if a particular product is expiring in 1-2 years time, which I really appreciate as a buyer.

Moving on to the package I received, everything was individually bubble wrapped in a small box that is safely packed with little to no extra space for the products to move around causing any damage or breakage.

First item that I'm most excited about is the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Pink Quartz (0.4oz, 10.3g). This is one of the signature products from Bobbi Brown and I have always wanted to try it.

It is a shimmering powder that reflects light and radiance to give the skin a soft glow. Each compact has five strips of complementary shades that allow you to customize your highlight colour. You can swirl all the shades together or use only the top/bottom half to create a shade that compliments your skin tone and makeup. Individually, these five strips can also be used as intensely shimmery eyeshadows.

If you didn't know, I discovered the Clinique Cheek Pop blushers early last year and the unique formula quickly became one of my favourites. So when I saw they have the Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Prim er (0.13oz, 3.9g) in stock, I knew I had to pick up some.

This lip range comes in so many different shades, from your staple nudes to bold reds, pretty pinks to rich plums. It claims to be a weightless formula that can last up to 8 hours and provides a bold, saturated colour with a semi-matte finish. It is also combined with a smoothing primer (composed of sodium hyaluronate, ceramides, shea butter, and murumuru butter) that is supposed to create a smooth surface for the lip colour to lay down.

I wanted a good nude colour for everyday wear and of course a pop of colour since it's "Clinique Pop", so I went ahead and chose the shades 04 Beige Pop and 06 Poppy Pop. Beige Pop is a "light, pinkish nude" and Poppy Pop is a "mid-tone orange".

Last thing I picked up is an eyeshadow quad. We all know that I'm a big eyeshadow hoarder and I can't seem to get enough of neutral shadows (I mean who can?), so I don't think I can pass up on this one - Lunasol Grace Contrasting Eyes in 01 Antique Gold (4g).

I have never tried anything from Lunasol before, but I have heard good things about this brand. This eyeshadow quad has a reflective bronzey, rose gold packaging which I am instantly drawn towards.

Each eyeshadow has a beautiful embossing on top that creates a pattern when combined. This quad is part of Lunasol's Uruwashi Jyouka collection, it was inspired by the art movement Rococo to produce a range of elegant and sophisticated shades.

Shimmery white shade - Highlight
Light gold shade - Entire eye lid
Medium tan shade - Crease
Deeper brown shade - Lash line and outer corner
