Skin Food Bordeaux Shining Special Kit

Skin Food is another great Korean brand and recently has become one of my favorites. They offer really pretty vintage-style items and one of the best items I purchased within the previous months is their Bordeaux Shining Special Kit.

The kit comes in a cardboard box that is closed with a rubber band you just pull around a button. It seems quite sturdy but probably won't survive extreme rough handling and storing it in the bathroom doesn't seem a good idea.

There are 3 items in the kit:

-Sugar Cookie Highlighter - a baked-type pastel marbled highlighter that gives a gorgeous glowy shine to the skin. It comes in a cardboard compact.


-Sugar Dessert Eyeshadow - a baked-type eyeshadow in a reddish mauve color. It's sheer and shimmery and really brightens my eyes. The Sugar Cookie eyeshadow range is available for purchase but this shade is exclusive to the kit


-Lip Gloss - I don't know if this has a name since there is nothing written on the gloss. It's a pretty very shiny and shimmery neutral pinkish brown shade. It's strongly fragranced which is a bit of a bummer for me but I can stand the scent. This comes with a brush applicator.


This retails for 19800 Won in South Korea which equals just below US$20. I think this is quite affordable for such a pretty set of goodies! I purchased this off ebay though so I ended up paying more than double that =(
