I never heard of Oriks before but found a rather affordable kit on Gmarket for 39800 Won (about US$36 or so) containing:
-Oriental Herb BB Cream (1 + 1 free)
-Oriental Herb Foaming Cleanser
-Oriental Herb Silky Pact
-Oriental Herb Silky Face Powder
Everything is full-sized and comes in cute purple boxes with a flower print.
-Oriental Herb BB Cream 50ml:
Comes in a purple squeeze tube with turquoise cover. Very basic and simple. I'd have preferred a pump dispenser or something.
This is a pretty pale BB Cream very suitable for my skin-tone. However it's a bit darkening after 10 mins or so turning my face a bit orange. What a pity as the texture (rather lightweight) and fine herbal smell are very pleasant. The coverage is rather sheer so an extra foundation/concealer is needed.
-Oriental Herb Foaming Cleanser 100ml:
Comes in a white squeeze tube with purple cover. It creates a very dense foam and cleanses very well, it can be a bit too harsh for my skin though. I think this would be suitable for slightly oilier skin-types.
-Oriental Herb Silky Pact 12g:
I can't comment much on the texture of this as I only lightly wiped it to determine whether the color would work or not. As I expected it's way too yellow and dark for me :(
Comes in a pretty purple compact with the signature flower print.
-Oriental Herb Silky Face Powder 20g:
Translucent loose powder with very sheer coverage. This can work as a finishing powder but I am not much into loose powders and the finish is slightly cakey.
All in all it's very mediocre stuff judging the 5 products I tried. Someone slightly more tan might enjoy some of the items more but still the sheerness of the BB Cream and cakey finish of the powder won't convince really.
I don't think I will be purchasing their items again.
I don't know much about Oriks.. Please let me know any further infos in the comments section.
