Rita Rove W So Lightsome haul =)

I've been lemming this Rita Rove W kit for a month or so now and while I ordered several times from Gmarket I just never purchased this (don't ask me why!).


But finally the kit made it to me and I have to say I am very pleased with the items.
Supposedly you pay for the 2 powders compacts (448000 Won) and get a full-sized BB Cream and Concealer with the purchase plus the seller (miae90322) adds 4 other toiletries as gifts. I calculate that I paid about US$9/each item (excluding the 4 other GWPs) so it's a really good deal.

-W So Lightsome Powder Pact SPF20 (For all skin types, 20g):


This comes in the beautiful purple crystal compact similar to their blusher compact. It comes with a powder puff and a mirror.
The texture of the powder is very silky and fine and it feels very lightweight and pleasant. It offers about medium coverage and an even non-cakey finish. I can't detect a strong scent which is pleasant (no headaches like with Cathy Cat's powders!).


I think the powders stays on very well through most of the day (though now the weather is really cool so I can't say how well it will survive through humid/hot days).


The color I picked (#21) is a very light very slightly yellow-toned powder that works perfectly with my skin-tone.
I am very pleased with the Powder Pact and can really recommend it.

-W Shine Powder Pact (For all skin types, 21g):


This comes in the identical compact to the other powder.
The texture is similar, the only difference seems to be the addition of lots of finely milled glitter. I personally prefer glowy powders (like the baked ones) because the glitters in the W Shine Powder are a bit bigger and give more of a shimmery than a glowy finish.
I think the Shine Powder looks very pretty on a darker winter day but in bright sunlight the glitter is a bit too obvious for my taste.


I chose color #21 which is a great match for my skin. It seems to be a tad more yellow and a tiny bit darker than the regular powder pact.

-W So Lightsome BB Cream (for all skin types, 50ml):


So this supposedly comes free with the powders in the full-size tube. The tube is a pretty simple light matte purple squeeze-tube with a white cover.
The W So Lightsome BB Cream has the typical slightly thick texture and very pale slightly grayish pink-undertoned beige color that works so well with my complexion. The coverage it offers is sheer-medium and there is no real perfume I can detect (which is unusual as most BB Creams are scented).
All in all this is a good BB Cream and well worth earning a place in my collection =) (I will post a swatch of this and a bunch of other new BB Creams in my next "BB Creams: Quick Comparison V")

-W So Lightsome Concealer:


The W So Lightsome Concealer is the other freebie and is housed in a purple swivel-out tube. It's one of those quite hard dry concealers that adhere extremely well to pimples or other kinds of small spots. It's not suitable really for under-eye circles or to cover bigger red areas due to the hard a bit difficult to spread formula.
The color it comes in (only 1 shade available) works perfectly with my natural skin tone and this concealer is really great to cover the occasional blemish I get on my chin.


All in all I am very happy with the lot and the items are of really great quality.

The other 4 freebies that came with the kit are a small pamphlet containing sample sachets of Rita Rove W So Lightsome makeup base and foundation (the lightest foundation is way too yellow and dark for me btw but the green makeup base seems to be quite nice), a pack of Purederm Makeup Remover Wipes, a package of cotton pads and a Purederm Korean Herb sheet mask (this one is quite good).

I think my faves are Lotree, Hanskin and Jadilla J/Castledew right now.
You can buy everything on Gmarket (I posted a lot about it, check the labels) or you can buy from eBay (for like 2-3x the price)
