I honestly don´t mind paying for a nice GWP as long as the price still makes it a good deal. I like travel sizes and when there are smaller sizes of makeup instead of only skincare it usually works out to be a good deal when I pay a few $ for them (especially for a high-end brand like Shu Uemura!).
Anyway, for around US$13 plus a few bucks for shipping I got a seriously nice set on eBay containing:
-Brush roll (well, I have the cute ones from my darling Yumeko so I don´t really need this boring black pouch but I think it´s good for traveling as I don´t care if it gets dirty etc.)
-Deepsea Water Rose mist (13ml)
-High Performance Cleansing Oil Fresh (20ml)
-Gloss Unlimited WN283S (2.75ml)
-Nail Enamel Supplement Mineral Lilac (5ml)
The Deepsea Water Rose comes in a handy spray bottle and is a perfect treat for on the go. It smells like fresh roses and is nicely refreshing, especially now in this annoyingly hot weather (well, I am complaining about 28 degrees C, haha! I am made for cold weather, I don´t mind when it has below zero degrees but I can´t stand anything over 25! The summer in Egypt will be horror for me weather-wise hehe).
I haven´t tried the cleansing oil as I am going to use it when I travel but from the reviews I read it should be nice...we´ll see!
The 2 goodies that caught my eye were definitely the gloss and nail color.
To be honest I am not so much a fan of the Gloss Unlimited range as the colors tend to be so super sheer but WN283S looked very pretty and with more color so I was happy that this was included in the set.
The texture of this gloss is on the thinner and slick side so I don´t feel it´s sticky at all.
This gloss seems to be slightly fragranced but it´s easily tolerable for me
This specific color carries a good amount of fine shimmer and enough color to show up. It looks like a grayish muddy sort of purple in the tube but applies like a beautiful cool rose on my lips.
Overall I love this gloss as the color and texture are really nice to wear!
The Nail Enamel Supplement Mineral in Lilac is a very pretty pastel purple nail color with a very glossy but creamy finish (as in no glitter and only very fine miniscule shimmer).
This polish dries really fast and with about 3 coats I was able to achieve a very fresh even lilac color. This lasted without chipping for over 4 days and only lost a little of its glossy finish so I am really impressed as no nail color can last without chipping for more than 2 days on me usually (incl. OPI and other popular nail polish brands!). I am sure I will try to score more colors from this range as I love this formula!
I used a base and top coat btw (base from Maquillage and top from Coffret D´or)
Overall I am very happy with this purchase and love the handy travel sizes! I will take them all with me to Egypt =)

Hey Kathi,
That's a beautiful set! I especially love the lipgloss, will check my local counter to see if it is part of the permanent range.

That looks like an amazing set! The nail polish looks beautiful :)
So did you do 5 coats of nail stuff total? (Base, 3 coats of color, and top coat?)

Iam looking forward to the fall collecion aleady.
Now your exams are over, its great to hear you're back to the blogging again and I Hope you have a great trip to Egypt ^.^
*** p.s I tried the mask on the other day and it really brightened up my skin, I wasn't too sure about the smell as I found it too overpowering for my own taste but my skin felt really soft afterwards. Thank you very much and very much appreciated =)
