Box Contents:

TOPSHOP Smokey Eye Palette in Enigma ($22.00 from TOPSHOP): Enigma is a stunning neutral palette that features 4 finely milled shadows that are smooth and gorgeous. They glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly and the shades are infinitely flattering.

According to TOPSHOP,

Everything you need to create the perfect brown smokey eye. The palette includes four complementary colours, complete with an applicator, mirror and a handy step-by-step how-to guide. 

Pony Effect Stay Fit Matte Lip Color #SoGood ($18.00 for 4.6 g.from MEMEBOX): I don't wear too many matte lipsticks because my lips dry out easily. #SoGood is a gorgeous, deep berry pink, and while I find it neither drying, nor moisturizing– I do prefer to wear it on top of a lip balm. The wear-time is quite impressive, and I find it transfer proof. I experience at least 5 hours of wear time, and when it fades– it does so evenly. If you are a fan of matte lipsticks, then this is a definite must-try!

According to Pony Effect,

Go mad over matte without drying out! There's no chapping or cracking with these silky colors, which is why it's our go-to for a bold lip!

This matte lip color from Pony Effect delivers intense, opaque color without sucking all the moisture outta your lips, thanks to its nourishing formula of Murumuru Seed Butter and Brazil Nut Seed Oil. Creamy in texture, it glides on smoothly and sets to a long-lasting matte finish that stays put with minimal smudging so you can sip, slurp, and smack away!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Stained Gloss in Nomad ($11.99 from Rakuten): Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics makes such gorgeous lipsticks, and their Stained Glosses are also absolutely stunning. OCC's Stained Gloss in Nomad is described as a "gold-laced maroon" shade, and it has a stunning pearly sheen and luminosity. It is very, very concentrated– therefore only the tiniest amount is needed for the greatest efficacy. It can be worn alone, or over an OCC Lip Tar for added depth. The finish is gorgeous and glossy, and I do not find it in the least bit drying on the lips. It actually looks gorgeous on top of Pony Effect Stay Fit Matte Lip Color #SoGood!

According to OCC,

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics OCC Stained Gloss, Nomad Stained Gloss combines the pigment potency of a Lip Tar with a casual glossy finish that is ready-to-wear from its first slick application to the high impact stain it leaves behind. It can be worn alone or layered over your favorite existing lip tar shade for added depth, dimension and a long lasting glossy finish. It's highly pigmented so a little goes a long way.
