Coffret D'or: Pressed Powder

I just realized what was missing from my blog: reviews! Seems like I haven't done one in a long time too!
Okay..before I start I just have a short ramble. I posted up my vid on YT and didn't turn off the comment section. I meant to do it, but I got lazy. Anyway, there were 2 haters...and wow..I'm quite surprised that they would take their time to watch my vid AND leave a comment! Some people just have too much time on their hands. They were actually hating on my nose.

It's so funny how people hide behind a computer now. Remember back in the days, if you were gonna say shit about someone, you'd want to say it in their face, but you don't? You wouldn't say it in their face unless you want your teeth knocked out...so yah. I'm not bothered by it, it's not like I have a problem with my nose anyway...like I said..I live with what I got.

My mini review is on the Coffret D'or Pressed Powder. I got it for $305HKD as a set at Facesss in Hong Kong.

The packaging has the signature Coffret D'or rhinestone pattern, except the rhinestone pattern isn't colored. I wish it did because the 3D lighting palettes has pink on it

The set comes with a puff which I think sucks. It doesn't spread the powder very evenly. The puff sits on top of a plastic piece which rests on the sides of the case without touching the powder. It would have been better if Coffret D'or created a separate compartment. I don't use the puff anymore, now I use a flat brush I got from Muji for $65HKD. It's a super soft brush made of natural hairs. The brush actually fits in the case, but I prefer to keep it separate.

The powder is translucent and leaves my skin matte and smooth. I think it does a good job at covering my pores, but oil control wise, it's moderate. I still have to do the usual blotting after a few hours. I would definitely buy this again, but I think there are too many products out there for me to try before I finally finish this one.

Now for some juicy stuff! I got the swap from Cuttibebe about 3 weeks ago. She actually sent it out on Feb 20 and I didn't send mine till I got back from my vacation. Anyway, she finally got my package and now I can finally crack everything open! I kept it under the bed the whole time until she got hers.

We did a blind swap which I thought was quite fun. Some of the biggy pieces that she got me was the P&J Milky Lip Treatment and Bobbi Brown Shimmering Nudes palette! My first BB item!! I loooooove the colors. Although there are 2 matte shadows in the palette, I can still add some shimmer from some of the other e/s in the palette. Ah...such love..great for school! The palette is actually more brown than purple, I don't know why it appears purple o_O

I love the Shu shadow. I think it'll go perfectly with the BB palette.
I used the lip treatment last night and my lips are so soft now! It's not sticky at all and leaves a glossy finish. I don't think there's a smell to it, well I don't notice one.

Yay! More Lush! I just hope I don't get too addicted that I start buying Lush here, it's very $$.
Last night I went out with 2 neighbours in my building. It's funny how I didn't go out with them till now because I didn't get a chance to talk to them. They're also teachers who are hired by the same company I am.

We had this Korean thing and I just had to ask for extra cheese haha, in the end it was too spicy for me so I only had 1 dish.
