2014 K-beauty wrap-up no.1 came with six full size items.

RiRe Lip Manicure 10ml $18 (randomly selected from 01 Warm Peach, 02 Virgin Orange, 03 Deep Plum, 04 Rich Raspberry, 05 Muse Red, 07 Chiffon Coral and 07 Pink Pink)

Product description
What exactly is a Lip Manicure you might ask? RiRe´s sensational lip series - Lip Manicure - refers to 7 different vivid lip colors that boost the level of color radiance and long-lasting finish of nail manicures. Plus, the´re totally waterproof and do not wear off when you eat, drink or talk.

How to use
Thinly apply the Lip Manicure over tour lips as you would with an actual nail polish. Do not touch or close your mouth for a minute until it completely dries.

My thoughts
I got this in rich raspberry, its a bright matte color so you can imaging it´s hard to pull of. I had a nightmare trying to apply this evenly, I think it´s the handle and applicator which makes it hard. For this to look nice you need a very precise application which I didn´t manage. I though I would use a lip gloss in a similar color to help clean it up, now wow that was a mistake. It was a disaster and it was waring off all over the place. I might try to use it again later, but for now I´m staying clear.





Secret Nature From Jeju Cream 50ml $31

Product description
Made from organic broccoli, aloe vera leaf, asparagus and carrot extracts all cultivated pesticide-free in the Jeju Island, Secret Nature´s From Jeju Cream is extremely gentle to the skin and works to deeply nourish and create a protective moisture layer over your skin to lock in the moisture, for a more radiant and glowing complexion.

My thoughts
I was expecting a lot of this box and it didn´t really deliver. I don´t use mists on my body or clothing, I got the green one, but I´m not sure what it´s supposed to smell like. It´s very fresh so I might use it as a room mist or possibly on my clothing during spring and summer when you shouldn´t use perfume. 
I was happy to get the lip tattoo to try, but I didn´t have much luck with it.
I was also happy to get the cream, which is the only product I´m looking forward to trying.
I can´t imaging a roll on product could be very hygienic to use on acne. I might use apply it to the back of my hand and then to my face, but honestly it´s a bit to much work.
I know Korean is very concerned about sun protection, but I think it´s a bit boring to add to this kind of box. I also think it´s a bit gimicky product.
I do like the perfume, I got blackberry. It´s quite strong and I would say its an adult scent, but I can´t really describe it. I´m not a fan of rollon perfumes, it´s so much gunk that ends up in them. It´s practical for the purse though.
When you say wrap up I expect there to be cool new fun great products in the box, this one just lacked all of that for me. If it came under another name I would probably be more happy with it. I wish they would have put some other products in this box.
