Memebox Jewel Tones

Morning!

The day i received my Beauty 911 box, i also received a box i had preordered, the Colorbox #5 Jewel Tones.  Memebox released 3 boxes at the same time, Jewel Tones, Pastels and Brights, they're all makeup boxes, and supposedly fit the theme (although i'll let you make up your mind about this one, i was expecting something different).


1.Color World Multi Lovely Finger Mousse Lip-$20
This is a what i would call a liquid lipstick, and i would compare it to the Klara Kiss Proof Lips (right down to texture and the fact that neither are budge proof).  This is a gorgeous colour, and feels lovely on, but it slips and slides all over the place.  A little goes a long way, but be careful when wearing it.

2.Color World Star Powder-$14
Star powders are a shimmer powder, supposedly as an all over powder (although i don't know how you would use it all over without looking like a Cullen knockoff).  It is beautifully milled, feels lovely on, blends nicely, and i think would make a lovely eyeshadow.  No sifter, though, making it hard to use.

3. Color World Kiss The Beads Lip Gloss-$18
What is with the names of some Korean products?  This is a nice, light lipgloss, non sticky and very moisturising.  It gives a nice wash of colour, but nothing too serious.

4. Color World Jewelish Stick Shadow-$13
This is a pretty silver stick eyeshadow, goes on smoothly and is easy to use.
Lip Mousse, Star Powder, Lip Gloss, Shadow Stick
As you can see, all 4 products were from the same brand (each of these colour boxes were the same, the entire box was made up of one brand), and whilst they're lovely products i don't think they match the theme of the box.  The card goes on about wine reds, purples, emeralds etc, not 1 product matches that description, so i found the box slightly disappointing.  However i'll use it all, so it isn't a complete failure.

Box is worth $65 USD, i paid $17 USD all up (including postage).
