2018 beautylish lucky bag!

hi guys! today i bring you my 2018 beautylish lucky bag, which arrived about mid-January. i was pretty surprised by this year's selection--in a good way, but also slightly disappointed in that i got 1 repeat product (from two years ago) that a lucky friend will be getting. otherwise i'm happy with the purchase. ~Lin-chan ^.~

prism palette, swatched on bare skin
lucid, eden, unity, sphinx, osiris, sphere, obsidian
dimension, parallel, pyramid, throne, saturn, eternal, lure

skinny dip, chrysanthemum

1. anastasia beverly hills prism palette -- this is such a fun looking palette! i definitely wouldn't have picked this up on my own because there's too many 'crazy' colors in it. i did want to give it a swatch for myself, but i'm going to pass this along. based on my swatching alone, all the really pretty (in the pan) shimmery shades were super glittery and the fall out... the mattes were pretty nice too, except for the black and yellow. those weren't that good. if they come out with singles, i'd probably get throne, eternal, and lure. otherwise, i'm not totally sure if i like the color selection in here. we've got two very similar glitters (osiris and dimension), two very similar mattes (eden and saturn), a random bright ass yellow, and a black that's not that pigmented but i guess could be used for darkening..? i do think that the shade names are pretty fitting with the whole pyramid theme.
2. wayne goss brow brush set -- this is a repeat for me.
3. oribe dry texturizing spray -- so this is like an alternative to dry shampoo? so the bottle makes it seem. i'll give it a try. spraying a little into the top, i didn't see any color and it stayed wet for quite a bit. the scent wasn't too bad either.
4. the ordinary. caffeine solution -- this is like a depuffing eye gel or something? seems interesting. i used this once or twice so far and don't have an opinion yet.
5. jouer powder highlighter in skinny dip -- this is such a pretty powder! i can't wait to try it on my face!
6. jeffree star velour liquid lipstick in chrysanthemum -- i can't decide how i feel about this shade. in different lights, it looks fine, in others, it's the brightest peach ever. i'm not sure if i didn't use enough or what, but it seems slightly patchy. i'm also not sure if the shimmer in it gives the illusion of patchiness or not. once it dries down, the shimmer's not as noticeable. as expected with using the same lab as someone else, the formula's really nice and long wearing. i have been wanting to try this brand for ages now, but i just haven't yet because i haven't seen enough swatches on people with similar skintones as myself -- i probably will if i look harder... but i have too many lippies to not go through right now.
7. sulwhasoo first care activation mask -- i didn't realize beautylish had sheet masks online! i can't wait to try this!

approximate product value: ~$180
