Yours truly has been quite lucky on I call it art blog by Erin, the M.U.A. =D
I was kinda attracted by its fancy packaging when I first saw it in Watson's Mid Valley.
However, there were no tester nothing to further explain the products, and thus, I labeled it as "Dodgy" because I dont know whats inside though the packaging were so pretty.
I am the winner for the Beautilicious Retro Kit worth RM 59.90

- a pair of false lashes & Adhesive
- Mascara
- A printed instructions: Ms B's guide to a signature retro look
Eyeshadow
The beige eye shadow works well, and it is indeed a nice shade of beige I would say.
However, the black eye shadow is a total nightmare! The first layer got wiped off when I was applying the second layer, it took me some time to make it even. While applying, the blacks keep falling down to my lower lids and even to my cheeks, resulting in a messy and dirty face =(
False Lashes
Who on earth has a flat eyes to fit such STRAAAAAAIGHT fake lashes?Unfortunately the false lashes provided in the kit is a failure. I gave up after 4 times of trying to bend it a bit so it could fit my eyes... but they were too stubborn =(
And the so-called adhesive provided in the kit was useless. Besides, its only filled with a tiny little bit of glue, it was not easy to apply it on the false lashes at all.
I ended up using my own adhesive.
Honestly, I was a bit annoyed by the [hard] false lashes. I am a regular false lashes user, and I'm not shy to say I am good at it. This one, cannot make it.
Mascara
Average (Actually worst than average as there are quite a number of good mascara in the market these days)... It feels like its almost dried up =S
I personally find it redundant.
And the verdict:
I dont find it useful nor practical. It is more like a toy set that I'd use it with my friends over a slumber party, messing up each other's face. In a nutshell, if you were really to go for the retro look, seek for more options. This make up kit is insufficient. For example, False Lashes can never make it without eyeliner but the kit does not come with an eyeliner.
Nevertheless, the packaging makes this product a convenient and presentable gift to your female friends who are "not so close". Because they will not come back to you and complain about it =p
Oh, I have to add this! Beautilicious is really sweet to set up videos of make up tutorial with their products! Very useful for beginners especially =)
