This haul came in last weekend and was ordered around on the first week of April! I was afraid the latest Girlcult collection would be unavailable to us due to tariffs but glad I was able to get my hands on them (though ofc they are pretty marked up, but not unreasonably so). Listed items below but bear with me as they don't have official translations so I made an attempt with my childhood Chinese school skills & online translators.
Compendium of Materia Medica
- Eyeshadow Palette – #60 Cordyceps
- Glazed Lipstick – L08 Common Jasmine Orange (no real translation for this – but Jay Chou has a song of the same name so I "stole" his translation)
- Contour Blush Palette – 02 Peach Blossom Face
Quick Impressions
- Eyeshadow palette – the glitters are gorgeous and the shade of green when applied was exactly what I was hoping for (and what caught me eye about this collection in the first place!
- Glazed Lipstick – not as pigmented as the photos, very sheer… I have to layer a matte color underneath to achieve something similar to the promo photos, a little disappointing since I have an older matte lip mud from them that's beautifully pigmented
- Contour Blush Palette – interesting and buildable, the highlighters are interesting (a light peach one and a clear "tanghulu" one), may not be suitable for oily skin as the "clear" highlighter that is supposed to give you a glow might make you look oily at the end of the day if you have oily skin
Let me know if you guys want swatches!
