What is Gold Sparkling Box?


Gold Sparkling Box is one of the themed box for Holiday Edition. There are another 2 boxes for Holiday Edition which are Black Sparkling Box and Red Sparkling Box. The name of the box is obviously showing the theme/colour of the box. So my gold box consists of 6 full sized products + sample and basically all are in gold colour or related to gold! What's more surprising is this box came in with makeup products and also skincare products 😍

It is time to pamper myself!

Products that feature in this box:-


1. Chica-Y-Chico - One Shot Eye Palette (Day Drink & Wine Burgundy)

2. Leaguertox - Gold Foil Seethrough Illumination Mask (1 Sheet)
3. Petitfee - Gold & EGF Eye Spot Patch
4. Onsaemeein - Lumiere Gold Daily Cream (50 ml)
5. Nakeup Face - C-Cup Lip Tox-Tick (#03 Stealer)
6. Missha - Gold Snow Line Sample Kit

Chica-Y-Chico

One Shot Eye Palette (Day Drink & Wine Burgundy)

Before Althea launch this beauty box, Chica-Y-Chico eye palette is already on sale on Althea's website! At that moment I was thinking I need to grab one because all the colours are so stunning! Each of this one shot palette consists of 6 colours mixing with 3 types of eyes shadow which are matte, shimmer and glitter. All in one, what a great deal!




Day Drink
Day Drink gave me a very strong gold brown feel. This palette is suitable for daily makeup look.






Wine Burgundy
Wine Burgundy just sounds the same as the name, the colours are more to girlish feel but hidden a little burgundy point.



 For me this 2 palettes are very convenient because there are 6 colours and also the size is just right to put in bag to bring for an occasion. The texture is smooth and a little powdery. The colours are so pigmented especially the shimmer and glitter shadows. Since the point colours are so bright and pigmented, it's easy to apply and create your favourite look!

(UPDATED!) Leaguertox 

Gold Foil Seethrough Illumination Mask



Leaguertox Gold Foil Mask is focusing more to dry, crumbly skin and wrinkles because it contains argireline which help in wrinkle improvement and lifting and also hyaluronic acid which supply moisture in skin and improve blood circulation. 







Step 1 - Water Light Spot

For step 1, it came with 4 pcs of spot patches. Spot patches can be attach on apple zone, C zone and smile line to keep skin clean and reduce wrinkles. You will need to apply your toner before putting this patches. But for me, I sprayed my mist instead of using toner.





Step 2 - Gold Foil Seethrough Illumination Mask

For step 2, the mask is a little different from normal mask because it came with thermal reflection sheet which able to deliver active ingredients to the skin. I like how the serum covered the whole mask and the thickness of the serum is just like night cream that I apply every night. This mask is very moisturizing and have a mild scent. This mask definitely worth the money! 

UPDATED! "I'm sorry for this. I haven't try on this mask yet because I want to find a right time to try it so I can't really give a review. I will update once I try on it ^^"

Petitfee

Gold & EGF Eye Spot Patch

This product is a hydrogel-type eye mask which rich in gold and EGF that helps to rejuvenate skin, brighten under eyes and cell renewal.






My first impression on this product is the mask is very moisturizing. Every pieces of the mask are covered with serum and after putting on, I can feel the cooling effect right away! The mask have a mild fragrance smell where will make you feel good. After a tiring day, just put them on and relax. What a good idea 💜

 Onsaemeein

Lumiere Gold Daily Cream

This product contains 24K pure gold and propolis extracts for brightening and soothen the skin. Besides gold and propolis extract, it also contains shea butter which can moisturize dry skin.








This product came in just the right time because my night cream ran out so I use this for replacement.
The cream is slighty lighter than my previous one, absorp faster and it's not sticky. What is more shocking is that you can see gold flakes on the cream!! This cream have a very pleasant scent as well. The next morning, my face will feel soft and smooth. If you have dry skin, you can have a try on this product!

Nakeup Face

C-Cup Lip Tox-Tick (#03 Stealer)

The packaging of this product just grabbed all my attention!! The glittery case and the orange coral shade lipstick 😍 The colour is really nice and pigmented. This isn't an ordinary lipstick because it has 5 functions in 1 ; lip balm, lipstick, lip plumper, lip tint and lip treatment. The special part of this lipstick is that after apply, you will have a little mint feel on your lips!

Missha

Gold Snow Line Sample Kit


From left: Toner, Emulsion, Essence, Cream


1. Gold Snow Toner - Not too watery and fast absorption + refreshing

2. Gold Snow Emulsion - Kind of like watery lotion. Light and fast absorption.

3. Gold Snow Essence - Contains gold flakes. The texture is thicker than emulsion - more to lotion type

4. Gold Snow Cream - Contains gold flakes as well, the texture is thicker and creamy

The Missha Gold Snow toner and emulsion are really moisturizing and fast absorption. Emulsion, essence and cream have stronger ginseng smell compare to the toner. I'm shocked at first but I really love the smell! 

Overall, this box is worth every penny!! I heard the box is running out of stock but don't worry guys, I have link all the products' for easy view and purchase! So don't forget to check them out 😊 Thank you Althea for sending over this box for review and sorry for the late feedback 💝
