I know you already heard about BLK Cosmetics before, a makeup line from a famous Celebrated Actress, Ms. Anne Curtis Smith. Honestly, this is one of my favorite local makeup brands. A lot of products were already introduced on BLK Cosmetics especially Lipsticks which has tons of amazing shades to choose from which are perfect for fair, medium to darkest skin tone. Anyway, I am going to introduce to you the latest Collection of BLK Cosmetics that was launched in between of the the holiday season preferably the ber months. The Limited Edition BLK Holiday Beauty Countdown Gift Box.
BLK stated that this is their most festive collection since it was launched in between of the holiday months. I can't remember but I think around October to December it is. Since they launched a lot of products already from time to time It is really pretty depressing knowing I can't have them all since Christmas is approaching and I need to prepare gifts for my family and my godchilds.😂 I was planning yet to collect all the Travel Mini Lipsticks, since they are cute af, unfortunately since Christmas is approaching I need to sacrifice a little to buy and give gifts since these cosmetics were just one step away if ever I can already buy it and I already have budget for them.
Did I mention that these gift box was a Birthday Gift from my boyfriend?🙈😻 Yup, It is! I never expected it too but anyway let's quit the chitchats and lemme start to give a an overview of this gift box first.

All-Day Lip & Cheek Tint in the shade of Sangria. I tried to swatch this Lip & Cheek Tint and to my surprise it stained on my hand when i removed it using a normal wipes. This proves the formula was actually good. I already tried to apply this on my lips and I am so delighted to know that it didn't have that bitter taste unlike to some Lip & Cheek Tints we usually know on the market. The color is actually more like a bright pink.
I also noticed that it isn't drying on my lips. Hope I can also make a wear test Vlog about BLK Lippies also.😊 Photo above is what the Lip & Cheek Tint looks like on a natural lightening and without filter.
Shade+ Sculpt Contour in the shade of Amber, All-Day Brightening+Correcting Concealer in the shade of Buttermilk, and Ultra Glow Liquid Highlighter in the shade of Pink. Tried and tested and you know I loved how natural it looks when applied on my skin on top of my foundation. It doesn't moved my foundation at all since I am really not fond liquid type of contour even for the highlighter but I think BLK Cosmetics made me want it after all. The formula was actually great because I already used them and my makeup still great at the end of the day. The thing is the contour is not also orange-y for the highlighter I am shookt girl! You'll get what you pay for in this highlighter because even though it may not give you the blinding light still it looks amazing!
It looks the same as Colourpop's supershock highlighter gurl! It looks like a wet look highlight also noticed that if you topped it with a highlight powder the it will look like a semi blinding highlight after all. BLK Cosmetics really never fails to step up in their game in the makeup world!✨
While for the concealer, I noticed that it doesn't creases and cakes on my under eye and very easy to blend, same as those two tho, The lightest shade is so perfect and I loved how it doesn't look like more pinkish because not everyone has pink undertones. I also It looks so natural that it can complement on top of your foundation.
All-Day Intense Matte Lipstick in the shade of Jolly. Obviously this shade is more of a nude tone which is perfect for everyday wear. It looks natural on the lips and very moisturizing though if you have chapped lips better use a lip balm first since your lips will look patchy and will leave tiny skin from your lips.
Intense Color Powder Blush in the shade of Flushed. This is actually my first powder blush of BLK Cosmetics since the rest of my blush from BLK are the creamy cheek paint. It's already expected that this blush is also great since I noticed that this blush is not powdery and also when applied first on the cheeks it doesn't look so harsh even though you forcefully put a lot on your cheeks, It's so very easy to blend and also very buildable if you applied only a few.
This is my photo of me just after applied the products Concealer, Contour, Highlighter, Creamy Cheek Paint, Powder Blush and Lipstick. Though it may look a little bit different since the sun is facing towards on my right side.
What I can say about the powder blush is that the color can be intense if you applied it on top of the cheek paint with the same shade since the shade Flushed is a very light pink that tends to not show if used alone. I also noticed it gets very light over time however I liked it that way because the blush is still visible and becoming a natural flushed blush. Crazy right?
Long-Lasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade of Shine. It looks exactly the same shade on what the packaging shows. Though I haven't tried wearing this lipstick yet but I guess you're already familiar with this kind of shade now since a lot of makeup brands has this kind of shade even Maybelline has one too. You know what's the difference? It is not drying on the lips! Given that this is a liquid lipstick which also has a soft matte finish that's why it doesn't look flat.
Soft Matte Mouse in the Shade of Happy. Did I mentioned that all these liquid lipsticks doesn't have a foul smell? Well, worry no more because they don't! That's one of the perks if the makeup brand is Cruelty Free. This Lipstick reminds me of Peripera's Airy Ink Velvet, It is so lightweight therefore very pigmented. It also lasts very long which I really loved the most. BLK's Soft Matte Mouse is very much a like from Airy Ink Velvet when applied on the lips. It is like you have something on your lips but feels you doesn't applied anything or in short very seamless.
Creamy Cheek Paint in the Shade of Candy Cane.
In short, this Cheek Paint is the liquid version the powder blush in the shade of Flushed.
This cheek paint is very light in color and very subtle but also it is very buildable and doesn't make your foundation patchy. Also, BLK stated that you should be careful applying too much of the cheek paint you don't want to look like a clown, do you? Haha because it is very pigmented af! Proven since I am using the cheek paints almost everyday! 💖
I love this cheek paint so much as for my tip use the flushed blush powder because honestly you will look like you are really flushed. The powder blush and the cheek paint are both compatible because they will look great after applied. Tho, if you wanted a more vivid color of blush, you can use the other shades Blk Cosmetics has to offer because I guarantee you that they have available shades for each skin tone so worry less there's choices for everyone 💖
THE VERDICT
I guess this is my final thoughts about Blk Holiday Beauty Countdown Box. These products were absolutely amazing and did a wonderful performance. It is also affordable too! Given the fact that these products are not actually small and offers the standard amount of each makeup. It's a lot rather! WHat I also loved about these products is that It didn't break me out at all and that is something we should consider especially if you also have a sensitiver skin like me.
I am so delighted that this is really a thumbs up for and will rate 5 stars for them for having a good performance.

Love the gift box! 😍 I’ve been hearing a lot of great reviews about Blk Cosmetics.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about this brand because it was a partner merchant in my previous company. Great review from you.
ReplyDeleteWala pa kong BLK products pero gusto ko itry yung mga products nila especially cheek & lip tint nila. Super pigmented daw yon eh
ReplyDeleteParang narinig ko na tong brand na to sa girlfriend ko pero hindi lang talaga ako sure kung ito yung tinutukoy nya. I'll share this to her.
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried BLK, seems good.
ReplyDeleteSuper kpop-ish ang feels ng BLK so most of my friends like it. I tried it once and ang ganda ng color plus long lasting din talaga siya ♥
ReplyDeleteHaven't tried BLK products yet but I'll keep these in mind
ReplyDeleteI love how high-end the packaging of BLK looks madami din ako friends nagsasabi na maganda sya I will definitely try one soon to see if it's really ok
ReplyDeleteNow this is a good review of lipsticks! I've been receiving some for product reviews but I still believe that I'm not an expert in giving detailed lipstick reviews. I'm taking notes from your blog. hihi!
ReplyDeleteSince popular nga ito dahil kay Anne Curtis, it has also good packaging and I've read many good reviews about it kaya naman yung mga kaklase ko eh ito ang ginagamit haha. Will recommend this to my classmates!
ReplyDeleteSo many cool colors and the formula looks outstanding. Very luxurious for a local brand. Will try them up some time when i do drag already. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love lipsticks and I am intrigues with BLK lipstick, well it seems they are also good. Will visit their store at Market Market and grab one (or many more!).
ReplyDeleteI didn't heard about this gift box. I am a huge fan of beauty boxes and I almost always get one if there's any but I didn't know about this. If you don't mind, how much does it cost?
ReplyDeleteI so like ANNe Curtis and I like her even more when she got her own line. I would definitely try one of her cosmetics when I go home.
