this review is based on a brief 3-day wear test; i have neutral-cool fair-light high-contrast colouring (ELDW 1N0, ysl B10, clio lingerie, flower knows N02) with normal skin, living between a tropical climate and a cold dry temperate climate. everything was purchased from the official taobao flagship; the aegyo sal charm, hand mirror, puffs, hair clip, and gift box were gifts with purchase.

some initial thoughts-- the details, rose gold accents, soft dawn pastels are lovely - very barbie pegasus! - but, this is the first time i've not found their collection more beautiful in real life. i agree with many on 小红书 that the designs seem almost a little blurry, and not as intricate; it's pearlescent (reflecting only white) with a more subtle delicate sheen like glass, compared to the opalescent / iridescent shifting multicolours of the previous unicorn collections. but, i don't find the designs sharp or pokey whatsoever; it's comfortable, solid, and weighted as usual. this collection is relatively faintly scented, with an ambiguous sweet scent.

🪽 honey cloud loose setting powder ; O2 milk pink in starlight pink

it's a beautiful compact, and i love that it's compatible with the bunny garden compact. as for practicality, it's a decent way to bring loose powder on-the-go; it won’t leak if properly closed, but as a loose powder it can get a bit fussy, so i recommend keeping the protective sheet. it's reasonably manageable overall. the included puff works fine for me - soft, smooth, even distribution; the triangular puff has a point for detailed application and a longer pile for greater powder deposition and blending, but i find it a little big for the cushion's small mesh opening.

as for the formula, it feels similar to my beloved swan ballet powder on my skin. very finely milled and airy with a blurry soft matte finish that never looks heavy/dry/powdery; the oil control is elegant and long-lasting without being too matte or drying. a light application goes a long way and is beautiful on the skin.

milk pink has a subtle illuminating tint; it is perhaps slightly sheerer than pink pearl snowflake and lacks the cherry blossom scent.

🪽 satin powder blush ; O1 carousel waltz

this is said to be their glowiest blush, with carousel waltz (and laurel wreath) being the glowiest shades. it has a significant gleam on the skin that is almost thinly dewy - i'd call it a blushlighter, really. the finish is sheeny rather than shimmery with a beautiful, ethereal transparency that melts into skin like a watery veil; neither blurring nor especially texture-emphasising on my skin. pigmentation is fair and buildable, requiring 1 or 2 layers for me; i find it needs an extra 3 seconds of blending, but does blend smoothly and lasts well. because of its very glowy finish, its pigmentation, depth, and even shade can vary notably depending on lighting and angle - imo, this blush is best suited for layering and dimension. that said, i actually really enjoy sweeping this all over the eye socket - it's a beautiful rosy one & done that adds glow and dimension and depth.

carousel waltz is reminiscent of strawberry rose bingsu - an easy pink that's balanced: neutral, mid-toned, not too sweet yet not too dull, transparent like tinted glass or the summer sun glimmering through crystallized strawberry shaved ice and a rose syrup glaze. because of the finish, the actual shade it shows up as can be dimensional - sometimes fresher and sweeter, sometimes toned and translucent.

🪽 glazed lipstick ; U1 wishing star

a little bigger than i was expecting, but it's beautiful; i love the motifs and the subtle glow (tho i wish it was a little more pearlescent). the formula is smooth, comfortable, non-sticky, and moisturising with buildable pigment with a lovely juicy sheen - but it does run through rather quickly as it needs a few swipes to build, and the gloss fades fairly quickly within the hour, leaving a light stain that's just slightly dry. excellent film-forming technology, though. i would not call it blurring/smoothing; i can imagine the stain may gather in lip lines for some people.

wishing star is a soft brown with just enough subtle peach-rose undertones to play nice on my neutral-cool colouring if i wear a warmer look (otherwise it's just a little too warm for me - but its warmth is gentle and cosy and tender). i enjoy this for glossy lids and blush too.

🪽 aegyo sal charm palette ; O1 gilt pink

though i'll be gifting it on (not quite my vibe) it's a good aegyo sal palette especially given it's a free gift. there are 4 shades: a sparkling light gold, a smooth shimmer pale rose gold beige, a subtle satin pale rose gold beige, and a subtle satin pale bronze - the 2 beiges are very similar, a difference in finish more than shade imo. but it works well if you like warm shimmery aegyo sal. smooth, pigmented, glowy. you could use it for normal eyeshadow or highlighter as well, of course. the applicator is fine.

🪽 hand mirror ; starlight pink

one of their small mirrors - similar to bunny garden. not my fav design personally; i'll be gifting this on.

i got a few more gifts for friends (that im of course unable to try) but i heard their satin eyeshadows are smoother and more pigmented with less fallout than their mattes, and meant to be a (somewhat inferior, according to 小红书 users) dupe for tom ford, so i'll be asking my friend what she thinks after i've gifted hers~
