I purchased the prize with my own money, and the giveaway isn't affiliated with anyone else. 

Hi guys,

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog post! 

I wanted to post about the KAB Cosmetics Mystery Box, as I was pretty intrigued about what it contains as it’s $150 but everything retails for $254! I couldn’t find any reviews or any posts about what the box contains, and the experiences of others, so I thought I’d pick it up and it may help some of you thinking the same.

I’ve had both good and bad products from KAB Cosmetics, and I’ve tried out the majority of their products they stock on the website - I always go for the bundles they add on their site where you have a few different products to try which is why I’ve tried so many! 

The products are quite up there in price, so I recommend you always use a coupon code as then you can get more for your money and it’s not as bad if something doesn’t work out well. 

There were two products I was hoping to get in this mystery his - lip oils and the contour palette because they’re some of my favourite products from this brand. 

I’ll let you know what I received, and in my video I let you know if I think it was worth the money I purchased it for - here’s a heads up, I used a 30% off coupon code so didn’t pay the full price 😉

If you’ve never tried anything from KAB Cosmetics, or if you don’t know about them, they’re a cosmetics company created by Kim Zolciak Biermann, and her daughters Brielle and Ariana. You can purchase some products from Walmart, although apparently they’re slightly different to what’s on the website as the prices are a little cheaper. 

Anyway, let’s get on with the details about the box!

If you want to purchase anything from KAB Cosmetics, I have a coupon below the review for 20% off your entire order!

About the Mystery Box 

The box has a retail value of $254, and you can purchase for $150 from their website, so you save $100 on the purchase. They mentioned on their Instagram that every box contains their Bombshell Beauty Oil, and the Undress Me lip kit. Already there, you have a $79 value. The box also contains at least 9 full sized products. I don’t know if every box contains the same products, or if everyone receives just those two items the same. 

When I’d received the box, it was just a normal cardboard packing box with the items in there. There was no KAB box like it shows on the website, so that was a bit of a disappointment. But hey ho, all the products were full to the top and had good packaging coming all the way from the US to the UK. 

Shipping was incredibly quick! I’d received in a few days after I’d purchased it, which is crazy considering it’s coming thousands of miles, and was quicker than some UK post I’ve waited for! 

The items 

The first two items I received were the Bombshell Beauty Oil, and the Undress Me lip kit.

Both products I feel I’ll be using (I was excited about the beauty oil and I’d researched the ingredients and they look good for oily acne prone skin which I have!). The lipkit looks like a nice shade that I’d wear, so no shockers there! 

Chanel have recently released their new skincare, makeup and fragrance line - No 1 De Chanel. 

This line is sustainable with their packaging and there being no leaflets - they have QR Codes on the boxes which has all information about the product you’ve purchased. They also contain the Red Camellia Flower with 5 anti-ageing benefits and 94% naturally derived ingredients. This is Chanel’s most natural product they’ve created - and it took them 10 years to create!

The foundation comes in 20 shades - which is less than a lot of their other foundations. Luckily, I was able to get my usual shade BD31. 

I did a first impression video on my YouTube channel above, where you can see me apply with both a brush and a sponge, I show you how it builds up and a 10 hour wear test! Subscribe to my YouTube channel here! 

Now onto the review.

The bottle contains the standard 30ml / 1 fl oz, and the packaging is frosted glass with a plastic lid with the Chanel logo. 

The packaging felt very lightweight compared to others like the Les Beiges foundation where the glass packaging is pretty heavy. 

I was excited to test this out as it says that it’s suitable for sensitive skin - I have very sensitive acne prone skin so I always have to be careful about which products I use on my face. I was also a little dubious as it says that it’s suitable for all skin types - I have very oily skin so usually a product which can work for dry skin will not also work for me and my oils. 

I bought my usual shade - BD31 and the shade is exactly the same as my others in this shade. 

There’s not much of a scent to the foundation which I like, and it goes on very light. 

With one layer I get a sheer-light coverage, and I can build it up to light-medium. If you’re after a full coverage foundation, this is not for you. 

This won’t cover acne or blemishes, and it won’t fully cover redness but evens the redness out a little. If you want to cover those blemishes, you’ll need use a concealer as well. 

I use 2 layers of the foundation with a sponge, and it’s not the best at building up - you have to be very quick before it dries. 

2 layers of the foundation. 

But I do like the finish I get with this. It’s a little luminous, but also a little matte so looks quite natural - if you’re after a natural look then the Les Beiges foundation would be the one to go for. 

It lasts pretty well with my oily skin for 8 hours, and I don’t really need to blot, however it does come off a little on my forehead and on the side of my face so it’s not super long lasting. So, if I want it to look nice around this time then I just build up a little bit on these areas. 

The rest of my makeup glides on very easily and I actually prefer the way it looks with the extra products added as you can’t see the blotches. 

This did cling to my dry patches, so probably wouldn’t suit very dry skin.

I did have a little bit of itchiness under my nostril and on the side on my face when using this, but it’s only happened twice out of the past month I’ve been wearing it.

Overall, I like this foundation but I’m not in love with it. I prefer my Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet and Les Beiges foundations more than this. 

It’s probably because I’m quite picky with my foundations as they have to not break me out, control my oils and look quite natural on the skin. 

I wouldn’t repurchase it but if you’re on the fence, I’d say try it out! 

I’d give this 3/5 stars. It’s not the best foundation, but it’s not the worst I’ve tried. Out of the ones I’ve tested from Chanel, this is the lowest ranking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
