Surprise Bag

I absolutely love Wayne Goss products. My only issue is every time I order the surprise bag I get the AMBER palette. I now have 4 AMBER palettes. I wish they could be mixed up a little more.

The surprise bag value is $190+. I received two essential lip pencils in mauve and vintage pink, essential eye kohl pencil in Osbidian, high shine lip gloss in Haciynh, luxury cream lipstick in cashew, weightless powder in translucent, weightless veil blush palette in dessert blossom and luxury eye palette in Amber. I liked the lip colors and that all lip products go together. The color is wearable. I always wanted to try the products out and this is an excellent way to try variety of products. I also received gift item of luxury cream lipstick in Iris. The shipping was fast - within 1 day

The surprise bag included 8 full size items. The box value is $190+. I received two essential lip pencils in mauve and vintage pink, essential eye kohl pencil in Osbidian, high shine lip gloss in Haciynh, luxury cream lipstick in cashew, weightless powder in translucent, weightless veil blush palette in dessert blossom and luxury eye palette in Amber.

My mom just received this surprise today. The delivery was quick and secure. My mother was pleased with the Amber Eye Palette. She got 2 lip liners, 2 eyeliners, and veil blush as well. It's interesting I got the same surprise bag last year, and everything I got suited me. I choose the medium bag last year, but this year it's just a surprise bag, and my mom is fair. Everything that she got will suit her fairness. Especially, the Amber Eye Palette.

I wanted to try Wayne's products. I must say the bronzer is wonderful and the lipstick too. This bag worth the money, but I'm disapointed with the eyeshadow palette. I received Pearl Moonstone which is the only one I didn't want. As it was out of stock on the website I thought there would automatically be another one in the bag. Big mistake

I was curious to try Wayne Goss products, but was not sure what to choose, so I jumped on the Surprise bag opportunity immediately.

Unfortunately it came out to have more misses than hits.

Firstly, I'm very fair but neutral skin tone with dark hair, and got the bag labeled Light. At least what I've got, clearly was meant for a very Warm and very light type with probably blonde hair, as all lip products are either too light even for me (Tulip is a gloss in a very strange milky colour which brings attention to any imperfections and creases, and pencil Light Nude is very light, Vintage Pink pencil is just boring light beige, quite warm and not pink at all) or straight up orange (Magnolia is lipstick in carrot with milk on my neutral fair skin and Cinnamon is just ok, but also kind of orangey red) on me.

Then, I got the new Tourmaline palette, which I was very excited about at first, I think colour story is nice, but I would not say I'm impressed with the quality, and later saw the reviews, that this one is not among the best. Also the package drives me crazy as it is impossible to open with fingers if you don't want to break your nails, so have to use some kind of sharp tool like knife.

I was hoping for a highlight and blush duo, but small bags turned out to have only sculpt & bronze duo, Light Gold in my case, which suited me well, as sculpt is really fair and cold undertone, but it may turn out muddy if you are not careful, and I don't use sculptors a lot, usually go for a CT duo more often and find it more universal and easier to blend. By the way, this Radiance duo comes in the same kind of package as the eye shadow, but it opens just fine, which makes me think the palette lock is probably broken.

Then there were eye pencils, in Precious Opal (good universal brown shade but I have a bunch of those) and strangely, Blue Sapphire - I will make use of it, since I have some blue eye shadow, but it just seemed like a weird combination to the Tourmaline eye palette, which makes me think that whole bag is a bit random.

So in the end, I will only be using eye pencils, somewhat Radiance Boosting Palette, but I don't love it, and somewhat Eye palette, but I have to keep it open, because I really can't put that much pressure on it each time I would like to use it, and I'm afraid it might dry out (the sparkle shade specifically).

Which leads me to conclusion, that I really should have just purchased a blush duo and a lipstick in a more neutral mauvy shade and and eye palette in Pearl which has better reviews than Tourmaline on sale and I would get more suitable products for the same price tag... Well, it was probably worth a try - the process of unpacking seemed interesting at least!

I was really looking forward to trying Wayne Goss products with a cross-section through the surprise bag. Reviews looked great and colours for medium seemed perfect. Sadly, am disappointed. The eye palette in Pearl Moonstone is not something very practical, was hoping for Imperial Topaz and they did not even include a black eye pencil? Pity, was really looking forward.

This is the first time I have bought WG makeup. I have received in my two past Lucky Bags, 2 eye shadow brushes. I really enjoyed the makeup. Besides my nudestix I bought I have been using the Imperial Topaz eye palette. I gave the lipstick/ walnut and one of the lip pencils to my Mom. She is also enjoying the makeup. I am not rally big on bronzing, so i have been using the face palette for my cheeks. I also hae used the rich hazel eyeliner and obsidian eyeliner. I can use the Rich Hazel on my water line. I doesn't burn or give me styes. I cannot however use Obsidian on my waterline, i just use it for my eyeliner. I have not used the lip gloss-hibiscus as of yet. I really went back and forth on the purchase. On YT is seemed like everyone was getting the same items, however I never heard a compliant. So I thought iy would be in my best interest to buy this mystery bag for $105. It was really worth it.

I took a chance to try something from Wayne Goss. The palette isn’t great. The dark shade (03) was hard to blend and kinda stood out with the rest of the shades. The lightest shade (01) wore off before I finished my eye look. The eye kohl’s are nice, but nothing extraordinary. The lip pencils are nice but don’t match what shades they described (one pencil said mauve but wasn’t even remotely mauve but a light pink) the lipstick smelled very chemically. The gloss is like every other gloss. Gloopy and chemically. The shades didn’t suit me. They were horrible orange/pink. I don’t understand why three lip pencils and two eye pencils in a mystery bag?? The bronzer palette is nice but when only two shades of bronzers? Why not a bronzer wnd blush. Really wish I spent my money some where else. This was just boring and bad shades.

Opening this package was better than Christmas Day. Beautiful products and everything works so well with my very light complexion and red hair. So happy with this Surprise Bag.
