Latest hauls^^ [3] Vidi Vici-3

Haul #3 from Vidi Vici Korea (ebay):

Since I have hauled a lot from Vidi Vici HK, I didn't have much urge to haul more. But I have been interested in their lunchbox duo (double case for their single eyeshadows) after seeing its appearances in one of BeautyQQ's videos. After a round of asking around, it seems like Vidi Vici has stopped producing this lunchbox duo case!! Finally I stumbled upon Vidi Vici Korea and they informed me that they only have 2-3 of this duo case left!

So I placed my order and it arrived in a Vidi Vici logo box!




With proper packaging! Tons of bubble wrap!



My loots:



I have ordered these 2 eyeshadows. It's quite hard to figure what color to order because there isn't much online swatches for Vidi Vici's eyeshadows.

Eye Shadow Pearly Texture 2.5g in 223 Dark Chocolate.
Provides a tonal effect from color that is barely there to color with intense, bright drama. 
Provides even color distribution and is easy to blend.
Offered in a multitude of stunning colors and shades.



Eye Shadow Shimmer Cream Texture 2g in 02 Glam Bisque
Gives your eyes a chic and luxurious look through the infusion of fine shimmer and sparkle.
Has a creamy texture even though it's a powder.
Its soft-blended formula goes onto your skin softly, leaving it looking velvety smooth.

Unfortunately, until today 02 Glam Bisque is still back ordered. Vidi Vici contacted me that it will take a few more weeks for it to complete manufacturing in Japan. I will share again when I receive it in the mail.

Now on to the adorable lunchbox duo case!



This case is made of metal so it feels very substantial and expensive. But sadly it is also a fingerprint magnetic. It also comes with a small velvety pouch.... making it feels glam and expensive too!

The front side of it allows you to put 2 single eyeshadows (or browshadow, or lip gloss.... mix and match as you like, as the back of the lunch box duo has instructed....)

And it each lid has its own mirror in it.




And on the back side, you can insert q-tips, small sponge applicators, or even pills as BeautyQQ has suggested, quite versatile! And it also has a mirror on the lid for quick checks on your makeup on the go!



The next item I am interested in trying is their foundation. I have tried the sample foundation that came with Haul #1 and I like how lightweight and long lasting their foundation is. I was also informed that they are launching a new Brilliant BB cream of SPF 35++ in February from Vidi Vici Korea. I may place an order after I finish using up all my liquid foundation on hand :) (still a long way to go! I need to finish one before hauling another one!!)

Latest hauls^^ [3] Vidi Vici-2

Haul #2 from Vidi Vici HK:

The Dancing Butterfly palette. This was 2011S/S limited edition palette. Initially I wanted to get the 2010A/W Beloved palette because I saw how nice the colors were from BeautyQQ's videos. But they were all sold out by now and the DancingButterfly palette is a good similar dupe to the colors.




The bronze color metallic casing is very similar to Lunasol's signature eyeshadow quads. It even has the production date printed at the back of the palette:



The eyeshadow quad comes in:
Top-left: shimmery/glittery yellowish gold
Top-right: a cool toned matte pastel pink
Bottom-left: pearly salmon pink
Bottom-right: shimmery deep bronze

Under sunlight

Under shade


Vidi Vici's eyeshadow is surprisingly smooth and is well pigmented. Very similar to SUQQU high quality eyeshadows! Just with one swipe on my fingers, this is what I get:



Swatches at the back of my hand:

Under sunlight
Under shade

The colors have good pigment, but just doesn't show well on my NC-25 skin tone.... ahhh only if I have paler skin! But unlike Lunasol, Vidi Vici's eyeshadows are not really glitterbombs and I think they are very work appropriate for those who look for almost matte with a subtle shimmer daytime look.

Latest hauls^^ [3] Vidi Vici-1

I have been getting interested in Vidi Vici because of the famous youtuber BeautyQQ (Queenie Chan).

So over the past 3 months, I have been hauling Vidi Vici from Hong Kong and Korea.

Vidi Vici is a upscale Korean makeup brand and used to be exclusively sold in Korea. And they ahve a few counters in high end department stores in Hong Kong. 

Lately Vidi Vici Korea has launched their sales on ebay so you can get their products directly from them. And they provide free shipping worldwide! (Vidi Vici HK also provide free world-wide shipping too and accept paypal as form of payment, and they seem to provide better response in English!)

So, Haul #1 from Vidi Vici HK:

Initially I was interested in getting the Party Styler '11 set from them that comes with the limited edition Party Styler, the Angel Soft loose powder, 2 deluxe sample(I picked 2 foundation shades they offer) and an original pouch:



Anyways... as I have been always curious about Vidi Vici, I ordered more than I should have... and here's the package from Hong Kong:



Everything is nicely packaged inside the official Vidi Vici box, and of course, with the original pouch that came with the set!



Nicely embossed Vidi Vici box. I now keep all of my Vidi Vici items in it.



They also sent me a catalogue along with my order. It's much easier to read through this catalogue as their online version's resolution is really low...



Their signature small case and party styler stacker. I guess packaging does play a great part in influencing what I want to buy??? Haha!



My loots:



Party Styler '11. Comes with 2 eyeshadows, 1 highlighter (cream form), 1 cream blush, and 1 lipgloss. I have yet to use it. It's too pretty to be used!





Angel Soft Loose Powder. I suppose this will go on perfect with their lightweight anti-aging foundation?





Looking glam? This is their signature stacker Small Face Case. Apparently they do not carry this anymore, the current version only comes with a lighter face contour powder. I feel this older version is more appealing as I can use the darker contour powder as eyeliner or brow powder.... it's more versatile this way!




Made in Italy! What a nice surprise!


I also get a lipstain. I have used it and I like it a lot because it is non-drying. And fyi this is made in Germany!



Stayed tuned for my Vidi Vici Haul #2!!!
