These were such a disappointment! I've been meaning to try the Majolica line for ages and today when I popped into Guardian I noticed they also had Kate by Kanebo BB. I have been insisting I wouldn't try the BB thing - I keep reading about it everywhere, but I had it down as being not for me. But I love Kanebo and I'm a sucker for some clean looking packaging so I decided to give it a go.
The Eyes Reset Gel is a eye make-up remover gel, that feels really heavy on silicone. The texture is pleasant enough and it worked well enough, but it stung like hell and made my eyes go all cloudy - it literally blinded me and then took ages to wash out. Bummer.
The BB is better, in that it doesn't hurt (!), but it did nothing for me at all. I thought the idea of BB was a peachy glow to the skin, less than foundation but a complexion enhancer. This was way too white, even for my ghostly visage, and did nothing for me at all. It has got me thinking about peachy complexion enhancers though, which I have a vague memory of buying many moons ago. I seem to remember sending off to some French brand by mail order and buying huge amounts of products just to get some cult product peachy cream that was supposed to make me *glow*, and instead made me go "oh...".
I had really high hopes for both these brands. I guess I'm not their target customer - I'm not Asian and I'm over 30 - but I don't really see these working on anyone. I have heard good things about the Majolica mascara so maybe that's my next cheap thrill...
