Hello everyone! :)
Today I will be sharing with you my new purchase from Forencos! It's a special gift set.
The Unforgetable Gift Set comes with a Rouge Lipstick and a Nail Lacquer. Read on to find out more!
Forencos is rather an unfamiliar brand to me. When I saw this gift set was selling at Metrojaya (departmental store) at a huge markdown price, I don't wanna miss my chance.
Originally it was priced at RM83.90 per set, but now they are letting it go at RM22. Definitely there's reason behind the huge price markdown - these are short expiry products. Honestly, I'm not surprised.
I put the question to the counter staff and she went speechless, without telling me the fact that these products are expiring soon. Perhaps they were instructed not to disclose this information, but as a customer, I do appreciate they being honest and transparent. (do you feel the same?)
Is it a value buy? I would say YES. Nail lacquer is a total YAS. The only thing I didn't like about the lipstick is that it cannot last / stay for long. Formula and pigmentation wise are okay.
Although both items are less than 3 months from best before date, but the dates are served as a reference. It doesn't mean the product has turned bad after that date; it means the product is no longer as good as when it was manufactured. You can still use it, but WITH AWARENESS.
For instance, nail lacquer doesn't really comply to best before date. As long as the nail lacquer hasn't dry out, you can always reach out to it.
For lipstick (or any lip product), you need to pay extra attention, since the product is close to your mouth when applied. Make sure its condition on each application.
Not that I'm encouraging you to go for short expiry products - that's not the point!
The above DOESN'T apply to all products.
If you are unsure and don't want to risk, then don't. :)

Unforgettable Nail Lacquer RED | 8ml
I was a big fan of nail lacquer during high school. My classmates can vouch for me. The only thing I was rebellious during schooling time was to sneakingly wear painted nails to school (HAHAHA).
However, this interest slowly dies down since it requires frequent maintenance, unless you do gel manicure. I don't have the machine at home and not planning to getting one anytime soon.
When I saw this luscious red nail color, it was like a smell on me! Some might think red is "old", but I notice it really can brighten up skin complexion. :)
Almost instantly, my hand looks posh, isn't it? (missing a diamond ring, maybe? :p)
The formula is smooth and it just glides on the nail effortlessly. Surprisingly out of my expectation. I'm impressed!
As you can see above, the BEST BEFORE date printed on the bottom says "until 20190609". That's 3 months from now.
Unforgettable Mellifluous Glossy Rouge E500 SILVER LINING ORANGE | 4.5g
Forencos' color selection and packaging is no doubt classy, I have to put it out there. Love the cool tone grey-green with white font.
There is a magnet setting on both ends to ensure the cap is tightly close.
As stated on the product description, we can know it is a watery-glow lipstick.
Three (3) product highlights as below:-
- Watery melting system;
- Lip light sliding touch; and
- Lip sculpting shine effect.
SILVER LINING ORANGE is undoubtedly a bright orange.
If you think its red, try compare with my nail color beside. It's definitely ORANGE.
The formula is smooth on surface and SUPER PIGMENTED.
As you can see below, there is glow / shine traces. With moisturizing properties, the formula automatically melts and forms a coat layer on top of the surface - not drying on lips.
On the other side, the formula hardly penetrate or stick on the surface. Not only it's transferable, but also super easy to remove. :')
The BEST BEFORE date is printed on the bottom as well. Here it reads "until 20190530". Hardly 3 months from now.
