[FEATURE] No More Bad Make-Up Days With rom&nd’s Spring Collection

When talking about the Hallyu wave, we cannot leave out the Korean beauty trends that have influenced many parts of Asia. From glass skin to gradient lips, K-beauty has become a worldwide indulgence that many want to partake in. Luckily for us, the Internet has made access to K-beauty brands just an easy click away. Even indie brands have become readily available for us, and that includes the eye-catching rom&nd! 

If you are already an avid K-beauty fan (like us!), you might have seen the aesthetic rom&nd brand appear on your Instagram feed. A brand created in collaboration with celebrity makeup artist and YouTuber Gaeko (Min Saeron), its products were created with versatility in mind so that consumers can embrace their natural look and bring out their uniqueness with makeup.  

Shopee and Virvici, rom&nd’s official distributor in Singapore, have kindly sent over their Glasting Water Tint in #02 Red Drop, #03 Brick River and #06 Purple Shower for us to try. Here’s our review on it:

Let us get straight to the point: we understand the Instagram hype! The packaging is sleek, aesthetic and has weight to it. It does not feel cheap, and the cap is extremely secure so you will have no problem throwing it (recklessly) into your bag. 

The tint itself is extremely comfortable on the lips and non-sticky. As it is a water tint, we expected a sheer pigmentation but it was more opaque than most lip tints we have tried. We also noticed that our lips looked much smoother after application, proving their claims of concealing lip creases true. For those who like flavoured lip products, the Glasting Water Tint has a slight fruity taste that we found quite pleasant.

While not entirely transfer-proof, the tint stains your lips immediately and lasts for a good amount of time. In fact, our only gripe is that it is perhaps too good at its job of tinting the lips. A touch of makeup remover is required for it to be completely wiped away, but this is great if you are on the go with little time to touch up. 

The entire Glasting Water Tint line (in 6 beautiful MLBB colours) is available on Shopee and retails at SGD14.92.

Seeing how much we enjoyed the tints, we are excited to share with you that Virvici has opened up pre-orders for their Spring collection on Shopee. These are the products included in this launch:

Glasting Water Gloss

While velvet lips were a trend for quite a while in Korea, the scene has shifted back to embracing its sparkly companion — gloss! A versatile must-have that can act as a lip topper or worn on its own, glosses are great for making your lips look plump and juicy. 

rom&nd’s rendition is aptly named Glasting Water Gloss. With reflective shimmers that create a glass-like shine, it also hydrates and glides smoothly over lip lines. With just a few swipes of this non-sticky water gloss, your lips will remain soft and protected from any chapping. 

Available in #00 Meteor Track, #01 Sanho Crush and #02 Night Marine for pre-order on Shopee. The pre-order special price is SGD11.90 (U.P. SGD19.90).

rom&nd X Picasso — Better Than Cereal Collection

K-beauty is best known for two things – great quality and even greater packaging. rom&nd’s collaboration with famed beauty tool brand Picasso Collezioni does not disappoint, delivering a contour kit in the form of breakfast cereal. This limited edition set comprises a specially made Picasso contour brush (that took over a year to perfect!) and rom&nd’s best selling Better Than Shape tri-colour contour powder. 

Perfect for both beginners and makeup connoisseurs, this set makes shading your jawline and nose an effortless affair. The ultra-fine contour powder also helps smooth out areas of the face for a seamless blend. 

The Better Than Cereal Collection in Cool and Warm tone is available for pre-order on Shopee.  The pre-order special price is SGD32.90 (U.P. SGD56.90).

Best Lip Tint (Limited Edition Set) 

Want to hop onto the shiny lip trend, but not ready to let go of your staple velvety matte? Not to fret, as rom&nd’s Best Lip Tint collection has got you covered!

Available in Cool and Warm tone colours, each set comes with two mini Juicy Lasting Tint and one mini ZERO Velvet Tint. If this is your first time dabbling into this indie brand, here are the differences between the two tints: 

The Juicy Lasting Tint is the latest cult favourite amongst K-beauty enthusiasts. Known as a  3-in-1 tint, it has the lustrous shine of a lip gloss, the pigmented colour payoff of a lipstick, and the long-wearing power of a lip tint. And if that was not amazing enough, the tint also has a pleasant fruity fragrance. 

The Juicy Lasting Tint is available in #06 Figfig & #12 Cherry Bomb in the Cool Tone Lip Tint Set and #07 Jujube & #13 Eat Dotori in the Warm Tone Lip Tint Set. 

On the other hand, the ZERO Velvet Tint is best described as tint that creates a “bludging” effect (blur + smudging) that leaves your lips looking silky and smooth. A light matte texture with a velvety finish, this is a hassle-free product that will not leave lips with any flaky bits. In fact, it will smoothen and conceal lip creases to give your lips a fuller, softer appearance! 

The ZERO Velvet Tint is available in #07Fizz in the Cool Tone Lip Tint Set and #02Joyful in the Warm Tone Lip Tint Set.

Both the Cool Tone and Warm Tone Limited Edition Sets are available for pre-order on Shopee. The special pre-order price is SGD22.90 (U.P. SGD42.90).

Zero-1 Minute Edition Set (Foundation & Brush)

Your base product can make or break your makeup look for the day. To ensure a flawless-looking face every day, why not try rom&nd’s fuss-free Zero Layer Foundation? A liquid formula with a semi-matte finish, this foundation can help you achieve natural-looking coverage that is still dewy and not patchy.  

But that’s not all! It is also hydrating, long-lasting and contains SPF20+/PA++ for additional coverage against harmful UV rays. The set also comes with a Zero Layer Brush that helps you apply the product evenly. The dense bristles of the brush are optimal for buffing and blending out your foundation.

The Zero-1 Minute Edition Set is available for pre-order on Shopee.  The special pre-order price is SGD32.90 (U.P. SGD59.90).

All of the above-mentioned rom&nd products and more are available on Virvici’s Shopee Mall. The pre-order special ends March 31 2020, so be sure to make your order as soon as possible!
