I came across Koh Gen Do while shopping at Barneys and was reeled in by their effective, but velvety smooth sponges ($18), Pressed Powder Puffs ($14), and Cotton Pads ($12) that have not been chemically treated. The pads are also non-fuzzy so you wont, for example, have fuzzies sticking to your nail polish if you’re removing any excess polish…so annoying! They’ve also got a makeup range (Lauren Santo Domingo wears their concealer everyday), and while I haven’t tried the primers, powders, and foundations they’re best known for I’m head over heels about their Limited Editiotn Maifanshi Lip Gloss Set ($44). Not only are the glosses non-sticky and offered in great colors (light pink, light beige, and a bright red tint), but they are so small you could fit them in your wallet! Seriously even my boyfriend had to admit they were super-cute (think the size of half your index finger!). Of course $44 is a bit much to pay for three tubes this small, but if you’re the kind of gal who is always strategizing because you can’t fit all your essentials into your bag, this may be for you!
thanks for this review! They are excellent in terms of customer service. I had a couple questions regarding their pressed powders and they are sending me a sample to try out to help me decide. That’s rare! I want to try their aqua foundation next.
