Review: Laduree Les Merveilleuse Beauty Products (replicas)

I hope my blog/this post won't be flagged...... :'(

When you find something really nice, you want to share it with others, right? At least I do :P

I discovered these Les Merveilleuse by Laduree "inspired" products when I was shopping on AliExpress and I was very curious about them. I accidentally stumbled upon the hand mirror, as I was browsing for a new one, and lo and bold, there was Laduree. I read some decent reviews and decide to purchase and see for myself (hand mirror, blush pot, and pot holder).

I won't list the seller's information (to prevent their store from closing), but when you search for the, you just need to type the brand's name, or something like "(vintage) pot holder". It will take some time to find, and although I have not personally seen or touched the authentic products, I can assure you that these replicas are very high quality and well worth your money!

See the following exhibits

 
Each product came in their own carefully packaged box. From first impression, I was already blown away (as stupid as that sounds, yes, the damn box made me pleasantly surprised) because of how good quality the cardboard box was LOL


Mirror with bag
Price:  ~$8 CAD

This mirror was heavy and sturdy. As far as I know... the actual mirror is a gold colour, but this one that I purchased is silver.


Blush Pot Holder
Price: ~$15CAD ~$30 CAD

The famous petal blush pot holder. This is absolutely gorgeous and well made too!
This also comes in a gold/black version.


Brush Holder
Price: ~$12

Again, it is high quality, smooth, and did not fail to deliver :)


Hand Mirror
Price: ~ $10

Elegant as well, right? Look "expensive"? I was looking forward to this hand mirror and was expecting it to be small, but the fact that it felt so light-weight definitely lowered its quality.

I know, I know, some people think buying replicas is tacky. I realize the post before this is also about buying "fake stuff" off of AliExpress... man, I guess that makes me really fake person *sarcasm*--- but no, I'm not trying to be someone I'm not LOL it's called being cheap cost-efficient. I just really like the look of these items is all :)

If you haven't shopped on AliExpress before, I advise you to read my previous post for some tips before you decide to (become a shopaholic like me) ^^"
