I first heard of Figs and Rouge in my ipsy glam bag. The hand cream was watery and needed to be frequently reapplied but I fell in love with the colorful tube packaging and the fruity rose scent. I ordered several other products form their beauty line on Amazon. Coco Rose Lip Tint is also very waxy and chappy. The blunt tip with screw lid makes it difficult to apply on lips. I much prefer the Mango Mandarin Lip Butter 10 ml by Figs & Rouge with a slanted tip and smoother contents. I LOVE the vintage tin packaging on the Lemon Berry Tinted Balm, but the scent is almost non existent. My young daughter was disappointed in it. The balm goes on smoothly and is easy to apply with your finger, but don’t expect much smell or color.

Overall, the packaging won me over and I am likely to buy more from the Figs and Rouge line.

“Spirited, buoyant and blissful, CLEAN Air evokes the expansive airiness of a hot air balloon ride over the Himalayas.”—Ruhi Patel, Creator of CLEAN

CLEAN Skin captures the delicate scent of bare skin. Hints of dewy flower petals wrap around notes of pure creaminess and warm musk to evoke the simple scent of touchable skin.

CLEAN Rain is an aquatic floral fragrance, it intertwines hints of bright daffodil, dewy melon, water lilies, daisies, and a sheer musk.

I ordered this kit online from Sephora for Christmas looking for a light scent. I love roller ball perfumes and smaller sizes that can easily fit into a purse. The only problem was, once I got the kit I didn’t like them. They smell artificial and the scents were too heavy, like overpowering laundry detergent and fabric softener.

I would definitely recommend going into the store and trying these out before jumping into the sample kit. At $17.00 it was a bit pricey to not like even one of the bottles. 2_5
