I don't know if this has been posted about before, but the It's Skin petit blush in lavender is horrid.  It goes on like a pure white powder on anyone who isn't pale and the formula is chalky.  I tried to use it for color correcting under my eyes since I have dark yellow areas there, but at the end of the day I was left with scaly dry patches on the tops of my cheeks.

So, figuring that the lavender just wasn't my color and the formula sucks, I decided to depot the thing and put in an ELF mineral blush instead (the pan fits perfectly btw).  It was easy to get the lavender pan out, because.... the glue underneath had not even set!  The glue got all over my fingers and was drying quickly.  It felt like the type of superglue that bonds skin (but not plastic to metal apparently).  I quickly washed my hands with oil and luckily it came off.  Then I put the ELF pan into the It's Skin compact but a little of the glue made it's way up the side of the well.  I cleaned it up with some toner, hoping there would be no contamination.  The next day I used the blush and a red dot of irritation appeared exactly where I placed the blush.

TLDR: The It's Skin blush is a crap product and if you depot it hoping to save the case, be careful because the glues are not safe to be putting near your face... seriously, what kind of glue never sets?  It freaked me out.

 
So the products in the OMG2 are so acidic they really burn the eyes if they get too close.  I can't even tell which one it was because I was trying them out together.  The vitamin cleanser definitely burns if it gets anywhere near the eyes though.  And I suspect the bee venom mist was causing me eye irritation too. The only upside is the acidity burned off a milia I've had on my eyelid forever.  I thought those things were impossible to remove, apparently not!

 
I use Secret Key's AC Bee Venom Spray and I never got any irritation by using that.  That is a shame that some of those products are causing those types of problems...

 
Is Secret Key a better/more recognizable brand than Prori?  If so, it's possible they have a better formulation.  

 
Has anyone else noticed how that vitamin sunscreen rips off the vitamin water branding and the dear by emprani is a rip off of philosophy?  I hate when foreign companies do this... it really diminishes the brand imho.

I am not well versed in k-beauty, so I do not know.....I am familiar with Secret Key, that brand has a lot of fans here too.  I am not familiar with Prori...
