SkinStore x Omorovicza Box Review
Our items arrived in this truly lovely peach hatbox-style package with silver foiled feathers.
Under the lid was a helpful note on how to pronounce the brand name. I actually really needed this!
1 of 12
Included is a little booklet that shows all of the products included and also gives some background on the Omorovicza brand which is a collaboration between a US diplomat and a Hungarian with centuries-old thermal bath on his family's property. They ended up getting married (romantic!) and later met up with the head of the Hungarian Laboratory of Dermatology that also boasts the Nobel prize for discovering vitamin C. From these events, Omorovicza was born.
Time to dive in!

Oxygen Booster, 0.5 fl oz - Retail Value $92.00
I wasn't quite sure what to make of this stuff, but a little reading let me know this was a formula designed to instantly energize skin by allowing oxygen molecules to be delivered into the epidermis, which pretty quickly perks skin up. It actually reminded me a lot of a caffeine formula. My face felt cooled down and just barely tingly, in a good way. You can apply this to skin alone or add it to a moisturizer or serum and because it also boasts hyaluronic acid, it provides energy as well as hydration. It felt just barely sticky, but once I added moisturizer on top, that all went away. Nice scent here, too!

Deep Cleansing Mask, 1.7 fl oz – Retail Value $125.00
Normally, a deep cleansing mask sets off alarm bells for my dry skin, but I have had such random breakouts on my jawline from wearing a mask for 4 hours a night in class that I have been way more open to using detoxing clay masks on the lower part of my face. This mask is SO expensive! Like... is my bathroom a spa now? The clay inside is kaolin, which is less aggressive than a bentonite clay-based mask, so I was down to try this on my whole face over the weekend. It has a very natural and pleasant scent and is easy to apply to the face, especially with the little included scoop spoon! I applied a pretty generous amount to my entire face and waited the recommended 15 minutes (you can leave it on for up to 20) then rinsed. While my face felt tight as this dried, it actually felt pretty great after a thorough rinse, and looked bright and even.

Queen of Hungary Mist, 1.7 fl oz - Retail Value $50.00
I am a mist and toner enthusiast, especially in the summer. I use them a lot to cool down and refresh my dry face. Admittedly, I don't spend a ton of money on them since they are generally pretty basic formulas. It is still nice to see a pricey one in a box though! This mist has a pretty cool history (especially if you are a perfume nerd) because it was inspired by the world's first recorded perfume from the 14th century: Queen of Hungary Water. Good enough for a queen is good enough for me! The scent here is a very soft rose and neroli, and while this would never be considered fragrant enough to be considered a perfume, the light floral scent does follow my nose for about an hour after I use it!

Cleansing Foam, 1 oz - Estimated Value $16.40 (Buy 5 oz for $82.00)
I have tried this cleanser before and I really love it. It has a scent that makes me so happy with its floral and green notes. It is the palest blue color and though it is a cream straight out of the tube, it has a foaming action that gets deep into my pores. I am not super picky about cleansers and would never spend this much on one, especially as I tend to double cleanse and go through lots of cleansers throughout the year. But this one still feels special enough to savor, and luckily it takes just a pea-sized amount to get my face feeling great.

Balancing Moisturizer, 30 mL - Estimated Value $87.00 (Buy a full-size 50 mL for $145.00)
Our final item is a daily moisturizer. I have drier skin so at first glance I thought this would be too light for me to really enjoy, especially since it is mentioned as being great for oily and combo skin types. I actually love this as a day cream. It has a super similar scent to the cleanser I adore and a great gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly but leaves behind lovely hydration. Inside is nourishing squalane, apricot kernel oil, plum and apple seed extracts, and loads of other antioxidant and lipid goodies. While this is totally not going to be the day cream I reach for in colder months, I am loving it in the heat.
The Verdict: This limited edition box has a total value of around $370.40 which is a great value for $125 and $0.40 more than promised. That being said, this is a very expensive limited edition box. I get the sticker shock for sure! I think if you are missing a spa experience or already know and love the Omorovicza brand this is still a wonderful purchase full of really nice products anyone would enjoy. I actually plan on buying my mom a box when they officially launch (instead of having flowers delivered) and think this would make a really great splurge present for most anyone. As someone who has been missing her monthly facials, this felt like a really luxurious stand-in, especially since using all of these items together in one DIY "service" is a really wonderful experience that left my face looking great.
