Too Cool For School Haul and Veiled Highlighter Review

The user shared a detailed review of a recent purchase from "Too Cool For School," highlighting an impressive amount of free gifts received with only five ordered items. The freebies included a palette, various brushes, pencils, tints, and a sharpener. However, it was noted that many of the lip and eye pencils seemed to be discontinued stock—like the Wonderland Collection—given their long shelf life and absence from the official website.

Regarding the main product, the Veiled Highlighter (20,000 KRW), the review was largely critical. While the "oil-baked" method aims for a sheer, clear glow without cakiness, the user found the baked formula lacked the necessary "white base" to effectively create volume on the face. The shimmer felt too transparent, and the glitter was too subtle compared to other high-performing products on the market.

I expected the pigmentation to be intense, but it is actually very subtle.

Since it’s a jelly type, the adherence is decent. However, the pearlescent finish is quite prominent, so it might emphasize pores.

I purchased this on a 1+1 deal, but even though I got it at a discount, the product itself was disappointing. Jill Stuart's powder-type blushes are great—they look beautiful and the colors are lovely. But with this one, even the packaging looks a bit off, like the product was pressed too far to the left, and the color just disappears once applied.

While being a jelly type is a strength, that feels like the only strong point it has. Personally, I’d rather spend this money on a MAC Glow Play (jelly) Blush; they have a wider color range and much better color payoff. For a roadshop alternative, I’d go with the Bbia Ready To Wear Downy Cheek; the colors are more trendy, and it’s more convenient to use since it comes with a built-in puff.

NMIXX's "Heavy Serenade" is the title track of their fifth mini-album, Heavy Serenade, released on May 11, 2026. This song has garnered significant attention for its harmonious blend of dreamy synth sounds, intense band vibes, and NMIXX's signature experimental Mixx Pop style. Characterized by a progression that starts calmly and builds into an emotional explosion toward the end, it has been praised for the members' rich vocal harmonies that deepen the overall atmosphere. Many noted that while it carries forward the emotional vibe of their previous work, Blue Valentine, it showcases a more grand and dramatic color, leading fans to hail it as "NMIXX's new representative emotional track."

The lyrics were written solely by singer-songwriter HANRORO. The composition involved ESUM, Ayushy (THE HUB), Awrii (THE HUB), Maribelle Anes, Josefin Glenmark, SEORA, and SSo, with arrangement handled by ESUM. With various global producers involved, the track features a sophisticated sound and an impressive emotional melody, creating a strong sense of immersion through its escalating progression and lush choruses. Critics have also highlighted how the acapella-style vocal arrangements and delicate instrumental shifts accentuate NMIXX's outstanding vocal prowess.

The lyrics capture the process of blooming and growing through one another amidst feelings of anxiety and instability. The expression "We’re blooming" symbolizes the desire to flower again despite wounds and loneliness, conveying the message of completing oneself through love and hope. Poetic metaphors involving the universe, the Milky Way, flowers, and melodies appear repeatedly, adding a dreamy and lyrical mood to the track. Rather than being a simple love song, it carries a message of being each other's comfort and light, leaving a deep lingering impression through the combination of honest lyrics and grand sound.
