Color. Sustainability. Luxury from Mexico? 👀
A bold, plastic-free brand landed on my doorstep – and this beige babe went full jewel-tone. In this first impression try-on of Ahora México, I unbox, swatch, and test a vibrant clean beauty collection that claims to challenge traditional European luxury.
We’re talking:
– Lightweight, buildable matte and metallic shadows
– Lip “serums” that feel juicy and minty
– Liners that warm up as you use them
– A sustainability mission that goes plastic negative
Did the formulas live up to the luxury promise?
Can bold color still feel wearable?
And will I actually reach for this again?
Let’s find out.
