MAC Good Luck Trolls Haul #2 Review + Swatches

Hello, everyone!  Happy Halloween!

Recently the entire Good Luck Trolls collection from MAC went on sale at Macy's, so I ordered the last few items that I wanted.  At 60% off, I couldn't possibly pass this up!

So here's what I got (first pic includes my purchases from MAC):


Lipglass in Twerkquoise and Saint Germain


Lipstick in Midnight Troll



Eyeshadow in Silly Vanilly



Swatches







  Glitter in Reflects Transparent Teal
*I can't believe how difficult it is to capture glitter!  My swatch photos do it no justice, it's stunning in person!*


That's everything I picked up!  Did you grab anything from this collection after it went on sale?

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fun and safe Halloween!

October 2016 Boxycharm Unboxing

Hello, everyone!

Today I have my Boxycharm unboxing to share with you!  Boxycharm is a monthly subcription service that has four to five full size beauty products and only costs $21.00 per month.  This month's theme is Boxy Bazaar and includes five full size products making the box worth a total value of $127.50!

 
Luxie Beauty Eye Blender Brush Pack - $36.00


Temptu Shimmer Bronzer - $29.50

 
Briogeo Blow Dry Perfection Heat Protectant - $24.00

 
Starlooks Ultra Matte Lip Paint in Piquant - $19.00



IBY Beauty Three's Company Trio Eye Shadow - $19.00
 
And that's everything!  The big winners for me are the Luxie brushes and the IBY eyeshadow trio.  I could always use more eyeshadow brushes.  The shadows in the trio are so smooth and pigmented!  They're perfect shades for the season as well.  The Briogeo hair product smells sooo nice.  I can't wait to try it!  The Starlooks lip paint is a beautiful shade and perfect for this time of year.  It didn't dry down completely matte, but I don't mind.  And now for the Temptu bronzer...this is my least favorite item in this month's box.  I don't use shimmery bronzers or liquid bronzers.  This one looks like it's too dark for my skin tone anyway.

Apparently, not everyone is getting this product this month.  I believe there are four different products and not everyone is getting the same thing.  One of the things I liked about Boxycharm was that everyone received the same products every month.  Also, I wish Boxycharm did questionnaires like Ipsy does so that we can let Boxycharm know what our skin tones and preferences are.

What do you think of this month's Boxycharm?

I hope you have a good week, and thanks for stopping by!

Influenster x Bustle Flawless Voxbox Product Review

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?

I received the Flawless Voxbox from Influenster recently and I wanted to share with you what was inside.  Its been a couple of years since I've received a multi-branded box from Influenster, so I was ecstatic when I learned that I was getting this one.  This box was curated in collaboration with Bustle.  Bustle is a news/media website and app with articles that appeal mostly to women.  I've never heard of this website before, but it seems pretty popular.


Simple Skincare Cleansing Wipes & Micellar Water sample
I haven't tried anything from the Simple brand yet but I've been wanting to (specifically the micellar water), so I'm excited to try these products out!


Dr. Teal's Pure Epsom Salt Soaking Solution - Eucalyptus
I love using epsom salt when I'm soaking my feet.  Especially ones that are meant for relieving aches and pains.


Harvest Snaps Green Pea Baked Crisps
I'm always on the lookout for a tasty but healthy snack.


Yogi Tea
I prefer coffee over tea, but I don't like to drink coffee after noon.  During this time of the year, however, I like to have a hot drink all day long, and tea is the perfect solution.


Sinful Colors x Kylie Last Kall! Trend Matters Kollection nail polish in the shade King Size (Velvet finish)
I'm a nail polish junkie, so I'm always excited about trying out new nail polishes.  This isn't really the type of shade that I reach for during Autumn/Winter, but this will be nice in the Spring.


Covergirl So Lashy! Blast Pro Mascara in Extreme Black
I've tried Benefit Cosmetics' They're Real mascara and Kat Von D Beauty's Immortal Lash mascara which both have similar wands, and I hated them.


  Overall, I'm pretty happy with this box.  It's nice having products that I know I love, products I've been wanting to try, and new products that I haven't heard of before all in one box.  Did you see any products that you love or products that you want to try in this box?

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great weekend!

*These products were sent to me complimentary for testing purposes.*
