My Makeup Collection 2018: Lipgloss

Hello, everybody!  How was your weekend?  I, like most people, do not enjoying losing an hour of sleep, but the weather has been beautiful so I can overlook it.

Today's MMC is all about lipgloss.  I recently went through and threw out some old glosses, but I still have quite a few considering I don't particularly like lipgloss.  I love how it looks, but I don't enjoy the feel of them on my lips or when they get onto my face and in my hair.

Let's briefly address the obvious first.  I know most people prefer the clean look of bright white backgrounds, but I'm quite bored of them now.  It seems like most product photos that I come across have a white (or at least fairly light) background and they all start to blend into one another, so I want to try something different for a bit.  My favorite color is red, so I thought I'd try a red background for a while to see how that goes.  Let me know what you think in the comments!

NARS: Pink Glow, Mezmer, Orgasm, and Turkish Delight

Urban Decay: Sesso

MAC: Twerkquoise, Saint Germain, Sweet Strawberry, Viva Glam 6, Seducing Sound, Viva Glam Miley, Viva Glam Riri, and Domestic Diva

Minis: Bite Beauty, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Vintage by Jessica Liebeskind, and Make Up For Ever

Those are all of my lipglosses!  What is your favorite lipgloss formula?

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a fantastic week!

January 2017 Boxycharm Unboxing

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?

For today's post I have this month's Boxycharm to show you.  Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription service that offers 4-5 full size beauty products for only $21 a month and shipping is always free.  The theme for this month's box is "And the Charm Award Goes To..." and the total retail value for my box comes to $121.95!

This box was just okay for me.  There's a couple of things that I'm interested to try, but nothing really wowed me this month.  I'm happy that I received a fan brush because I don't own one yet (crazy, right?!) and the highlighter duo is nice.  The bronzer might work for me if I use a light hand with it.  I'm hoping it isn't too dark or orange toned for my skin tone.  The sponge is a bit interesting, but not an exciting kind of interesting (does that make sense?).  Finally, the roller ball perfume has an okay floral/sweet scent, but a little definitely goes a long way with it.  I gave myself a headache when I initially tried it on.

*Gorge Amazing Konjac Sponge - $18.00

So Susan Fan Brush - $18.95

Vintage Highlighter Double in the shades Rose Quartz & Chocolate Diamond - $35.00

Pur Cosmetics Mineral Glow Bronzer - $25.00

English Laundry Pour Femme Roller Ball - $25.00

What did you receive in your box this month?  How do you like your products?

I hope you have a good weekend, and thank you for stopping by!

November 2016 Boxycharm Unboxing

Hello, everyone!  Happy Thanksgiving!

I received this month's Boxycharm in the mail recently and I wanted to show you everything that came inside.  The theme for this month is Groovy Town, and the total value of this box comes to $134.94!

 

Studio Makeup On-The-Go "Cool Down" Palette - $49.95
Swatches and full review for this palette will go up next week!

 

Skyn Iceland Icelandic Relief Eye Pen - $20.00
The applicator for this eye cream is very interesting, it has a squishy gel consistency.  I recently ran out of the eye cream I was using, so this came at just the right time.  This is very cooling and felt so nice on my eyes.

 

Bellapierre Kiss Proof Lip Creme in Antique Pink - $20.00
 This is a liquid to matte formula.  It's a stunning shade and it smells soooo good!

 

Vintage Illuminating Face Highlighter in the shade Rose Gold - $32.00
This is the only product in this month's box that I'm not excited about.  It's a face highlighter, but it's wayyyyyy too dark to use on my skin tone.  I know I could use this as a blush, but I already have a blush that's a similar shade and I very rarely use it, so I know I would never use this one.  I didn't swatch it because I'm going to be giving this away.

 

Crown Brush C513 Pro Detail Crease Brush - $12.99
I'm always up for trying new brushes so I'm pretty excited to use this!

 

And that's everything that I received this month!  Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.  However, I can't wait for the day when Boxycharm comes out with a survey for their customers to choose their skin tone, eye color, etc. so I won't keep receiving products that I can't use.

Did you get your Boxycharm yet?  What products were in yours?

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