Hello Kitty Nail Set

Nail Stamping
Bundle Monster set of stamp discs and Konad scraper

Fake Nails

Dotters
This is a set I found on Amazon.  The description said 10 different size dots, but as you can see, one side on all of the sticks are the same size.  So it's really only 6 sizes, but I don't mind.

Whew!  That's everything!  I really need to go through my nail polish and get rid of a few.  I have some shades that are very similar and there's no reason for me to keep "doubles".

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

Boxycharm Unboxing - August 2017

Hello, everyone!  Happy Eclipse Day!

I received my Boxycharm a few days ago and I want to show you what I got this month!  If you don't already know, Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription service that includes 4-5 full size products and costs $21.00 per month and always has a value of $100.00+.  August's theme is "Beach Please" and my box this month has a total value of $129.00!  I also received a coupon code from Tarte for $10.00 off of orders over $60.00 on tarte.com which is valid until 09/15/2017.  The code is BOXYAUGUST if you want to use it.  ;)

 

Tarte "Rainforest of the Sea: Volume 2" eyeshadow palette - $36.00
I was so excited to see a palette from a well known brand in this month's box!  I'm not sure how I feel about its size though.  I was expecting it to be a little bigger (this is only my second Tarte palette, my first is their Make Believe In Yourself palette which is also circular but a bit bigger), but I guess since it's small it would be good for traveling.  The packaging is beautiful though.  The shadows are creamy and pigmented.  *Conch doesn't show up too well on my skin because it's fairly close to my skin color.*  Half of the shades are matte and the other half are shimmer shades, so you can create quite a few different looks.

 

Royal & Langnickel "Moda Pro" 3 piece brush set - $26.00
I haven't used any R&L brushes before, but I've heard good reviews on this brand.  The set includes a blush brush, a contour brush, and a crease brush.  I haven't tried these on my face yet, but the bristles are very soft and the rubber handles are easy to hold on to.

 

Adesse "Gel Effect Nail Polish" in the shade Suzannemi - $18.00
I love red nail polish, so naturally I'm a fan of this shade.  I know some Boxycharm members don't like receiving nail polish in their boxes, but I don't mind.  I actually enjoy trying out new nail polish brands.  I've heard of Adesse polishes before but haven't tried them, so I'm excited to wear this.

 

Pur Cosmetics "Pro Eyelashes" in the style Bombshell - $14.00
I don't wear false lashes too often but when I do, I prefer this shape.  I like that these are cruelty free and reusable up to 30 times.

 

Aloette "Face Paint" lip and cheek tint in the shade Blooming Berry - $35.00
The shade is pretty, but I won't be using this on my cheeks.  The formula feels a bit greasy and I'm not about to put anything greasy on my face.  I'll definitely use this as a lip tint though.

 

And that's what I received this month!  What did you get in your box?

Did you watch the eclipse today?  If so, are you also in the path of totality or did you travel to see it? I live in Oregon in the path of totality so I have a great view from my backyard.  However, Oregon is estimated to have around 1 MILLION visitors for the event!  O.O

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