My Makeup Collection 2018: Lip Liners + Lip Pencils

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I have all of my lip liners and lip pencils to show you today for this week's MMC.  When it comes to lip liners, there really aren't any that I get particularly excited about.  As long as I have a nude shade, a pinky shade, a red shade, and a dark, vampy shade then I'm set.  I don't own very many lip liners as a result of this.

Lip Liners
Bella Pierre Gel Lip Liner in No. 02 Nude, NYX Cosmetics Lip Liners in Bloom, Hot Red, Prune, and Pinky/Rose, Jonteblu Lip Liner Pencil in 955 Spice, Model Co. Illusion Lip Liner, Mally Beauty Lip Liner in Crimson, and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Lip Pencil in Ozone.

Lip Pencils
e.l.f. Cosmetics Matte Lip Color in Wine, Lord & Berry Maxi Matte Crayon Lipstick, Nudestix Cream Lip & Cheek Pencil in Mystic, NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien, and NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella x 2

That's all of them!  Like I said, I'm not crazy about lip liners, so I rarely purchase any.

I hope you have a fantastic week.  Thank you for stopping by!

Boxycharm Unboxing - December 2017

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been so far?

For today's blog post I have this month's Boxycharm to show you.  Boxycharm is a beauty subscription service that offers 4-5 full size beauty products for only $21.00 per month.  This month's theme is Glitz & Glam and my box has a total value of $120.99!

Real Her "Be Fearless, Be Limitless" Blush Kit - $32.00
This is a decent blush kit.  The shades aren't bad though they are a bit dry and hard, but I would never pay $32.00 for this.  To be fair, I'm really not into blush.  I'm quite fair so blush can be a bit overpowering on me.

Bella Pierre Cosmetics "Pro Concealer Palette" - $29.99
I really did not want to receive this.  I'm not into color correcting these days as it's just another unnecessary step in my already too long routine. Not to mention, and I feel bad saying this, the quality of this is awful.  The formula is very greasy and it smells like its gone bad.  I'm honestly afraid to put this on my acne prone skin.

Pretty Vulgar "My Lips Are Sealed" Liquid Lipstick in Weeping Willow - $24.00
This is one of the items that I was hoping to receive.  Naturally, of the three shades available I received the one that I doubt I'll ever wear.  I really wanted this because I've never tried anything from the brand yet, but I don't like brown lip shades on me.

Tarte "Tarteist" Mascara - $23.00
This mascara has a rubber wand which I don't typically like, but hopefully it's good.

Crown Brush "Pro Blush Brush" - $12.00
I was hoping to receive this item as well, but the quality feels different from other Crown brushes that I own.  My other brushes feel so soft, but the bristles on this one feel a bit scratchy.  It feels like cheap quality, which surprised me because I really like my other Crown brushes.  Anyway, I read that a lot of people prefer this brush for foundation since it's smaller than an average blush brush.  I didn't like this for blush either, so I'll try it again for foundation.

What do you think of this month's box?  I have to be honest, I'm not that impressed.  So much so, that I actually unsubscribed from Boxycharm.  I just hate getting products that I'll never use and products that I would use but receive in a shade I won't wear.  For a "Glitz & Glam" theme, this box was very underwhelming.  I'm quite sad about unsubscribing, but I haven't been that excited about my boxes lately.  I used to look forward to getting my box in the mail every month and was always happy (more often than not) with the items I received.  I haven't felt that way in a while, and I'd rather use the $21.00 each month on products that I know I like/want/need.

What products did you receive?  Are you happy with your box this month?

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

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!
