Winky Lux Kitten Eyeshadow Palette Review + Swatches

Hello, everybody!  Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I wanted to give you my thoughts on the Winky Lux Kitten palette that I received in this month's Boxycharm.  The palette is simple cardboard with a magnetic closure.  The design is cute if not a tad bit childish.  There's no mirror in this palette.  Usually, I would knock off points for no mirror, but this palette is only $25 so I feel like it isn't too big of a deal.  *IMO, anything over $30 should absolutely include a mirror for the price.*  All of the shadows in this palette are smooth and very pigmented.  There are a mix of matte, shimmer, and iridescent finishes.  It lacks a few "must have" shades like a black and more transition shades, but you can't always have everything with a nine pan palette.  If I had to pick a favorite shadow in this palette, the light iridescent shade (middle row, left) is probably the one.  It is so stunning in person!  Honestly, pictures just don't do it justice.  If you have the chance to swatch this in person, definitely take a look at that shade!  If I didn't get this in my Boxycharm, I would totally pay $25 just to get a chance to play with that one shade.

Do you own this palette?  What is your favorite shade?

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

Boxycharm Unboxing - November 2017

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  Who's excited for Thanksgiving?  My side of the family is celebrating it today because that is what works for all of our schedules this week.  Then we're celebrating with my husband's side of the family on Thanksgiving day.

Anyway, for today's post I have my Boxycharm unboxing for you!  If you don't already know, Boxycharm is a beauty subscription service that offers 4-5 full size beauty products for only $21.00 a month.  This month's theme is "Sweater Weather" and has a total value of $120.00!  I've been looking through the #BoxyWeather tag on Instagram and it doesn't look like there is any other variations of this month's box besides the color of the lipstick.  Even then, I've only seen two different shades; a bright red and a deep berry.

Cover FX Illuminating Setting Spray - $31.00
I haven't tried much from Cover FX, but I've heard good things about this spray.

Luxie Beauty Quad Eye Travel Set - $32.00
I really like Luxie Beauty brushes.  However, I prefer longer handles over these short ones.

Laqa & Co. Cloud Lips - $17.00
I've never heard of this brand before, but the formula and shade of this lipstick is very nice!

KNC Beauty Collagen Lip Masks - $15.00
I've also never tried a lip mask before, so I'm excited to try one out for the first time.

Winkylux Kitten Eyeshadow Palette - $25.00
This palette is gorgeous!  The shadows are smooth and pigmented.  I have a dedicated review and swatch post coming up on Thursday for this palette, so watch out for that.

And that's everything I got this month!  What do you think of this month's box?

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