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 - October 2017

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

I have my Boxycharm unboxing to share with you!  Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription service that offers 4-5 full size products for only $21.00.  This month's box theme is Spellbound, and my box has a total value of $138.00!

Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion - $58.00
I was pretty excited to see this in my box this month because I really liked the last Dr. Brandt exfoliator we received.  I can't wait to try this out!

Jonteblu Lip Liner Pencil in Spice - $5.00
I've never heard of this brand before, but this liner swatched smooth and pigmented.  I don't really like wearing dark nude/brown lip shades though, but I'll try this under different lip colors and hopefully I'll like how it looks.  My card says it can be used for lip contouring which I don't normally do, but I'll definitely try it out.

Tarte Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Pillowtalk - $20.00
I am not a fan of this shade at all.  It's described as a "white nude" and it looks like concealer on my lips.  My husband told me I should wear it for Halloween because it makes me look dead.  LOL

Dirty Little Secret Eyeshadow Crayon in Illusion - $14.00
This shadow stick is creamy and pigmented.  I also really like the shade I received.  It's a peachy-golden shade that I think will look stunning all over the lids.

Becca Cosmetics Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighter in Prosecco Pop - $41.00
I really wanted the pressed powder version of this since I rarely use liquid highlighters.  I tried to slowly pump out just a little bit to swatch, but a ton of product came out anyway.  I feel like I'm going to waste about half of this bottle because it pumps out way more than I need.  It's a gorgeous shade, but it may be a bit too golden for my skin tone when I'm not tanned.  I may keep this to use on my body though.

This box was so-so for me.  I would be much happier with it if I had received different shades of the lip items.  Unfortunately, both lip products are in shades that I won't wear.  I'm hoping Boxycharm will eventually allow us to choose shades we like/dislike.  Or at least use our skin tone to determine which shades to send out.

Are you subscribed to Boxycharm?  If so, what products did you get in your box this month?  Are you satisfied with your items?

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

May 2016 Boxycharm Unboxing

Hello, everyone!  How has your week been?

Today I have my May Boxycharm unboxing to share with you.  This month we received six full size products!  I really like everything in this month's box.  There are four makeup items, one fragrance, and one nail polish.  I like that there is variety in this box and it isn't only makeup.  (I'm an all around beauty junkie!)

First up is the Pur Cosmetics Double Ego-Duo Ended Eyeliner in the shade Swiss Alps.  One side is a pencil tip and the other side is a liquid liner.  This retails for $21.00.

Makeup Geek Blush in the shade XOXO.  The blush is finely milled and smooth.  This retails for $15.00.

Ella + Mila Nail Polish in the shade Pistache.  It's such a pretty mint shade.  These are vegan and cruelty free.  They retail for $10.50.

The Brow Gal clear brow gel.  It's waterproof.  This brow gel retails for $20.00.

Starlooks Luxe lip liner in the shade Charmed.  I believe this shade is a special collaboration with Boxycharm.  It's much brighter than I expected based on the shade of  the packaging.  It's very pretty though!  I love that it's a retractable pencil.  This is budge-proof!  I had a bit of trouble removing the swatch from the back of my hand with a makeup remover wipe.  This retails for $19.50.

Catherine Malandrino Romance de Provence deluxe mini sprayer.  This retails for $20.00 for 10 ml.  I like the scent (it's floral with a bit of fruitiness) but it's very strong.  I'm not good at describing scents, but the notes are jasmine, rose, violet, vanilla, patchouli, and tonka bean.

So that's everything inside my May Boxycharm box!  Are you subscribed to Boxycharm?  What did you receive in yours?

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you have a nice weekend!

My Makeup Collection: Lip Liners/Lip Pencils

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?  My husband got sick on Tuesday and I caught it on Thursday.  :(  Needless to say, it's been a pretty lousy weekend for me.

Anyway, we're back in to lip products for this week's MMC!  This week we'll be looking at all of my lip liners and lip pencils.  I decided to put the two together because I don't have too many of either product, so it's going to be another short one.

Lip Liners: Model Co. Illusion Lip Liner (nude), Mally Beauty Lip Liner in Crimson, NYX Cosmetics Lip Liners in Bloom, Prune, Hot Red, and Pinky/Rose, and Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencils in Ozone and Naked.

Lip Pencils: NudeStix Lip & Cheek Pencil in Mystic, NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien and Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella, and Trestique Lip Pencil in Chile Red.

I know I need to branch out from the pinks and reds that I always pick up.  I don't know why I'm so drawn to them.  (Well, red is my favorite color so that's why I always pick up reds. lol)  What are some of your favorite lip liners and shades?

As always, I hope you have an amazing week, and thank you for stopping by!
