Hey Everyone, Inspired by choices this afternoon I decided to write a little about each piece.
First of I went with a clutch I haven't put into use since last Spring. My nearly mint/soft yellow green monogram Louis Vuitton summer clutch. It's got a fabulous small handle on top and an option on the sides for a strap which I never use. It opens to a nice size width for such a small item. Has one small pocket on the inside as well as the large portion of the clutch. A couple of seasons old. I used to be an avid handbag collector.
Next my Eddie Funkhouser Lipstick. This shade is Innuendo. The perfect darkened nude color that is moisturizing as is beautiful. I see this as perfect and affordable. Great for any skin tone I believe. It's sleek black and safe packaging makes for a great companion for my high end clutch. I know the cap won't open and ruin it.
The necklace I chose to wear today is as simple as everything else I chose today. It's my Armed & Readi Double Bar Necklace. Delicate gold chain that leads to a simple and sophisticated design. Also a surprisingly affordable piece.
Links to the lipstick and necklace. The purse is not sold anymore but I am sure you can find something quite beautiful in their current collection or maybe your own if you have some pieces already.
Hey Everyone, I am so excited for this review. I feel like I have been obsessed over this subscription box lol. I for the longest time thought "why do I need that, I buy nail polish all the time?" I really never thought I need a subscription service for nail polish but there is something about the formulas and surprises that they throw in from time to time that makes the whole experience just so fun. So this is my first box and the 1st one is always free w. shipping. I paid $3.99 for all 3 polishes and extra buffers. I will leave a link and code for you to get yours free too!!
You take a style quiz which got me all wrong lol but the good thing is you can go through all the boxes which are 4-5 I believe and pick which ever box you like.
Now onto the polishes. I got Elle (Purple), Libby (Teal) and Bunny (white)
Let's start with my surprising favorite...Libby. It was a cream finish and in one coat it was so beautiful and strong I didn't need another coat. I am usually a 2 coat girl. It was just easy and effortless to apply and dried within 5 minutes.
Bunny is special bc she is a white with gold sparkles. It's a really fancy way to pull off a white nail polish. They are so subtle that if your not looking closely you will never see them. First coat went on a little streaky, second coat made it perfect. I had wished it was like the Libby polish but I understand this has sparkle where as the cream was exactly that a cream. Both were laying on my fingernails so beautifully.
Next was Elle, super beautiful in the sun. It had specs of shimmer running through it but didn't streak ...weird. I would have though that Bunny and Elle were the same type of formula since both had sparkle but they don't apply the same. Also drying time was within the 5 min mark. So impressed and I understand why retail these are $14.00. I also got 2 buffers that work really well as an extra in the box.
The packaging from the box it comes in to the packaging on the products is recyclable. The polishes are 4 FREE which means no harmful chemicals in the polishes.
I am excited bc just a couple of months ago Julep has started bringing makeup into the fold. So I am excited to play with those at some point. They also have this Wizard of Oz set I would just love to add to my collection.
So my plan was like everyone else's get the 1st month and cancel. Instead I ended up placing a regular order bc on Julep "Maven's" get 20% off in the store. Julep is open to the public as a reg store they just have the monthly opportunity of being a Maven. I got sent an email w. a promo for a free gold glitter if I buy $10 & free shipping (always) so I bit. I purchased a couple polishes and an add on they had for St. Paddy's Day so I got 6 Polishes now on their way to me for $15.98.
Total. I also just selected my Classic w.a Twist April Maven Box haha. The formula's and colors just sucked me in. Pretty fun and fantastic. I would give it a try and not resist as long as I did bc I could have had this kind of fun and experience so long ago!!
I will have a blog post on my new precious ones as soon as they come in the mean time here is my unboxing of this 1st box!! #soexcited
I received my very 1st Starlooks Box and I wanted to share it with you. If you were thinking of subscribing I defiantly think it's worth it. You get 3-4 Full Sz Products that are cruelty free and on par with any other makeup brand. It's $15 plus $2 and change for shipping. Each box is worth $35-$99. My box for Feb 2014 was worth $41. What a steal!!
I have done a makeup tutorial with a few items in the box and an unboxing you can see links below
I wanted to accompany the video's with a blog post because I wanted to show up close photo's of everything.
Below are the Cream Eye Shadow, Lipstick and Pigment that came in this months bag. I also got a headband and a beautiful crystal. Random but they wanted to throw in that surprise so you can collect them and start a brush holder :) so sweet. You get everything from their line and it's just stunning their collection of makeup.
Hit this link if you would like to start getting Starlooks Boxes for yourself.
They also have amazing add on's. Things like refer-a-friend where you can get up to 3 extra boxes of goodies for free if you get friends to join. They have Birthday gifts. Your birthday month they will send you a free box of makeup along with your regular box and point system. It's pretty amazing the amount of benefits you get with this subscription box.
Here is the card that came with it if you would like to read it.
So if you have been reading or following my YouTube video's you know I got this mask in an Influenster VoxBox last month. I have got to take a moment and rave about this product and wish I had 100 more lol. This will definitely be a purchase for me when I run out.
Ok my skin history: I am an oily to normal skin person. This mask is supposed to get ride of shine but not your natural oils. I have to 100% agree. I have used it now for a couple of weeks. Once a week for 3 weeks or so already and have noticed a difference in my skin. Especially my pore areas. They have shrunken and my nose is almost slick now. No texture (thank goodness) and I could not be happier that I got to try this mud mask. It is something I would have never picked up on my own and would have gone through life ignorant lol. Also in my original post I linked a pinterest page that showed that it may be a dupe of the famous Glam Glow. If the results for that are less nasty oils, clearer pores, texture goes way down and you look radiant then yes I would say instead of the GG get this and try it. It's all natural too, plant based. You can also get it at TARGET/Online :) less than $10.00. I believe this would be good on any skin type even sensitive. Just test it like you would anything else...do a patch test! I love it and recommend HIGHLY!!
Enjoy my two newest video's. I have decided to combine my YouTube and Beauty Blog so you guys get the most of everything I have to offer. Please subscribe to both so you don't miss a thing!!
