BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review - October 2015

Hello Beauties <3

BoxyCharm is a monthly subscription box that includes 5 full and luxury size beauty items for $21 a month.

Here is a peek at the October box of beauties........

This month's theme is Faces of the Moon - Let your light illuminate the darkness!

Every product in this box is Full Size and here's what was included:

Palmetto Derma Rejuvenating Antioxidant Mask - 1.75 oz  $64

Doucce Punk Volumizer Mascara - 0.45 oz  $24

Bellapierre Cheek and Lip Stain in Coral - 0.17 oz  $19.99

Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eyeliner/Shadow Pencil in Dark Black - 0.03 oz  $18

Cult Cosmetics Nail Polish in Boneyards - 0.50 oz  $12

Approximate value of this box is $137.99

I tried the mask last night and I must say it smelled pretty good and had a slight tingling feel to it. It applied easily and I left it on for 30 minutes. After washing it off with warm water, I continued with my normal nightly skin care routine.

Here's a description:

The soft clay of the mask gently purifies skin, by absorbing impurities and cleaning pores and skin. The advanced antioxidants defend against free radicals and reverse daily skin damage.  This mask is 

whipped-up to velvety perfection for luxurious and easy application.  The cooling effect refreshes and soothes the skin as the mask works its magic, leaving skin bright and smooth!

Today I tried the mascara and my first impression was "ehh". I did not like the applicator, it was a big and heavy making it a little difficult to apply mascara to my lower lashes with ease. 

It is described as defining lashes one by one making them thicker and adding spectacular volume. The short and long bristles help separate and lengthen lashes effortlessly. The intense volumization gives you instantly thicker and fuller lashes.

Until next month..............

Hip Hip Hooray....another Sephora Haul

Hello Beauties <3

How fun is it to come home after a long day at the office and be welcomed by a bunch of Sephora boxes dropped off by the UPS guy for the umpteenth time. I often wonder what goes through his mind when he realizes he will be bringing my goodies to me once again in any given week.

First up is my eyeshadow palette haul. Like many other beauty addicts, I have more palettes that will last me a lifetime ten times over but........ I can't pass up palettes with gorgeous packaging especially when they are on sale.

Next up is some OCC goodies. Like the brand name suggests, I am obsessed with their lip tars, pencils and nail polish.

Lip Tar Mattes from left to right are: Lydia, Digitalis and Momento

Lip Tar Stained Gloss in Dekadent

Lydia is my favorite one from this haul. Here's a helpful hint when using lip tars.... shake well before applying and let the matte lip tars dry a few minutes before eating or drinking. They go on a little wet? liquid-y? but they dry to a nice matte finish and last a good 6 hours.

Until my next haul arrives.........
