Boxycharm October 2014 "Bewitched"

I received my first Boxycharm today this month's theme is Bewitched which goes with the October Halloween season which is such a fun idea! If you don't already Boxycharm is a monthly subscription box that includes mostly full size beauty items and it's $21 each month.

 

I loved the packaging It's adorable and the information card is great it provides the cost and size of the items as well as how to use the products so very helpful!

 

Costal Scents Eclipse Palette ($14.95) This was one of the spoilers shown on Instagram and I was super excited for it. It ahs all kinds of colors for different skin tones and to correct redness, yellow pigmentation, and bruises. The packaging does feel a bit cheap but it seems like it will be good especially for Halloween.

 

Be A Bombshell Eye shadow ($14) This is a beautiful navy blue color the pigmentation is good because it comes out a softer color not as deep as in the pan. It's a nice product and full sized and I will use this so I'm happy with it. For the cost I would have liked a sturdier packaging it feels really cheap.

 

Starlooks Ultra Gem Pencil ($14) This is one of my favorite items in the box I love it it's stunning and super smooth and it's full size! It's not on the Starlooks website though there is a similar one but not exactly the same as this one or the color.

 

Palmetto Derma Collagen Booster ($48) This is a nice size and it's pricey so I am excited to try this out and see if it really helps my skin glow. The texture is a little bit watery for a serum but I like that it's not thick or greasy it feels good on the skin.

Cult/Commerce Shady Nail Polishes ($21) These nail polishes are beautiful they go right on with the theme. One is beautiful purple shade called #18 and the other is a dark grey with sparkles called #22. I love the purple shade which is the one I'm currently wearing right now. Lots of people had problems with the brush because it was too stiff but mine wasn't it works great I have no complaints.

I loved this box it had an amazing value of $111.95 which I only paid $21 so that's epic. I love the nail polishes, the gem pencil, the concealer palette and the serum. The only thing I'm whatever about is the be a bombshell eye shadow but I will still try to wear it especially for fall! If you would like to subscribe to receive the future goodies click here!

Ipsy October 2014 "Beauty Candy" Bag

Hey guys, today I received my "Beauty Candy" bag from Ipsy and the bag is really cute I adore it but I don't really feel like it fit with Halloween.  If you don't already know Ipsy is a $10 monthly cosmetic subscription with 4-6 deluxe samples and full sized items.

This is everything that was inside my Ipsy bag this month and when I first saw everything I was disappointed because I wasn't overly excited over any product. I also wished they would have put candy inside it would have fit well with the theme.

 

Acacia BB Cream ($12) This is a beauty balm for hair and I wasn't overly excited for this but I'm more excited of trying it now. It's a nice size sample so it should last me a while to at least see if I like it or not. I like the smell of it and I believe it's a deluxe size sample.

 

 

Starlooks Lipgloss $4 This lip gloss is in the color guilty pleasure I love the color and it smells kind of like vanilla. I'm so disappointed at how small this gloss is it's like 1/3 of the full size I would have liked to receive the full size version especially since it's not highly expensive.

Mica Mineral Shadow ($14.95) I received the color 93 reluctance but I really wanted Harlequin but this color is still stunning and it's a full size item. I don't know if I'm keeping this or swapping it because I'm not big on mineral eye shadows they're so messy.

Skyn Iceland Cleansing Cloths ($5) I'm disappointed once again that these are 1/3 of the full size item I would have liked to receive more. These contain 10 cleansing cloths so I will be able to see if I like them or not. I've heard wonders about this brand and I love cleansing wipes that's mainly what I use to remove my makeup so they're always welcome.

Rogue Perfume ($9.99) I think this is a nice size perfume and will definitely last a while. I also really like the packaging but I don't like perfume so I will be trading this for the Noyah lipstick that I so badly want! 

Overall, I think this month's Ipsy bag was a miss for me I didn't love anything and I received some small samples as well I would have loved to actually see stuff I put I liked on my quiz because I asked for no perfumes and no hair stuff and no lip gloss and received all 3. The total value of my bag was $45.94 which isn't bad but I didn't receive the items I wanted. You can subscribe here.
