Late like usual. I was just really not inspired by the boxes/bags I have gotten this month so like was not very excited to write my reviews.

Jelly Pong Pong Cosmetics Cosmic Light Multi functional Pigment in Pulsar

Full Size: 2.3 g

Full Size Cost:$18

Sample Size: 2.3 g

Value: $18

Very very pretty pigment. I love looking at pigments but I so rarely use them because they are messy but I have a decently sized pretty collection. This hangs together really well ad is very smooth and fine. But I don’t know that it is worth $18 I can get indie brand ones that are just as pretty or prettier for way way less. Swatched Below.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Quirky

Full Size: 5.6 g

Full Size Cost: $29

Sample Size: 1.5 g

Value: $7.77

This is a very peachy blush. I am not swatching it because my little cousin wants makeup for Christmas so I am going to give her this as an add on to her gifts. I also can’t find this shade anywhere which is weird.

Katherine Eyeliner Solution in Royal Plum

Full Size: 0.35 g

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 0.35 g

Value: $22

This is very smooth but it is not really plum it is more of a brown with purple undertones. I don’t think this is real worth $22 which is the sale price it sells for $34 which is outlandish. This also doesn’t have a tone of pigment I really had to layer it up to get an opacity. Swatched Below.

Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in 28 Trusty Rusty

Full Size: 4.5 ml

Full Size Cost: $12.99

Sample Size: 1.5 ml

Value: $4.33

This is so pretty and comes in so many pretty colors. This is such a tiny sample though like itty bitty. This is more of a red red then a rusty red but very pretty.


Marc Anthony Bye Bye Frizz Leave-In Conditioner

Full Size: 8.4 oz

Full Size Cost: $8.99

Sample Size: 1.69 oz

Value: $1.81

I love Marc Anthony Haircare so this will be great to try out.


It is always nice to get full size things and I got two this month. This bag was better then last month but still not super great I am hoping Dec is going to be better. I am happy with the lipstick and leave-in because those will definitely get used.
