Wow this is a star studded box this month.

Laura Mercier Caviar Volume Panoramic Mascara

Full Size: 12 ml

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $6.25

This glossy black packaging with almost steel looking silver designs is giving me feels I really like it. This is supposed make your lashes look bold but also like soft and touchable at the same time. I will never run out mascara as long as I live. The brush is the kind I like with natural bristles and a nice twist in it that I feel really lengthens and defines my lashes.

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dance Fever

Full Size: 2.4 g

Full Size Cost: $27

Sample Size: 1.8 g

Value: $20.25

This is a nice brown nude I think this is one of the new shades they just launched but I am not sure. I like The Nars Matte pencils they are super smooth and feel really comfortable on. Don’t confuse them with the Satin pencils though those slide all over your face.

Sunday Riley A+ High-Dose Retinoid

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $85

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $14.17

I have another tube of this I can’t remember if it came in Sephora or Macy’s but I am waiting until fall when I am in the sun less to try retionol for the first time. But more of a super expensive retional is not going to upset me I now have a third of a full bottle.

Moroccanoil Moroccanoil Treatment

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $34

Sample Size: 10 ml

Value: $6.80

I love this hair oil it absorbs really well and makes my hair so soft and shiny.

Algenist Genius Sleeping Collagen

Full Size: 60 ml

Full Size Cost: $98

Sample Size: 8 ml

Value: $13.07

This feel really nice on but I don’t know about long term yet. It feels really moisturizing and just good and soft on my skin.

Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $58

Sample Size: 5 ml

Value: $5.80

This is a very thick heavy cream I don’t know how that will work for me I am not into super thick or heavy creams.
