As you can see there are only 4 products pictured here because for the first time ever I had something get destroyed in my box :/. So I am going to talk about that first.

 

Beaute Basics Bronze Essentials

This is how my bronzer arrived to me and it was all over everything in the box it was a total mess. It looks really pretty but since I don’t have it I am not adding it to the value of my box. I don’t know if I am completely satisfied they took a few days to answer and then told me they would send a replacement next month. So next month we will find out if they solved my problem or not.

Crown Brush Deluxe Blush Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12

 

This is a very dense brush but I think it will be great for a really strong but blended contour look. It is very soft but feels very well constructed.

Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara

Full Size: 0.23 oz

Full Size Cost: $23

Sample Size: 0.23 oz

Value: $23

I now have like 3 or 4 of these and I still haven’t tried it I really need to get on with that. I don’t know why but I just don’t get excited to see this mascara? Idk I am weird like that.

Real Her Blush Kit

Full Size: 12 g

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 12 g

Value: $32

This is I’m sure lovely swatched but this came so nicely packaged and wrapped in plastic that I can’t bear to open it just to swatch it. I want this to be enjoyed in its pristine state by some one who will use it.

Pretty Vulgar My Lips Are Sealed Lightweight Liquid Lipstick in Particularly Sophisticated

Full Size: 3 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 3 ml

Value: $24

Oh god this is so sticky but so pretty. I hate sticky but this is gorgeous the color the shine the fucking packaging. The packaging alone is stunning. This is definitely a lipgloss and not a liquid lipstick at all I don’t get why they would market it as a lipstick.

Such a pretty rosy pink with shimmer.


Total: $91 with out the bronzer ($39.95)

Even with out the bronzer palette it was a great value this month. I was really sad that the bronzer broke. The blush has no value to me personally but I know some one will love it. The value was great on this box but I won’t get much use out of the products but that is my personal taste.

Here is another very late post. Oops

Winky Lux Kitten Palette

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $25

 

Love a full sized eyeshadow palette. No really I love a good fullsized eyeshadow palette I collect them. And the packaging on this is pretty damn cute with the kittens and the flowers. It is like the internet threw up on it.

Unfortunately the formula isn’t great the shimmery shades are ok but the mattes needs some help.  The mattes are patchy and not super pigmented. They all feel really soft and wonderful but the pigment isn’t where I would like it to be.

Laqa & Co. Cloud Lips in Sunshower

Full Size: 2.6 g

Full Size Cost: $17

Sample Size: 2.6 g

Value: $17

This is so not the type of red that I go for. It is not even the formula I go for I like dark matte lips or really crazy colors like greens and blues. This is your very classic movie star cream finish red lip. But omg it is so comfortable it is the nicest feeling thing I have ever put on my lips it really does feel like a cloud is so smooth and doesn’t get in the lines in your mouth it just looks and feels so nice. I want to hate this but I kinda love it but I don’t know that I feel able to pull this off out in public. It does wear decently nice but it transfers on everything.

KNC Beauty Collagen Lip Masks

Full Size: 5 masks

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 3 masks

Value: $15

Oh I have some opinion on this. I was bored so I was like ok let me give this a try. I put it on and its huge first of all and like weirdly wet but not. It does not stay on your mouth well the parts on your lips feels ok but it is really uncomfortable on the skin I definitely didn’t like it and didn’t make the full 15 minutes maybe 10. So I was like ok that is a bust product. Then I looked in the mirror and my lips looked plumped and smooth and lipstick went on really nice after. So I do like the results just hate using the product.

Cover FX Illuminating Setting Spray

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $31

Sample Size: 4 oz

Value: $31

The only thing I can really say about this is why? It is a fucking glitter setting spray why on Earth would anyone want that. It sprays fucking glitter and I shook it really well and there was still glitter all over me all over my clothes I just can’t understand what you would ever want that for.

Luxie Beauty Quad Eye Travel Set

Full Size: 4 brushes

Full Size Cost: $32

Sample Size: 4 brushes

Value: $32

I linked to the mini brushes but that isn’t what these are these are travel sized full sized brushes. I actually don’t love the mini brushes I find them a little flimsy but these are true mini versions of the full sized brushes so these I am thrilled to have.


Total: $120

This was such an unexpected month for me. The items I thought I would hate, the lipstick and the lip masks, I love and the items I thought I would love, the setting spray and the palette, I am not the crazy about.

Spellbound seems to be a popular theme this month, it is Ipsy’s theme too.

Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion

Full Size: 2 oz

Full Size Cost: $58

Sample Size: 2 oz

Value: $58

I have had samples of this before and I love it so I am stoked to have a full sized now. Dr. Brandt has in my opinion some of the best high end exfoliators I have tried my only gripe with them is I tend to go through them very very fast. They are also really gentle but powerful so if you have very clogged sensitive skin these may really be something you’d want to try.

ncla Nail Kit

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $16

 

This was such a cute little 5 piece kit, I love the Nailed it on the front and it all zips up into a sleek little case. I took out the little cuticle pusher thing and it promptly disappeared so it decided it didn’t want to be in the picture. This is obviously a Boxycharm exclusive, and I actually like it better then the ones they sell because I like everything in black lol.

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Prosecco Pop

Full Size: 8 g

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 8 g

Value: $38

Ahh I was so so excited for this I have wanted a Becca Highlighter but there was no way in Hell I was going to spend $38 dollars on it. This is such a pretty gold highlight with not glitter. The packaging is just stunning too and it is huge here’s a picture of me holding it so you can see that it is bigger than my palm.

I am so like in love with this packaging though I really can’t the metal with the soft rubber matte, perfection. Swatched Below.

Jontéblu Lip Liner Pencil in 943 Brown Sugar

Full Size: 1.2 g

Full Size Cost: $5

Sample Size: 1.2 g

Value: $5

This is a brown lip liner with a brick under tone I do believe different shades were sent out to coordinate with the shade of the Tarte lippie you were sent. This isn’t to hard or too creamy its dead in the middle. I don’t use lip liners often but it does match well with the shade of liquid lip I got and the Tarte formula does benefit from a lip liner so this was a really thoughtful well chose addition to the box. Also a great price even it it is sorta cheap in comparison to what they usually send out. Swatched Below.

Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Delish

Full Size: 6 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

Sample Size: 6 ml

Value: $20

This is a browny mauve color I don’t know that I am feeling it. I also don’t love the formula on these Tarteist Lip Paints they are too moussey and don’t dry down enough for my liking. They are super comfortable though but they are in no way long wearing or transfer proof. Swatched Below.

Highlighter, Lip pencil, Lip Paint.

The liner and lip paint are really good matched for each other I am impressed.


 

Total: $137

As usual fantastic value for a $21 box. Really the highlight and the scrub were the stars for me the rest really didn’t matter but I will get use out of everything even if I am not in love with the lip  products. I am so thrilled to get to own a Becca highlight it is probably the best thing I have ever gotten in a subscription box. As usual I really recommend Boxycharm they do not disappoint and the value is always there.
