I've been peeking at other bloggers' Luxebox and was so surprised with what they received. I simply couldn't wait to try out the Eyeko eyeliner or get a deluxe version of the blinc mascara. However, when I opened my box, I was only disappointed by what was in it. Neither of the two things I wanted was in my box.... boooh! I guess that's just my luck. Anyways, here's what I got:
all the goodies~
will use it and see if I get smoother skin :P
love the cute bottle and the scent of this, too bad I won't be using the perfume, it's going straight to my collection of miniature box :)
I know this is for all skin types, but I found that most things that don't say oil-free doesn't go well with my skin.... should I risk breaking out?
I was going to give this away, but then I smelled the perfume and I really quite liked it... guess I'm keeping and enjoying it :)
Moroccanoil again? hmm... I think I have received a sample of every product from this brand. I like the brand but I'm getting tired of seeing it in my boxes every month~
Lancome Deficil Mascara in black
I've always wanted to try these nail polish strips out, but found it too pricey... I'm glad I got this in Glitz Blitz, I can see myself wearing this on NYE :)
The packaging: classy rectangular box almost the size of a shoe box, has a personalized touch on the sticker with the Loose Button logo and the letter "M" embossed on it, instead of the usual packing material, they use a white cloth thingy to wrap the samples in.
I am still debating if I want to keep this box. What do you think? for $26 does it seem worth it? Wait for the November box?
Review: Philosophy - the color of grace (shimmering face powder)
First thing you'll notice about this product is that it smells awesome but is not overwhelming. The scent just makes me smile =)
This powder gives a nice glow over my foundation and softens my face. I know that most people only use it to highlight their cheeks/eyes and wouldn't use it all over their face, but I didn't have this problem. I use my E.L.F. kabuki to gently go all over my face and I love the subtle shimmers. With that being said, I have used this as a high lighter and it is a quite nice accent.
As of late, I have grown quite fond of Benefit Cosmetics products... because this review is on their lip/cheek stain! I got the Benetint Pocket Pal because I wanted to give this lip stain thing a try. I got it and I do not regret it at all!
If you know me, you know that I do not like to apply lipstick. I hate that it dries my lips and leaves marks on mugs, straws and my boyfriend's shirt collar (jkjk.) But most of all, I hate the fact that it is basically chewed off my lips in less than 30 minutes after application (I have baddddd habits). Colours just does not stay on my lips unless it's painted on or... if it is very bitter (yuk!!)
So I was ecstatic to find something that stays put, looks natural and smells nice! And the buildable colour is definitely a plus.
However, from this duo, I only like the lip/cheek stain, I do not actually like the gloss that is on the other end. I find it unimpressive and like most gloss too sticky for my taste. For my next purchase I will be purchasing only the lip stain.
