☻☻February Lip Monthly Unboxing + January Review☻☻

Lip Monthly is a monthly subscription box for LIP products (plus one non-lip item.) Every month, they will send out a new set of lip products. Sometimes the lip boxes have different colors but usually they are all the same brand.

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $10 per month

They ship to the U.S., Canada, and Internationally

1. Be a... Bombshell Lip Gloss "Hooked" $14

Below is a before and after with this product

I actually really like this color and the feel of this gloss. I still would consider it a sticky gloss but I have to admit it is the least sticky that I've had on my lips. I'll use it once out of the house and if I still like it I'll keep it but if not I'll be passing it along.

2. So Susan Lip Dome Plumping Lip Tint in "Black Currant" $12

 Below is a before and of this product on my lips

 I love this plumping lip tint. It has a nice tingle in it without the mint flavor. In fact it smells just like berries! I adore the scent and the feel of this soft tinted lip balm product. The shape is extremely difficult to work with getting in corners though! Dome = not great. When are they going to come out with a RAZOR sharp lip stick shape?

3. Cargo Cosmetics Eye Shadow Single "Babylon" $16

I'm not sure how much I'll be reaching for a blue color like this but I'm excited to add it to my collection! It is soft and has a nice metallic sheen to it when swatched. 

4. Jelly Pong Pong Supermodel Lip&Cheek Stain $16

Top: Coral and Dark Pink
Bottom: White and Red

Below is the teeny tiny brush that came with this quad.

These are swatches the first two are the bottom left to right. The second two are the top left to right.

Below is:
The Red

 The Coral

 The Pink

 The White

I really like the feel of these! I didn't try them on my cheeks because I'm not into creamy blushes. I think only the "red" at the top is flattering to my complexion. Sadly, I'll be passing this along to my cousin. They feel super smooth on the lips and from what I could tell while wearing each one they are staining. I had a bit of a time getting them off my hand after swatching too!

Total spent for the bag: $10

Total bag is worth: $58

Total saved: $48

Let it be noted on here that the total on the card has the products as worth more but I used my totals straight from the companies websites. According to the card the bag total is $64.

Here is the video unboxing of this bag!

Thank you so much for following along. 

☼☼December Boxycharm Unboxing☼☼

So, I am now subscribed to Boxycharm! Technicallyyyy February's box (which I haven't gotten yet) is my first box from them. I have bought January's and Decembers boxes though. I posted January's unboxing already HERE. This is December's unboxing since it showed up after January's. Ha ha.

Boxycharm is $21 per month of 4-5 higher end full size beauty products. Nail care, hair products, skin care, and cosmetics!

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $21 per month (FREE SHIPPING!)

They only ship to 48 U.S. states. (They don't ship to Hawaii or Alaska yet.)

 This box is BEAUTIFUL!

1. Eva NYC Hungry Hair Oil Treatment 30ml $12

This smells...ahhhhhhhhhhhhmazing. It has a semi-sweet scent like vanilla. I couldn't find an ingredient on the bottle that matched the scent. That is what I could come up with. I'm excited for this. I do have oily hair but it isn't the healthiest and usually I put this kind of thing on a hour or so before I shower at night so it doesn't make me overly oily through an entire day. (Description: with Keravis protein and argan oil, intensely nourishes, hydrates and smooths. For ALL hair types."

2. Mistura Beauty Solutions Retractable Brush $19.99

I love that this is travel ready! Some of the bristles were wrinkled and crunched up after I opened it but it feels nice. I like the amount of stiffness. Plus, I think it is beautiful.

3. Eyelashi Mink False Eyelashes in "Heartbreaker" $29

*Falls head over eyes in LOVE* Ha ha. I normally ONLY buy natural looking false lashes that just make my natural lashes look a little fuller or longer. This is for sure a false looking set but they are MINK? The BOX is to DIE for. I mean.. do you see the pattern on the box? Soooooooo LUXXXX!

4. Be a.... Bombshell Lip Gloss in "Kiss Off" $14

 Before and after below:

If you have ever read my blog.. you know that I'm NOT a fan of lip gloss. I have one or two that I keep around but I usually pass these along to my cousin because I get so many! This is a lovely color but I'll pass it along too. :D

5. Coastal Scents: Revealed Palette $39.99

 Below are swatches from this palette starting with the top left to right.

Below is the second row swatch but for some reason I was backwards... it swatches from right to left. Fail. You can tell because it starts with the black on the right side!

This is my first eye shadow palette so it already has a special place in my heart. That being said there are bright spots and ... fails. First there are no color names! I like the bottom row WAY more than the top row. I think I only like six colors from the top out of the 10. I like all the colors on the bottom. You can tell though that some of these swatches are a little lacking when it comes to pigment. 

Total spent for the bag: $21

Total bag is worth: $114.98

Total saved: $93.98

That is a win! This is my favorite beauty box! I can't wait to get my next one. I'm in HEAVEN.

Thank you so much for following along. 

♥November Ipsy Unboxing + Oct Review♥

Ipsy is a monthly subscription box for Beauty and Makeup products. When you sign up for Ipsy you do a little quiz that helps Ipsy chose the products to send you.

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $10 per month

They ship to the U.S. and its territories and Canada only

This is my second Ipsy bag.

This bag is called Girl meets Glitter. It says to share a pic of your November Glam Bag and tag @ipsy in it.

My Promises! I was not compensated in any way for the products in the video above. It will always be my honest opinion about the products. If I am ever compensated for products, I will let you know.

1. The first item below is an IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Anti-Aging concealer in the shade "Neutral Medium" sample size (.11fl oz) for approx. $9.60 (full size .28fl oz is $24) 

This sample almost pays for the box all by itself.

Not sure if you can tell but I totally mutilated the top of the box with I cut open the packaging. Thank goodness it wasn't my actual glitter BAG! Devastation would have been felt.

As you can see there are four shades (hardly enough to cover the range especially in a concealer) I received the second from the top. The top "fair" looks too light. There might not be a perfect shade of this out there for me. I did swatch this but I left that photo out because it doesn't show in photos. Take it from me though.. I can see the LINE between it and my skin. It's full coverage and THICK so I might mix it with something else. :D

2. The next item is this Be a... bombshell eye base in the color "submissive" for $14 it is bronzie and creamy and has just a hint of shimmer. I adore it so far.

The packaging seems well made (glass bottom/plastic lid) and the product is to DIE for. See below.

Look at this! It goes perfectly with the two other goldish shades I have. I could do a full look with the three I have now. Ha ha. 

3. The next item is my absolute favorite from this bag! J. cats wonder lip paint in "Red Potion" for $4.99 It looks impossibley vampy and dark in the tube but on the lips it was a berry vamp rather than the brick vamp I was expecting. The consistency is unusual too. It feels like a gloss with a wet watery feeling rather than a sticky one. 

Below is a before and after of my lips with Red Potion on the lower.

What do you think? I love how this looks!

4. Another highlighter.. in my first Ipsy bag (last months) I also received a highlighter. This one is liquid and that first one was a cream, but still. Highlighter is something I think everyone uses the least amount of. This is Temptu S/B Highlighter 30ml in "Pink Pearl" for $27.50 what I have is a sample size of 3ml though so only worth $2.75

5. And final product in the bag is this Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Volume Shine Hairspray $8.99 but what I have is a sample size of only 53ml making it worth approx. $1.60

I liked this bag. The J. Cats Beauty Wonder Lip Paint.. is worth the whole works for me!  I'll use all of these items at least thought which I can't say about any subscription bag I've gotten so far. I might try a few then pass them on but I'm interested in all of these at least.

Bag Price: $10

Bag Total: $33

Savings: $23!

A lot less than last months bag though. October's bag was worth $59.56! 

Watch me unbox this bag HERE!

Thank you so much for following along! I'm really addicted to subscription boxes!
