1. Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in "Americano" - Full Size - $19.90

I have four of these already! I have the colors atlantic city, laguna beach, new orleans, and hollywood. As you can probably guess I'm overjoyed to be getting my 5th one!

I love these. They are long lasting, not overly drying for a liquid to matte formula, lightweight, don't feather, and PIGMENTED!

 Just look at that! This is AFTER it "dried matte" on my lips. It looks very moist but it really isn't.

 Is it just me or do my plain lips look angry?? Sad lips

From left to right:

Hollywood, Laguna Beach, Atlantic City, New Orleans, and Americano

Not sealed but no product had been pulled up into the neck of the bottle.

2. Tatcha Japanese beauty papers - Full Size - 30 sheets for $12

This is a pack of blotting sheets to absorb excess oil from your skin. My face eats these up like a family on thanksgiving. I'm glad to have them! Beautiful packaging too.

These are powder free, fragrance free, and pulp-free.

 And they have lovely speckles of gold leafing all over each sheet

3. Jelly Pong Pong All Over Glow Highlight gel - Full Size - 0.53oz for $15.95

Another highlight! If you remember I got a Jelly Pong Pong Highlight gel in Novembers Ipsy bag. At least this one is in my FAVORITE highlight color - silver/white.

This is oil free, 100% cruelty-free, and has jasmine extract

 There was a plastic seal around the lid.

4. Nelson j Beverly Hills Argan Oil 7 Moisture Healing Mask -Full Size - 3.4ozoz  $20

 Card says Full Size and $23 but..the 4oz of this product is $23. This is the 3.4oz product for $20.

This is a hair conditioner. You apply it to damp hair and leave it in for a few minutes then rinse it out. I actually NEVER buy conditioner because I have oily hair and that includes the ENDS. Ha ha. I will give this a whirl though because I haven't used one in ages.

The bottle smells like coconut (says it is coconut scent) but the product itself DOESN'T smell anything like coconut. Not a very pleasant smell.) The product is SUPER watery! Careful dispensing this stuff. I squirted it all over and I was being careful!

It was sealed!

 5. Bellapierre Cosmetics Waterproof Gel Lip Liner in "Cinnamon" - Full Size- $18

This is a gel lip liner. All natural. Made with 100% minerals and botanical extracts. Yes it says it is long lasting formula and they weren't kidding. Check below for pictures. I couldn't get it off my hand OR lips even with heavy duty makeup remover. 

 It was broken. :( Luckily it is a sharpenable one. I found the tip in the top of the lid which is bizarre because the lid doesn't go very far down on it. Weird.

VERY Creamy. Easiest application of a lip pencil I've tried.

Um... this stuff is LONG lasting. I SCRUBBED at my hand. It was only on the back of my hand for a MINUTE! Below is what I was stuck with after scrubbing with makeup remover.

6. NCLA So Rich Vitamin-E InfusedCuticle Oil - Full Size - $18 in scent "Dark Almond"

There are three scents Dark Almond, Peach Vanilla, and Rose Petals. I received dark almond and it is a musky scent. I'm SO glad I got this item though because the variation of this in the box was this item, or two other products we've gotten before in Boxycharms. I would have complained about repeats.

I haven't had a cuticle oil in FOREVER too. I was most excited about getting this item in the box. I hope it isn't a scent that is TOO strong though. I'll let you know in next months review.

Total spent for the bag: $21

Total bag is worth: $103.85

Total saved: $82.85

Of course getting 103 dollars worth of products for 21 is always a steal. I wish I'd stop getting hair products and highlights though. I have a trillion! I just gave away a BAG full of hair products just from Boxycharm and Ipsy. Ugh! Especially when they rarely send things for people with OILY hair. I'm SHOCKED that I don't have the softest hair in existence.

NOVEMBER REVIEW

1. Luxie Rose Gold Concealer Eye Brush #211 - Full Size - $12

Adorable brush! Works great. Glad to have as many brushes as they want to send me.

2. Pur'Lisse Pur'Eye Adore Quadra Benefit Eye Serum - Full Size - $65 

I'mINLoveWITHthisSTUFFFFF. I use this twice a day (morning and night) I don't notice anything different with my eyes but I'm addicted to PUTTING things under my eyes. I don't have bad bags or anything but I do have a slightly darker under eye. I don't notice any difference using this. I just love using it. I like how it feels under my eyes and I love applying it. I'll probably buy an eye cream after I run out of this stuff in 30 years. I use 1/8th of a pea size droplet for both eyes. Ha ha.

3. Manna Kadar's Liplocked .Priming Gloss Stain - Full Size - $24 in "lucky"

Hallllllelujah! Finally a gloss that I love. I'm super picky about sticky lip glosses. I've never used one that wasn't sticky or that DIDN'T leave my lips to live on my cups after the first drink. This gloss is the answers to all my prayers though. I love how it feels, I love the color, I love the smell (none), and I love the staining power. I realllllly want more of these.

4. Coolway Leave-in Treatment - Full Size - $19.95

I love the smell of this and it seems to be leaving the ends of my hair softer than usual! I already liked coolway products but this kind of cements it. Leave in treatments usually just help my hair reach greasy level 8k sooner… this I didn't notice a difference. I don't think I'd BUY these but it is nice to get them in boxes every once in a while.

5. Studio Makeup Soft Blend Blush in "Sahara SBB-02" - Full Size - $17
   
   Very soft blendable blush! This is my go to blush for this entire month! I really like its natural color. I'm so used to light pinks that this ruddier color looks better and less doll like. For sure a great beginning blush.

Thank you so much for following along.

1. Luxie Rose Gold Concealer Eye Brush #211 - Full Size - $12

YAY! Now I have 2 Luxie brushes. This one is the concealer and I've gotten the blush brush before. Aren't these GORGEOUS? These are cruelty free brushes, 100% vegan, paraben free, coated with antibacterial solution and made in the USA. 

2. Pur'Lisse Pur'Eye Adore Quadra Benefit Eye Serum - Full Size - $65

I've never used an eye cream like this! I'm really looking forward to trying this out. It is super expensive... which sucks. I have used under eye cooling rollers. I already know I'm a big fan of putting stuff under my eyes, I'm not sure why. I just enjoy it as part of my night time steps especially.

This is 4 in 1: hydrating, firms, brightens, decreases puffiness.

3. Manna Kadar's Liplocked Priming Gloss Stain - Full Size - $24 in "lucky"

Stain on my hand after one swipe with a cotton pad covered in makeup remover. Ha ha.

With Product on lips

Without any product on lips

After eating - Stain left on lips (20 mins later)

I wasn't too excited to get a gloss because I typically hate them. This one is also a stain (as shown) The website says that this is a lip gloss, lip primer, and stain all in one. I'm intrigued. This contains vitamin A & E, and Berry extract to keep lips nourished. This is paraben free and allergy tested.

Personally, I think you can actually see how it has hydrated my lips above! I wanted you to see with product next to my dry lips and the stain next to it. So, I put the bare pic in the middle. If you notice.. the lines on my lips are visible on the dry pic and the product pic but my "after eating" picture that large "crack" on the upper right is practically gone.

4. Coolway Leave-in Treatment - Full Size - $19.95

Another coolway product! I have the smoothing lotion (which I love and use). I like the sweet smell of this so I'll give it a try.

For all hair types, reduces frizz, moisturizes, and repairs damage. It's supposed to make hair smooth, silky, and bouncy? Haha. Am I the only person who imagines their hair bouncing all over the place on its own?

5. Studio Makeup Soft Blend Blush in "Sahara SBB-02" - Full Size - $17

Here is a photo with a swatch of the product but also on the right I've blended some out. It is very blend-able and comfortable on my hand. Not too scary. I really like this color and I like the soft feel of this already. 

This looks like a burnt pink color in person but their picture on the website looks like a VERY pale tan. Bizarre. Since I know mine looks more like my picture in person than it does theirs it makes me wary of their other photos.

Total spent for the bag: $21

Total bag is worth: $137.95

Total saved: $116.95

I love everything in this months box! I'm excited about the brush, eye cream, and lip gloss most. Can't wait to try all these out.

OCTOBER REVIEW
click here to see the unboxing and swatches

1. Palmetto Derma Rejuvenating Antioxidant Mask - Full Size - $64

 Loved this! It will also last me...for the rest of time. I think this tub will actually go bad before I finish it. I haven't even scratched the surface and I used it four times last month. It is minty and I really enjoyed it. I removed it will a warm damp makeup removing cloth and it felt truly like a spa experience.

2. Bellapierre Cheek and Lip in "Coral" - Full Size - $19.99

Gave this to my cousin because I have WAY too many lip products and I hate putting my fingers into pots of product and I'm too lazy to use brushes.

Her review: I only use it for my lips (not cheeks), it is smooth and easy to apply. I love the orangey pink coral color. I like that it's not a stick so I can use my finger or a brush and not mess up

3. Doucce Punk Volumizing Mascara - Full Size - $24

 I wasn't a fan of this mascara at all. It was EXTREMELY clumping. Look in the unboxing for this here for the before and after pictures. It left me with like 8 big lashes. Ha ha. Weird. The brush and tube were HUGE too. Jabbed myself in the eye more than once.

4. Lord and Berry Line and Shade Eyeliner in "Dark Black" - Full Size - $18

 This was too smudgey for me. I like crisp thin liner that stays put. This moved all over even with primer, setting it with a shadow and liquid over it. It just love to get smudgey. Which is great for smoking it out! Which is what I'll keep it for.

5. Cult Cosmetics Nail Polish in "Boneyards" - Full Size - $12

I loved this color (didn't have one like it) but it isn't the best formula. It doesn't level itself properly and is kind of a pain to use. I like this color though and plan on using it for designs.

Thank you so much for following along
