Ipsy Glam Bag Plus January 2020


Hello, 2020! It's still bizarre for me to write 2020, like futuristic. 😎 I am a little in love with this bag; one side is full marble and the other half is metallic rose gold and marble. At first glance, these products seem small for full-size and after doing research on each item I found that not all of them are indeed full-size.


Hanalei Company Lip Treatment in Clear - A blend of hydrating oils, with rare kukui oil—a Hawaiian nut rich in vitamins A, C, and E, and essential fatty acids. It also contains agave, aloe, and grapeseed oil. This balm has such a faintly sweet taste it’s almost imaginary, but the effects on the lips...stellar. The lip treatment which is quite large for lip products is natural and feels great on your lips without those addicting properties like Carmax. Retails for $20

Illamasqua Liquid Eyeliner in Black - The inky-black and smudge-proof formula dries to a semi-matte finish. I have so so so many black eyeliners, I want to scream in frustration - but Illamasqua's has reason to be moved to the top. It glides on smoother and than any I've ever used! Retails for $22

Complex Culture Press & Set Bronzer Brush - This 2-in-1 setting and bronzing brush helps you apply powder products seamlessly. The dense Syn-tech bristles blend out the product evenly with no streaks or blotches. Retails for $35

Purlisse Blue Lotus 4~in~1 Eye Adore Serum - This 4-in-1 formula deeply penetrates the skin to deliver a nutrient boost that helps ease fine lines, crows feet, dark circles, and puffiness. A unique peptide blend of plant-based powerhouses (French marine plants, soy proteins, and vitamin E) combat signs of aging. The full size Retails for $58 - which irks me, this box is supposed to be all full-sized!

Flesh Glisten Drops in Whisper - This versatile liquid highlighter can be used on bare skin, mixed with moisturizer, or tapped over makeup for a luminous look. The pearlescent rosy blush shade is designed to flatter all skin tones. The formula contains gelled water for a dose of hydration that keeps your highlight looking fresh, never cakey. I'm immensely disappointed in the size, this product is great at leaving your skin "fresh and dewy". Retails for $28

Boxycharm Novemeber 2019 - Photos/Review



Boxycharm decided to elevate themselves and their plans. With 3 different plans available (although BoxyLuxe and Boxy Premium are on the waitlist for MONTHS.) Boxycharm went up in $5 per month in price - they told us it was due to the fact of nicer products. I can attest. This box is my favorite in quite awhile. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ITEM! Keep it up Boxy and get me off this waitlist! :)


Boxycharm set of 2 brushes - The large multipurpose powder brush is perfect for liquids, creams, powders or mineral products. The foundation brush has an oval base to help with precise foundation placement and seamless blending. These ultra-soft brushes are hand-crafted, synthetic and cruelty-free. Retails for $35

Vitamasques Morning Goggle Eye Mask in Brighten and Protect - When I opened the package I wondered where the mask was until I noticed it was so small...and it was a superhero shaped eye mask. Geek out! I feel like Stargirl wearing this. LOVE.    This mask protects against pollution and blue light. It brightens and helps your puffy-eyes. Retails for $7

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter - I'm thrilled to receive another BECCA product. This company has been happy whenever I have their product. This highlighter blends pigments with liquids, creating a creamy feel that applies seamlessly and never cakes. The award-winning highlighting powder comes in over a dozen shades. Retails $39

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder Eye Shadow Palette - I was in awe of this palette when I saw it in the box. I look forward to playing with these beautiful colors. 12 shades of vivid pigments, shadows, and glittery foils. Retails for $44


Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment - This was the 1 item I picked for the new customization. A proprietary blend of fruit stem cells and Vitamin C infused into certified organic, antioxidant-rich botanical juices works to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and minimize the appearance of dark circles. Retails for $50
