Laura Lee Los Angeles Nudie Patootie Palette

by Lea1 Comment on Laura Lee Los Angeles Nudie Patootie Palette

Hey guys! So if you have been following my blog for awhile, you will know that one of my favourite Youtuber’s is Laura Lee. I bought her first eye shadow palette and I loved it! So when I saw that she can out with a new palette I immediately bought it. This eye shadow palette is called Nudie Patootie and features a range of nude shades and a few sparkly shades. It has 14 shades and costs $45 USD; it was around $65 CAD for with me shipping, and I did have to pay duties on the palette. The shipping was relatively quick.

The packaging on this palette is beautiful. I love the the pink gradient on the front with the name in a glossy embossed lettering. The logo and sides are the palette are rose gold which is so cute. The palette comes with a large mirror and feels sturdy. The eye shadow pans are about the size of a loonie. This palette is long, basically the size of my forearm. This makes it a little impractical to travel with because it doesn’t fit into my makeup bag. But the palette is so beautiful that it is nice to display.

The quality on this palette in unbelievable. The shadows are creamy and pigmented while being extremely blendable. I will say that the shadows translate a little darker on the lid.  For example, I went in with the shade Bare thinking it would be a nice light wash of pink and man it was PINK. The website says there are only two metallic shades, Au Naurale and Jaybird, but I find that Exposed is more metallic than shimmery. These shades are goregous and super reflective but are a little hard to work with. Laura (and the website) suggests to use a glitter glue or a wet brush with these shades. I tried the wet brush method and while it was beautiful, I did get a ton of fallout. I have yet to tried it with glitter glue since I don’t own any. The shimmers, besides exposed, are very easy to work with and both a brush and finger work well. There is a nice mix of warm toned and cool toned shades, so it is a very inclusive warm palette.

When I saw this palette I was blown away and thought it was beautiful. And then I got the palette and opened it and was like…what look do I do. I like the palette, but I find that the shades are not ones that I really gravitate to. I have created some nice looks from this palette and will continue to use it, but of her two palettes I prefer her other one more.

And that is my overall review of the Laura Lee Los Angeles new palette! Let me know if there are any other palette that you want me to review. Should I do a palette collection post? Let me know!

Beauty, Boxycharm, Review

February Boxycharm

by LeaLeave a Comment on February Boxycharm

Hey guys! I know I am quite late on this post, but to be fair I got my box really late this month. Anyways, I have never missed a month since I got my Boxycharm subscription, and I am not letting a late box ruin that streak! So here is my review (only a week late haha). This month’s theme was Galaxy Glow, so there are some pretty fun items that I might not necessarily wear every day, but are still pretty fun to have.

feb 1

First is the CoverFX Shimmer Veil in the shade Amethyst. This is a creme product that has multiple uses and it crease-proof. It can be used on the eyes or the face. The purple shade might not be the most approachable shade, but I really enjoyed it the day I wore it. It also did not crease and lasted at day which is great for a creme shadow. Overall, not a product I would wear all the time, but does exactly what it claims! Price: $28.00

Next is a pretty cool product! The Naked Cosmetics Holographic Highlighter Palette is not your average highlight palette. It has all the colours of the rainbow! I was very impressed by the quality of this palette. The colours were very vibrant and showed up very well on my skin. The powders are quite pigmented. Now I personally don’t work a green highlight every day, but this palette is very fun and I will definitely use it for some more fun makeup looks. Price: $38.00

The lip product for this month that I received was the PUR X-Faux Lip Plumping Lip Exfoliator. This product is not bad, but I personally don’t like the packaging. This does a good job of hydrating and exfoliating my lips, but I’m not sure how much plumping it does. I also wish this was in a flat-twist-up-lip-balm like tube instead of a point. I found the point to be weird and it actually broke off for me. Personally wished I had gotten the other lip exfoliator they were giving in the box last month, but oh well! Price: $17.00

Next is the Smokey Eye Pencil by Vintage Cosmetics. I don’t often use black eyeliner pencils, I usually use liquid ones instead. This one wasn’t bad – it was very creamy and intense and glided on the lid pretty well. I want to try and do a smokey eye with this eye pencil since it’s what the pencil is advertised to be used for. Price: $21.00

By far my favourite product this month is the Crown Pro Trio Brush Set. I always love getting makeup brushes in my box, because Boxycharm always gives good quality ones that I would normally not buy myself. These Crown brushes are no exception. They are soft and apply powder products like a dream. The largest powder brush has now become my favourite brush to apply bronzer with. I have no tried using these brushes with cream products, but apparently they are designed to work well with those too. These brushes are also very pretty, which is always nice! Price: $29.99

And that was my belated February Boxycharm review! Here’s to hoping that my March box comes sooner this month!

January Boxycharm 2018

by Lea3 Comments on January Boxycharm 2018

Hey guys! Today on the blog is the first Boxycharm review of 2018! Like I mentioned in December, I accidentally received an item I have got in a previous box in December, so I got an extra item in my January box. So while everyone else didn’t get this item, I will still review it for you guys.

Jan 1

First is the Crown Brushes Glam Metals Palette. I haven’t really use this palette.  The shades just don’t excite me. As well this shades are not ones I would reach for on an everyday basis so I honestly have only used this palette once. Also I don’t like how the only matte shade is the black. If a palette is going to be all simmers then I have to really like the palette. Not my favourite palette I have received in my Boxycharm. Price: $25.00 USD

Next is the PUR Bronze and Brighten Check Palette. I don’t understand what PUR did, but I do not like the bronzer in the palette. It is too warm, glittery and does not blend. Which is so weird because I love their other bronzer. The blush in this palette is super pigmented but still nice. I just have to apply with a light hand. Finally the highlight is nice, but very light. Good for people with a paler complexion but not universal, I probably couldn’t wear it in the summer. If the bronzer was better I would enjoy this palette, but it sucks so I don’t enjoy the palette as much. Price: $34.00 USD

I didn’t think I was going to like the Dr. Brandt Pores No More Luminizer Primer. I’ve never tried a luminizing primer before because I have oily skin so I generally don’t need help making my skin look dewy. But I decided to try this primer and I really liked it! I does a really good job of making my makeup look smooth and not cakey. Now while it does say that it is a pore minimizing primer, it’s not as good as the Benefit or Smashbox primers. I will definitely use this primer again when I want a smooth look to my makeup. Price: $38.00 USD

Next is the It Cosmetics Brow Powder Universal Eyebrow Pencil. I once again didn’t think I would like this product but I was pleasantly surprised. The consistency of the pencil is great – not too creamy and not too hard. I wish the pencil was a little smaller but it still possible to get a nice defined brow. Also, I dyed my hair a shade darker half way through testing the brow pencil and found it nicely matched me with both lighter and darker hair colours. I do think there is a limit to how dark or light this pencil could work for, but I think it would work for the majority of hair colours. I will continue to use with pencil. Price: $25.00 USD, $32.00 CAD

Another product I really liked was the Girlactik Matte Lip Paint. I received the shade Posh. I really liked this liquid lipstick! It was easy to apply, and was very comfortable on the lips. It also did not emphasize any of the lines on my lips. It also wore really nicely through the day, and was able to withstand eating to a certain degree. Overall really love this liquid lip! Price: $23.00 USD, $28.35 CAD

*Bonus Product* I got the Makeup Geek Eye Liner in Plumeria. It’s a beautiful purple shade with red undertones. The eyeliner was easy to apply and stayed all day. It was actually pretty hard to remove. It was also easy to smoke out using a pencil brush. This shade also made my hazel eyes look very green. A great bonus item to receive!

The final total of my box is $144. It’s funny because the products I didn’t think I would like ended up being my favourites! What did you guys think of January’s box?

Beauty Empties

by Lea1 Comment on Beauty Empties

Hey guys! So today I am sharing a bunch of beauty, skincare and hair empties, letting you guys know my thoughts on the products and whether I would buy them again! I’ve been meaning to do this post for awhile so here it is!

20171007_125457(1)

First I have two empty bottles of the Garnier Miscellar Water. If you guys have been following my bog for a bit, you would know that this stuff is my favourite miscellar water. I prefer using miscellar water instead of using face wipes, it does such a gentle job of removing all my face water, and leaves it feel refreshed after. If you’re looking for a miscellar water, highly recommend this stuff.

Next I have an empty bottle of St. Ives Fresh Exfoliating Apricot Scrub. I remember reading somewhere that some celebrity really likes this scrub so I decided to try it out. I only used this scrub in the shower for some reason, just because I’m lazy like that. The combination of the scrub and shower makes my skin feel a little dry after, but it also makes my skin feel really smooth. It’s an amazing product, but I did buy it again because it is a reasonable price.

It seems like I went through a lot of dry shampoo, but the funny is that I actually finished three of these dry shampoos on the same day because they were are almost empty. First there are two Batiste ones, the Tropical and the XXL Volume. I really like both of the Batiste dry shampoos. They do a good job of getting rid of grease and stays that way all day. They do have a white cast, but it goes away easily. I also was surprised at how much I enjoyed the XXL Volume. If you are looking for a voluminous dry shampoo, this one goes a good job. The Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo I got in my Boxycharm. It was nice but I didn’t like it as much as my Batiste ones. It gave a nice scent to the hair, but I found by like 5pm by hair looked greasy again. Finally was the Dove Dry Shampoo, which was okay. I only used it when I ran out of my other dry shampoos.

My next skincare empty is the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel with SPF 15. I liked this product so much that I bought a second one, but now using the second one I’m not so sure I like it anymore. My face was breaking out when I was using this product, but I haven’t for sure figured out if it was this product or something else that was breaking out my face. It might be the SPF that my face doesn’t like, because my face is really sensitive to SPF. I’m really on the fence about this product. I think I want to switch and get one of Neutrogena’s moisturizes that doesn’t have SPF in it.

Another makeup remover I finished is the Marcelle Gentle Make-up Remover for Sensitive Eyes. I prefer a more oily makeup remover to get rid of my eye makeup, I just find it’s better at removing stubborn mascara. I decided to try this Marcelle one because it has good reviews. It was good, but I found it was really oily. Like after I was done removing my eye makeup, I would have to back over with my micellar water to remove the excess oil. It was good, but I did not repurchase because I also found it to be a tad expensive compared to other drugstore remover.

You can tell I bought my All Nighter Setting Spray awhile ago because it is in the old packaging. I have repurchased the product since then, and I am actually getting close to finishing it.  This Urban Decay setting spray is by far my favourite that I own. It really does a good job of making my makeup last longer. It was gives a beautiful finish to my skin. Highly recommend!!

Finally, I finished my POREfessional Face Primer by Benefit Cosmetics. I have also repurchased this primer. What I like about this primer is that it not only feels in my pores and makes them feel smooth, it also makes my face more matte. I have very oily skin, so I really need help making my face matte. This is a staple product that I use almost every day!

Those are all my empty products! Let me know what products you guys finished and think I should try!

Kat Von D Sephora Mini Box First Impressions

by Lea4 Comments on Kat Von D Sephora Mini Box First Impressions

Hey guys! Before Christmas I went to Sephora and I used my points to get a box full of mini Kat Von D samples. Unfortunately the box is not available anymore (sorry I just opened the box this week), but I thought I would still you guys my first impressions on these products, since all the full size products do exist.

Photo 2018-01-10, 12 28 48 PM

First I received a little hand mirror with the KVD logo on it. Next I got samples of her new perfumes, Saint and Sinner. While I like both of the perfumes, I prefer Saint. Saint is a sweeter perfume, with notes of Vanilla, Musk and Jasmine. I find that the musk is not too heavy, and instead I really smell the jasmine. I actually like Saint so much I might get the full size. Sinner is still very nice, and actually I got complimented on it when I was wearing it – it’s very strong just something to keep in mind. The notes are patchouli, wood and cinnamon. I personally have a few perfumes that smell like Sinner, but if you like heavier scents this one is nice.

Next I tried out the infamous Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. This eyeliner was alright. First off, I prefer brush tip or felt tip. Secondly, I don’t know if this was because it was a mini, but I find that I had to close the cap and reshape the liner quite often when trying to do wing eyeliner. This eyeliner is very black though which is nice. This eyeliner is nice but I don’t think I’ll be abandoning my brush liner for this one.

I was very excited to try the Lock-it Setting Powder because I have heard really good reviews of it, and lately I’ve been on a setting powder kick. Overall I think I need to try this powder more to get a definite opinion on it. It did a good job of setting my fair and giving my face a nice matte finish, but I was very greasy by the end of the day. Now this powder does not claim to be long lasting, but either way I want to test it more.

Finally I got a sample of the Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in the shade Nahz Fur Atoo, which is a nice blood crimson. I really like this shade and I got many compliments on it, but I did find it to be a little patchy. I had to go over my lips a few times to get the colour really opaque, but it lasted really nicely through the day. Even after eating the lipstick was still almost perfectly intact. It was a little drying, but that is a common compliant of these liquid lipsticks. I do think I will wear this again, just because I like the shade so much.

And here is a look I did with these products. I hope you guys enjoyed this little first impression post!

Drugstore Makeup Haul + Review

by Lea2 Comments on Drugstore Makeup Haul + Review

When you buy a bunch of makeup to do a haul and then totally forget to post about it (haha oops)! So back in October I bought a bunch of new drugstore makeup. Now most of it is not new anymore, but I can give a pretty good review on these products!

drugstore makeup haul

First I decided to repurchase the Neutrogena Hypdo Boost Gel Cream with SPF 15. I have enjoyed this moisturizer in the past so I decided to buy it again. I have oily skin so the gel formula is much better for my skin type.

Next I got the Milani Make It Last Setting Spray. I have been trying to get this setting spray for so long, it was always sold out at my local drugstore. I was finally able to get my hands on it and I’m really happy with it! It does a great job at setting my makeup and making it looking very matte. A nice drugstore alternative to the Urban Decay All Nighter.

Next from Maybelline I got the Fit Me Loose Setting Powder. This is a nice, smooth setting powder. The only issue I have is that there is no transculent shade. For some reason I decided to get Light Medium, which matches my face but is too yellow to go under my eyes. Overall it’s a good powder, I just wish I had got a different shade.

I got two different lippies in a similar formula. First I got the Covergirl Melting Pout Liquid Lipstick in Gel-ful. The second I purchased was the Maybelline Color Jolt in Stripped Down. Of the two I prefer the Maybelline one. It is much more pigmented, lasts longer and is much more comfortable to wear. I found that the Covergirl one was much more likely to smudge all over the place. As well, the Maybelline is much more a nude while the Covergirl one is more pink.

Next I got the NYX HD Concealer in Beige. I really like the formula of this concealer. It is creamy and blends out easily. I would say that it is medium coverage – it does a good job of covering up my acne but it does not completely cover my dark circles under my eyes. I have the shade Beige which would nicely under my eyes when I was tan but is now too yellow since I am back to being pale! But it still works on the rest of my face.

My drugstore has always had a really small selection of Wet n Wild products, but has recently expanded! I was able to find the Wet n Wild PhotoFinish Foundation and their Megaglo Highlighting Powder. I got the shade Soft Beige in the foundation and Precious Petals in the highlight. I really like the foundation! I have been wearing it almost very day since I got it. I has a nice medium-to-full coverage and blends out easily. It looks nice with a brush or a sponge. Now that my tan has faded I could probably use a lighter shade, but I just mix it with a paler foundation and it still works nicely. I really like how it has a paddle applicator because it makes it easy to apply. I am also very happy with the highlighter! The shade Precious Petals isn’t like anything else I own – it’s a peachy-champagne colour which I really like on my skin. It’s not as pigmented as my Becca highlighters, but for a drugstore highlight it is really easy to build up to a nice glow. I would definitely recommend both of these products! And for my Canadian friends, I found them at Rexall Pharma Plus.

And that is it for my drugstore makeup haul! I really like do drugstore makeup hauls because they are much cheaper than Sephora haha! Let me know your thoughts on these products and any recommendations you guys have 🙂

November Boxycharm

by Lea2 Comments on November Boxycharm

Hey guys! A couple days late but here is my November Boxycharm review! This month’s theme was Sweater Weather which I thought was really cute. I also liked how the card was pink and most of the products were pink too!

nov 1

First product is the Cover FX Illuminating Setting Spray. I actually thought I was going to hate this setting spray! I have very oily skin so I generally don’t go for illuminating products but mattifying products. But after reading the great views on Sephora I decided to give it a try. I don’t hate this product, but it’s not something I’m going to use every day. The spray comes out in a very fine mist which is nice. It does a good job at setting my face, but I didn’t notice it prolonging my makeup (but it isn’t supposed to anyways, so…). The key is to really shake the product before using it. It sprays out little glitter particles on your face, so if you don’t shake it well you will get glitter all over your face. Overall I think this setting spray is nice for nights out where I don’t mind having little glitter particles on my face, but not an every day product for me. But I will definitely use it again! Price: $31.00

nov 2

Next is the Winky Lux Kitten Palette. This is a pretty okay palette. It is very nice quality, the shades are creamy and pigmented. I feel like the shades are similar to ones I have in other palettes EXCEPT the shade Holographic. The name is a little misleading, because it’s more of a duo-chrome shade than holographic but it’s beautiful (4th shade from the top in the swatches). I don’t own anything like it! So I will probably keep the palette around for a little bit just because of that shade haha! Price: $25.00

nov 3

Next is the LAQA & Co. Cloud Lips in the shade Storm. I was very excited to try this matte lipstick because it is a beautiful dark berry shade. I was thoroughly disappointed. This lipstick is very patchy, as you can see from the swatches above. One swipe was patchy, and even after I tried to layering the product it still wasn’t fully opaque. Now to be very it is very hard to make dark shades, so the other shades might be better quality. I will probably never wear this lipstick if I’m being honest. Price: $17.00

Next are the KNC Beauty Collagen Lip Masks. I still haven’t tried these, sorry guys! I’m sure I will eventually use them, but I just haven’t found the time to try them yet. Let me know your thoughts on these lip masks if you have tried them! Price: $15.00

Finally, my favourite product of the box, the Luxie Beauty Quad Eye Travel Set. I really like the quality of Luxie Beauty brushes, but since they’re expensive it’s really nice to get them in my box. This set came with four eye brushes. The only thing I don’t like is that they are mini brushes, so I find they get lost in the bucket I keep all my brushes in. But the mini size will be nice to travel with! Price: $32.00

And that is it for my November Box. Overall not a bad box, only one product that was a dud! Total price is $120. Did you get the same things as me? Let me know your thoughts on these products!

Laura Lee Palette Review

by Lea1 Comment on Laura Lee Palette Review

Hey guys! So today’s post will be a review of the Laura Lee’s first eyeshadow palette, Cat’s Pajamas. For those of you who have been following me for a while, you might that Laura Lee is probably one of my favourite beauty Youtubers. So when she came out with her own makeup brand, Laura Lee Los Angeles, I knew I was going to buy her first product. The palette retails for $40 USD. The palette is currently out of stock, but it’s restock date it being announced Friday.

Laura Lee palette 1

The eyeshadow comes with 10 eyeshadow, which equals out to $4 per eyeshadow. I know some people had issue with the price, but I think that it’s worth it. The quality of the palette itself is nice. It comes with a mirror inside and also the packaging is so pretty! I love the sparkly outside, I can just sit and look at it forever. I think the price is reasonable, and comparable to prices that you would see for palettes in Sephora.

I think was also makes this palette so worth it is the quality of these shadows. They are amazing and everything I want in a shadow. They a creamy and pigmented. There is a little extra shadow when you dip your brush into the pan, but nothing crazy. The shimmery eyeshadows have a little fallout, but they are so pigmented that you don’t need to use any setting spray to make the shadow look good. Honestly it is such good quality, and I would say they are similar in texture and performance to the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe palette.

laura lee palette 2

Finally I really like the colour selection. The top row has some warm browns, a gold and brown shade. The brown shade has purple and mauve shades. These are my personal favourite shades to wear on my eyes. Something I really like about this palette is that there is a matte cream shade. I hate when this kind of shade isn’t in a palette because I need a shade like this to set my eyeshadow primer. I think there palette is very well rounded; I have created both every day eye looks as well as bold glam looks. I think the only thing I would like is many instead of two similar purple shades a cool toned brown shade. This palette is definitely warmed toned, but I think one cool tone shade would be nice to use with the purple shades.

Overall I think this palette is amazing. I am very happy that I got it because I have used it so much, and I think this would be an excellent palette to travel with. I would highly recommend this palette to you guys. I am really excited to see what else Laura Lee comes out!

Jaclyn Hill Palette + Morphe Brushes

by LeaLeave a Comment on Jaclyn Hill Palette + Morphe Brushes

Hey guys! Sorry for being really MIA this month, I’ve just been really busy with school. But I am going to try and be way more active from now on!

jaclyn hill palette

So today I have my full review and swatches of the Jaclyn Hill palette. I was hesitant at first whether or not I wanted the palette. I decided to wait and read the reviews before buying it. After reading multiple good reviews I made up my mind that I wanted the palette, but it was sold out! I was finally able to purchase the palette when it restocked in late September. I received my palette and brushes about a week and a half later.

This palette is beautiful. There is a wide range of shades and colours – this palette just makes me inspired and wanting to create different makeup looks. This palette is definietely more warm toned, but there a few cooler tones through the palette. There is also a nice balance between mattes and shimmers. Also there are some really fun shades down in the bottom left corner. The only shade that I believe is missing is a bone/cream coloured matte shadow to set my eyeshadow primer with. Bellow I have swatched all the colours, and included pictures with both flash on and flash off.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

The formula of these shadows are amazing. Honestly these are probably some of the creamiest mattes I have ever used. The blend really easily on the eye which is super important to me. There is a bit fallout in the pan but none on the eyes with the mattes. There is a little fallout with the shimmery shades on the eyes, but nothing too bad. The shimmery shades are so creamy and pigmented that I feel that I do not even need to wet like some other shadows. The eyeshadows are just so easy to use that every look I have done with this palette is good!

Overall I love this palette. It is probably the best eye shadow palette that I own. It is even more amazing that it is such a great price! I highly recommend that everyone picks up this palette!

morphe brushes

I also got two different brushes. The first brush is the Y6 Pro Flat Buffer. One of my favourite Youtubers, Laura Lee, loves this foundation brush so I decided to give it a try. And I must say this brush is AMAZING. It does such a great job of seamlessly blending out my foundation and it is a great size. The only issue I have is it’s a little big and awkward around my nose piercing because it’s a flat top instead of rounded, but I love this brush regardless of this small flaw. If you like using brushes to blend out your foundation you need to get this brush.

The other brush I got was the R31 Highlight Definer. This brush is pretty good. It’s a little big but still does a good job. What I really like is that it’s not completely rounded but has two sides, so I use one side with gold highlights and the other side with rosy highlights. Overall it’s a pretty decent brush and I would recommend if you like bigger highlight brushes.

And that is it for my review of some great Morphe products! Both times that I have ordered from them I have been really happy with what I got. What are some other Morphe products that you think I should try? Let me know!

August Boxycharm

by Lea2 Comments on August Boxycharm

Hey guys! Sorry for being really late on this post. Last week I was helping out with my school’s Frosh Week so I was super busy. I still wanted to make a post about my August Boxycharm because it had some really amazing products!

august 1

The theme this month was Beach Please which I think is a great theme for summer.

august 4

The first item in the box is probably my favourite in the box. It is the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea: Volume II eyeshadow palette. The shades are cool toned and are of a nice range to make various looks. There is also a mixture of shimmers and mattes. This is my first Tarte palette so I was surprised when I found out that the eye shadows are not as powdered compared to other brand’s shadows. This just means I have to dip my brush in a little more in comparison to other shadows, but a pro is that there is not powder all my the place. Overall I really like this palette. I will definitely continue to use it and might consider buying another Tarte Palette in the future. Price: $36.00 USD

Next I got a Waterproof Gel Eyeliner by Bellapierre. This is a mediocre product. It works well but it isn’t the best eyeliner I’ve ever used. As well, I feel like black eyeliner is not the most exciting product to receive in a beauty box. Price: $15.00 USD

august 5

This month’s lip product is the #GRLPWR Liquid Lipstick from The Beauty Crop. I got the shade Date Night. I actually enjoy this Liquid Lipstick. It’s a nice shade and is comfortable to wear. It did wear off when I ate food and drank water, but it didn’t wear away weirdly. Overall a pretty good lippie. Price: $14.95

august 3

Next I got the Moda Pro 3-Piece Brush Set from Royal & Langnickel. I am always happy to get brushes in my box just because you can never have too many brushes! I was so excited that I used the brushes before taking a picture of them! I really enjoy these brushes, they are super soft and apply product really nicely. The set included a pointed blush, a chisel blender (good for contour) and a crease brush. Royal & Langnickel makes some great brushes! Price: $26.00 USD

august 2

Finally I got a set of Pro Eyelashes from PUR Cosmestics. I am really excited to have these but I have yet to try them on. I don’t often wear false lashes, and I just haven’t had the time/chance to try them out. False lashes, especially expensive ones, are not something I would normally buy so it is nice to receive a pair in the box for me to try out. Price: $14.00 USD

Overall I think this was a pretty good box. There was a variety of products and most of them worked very well! Total price: $105.95

Now that I am back to school, I am hoping to post more regularly once I fall into a schedule. As well, I have an exciting back to school haul coming soon!

xoxo
