I decided to do my November 2016 Boxycharm review a little differently. Instead of just reviewing each item, I thought I'd show you how they looked in a mini tutorial. I did my Thanksgiving makeup using all of the products from the box, and I must say, this might just be the best Boxycharm ever. … Continue reading Subscription Box Review (and Mini Tutorial): Thanksgiving Makeup Using November 2016 Boxycharm

Palette Review: Studio Makeup On-The-Go Palette in Cool Down (Boxycharm, November 2016)
Studio Makeup has done it again--they've created another palette that has quickly become my go-to for cool-toned eyeshadows. I received the Studio Makeup On-The-Go Palette in "Cool Down" in this month's Boxycharm (a full review of that box will be up next week) but I wanted to review just the palette here, since it was … Continue reading Palette Review: Studio Makeup On-The-Go Palette in Cool Down (Boxycharm, November 2016)
Subscription Box Review: Boxycharm, October 2016
Boxycharm has done it again. This month's Boxy Bazaar themed-box was an excellent collection of products, with enough variety and innovation to push me out of my comfort zone and make me try a liquid bronzer and foiled gold eyeshadow! Once again, Boxycharm has reminded me why I'm so glad I subscribed! So let's get … Continue reading Subscription Box Review: Boxycharm, October 2016
Review: Temptu Shimmer Bronzer (Boxycharm October 2016)
For the last month, I have challenged myself to try new formulas of products I love. Typically, this means trying a liquid or cream version of a products that I usually prefer as a powder: eyeshadow, contour, bronzer. I've done this in part because I've had some version of a cold or sinus infection since … Continue reading Review: Temptu Shimmer Bronzer (Boxycharm October 2016)
Subscription Box Review: Play! by Sephora, September 2016
I'm going to call this box "the best of the basics." While I don't subscribe to Sephora (or any subscription box service) to get makeup basics, as I discussed in my last Ipsy bag review, I do appreciate that in this box, Sephora did the basics really, really well. This is what makes me love the … Continue reading Subscription Box Review: Play! by Sephora, September 2016
Subscription Box Review: Boxycharm September 2016
Boxycharm has done it again. It's my second month of subscribing to this box, and I can't imagine how they'll be able to top this one. I've already done a review of my favorite item in the box, the Studio Makeup On-The-Go Eyeshadow Palette (and mentioned it in my September monthly favorites) so I'll review … Continue reading Subscription Box Review: Boxycharm September 2016
Studio Makeup On the Go Palette (September 2016 Boxycharm)
I typically do a review of each subscription box I receive, but the palette in this month's Boxycharm is so good I thought it deserved a post of its own. (And if I combined it with the subscription box review, it would rival my master's thesis in length.) So let's talk about the Studio Makeup … Continue reading Studio Makeup On the Go Palette (September 2016 Boxycharm)
Subscription Box Review: Boxycharm August 2016
I'm so excited: my first Boxycharm arrived last week, and I am already in love with this subscription box! If you read my recent Why I Cancelled Ipsy post, you know that I decided that I was ready for a subscription service that sent full-size products. I loved sampling makeup, haircare, and skincare from many … Continue reading Subscription Box Review: Boxycharm August 2016
Why I Cancelled Ipsy, and Why I Will Always Love Ipsy
I recently cancelled my Ipsy subscription after a year and a half of receiving those enticing pink envelopes in the mail once a month. I joined Ipsy to force me to try new things, and they accomplished that in droves. I decided to cancel recently because after subscribing to Play! by Sephora, I decided that … Continue reading Why I Cancelled Ipsy, and Why I Will Always Love Ipsy
