Hello all! Today I wanted to share what I received in my December 2017 Boxycharm. I have been the worst with this blog and I missed unboxing from September to November. I will have a post up this week which talks about some of the products I received in those boxes. Without further ado, here is what I got for December 2017.
The first thing I received was the “Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara” ($23.00). I was super excited to get this. I had tried a sample from Sephora as a point perk a long while back, and I remember really enjoying this. Also, I never really buy full sized high end mascaras to try (except my beloved Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes). I can’t wait to give this a go when I run out of my other mascaras!
The next thing that was in my box was the RealHer blush kit ($32.00). I wasn’t sure if I would love this when I first opened the palette. On one hand, I’ve been loving shimmery blushes lately. However, when I first swatched this, the colors did not seem vibrant, and the consistency seemed chalky. Yet, I have been enjoying this so far. The colors are nice on the cheeks. It’s not my favorite product ever, but I do like it.
The third product I received was the Bellapierre concealer palette. I’m not sure if this has been discontinued but I cannot find this online. I actually still really enjoy color correcting, even though the trend has kind of died down. During the winter my red, dry skin needs some serious help. This palette is pretty nice. I’m not a huge fan of the orange, but the green in my Stila Correct and Perfect palette has seen better days, so I was thrilled to receive another green shade. I will say the packaging on this is horrendous. It is super difficult to open the compact up. But, all in all, I enjoy this product.
I love when I receive brushes in my Boxycharm. This month I was lucky enough to get the Crown blush brush. This brush is dense, which is a bit different than my typical Real Techniques blush brush. The bristles are certainly soft. The handle feels a bit cheap, but I enjoy the look of the brush over all. Brushes are something I never buy, so I love trying out new ones.
Finally, I received a very exciting product. I am finally able to try Pretty Vulgar, with the “My Lips Are Sealed” ($24.00) liquid lip in “Weeping Willow.” I have yet to try this product on the lips, but I’ve been wanting to try the brand for quite some time since its hyped up Sephora launch. This color is stunning, and reminds me a great deal of Ofra’s “Coven”, so I can’t wait to actually wear it. In addition, the packaging is just stunning.
That’s what I received in this months Boxycharm! Do you guys get Boxycharm? What variation did you get!?
Until next time!
