My unboxing of the Allure Beauty Box. Review coming soon!

Starlooks November 2015

I’m slightly late getting this written. I’ve been lazy. Anyone out there enjoy Starlooks? They have some great products and some not my favorite. But for $12/month, it’s a great deal. I have repurchased some items I’ve gotten in the past.

Starlooks is a monthly subscription box. For $12 you get 3 deluxe sample size products from their line. Fun to try out some newbies.

This month is shimmering future.. included in a cute box are 3 items.

1. Golden Ticket gold liquid eyeliner. It’s gorgeous, bright and very gold. Great for a glam look.

2. Fortune 500 eyeshadow duo. Two very shimmery eye shadows…one is a gold and one camel brown.

3. Opulence lip crayon in a very dark plum. It’s almost black and not a color I can pull off. It’s a creamy , well pigmented crayon. Smells like chocolate too. But man it’s dark.

If you are interested in joining, check it out. Very good product and price.

It’s Julep, Julep, Julep time!

I am in love with Julep. I had gotten out of the habit of nail polish until I tried Julep. You just can’t beat the value and quality.

Julep is a monthly subscription for $24.99/month. You can always cancel…  They have some promotions where you can get your first box free but you pay shipping which is $4.99 I think. I’ll post a link below.

This month I decided on all polishes and picked what I thought would be great for the fall.

I received three polishes. Two I have on and one I yet to try.
The products are as follows:

Bombshell Cheyenne matte metallic. This color is mulberry rusty mix. It’s metallic and matte and gorgeous. Dries incredibly fast. Mine were fully dry in under 3 minutes and just air dry.

Next is It Girl Rashida. This again is a matte metallic and the color is a goldish color but kinda darker almost copper but not quite. Same formula. Dries very fast.

Lastly, Wonder Maven in Kris. It’s a beautiful silver glitter. Like I said I haven’t used it yet but can’t wait.

Peaches and Petals Subscription Box

This subscription box is a new find for me. At $14.99 per month it’s a steal as well. I really was surprised to see the great items included for such a bargain. I received my very first box in October and this is what is featured in this review.

To begin with, my box was quite large, making it that much more exciting to unbox. I  couldn’t wait to see what goodies awaited.

Here is the box first look. Like many subscription boxes, it came all wrapped in pretty tissue paper with an information card and spoiler for next month. 

So, lets dive right in. The first item and the largest is this beautiful Elizabeth Arden tote bag. The information card lists it at a $40 retail value/$10.99.  It is a large bag with a patent, water resistant finish. I love the block color combination too. Nice!

Next is this cute magnetic postcard. Anne Taintor Sassy Magnetic Postcard retail value $2.99/$2.38. Very cute retro design.

Finally there is a box labeled Smashbox, Barielle and Sally Hanson. Ooh what do we have in here??? Can’t wait!! 

The first item I pull out is this Barielle Pro Essentials skin cream. It smells lovely and is rich and thick. A wonderful moisturizer. This is a full sized har and retail valued at $14.99/$7.71.

Next is this gorgeous lilac Sally Hanson nail polish. Again this is full size and beautiful. I love this pearl-esc purple. It’s lovely. Retail value $3.99/$5.78

Finally, my favorite item is this Smashbox Trio Eyeshadow. It’s the perfect neutral browns for everyone and every day. Very nice. Retail valued at $28/14.99.

Overall this box is quite nice. I have not researched all the prices to compare the listed retail value and what you might find them listed at other retailers. I will try to get that info updated as soon as possible. UPDATE: I have researched prices on Amazon and will post the Amazon price after each description above. The second value is the Amazon price……  Regardless, you get way more than your money’s worth. My calculation even at the Amazon prices is over $40.  This is a great box to get in on. I added a Big Fat Sexy Hair hairspray to my box for an additional $7. Every month they have an add on item offered at a discount if you are interested. They also have a generous reward system.

Why not try it today? I will post a link if you want to join.

I’m a Julep Maven! See October 2015 box!

I have not ever really worn much nail polish, but after getting my first Julep Maven box, I am hooked. The quality of these polishes is phenomenal. I can easily get 2 weeks out of my manicure before needing to redo. The polishes are super long wearing and provide a wonderful finish. One thing though. They take quite a while to dry and I typically use 2 coats for full coverage.

In my October box I received 2 polishes and one blush. I did not pick any of mine because I love surprises but each month from the 20th to the 24th you can pick from available selections if you wish.

My first polish is a bombshell in Laurel. This is a nice matte black with a slight shimmer. Provides great coverage and long wear.

The other polish is so beautiful. It’s a Wonder Maven in Sherri with a stardust finish. The color is a bright and beautiful purple with a micro-glitter. I love this one. It’s gorgeous.

Finally, I got  a Your Happy Look pore minimizing blush in rosewood. It’s beautiful and the formula is so silky soft. I adore the color and it goes on so effortlessly. Just a lovely product..
