BoxyCharm October Box - Unboxing

After last month's broken palette, leaking perfume & slow as molasses shipping, I was prepared for another BoxyCharm mishap this month. Scroll on to find out how October turned out for me.

Anya's November Ipsy Bag

COM

This month's Ipsy bag was huge! Everything was either full-sized or neat full-sized. Plus there's an extra item.

  • be a bombshell lip crayon "shameless"
  • nailtini lacquer "Caviar Cocktail"
  • pixi Beauty Bronzer "Subtly Suntouched"
  • Cailyn mineral eyeshadow "Champagne"
  • .em - pillow plush cushiony lip balm "lollipop"
  • Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil "Topaz"
I haven't had a chance to try any of it. November was a busy month.

Here's what was in my Ipsy bag this month:

  • Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in "Big Apple"
  • Nyx eye shadow in "Pure Gold"
  • Starlooks Kohl Eye Pencil in "Obsidian"
  • It's so BIG! volumizing mascara
  • Freeman Feeling Beautiful facial masques
    • Facial brightening
    • Facial purifying
    • Facial hydrating

The lip balm isn't really my color and y'all know what happened the last time I tried one of these face mask things. I likely won't try these. That means they'll go into a nice big pot for a giveaway (if my beauty bag buddies don't claim them first).

I've liked everything I've had from Nyx so far so I suspect I'll adore the gold shadow.

That only leaves the mascara and eye pencil...I suspect it'll take me a few weeks before I get the chance to try them. So, as always, if they're super awesome, I'll do a post devoted to them.

Despite these notes, I'm pleased with this month's bag. Thanks, Ipsy! <3

Anya's June Ipsy Bag

Here's what came in my Ipsy bag this month:
  • J. Cat Beauty - Eyelashes + Eyelash Glue "EL20"
  • J. Cat Beauty - Sparkling Cream Palette "Volta"
  • Nyx Blush PB21 "Copper"
  • Starlooks Lip Pencil "Bare"
  • Chella ivory lace highlighter pencil
I realized I hadn't ever posted this. I've actually not tried any of the products yet. I know, I'm seriously slacking this month. Feel free to smack me. I deserved it. 

But you should check out Melissa's Ipsy post and see the mess the J.cats sparkling Cream made of her hand.

This is what I received in my Ipsy bag this month. I'm loving that each item is full size!


Starlooks Lip Pencil (K337 Tipsy) - I honestly think this item is a tad bit odd since Starlooks is another make up subscription company. Not sure why you would want it in a competitors box. Product-wise, I don't use lip pencils, so this will be going to a friend.
Update: I take back what I said, I swatched it and it's super creamy, and really pigmented. Color me impressed.
NYX Blush: PB14 Spice - I've been dying to get a NYX blush for awhile now and this color is super pigmented. Can't wait to use this!
J.Cat Beauty Sparkling Cream Palette: Suzie - Not really my style, but I'll try it out.
Update: Tried it out and no. NO! My hand was invaded by glitter. Don't fall for its tricks.

Cailyn Cosmetics Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner with Brush Built-In: Purple - I received the color purple. I'm not actually going to use this since I have 3-4 other gel liners waiting on me.
J.Cat Beauty Eyelash + Eyelash Glue: UN13 - YAY I <3 lashes! Side note: They're 100% human hair. That kind of terrifies me.

I'll update this post with reviews or do a new post if I really like the item(s).

What items did you get in your Ipsy this month?

I got my February Starlooks box today! There is a lot of pink in the box this month if you couldn't tell. The only thing that isn't pink is the lip gloss, which is purple-ish, but named Pink Oasis.

Curated by Lauren Clark
Gel Liner
HD Blush - This is INSANELY pigmented
Lip Gloss
Lip Pencil
L to R: HD Blush, Lip Pencil, Lip Gloss, Gel Liner
After trying to wash it off. I had to SCRUB the blush and gel liner off and both didn't fully remove. The crazy thing is I used a tiny drop of the HD blush
