FabFitFun Summer 2018 Subscription Box Review

img_1241.jpg

My Summer FabFitFun box has arrived! I subscribed in 2016, but stopped at the end of the year.  My last box was Winter 2016.  I liked the subscription but wanted to try something else.

I’m back now.  I saw a spoiler (I’ll tell you which one below), and had to resubscribe!  You can join FabFitFun here.  This is a referral link.  You will get $10 off with it!

FabFitFun is a quarterly subscription box. Each season they send you a box of $200+ worth items in categories like beauty, fashion, and fitness. Ir Reatils for $49.9.  You can get and annual subscription $179.99 for 4 boxes. You can also choose a lot of your items with an annual subscription. This month, I received:

 Summer & Rose Beach Towel — $55.00                                                                                         tarte tarteist™ PRO glow highlight & contour palette — $45.00                                                 Pier 1 Imports Marble Ring Dish — $14.99                                                                                     Erth TU Y YO Ring — $55.00                                                                                                         FOREO LUNA! fofo — $89.00                                                                                                       COOLA Classic Face SPF 50 White Tea — $32.00                                                                     Vasanti Brighten Up! Enzymatic Face Rejuvenator — $29.00                                             ELEMIS Papaya Enzyme Peel — $45.00

Summer & Rose Beach Towel — This is a microfiber towel.  It’s very soft, but I don’t know how absorbent it is.  I’ll have to test it out at the pool!

IMG_1259

Pier 1 Imports Marble Ring Dish — This is gorgeous!  I like that it’s very classic looking and will work with all room decor.  The ERTH x Fab Fit Fun “Tu Y Yo” Ring is really cute.  I don’t know if it’s something I will wear, I may give it to my daughter for her birthday.

Foreo Luna Fofo — This is why I purchased the box.  I had a Foreo original size (a little bigger) before and loved it!  It cleans the face so nicely!  This is a brand new model.  It is powered by Bluetooth technology and advanced skin sensors to create a totally personalized profile, which is sent straight to the newly launched FOREO LUNA™ app. I’m excited to try this out!

tarte tarteist™ PRO glow highlight & contour palette — First of all, this smells amazing!  I think it’s supposed to be chocolate scented (I LOVE the scented makeup trend).I’ve just used this a few times.  I like the powder sculpt shade.  It’s a nice cool toned contour.  The top two shades match my skin tone and I really like them. I might try the other two as eye shadows.

I’m almost out of my SPF moisturizer, so I will be using the Coola face sunscreen.  It feels really nice on.  I haven’t tried the Elemis peel yet, but I will this weekend.  I did try the Vasanti scrub, and it left my skin so soft!  I think all of this skincare is amazing for the summer, my skin will be smooth and protected.

I really liked this box.  The value was amazing for $49.99.  The total of what I received was worth $364.99! I think this is the best box I received from them.  I definitely think I will stick around for the fall box.  I might even upgrade to annual to be able to choose more of my items.  We’ll see!

Sephora Black Friday Mini Haul

I went to Sephora yesterday to check out the Black Friday sales!  I have to say that I am so lucky to receive lots of beauty products for review, but that means I don’t buy myself a lot of makeup.  So I decided to do a little bit of shopping!

I purchased:

Sephora Collection Colorful Cleanse and Treat, tarte Precious Picks Color Set and an item I’ve had my eye on, Huda Beauty Mauve Obsessions eye shadow palette.

This set was only $10 and it includes the Avocado Face Mask, Lavender Foot Mask and Coconut Micellar Milk.  I chose this set because I was out of micellar cleansing water and I love trying new masks!  I’m kind of really excited about the foot mask, I  didn’t even know Sephora made them!

The tarte Precious Picks set includes Color Splash Lipstick in Surf’s Up (mauve), Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Ornate (rosy coral) and Lights, Camera, Lashes™ 4-in-1 Mascara. This was only $10!

I love this mascara, that’s why I bought the set, to try it again.  It sort of holds up, but I think my Benefit Roller Lash and IT Cosmetics Superhero work better to lengthen my lashes.

I haven’t tried the lipstick before.  It’s pretty, but a bit dark for me.  When I blotted it though, it turned matte and stayed for hours!  And tarte’s blushes are always amazing and this is a gorgeous shade.  Here are swatches:

The blush is soft on, but can be built up to a pretty flush.  The lipstick is a nice fall color.

I’ve been wanting this since it came out.  I’ve been interested in Huda Beauty’s eye shadow palettes, but I can’t afford the Desert Dusk Eyeshadow Palette which is what I really want.  I thought this would be a nice way to try the brand!

I purchased the Mauve Obessions, and now want the Warm Brown and the Smokey, I like this that much!  My favorites shades are the glitters, because I love a little sparkle!  The mattes are really pretty too and even though it’s such a little palette, it has enough shades for many complete eye looks.  I think for $27, this is a really great deal!  Here are swatches (sorry it’s blurry):

This is just one swipe each swatch.  You can see that the glitters are so gorgeous and can be used any day.  And I do think that this will be one of my go to daytime palettes, especially in the fall and winter.

Did you pick up any great makeup this weekend?

BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review – October 2017

I recently received my October Boxycharm! I have been subscribing for a few months now and have generally enjoyed it.

Boxycharm is just $21 a month for 5-6 beauty items, most of them full-sized.

 

The products I received this month are:

Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion – $58 USD

Becca Liquid Highlighter Prosecco Pop –  $41 USD

dls Eyeshadow Crayon — $14 USD

Tarte Tarteist™ Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in Pillowtalk – $20 USD

Jonteblu Lip Liner Pencil in Brown Sugar – $5 USD

There were variations.  I could have received the Becca highlighter in a pressed powder (which I wanted) or a nail accessory kit instead of the eye pencil. And the Tarte and Jonteblu products came in different shades.

I haven’t tried this before, but it gets great reviews from bloggers!  It claims to reduce the look of enlarged pores and mattifies shine. I will give it a try and probably will review it in the future.

I really wanted the pressed powder version of this!  I don’t use liquid highlighter.  I wasn’t even going to try it, but I swatched it on my hand (see it at the end of the post).  It’s very pretty!  It’s a shimmery gold and it’s not too dark.  So I might try it on my face and see if I like it.  I’ve read tips online to use it under eyes to brighten that area, but I think it’s too dark for my light skin to do that.  Still, I’ll have to play with it!

 

This is a pretty pinky bronze color!  It can be used as an eye primer or base.  It glides easily on, but doesn’t set, if that’s the type of eye product you like.  I don’t mind that it can transfer, because I layer powder shadow on top and it sets nicely.

The shade Pillowtalk is the lightest Tartiest lip color.  It is described as a white nude, and I agree.  It’s very pale on.  Since I am fair, it doesn’t wash me out too badly, but it looks like I am wearing a shade darker than my concealer on my lips! I tried the lip liner under it, but the Tarte product covers so well, I couldn’t even see the darker shade under it!  Oh well, I’ll see if one of my daughters want it.

What’s funny is that although the Tarte matte lippie didn’t work for my, this lip pencil makes a nice matte lip for me!  I line my lips, then color them in (I always do this with lip pencil, even if I’m going to wear another product over it).  The pretty Spice color gave me an amazing nude lip, not washed out at all!  The pencil is a little hard, but that does make it easy to shape my lips.  And it lasted a while on!

 

Swatches!  Left to right, the lip pencil, Tarte lippie, eye crayon and Becca highlighter.

Even though I was a little disappointed in this box when I received it, I am going to give most of the products a go!  I will try the dermabrasion and the highlighter, I’ll use the eye and lip pencil and only plan on giving away the lip color.  Not bad!

Next month already has some great spoilers including the CoverFX illuminating setting sprayWinky Luxe Kitten Palette and BoxyCharm x Luxie Quad Eye Travel Set Brushes!  I hope there are no variations on these products because I am excited for all of them!

Boxycharm Review — August 2017

My very first Boxycharm is here!  I haven’t subscribed to this box before, but I caved when I saw the amazing spoiler of a tarte palette!

Boxycharm is $21 a month and it is a makeup box, which means you receive mostly makeup and tools.  Yes, please!  To subscribe, visit boxycharm.com

There were a few different variations. The products in my August box are:

PUR Pro Eyelashes in Diva – $14

The Beauty Crop #GRLPOWER Liquid Lipstick in Date Night – $15

BellaPierre Gel Eyeliner in Ebony – $15

Royal & Langnickel Moda Pro Brush Set – $26

tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette in Volume II – $36

My total box value is $106!  Amazing for a $21 box!

PUR Pro Eyelashes in Diva

I don’t normally wear false eyelashes, but I will probably keep these around for a special occasion or Halloween.  They are pretty.

The Beauty Crop #GRLPOWER Liquid Lipstick in Date Night

I will keep this.  I really like the color.  I usually wear nudes or lighter pinks, but this is good for a nice pop of color.  It also dries quickly and doesn’t budge.  The packaging is pretty, too!

BellaPierre Gel Eyeliner in Ebony

I only wear black eyeliner to go out, and then I like an eyeliner pen.  I will give this to a friend who will use it!

Royal & Langnickel Moda Pro Brush Set

This is a very nice brush set!  The bristles are really soft and I am looking forward to trying them out.  I received the Pointed Brush BMX-130 (good for blush or powder), the Chisel Brush BMX-250 (nice to highlight or contour) and the Crease Brush BMX-430 (for eye shadow).  I will keep these and use them all.  I definitely don’t have one like the chisel brush, so that will be fun to try.

tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette in Volume II

This is a beautiful neutral palette!  The colors are a bit shimmery and I think will be perfect for fall.  I also like the size, this can travel well and fit in purses easier than a long palette.  I love tarte and am excited to try it!

So, my first Boxycharm was a hit!  I will use the tarte palette, the brushes and the lip color.  The other two items I might use later or give away.  But, I think this was really nicely curated.

Do you get Boxycharm?  If so, what items did you get in this month’s box and which is your favorite?

Glam Up With Tarte’s EnergyNoir Collection This Fall!

tarte limited-edition energy noir clay palette
tarte limited-edition energy noir clay palette

Tarte’s new EnergyNoir collection is gorgeous for Fall makeup looks!  I love tarte’s blend of natural ingredients and glamorous products.  I am reviewing the EnergyNoir products, new colors of matte LipSurgence and the sculptor for face contouring.

Tarte limited-edition  energy noir clay palette ($38 USD) — Feel the energy of the night with tarte’s clay-infused eye & cheek palette featuring eight stunning shadows in a mix of neutral, plum and smokey shades. Then, you can charge up your look with the versatile eye & cheek highlighter and warm neutral blush, each infused with tarte’s iconic Amazonian clay and encased in a sleek, statement palette.

Shades include:
• full moon (matte beige)
• charged up (silvery taupe)
• dark drive (matte dark chocolate)
• stone unturned (matte taupe)
• up too slate (smoky plum)
• misty mauve (matte mauve)
• power plum (matte dark plum)
• lunar eclipse (matte black)
• crystal spark (champagne highlighter)
• unearthed (pinky nude blush)

tarte LipSurgence skintuitive lip tint in energy noir ($24 USD) —  Invigorate your lip wardrobe and create a custom noir pout with the latest shade to join tarte’s best-selling skintuitive™ lip tint. This new noir extension of tarte’s custom energy family features the skintuitive™ pH-adjusting technology which instantly responds to lips’ natural energy to deliver a custom shade of berry that’s unique to each tartelette. With the 3-in-1 benefits of a lipstick, lip gloss and a moisture-rich balm, the ultra-hydrating and lightweight formula pairs perfectly with the new LipSurgence™ skintuitive lip gloss in energy noir for a coordinating, glossy finish and a sultry burst of deep berry energy.

tarte LipSurgence skintuitive lip gloss in energy noir ($19 USD) — Channel your unique “energy noir” with the newest skintuitive shade to join tarte’s energy family for a mega-watt pout in your own custom pop of sheer berry. Powered by tarte’s proprietary skintuitive™ technology, the high-performance formula responds to lips’ natural energy and pH to deliver an exclusive berry shade that’s all your own. Like a drink of water for your lips, the hydrating, antioxidant-infused formula helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while it wraps lips in moisture, shine and a sheer berry hue that pairs perfectly with the coordinating LipSurgence™ lip tint in energy noir.

tarte LipSurgence matte lip tint ($24 USD) — Meet your perfect matte – tarte’s award-winning, 3-in-1 lip tint offers the pigmented performance of a lipstick combined with the creamy moisture of a gloss and a rich balm. Infused with skinvigorating™ ingredients like vitamins C & E, this nourishing formula moisturizes and smooths the appearance of lips while delivering natural-looking color with a soft matte finish. Simply twist up the automatic pencil tip and glide it over lips to deliver the ultimate in fashion-matte perfection. The new shades are bare (marsala) and tempted (dark berry).

tarte the sculptor contouring face slenderizer ($24 USD) — Chisel your cheekbones in seconds with the sculptor contouring face slenderizer, an innovative contouring tool which helps create the illusion of a slimmer, more defined face. The stick applicator comes in tarte’s signature park ave princess shade designed to complement all skin tones. Create instant definition and the look of high cheekbones with this easy-to-use tool, while creating a naturally slimmer appearance on the neck, jawline and nose. Available in three shades, the shade above is Park Avenue Princess 2, the medium shade.

What I think:  The gorgeous plums and neutrals of the palette work perfectly with the berry EnergyNoir lip colors — which are my favorite items in the collection. I usually wear lighter colors on my lips, but these are so sheer and they remind me of Fall.  I will definitely be wearing this collection over the next few months.

I am not much of a matte lip wearer, because they can feel dry on your lips.  the matte LipSurgence leaves some moisture on the lip, which is needed during cooler weather.  I like bare the most, because it is a great neutral, but tempted is nice with the EnergyNoir lip color over I.  It makes a very pretty combo!

One of the most used products for me is the sculptor.  The pencil is so creamy the you can draw lines all over the face and it blend seamlessly! My jaw and child benefit immensely from this pencil!  I also contour my cheeks and the sides of my nose.

All of these amazing products are available at http://www.tartecosmetics.com.

Please leave a comment and let me know if you have purchased or plan to purchase any of these items.

Glow This Summer With New Makeup

For me, summer makeup is all about the glow!  As long as I have great self-tanning, bronzing, highlighting and lip balms, I can get out the door quickly looking fresh for the day!

Below are some of my new favorites:

Jane Iredale Summer 2015
Jane Iredale Summer 2015

Jane Iredale Golden Shimmer Face and Body Lotion ($32 USD)uses diamond dust from pure mica to impart an irresistible golden glow and subtle veil of shimmer that warms and smoothes the complexion. The natural formula rejuvenates and hydrates with botanical extracts, and is gentle enough to be used on the face or body.

Jane Iredale LipDrink Lip Balm ($15 USD) provides physical, broad spectrum SPF 15 and uses a powerful blend of antioxidants, green tea extracts and Vitamins C and E to protect and nourish lips. LipDrink is naturally lemon scented and available in three shades including: Crush, a new tinted berry, Buff, a new nude, and Sheer, the original translucent shade.

What I think: A little goes a long way with the Golden Shimmer lotion.  Just a dab gives gorgeous, shimmery color that looks so pretty in the sun!  I like to use it as a highlight on my eyes and cheeks and on my legs for extra glow. The LipDrink is an extremely hydrating balm! I like to use the sheer for evenings and the gym, the Crush and Buff are great for an extra bit of color with the hydration.

Purchase at http://www.jeneiredale.com

tarte Amazonian clay waterproof bronzer ($30 USD) — tarte’s best-selling bronzing powder in the iconic park ave princess shade. The waterproof formula adds instant warmth and dimension across a variety of skin tones as Amazonian clay helps improve overall skin clarity, texture and tone for an overall lit from within complexion.

tarte Amazonian clay matte waterproof bronzer ($30 USD) — tarte’s best-selling matte bronzing powder in the iconic park ave princess shade.  This all-matte waterproof version adds instant warmth and dimension across a variety of skin tones as the Amazonian clay-infused formula helps to improve overall skin clarity, texture and tone for an overall lit from within complexion.

tarte Brazilliance skin rejuvenating maracuja self tanning face towelettes ($21 USD) — tarte’s best-selling maracuja self tanner in a convenient towelette designed specifically for the face. Infused with nourishing, antioxidant-rich ingredients, including maracuja and vitamin E, each single-use towelette brightens and hydrates the skin while delivering a lasting sunless tan that never looks fake or orange. Powered by tarte’s proprietary PUREshield™ scent-controlled technology, each towelette imparts a refreshing, spa-like experience with every application unlike any self tanner you’ve tried before. The convenient 10-pack allows for a seamless and streak-free application so you can look your beach bronze best anytime, anywhere.

What I think:  The bronzers are so beautiful, I love the park avenue princess shade, it’s almost a golden bronze.  The matte is great for contouring, but I think the shimmer shade is my favorite.  I sweep it on my cheekbones and forehead and it makes a lovely eye shadow.

The self tanning face towelettes technically aren’t makeup, but they do keep my skin bronze and glowing all day!  They are so easy to use!  I apply them at night, and by morning, my skin is bronzed. Plus, I love the natural ingredients.

Doll 10 Hydra Fluid Foundation Drops ($36 USD) — Diffuse the look of imperfections and perfect your complexion with the next generation of foundation. Hydra Fluid is an ultra-thin foundation so rich in pigment that one drop is all you need. The lightweight, super-smooth formula leaves you with the appearance of a radiant, flawless finish.

Doll 10 Precision Foundation Brush ($32 USD) — An innovative, angled foundation brush made for precise contouring and flawless application. Use the flat, tapered side of the brush for overall coverage, and use the angled side of the brush  for contouring areas such as your cheekbones, jawline, and nose.

Doll 10 Blush and Glo Cheek Contour Stick and Lip Gloss ($30 USD) — Cheeks and balances. Take the guesswork out of contouring with Doll 10’s Blush & Glo Cheek Contour Highlighter Stick and Lip Gloss. With one swipe, the cheek stick is designed to deliver the perfect amount of blush and highlighter to skillfully sculpt, color, and illuminate. Pair it with the matching Lip Gloss for a glowing combination.

What I think: The foundation drops are light, but full-coverage, perfect for easy summer skin.  I have been testing them in Light, and the color is perfect for my skin tone.  The foundation brush applies them flawlessly.

My favorite Doll 10 product of the three.  It is so gorgeous!  I use the blush for my cheeks and the highlighter all over!  I also use the stick highlighter up and sweep it across my eyelids — the perfect summer eye shadow.  Plus, there is a lip gloss in the bottom of the stick.  And it is such a pretty pinky-nude.  My favorite shade (while my skin is not too tanned) is Kiss & Make up.  It also comes in a deeper shade called Love at First Sight.

My Beauty Favorites Week of May 18-May 24, 2015

My kids just got out of school for summer break on Friday, so our summer has started!  Between planning how to keep them busy and our road trip to Yellowstone, I am getting so excited for warmer weather and fun! This week I have been getting ready for summer by loving a fab skincare sunscreen, hair care for summer styles, and products to protect, restore and heal the skin. Tarte tarteguard 30 sunscreen lotion tarte tarteguard 30 sunscreen lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($32 USD) — tarte’s first ever, non-chemical sunscreen to help protect, moisturize, brighten and re-invigorate skin for a youthful-looking appearance. The lightweight, non-sticky liquid lotion contains all mineral, non-chemical sunscreen ingredients to help protect against the sun’s damaging UVA/UVB rays that can cause dryness, redness, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, among other skincare beauty boundaries. Recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation for daily use, the skinvigorating™ formula is also infused with maracuja, red algae, soybean, apple and honeysuckle extracts to nourish, tone and retain moisture while helping to combat signs of aging for a firmer, brighter, smoother appearance. The fresh, ocean’s lily scent allows for luxurious, spa-like daily applications while the high-performance liquid emulsion seamlessly melts into skin, leaving it supremely soft and silky, without ever leaving a white cast. What I think:  I have been using this as my daily moisturizer/sunscreen for a few days. It is very lightweight and absorbs instantly into my skin.  It is hard to tell that it is a sunscreen because it is very sheer and there isn’t a sunscreen scent.  The scent is quite floral, which seems strange for a sunscreen (not tropical) but it is very nice.  I will be using this until I run out! Purchase at http://www.tartecosmetics.com

Pure Abundance Style Prep ($24 USD) — Nature’s boost for fine hair-infuses all-day weightless volume that feels naturally yours. Adds lightweight, natural bulk to each strand with a botanical blend of acacia gum, passion fruit, rice bran, açaí oil and certified organic aloe.

Weightless conditioners detangle to help prevent breakage from combing. Helps refresh volume on non-shampoo days-without adding weight. Brilliant Spray-On Shine — ($28 USD) — Provides a sheer mist of pure shine and vitamin E to finished hair styles. Also helps eliminate flyaways. For all hair types. Imparts glossy shine, eliminates flyaways and tames frizz. Aveda Air Control Hair Spray — ($26 USD) — Take hold of innovation: with a flexible, lasting hold hair spray-for all hair types-that has a net-zero impact* on the Earth’s climate. Breakthrough pine resin technology for hold. Dry delivery. What I think: For summer, just a few great hair care products can keep your hair looking amazing, but not over done.  The Style Prep is a multi-tasker as it adds volume, detangles and refreshes volume on not shampoo days.  The Spray-On Shine really does add a healthy shine and helps with the flyaways.  And the flexible hold of the hairspray is perfect for sexy summer ‘do’s! Available at http://www.aveda.com

Q’urSkin ($12 USD) — Helps cleanse impurities and prevents inflammation, as well as supports skin’s healthy appearance.

Useful for skin at the bikini & underarm areas after shaving/waxing where ingrown hair or razor burn can occur. Available at http://wwwndc.walmart.com/ip/Q-urFollica-2.3-fl-oz/17324363

What I think:  These products are essential for summer mishaps!  Their portable sizes are perfect for first aid kits for travel and to keep at home. My kids (and husband) always come to me with boo-boo’s, and the Q’urSkin is like an effective spray bandaid. The Q’urBurn relieves the pain (campfire’s anyone?) and the Q’urFollica does help with razor burn!
