Boxycharm Updates (June)

Boxycharm Updates

June 2016

Farmacy
Hydrating Coconut Gel Mask

(Image from google)
 
This product is a hydrating coconut gel mask with purple broccoli for brightening. This product has a  brightening solution for freckles & dark spots. The masks are without parabens, sulfates, & phthalates. (which can cause allergic reactions) This product is also made with naturally derived ingredients, and free from artificial colors, formaldehyde & NOT tested on animals.
I tried this mask twice. The first time I tried it, I didn't take off the two layers on each side of the mask. (User error) lol So the second time I tried this, I really didn't like it. (Personal preference) Not to be gross, but it left like a wet condom on my face!!! It took all the power I had not to take it off my face for the 15-20 minutes. The solutions is great, I can't speak for the dark spots though. If the solution was on a sheet mask, it would have been a whole different ball game. Some like Hydro-Gel masks, I don't.

Ofra
Oil Control Pressed Powder 

 
 
 According to Ofra's website, this product is suppose to adhere to your makeup throughout the day, and can be used to control oil. I'm just going to come out and say it...I didn't like this product. To me, it showed too much of a white cast. Even if I wasn't taking pictures, you could see where I had applied it. It made me look like a ghost, and for the price ($39.95), you need to WOW me, and I just wasn't. 
 

 


Also, after just two uses, if would have these little bumps or dots form on the top of the product. I don't know what caused it, but like I said, I really just don't like the product. 


**********

Girlactick Beauty
Precise Eyeliner Marker



This eyeliner marker was created to help make a super thin or thick line. The tip is soft and precise, and claims to be long wearing, water resistant, smudge proof. with no pulling or tugging. I have tried this liner multiple times, and it isn't waterproof. I've done winged liner with this liner and it went everywhere when I went out in the rain, heading to work. The product makes it very easy to line your eyes, it is smudge proof as your not near water. I had it on my hand as a swatch, and it lasted all day as long as I didn't you water, hand sanitizer, or anything liquidy. It's a good liner in general, but it's not water proof.
 
 
*********
 
LVX Nail Lacquer
100 Serene
 
 
 
This nail lacquer is suppose to be long wearing, cruelty free & vegan. The brand is produced here is the USA! I'm not gonna spend too long on nail polish, I haven't really tried it to be honest. I usually get my nails professional done and I just don't use it. The color is a really pretty light blue color, perfect for spring.

 
********* 
 
Cougar Beauty
Mineral face & Body Shimmer
 
 
This product, (Just like in the name), is a face and body shimmer. Also great for spring & Summer. This company has mades it's products free from harmful chemicals, preservatives, & filler (ie: talc, Bismuth) These are common ingredients that can irritate the skin. Bismuth is a common man made mineral is found in many mineral makeup brands. Also the product is free of is sensitisers (Perfume &/or dyes). I used this product a ot over the summer. Whether I was going out, or just outside, I would put this on. It's a nice micro glitter powder and I would put it on my décolletage and my shoulders. So pretty!

Jewelry from eBay & Aliexpress Pt.02 (Animal Jewelry)

Jewelry from eBay & Aliexpress


I have purchased jewelry online for quite sometime now. Anything from necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. I thought it was time to share the products and my experiences with shopping online!! So if you would like to see what I have purchased, then just keep scrolling!!!

Jewelry Series:
Pt.01 | Jewelry Sets
Pt.02 | Animal Jewelry
Pt.03 | Earrings & Rings
Pt.04 | Necklaces

I will link the products if they are still available.*
If the item isn't available, I will try and find a alternative.

Panda Necklace




I actually got this little guy on a auction on ebay. I won it for $0.99 + $2.99 shipping. I think it's so cute! My husband and I have animal nicknames for one another. I'm bear and my hubby is gator. (long story) lol So ever since I have been buying jewelry & accessories Bear. This necklace is made of brass and silver. It's also has some weight to it, which I wasn't expecting. It does come with a 24in chain, and I just love it.

Panda Bear Necklace $5.88

Paw Print Necklace
   

These took so long to get to me, but so worth it for me. I paid $1.29 each for them. They are 925 Silver, and cubic zirconia stones. I ordered these in May, and they didn't arrive until August. Honestly, when they finally came in the mail, I totally forgot I ordered them. Christmas in July, right? Any who, I got them because my husband and I lost our 2 first dogs to to cancer. :( (I'll share and picture down below) so I got them as a reminder that they are always with me.


Cat Earrings



I won these also at an auction on eBay. I got these in reminder of a wonderful woman, we lost this year due to cancer. She was so amazing, she left behind her 2 cats (Bear & Lucky), her only son, and grand daughter. She was the type to give you the shirt off her back, if she knew if would help you. Any way, she had 2 black cats, that we now own, and these earrings reminded me such much of her, I had to have them. They are stainless steel, (not sterling silver) which I prefer. Too me, sterling silver is nice, but it doesn't last as long as stainless steel.

Stainless Steel Cat Earrings $4.80

Dog Bone Necklace



This was my very first Aliexpress purchase. I ordered this as my first order to see how Aliexpress worked. I figured, it was something cheap and if something happened, I couldn't get mad over a few dollars. I love this necklace, it's not made of real silver, maybe silver plated. I wouldn't wear it in the shower. It does come in silver or gold. I also ordered this, thinking the paw print necklace wasn't coming.



Elsa & Rosco

 
 These two are brother and sister. They are half golden retriever and half boxer. Mr. Rosco looks more like the golden retriever while Ms. Elsa (also known as Queen B), was more boxer. We lost Elsa first in 2013 & Rosco in 2014. They will be truly missed, and I miss them both everyday. :(

Hope you enjoyed this blog, and more to come!

Jewelry from eBay & Aliexpress PT.01 (Sets)

Jewelry from eBay & Aliexpress

I have purchased jewelry online for quite sometime now. Anything from necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. I thought it was time to share the products and my experiences with shopping online!! So if you would like to see what I have purchased, then just keep scrolling!!!

Jewelry Series:

Pt.04 | Necklaces

I will link the products if they are still available.*

This item isn't available anymore, but I found something similar. So I got this thinking it would look like the one in the movie Titanic. I was sadly mistaken. :( But in a later blog, I will show you what I found. The link I will be linking below has the necklace, bracelet, & ring! (P.S. I just ordered it)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311353922799?var=610477627707&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true


I always wanted a necklace & earring set of my zodiac sign, (Capricorn 1/13) and I was so happy to find this! It's 925 silver, and the stone is cubic zirconia, amazing quality if I must say myself. I did buy this from China, and I paid $1.98 for both the earrings & necklace. The original seller no longer has them, but I found a seller that does! The seller has All 12 zodiac signs available.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/925-Silver-12-Constellations-Zodiac-Shining-Crystal-Pendant-Necklace-/262611689560?var=&hash=item3d24e06058:m:mtbVqnd4d1F6G81BIbuQY4Q

 
This item, I actually won on a bid on eBay. Also 99 cents, and I paid for the earrings separate (Since they weren't apart of the auction, but also 99 cents). I really do like these, they are also 925 silver & cubic zirconia. (They say) The necklace I do believe is 925 Silver, due to the fact it didn't turn my neck green (like other fake jewelry does). The earrings is where I had an issue. I think they are Silver Plated, they made my ear itch, and bright red. I don't usually have that problem unless they are fake. So if you have an issue with fake jewelry, I would skip out on the earrings.

When buying online, there is always the chance that the item (regardless if it's jewelry, makeup, etc), that the item could be fake or replica. Just do your research, and make sure that it's good quality.

Hope you enjoyed this blog, and more to come!

IPSY VS BIRCHBOX September 2016

Ipsy VS Birchbox

September 2016


I love beauty subscription boxes & bags, like the next person. So I thought that I would compare 2 that are similar and see if they are worth the money. Ipsy & Birchbox are both $10 a month and they both give you high-end beauty samples. I've even had the experience with both subscriptions, of hearing about new brands that I have never heard before. (Which I absolutely love) 

What I would like to do is the first post will be with swatches, & the second post will be 1 month later with my review on the products themselves. 

So if you are ready to see what I got in Ipsy & Birchbox...then just keep scrolling!! lol


Ipsy


 

Ipsy GLAMAZON Too Glam to Give a Damn

this is what the September Ipsy bag looks like, it's black with a gold zipper. Like I said in my video about this month, who doesn't like gold & black. I love the bag, it feels like it was very well made, doesn't feel cheap like some of the others I've had.

BIRCHBOX



Birchbox This month is ALL about Multi-taskers

This is what the September Birchbox looks like, I do believe that this is Birchbox's birthday month hints why the box was decorated with confetti. Also Birchbox doesn't come with a bag, but a beautiful decorated box. You can also reuse the box, maybe for storage or gift giving.
