August BoxyCharm

Published on by camillepearl23

It feels like I just posted a BoxyCharm video (which I did, you can find it here) so I decided to just do a blog post for it this month, instead of a video and a blog post.

How Boxycharm Works:

Boxycharm is $21 per month. This price includes all the products, as well as shipping charges. Inside your box you get 4 or 5 full size products and a paper describing what each product it and how much it would usually cost. All boxes are worth AT LEAST $100. Mine was definitely over that this month.

My Box this Month:

IMG_1845.JPGWander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks: I’ve only tried one other brand of eye masks, but oh my gosh I loved these! I would recommend laying down while you wear these so they don’t slip down your face, but my under eyes felt amazing and fresh after I used this. And the box comes with three! I wasn’t thrilled with the last Wander Beauty item we got in our month, but these are awesome!

Laura Lee Los Angeles Party Animal Palette: This is just an everyday casual palette…just kidding! These colors are so bright and fun. I can’t wait to come up with an eye look for this palette. MaybeI’ll do an upcoming tutorial on it if it turns out decent! I love seeing a beauty influencers brand in the box.

House of Lashes: I’m not a huge lash-wearer, but I do have a few big events coming up that I probably will want to wear lashes for! I’ve heard such great reviews on the House of Lashes lashes, so I’m excited to try these out!

Adesse Nail Treatment- Sweet Almond Cuticle Oil: I’ve never used a nail oil before, so this definitely intrigues me. I thought once I put it on my nails that it would dry down, but it stays oily for a long time. Next time I try it, Ill try it while I don’t have to use my hands for anything, like while I’m watching TV. I think I’ll like this and I’m excited to use it more!

Smashbox Lipstick: My understanding is that there were a few different options of lipsticks and shades that went out from Smashbox in this month’s box. I love the bright pink color I received! Hopefully you found something in your box that you liked!

Bang Beauty Chocolate Gel Eyeliner: I’ve been getting back into wearing winged eyeliner everyday so I was excited to see this in the box! Since it’s brown, I think it’s better for everyday wear since it’s much more muted than a black liner. I’m still looking for the perfect brush to use with it, though.

What did you get in your box this month?

July Boxycharm Try-On

Published on by camillepearl23

I know this is coming a little late for July, but I was on vacation and didn’t get to open my box of Boxycharm goodies until I got home!

How Boxycharm Works:

Boxycharm is $21 per month. This price includes all the products as well as shipping charges. Inside your box you get 4 or 5 full size products and a paper describing what each product it and how much it would usually cost. All boxes are worth AT LEAST $100. Mine was definitely over that this month.

My Box this Month:

Farmacy Bright On Vitamin C Mask: I still haven’t tried this product out…I know I keep meaning to! I’ve just been taking my makeup off and going right to bed without using a face mask, but hopefully tonight I will finally try this out! Until then, I can’t give you a review except to say that this product is usually expensive!

Chella Tantalizing Taupe Eyebrow Cream: This is the perfect eyebrow product to travel with! Unfortunately, I just got back from my vacation. If you really like to fill in your brows and do it quickly, this is a great product. I’m not sure it’s going to replace my current eyebrow products, but it’s something I’ll keep for the future.

Note Luminous Silk Compact Blusher: I LOVE the shade that came this month – I actually don’t have any other blush like it! It’s a beautiful peach shade and it is pretty pigmented so be careful about that. Awesome product!

Crown Fuego Eyeshadow Palette: We’ve gotten lots of Crown products in past boxes, but I think this is my favorite of their products yet! The colors in this palette are beautiful and the pans are huge! Loving this so far!

Wander Beauty Unlashed Volume and Curl Mascara: This was my least favorite product in the box. It just didn’t put enough product on my eyelashes and I like a LOT of mascara! However, I did really like it for my lower lashes so I’ll be using it for that!

That’s it for the box this month! Did you love any of the products? Make sure you check out my video trying them on!

While I decided to call this post and corresponding video my “June” favorites, these are really products that I’ve been loving for a few months! It just seemed a bit late in the year to be naming it a “Spring” favorites, even though I was loving these products all towards the end of the spring.

Welcome Back and Empties

Published on by camillepearl23

Now that I’m on summer vacation, I’m hoping that posting here and on my YouTube channel will become more of a regular thing again! To kick it off, I filmed a video that I’ve been meaning to film for months – all of my empties and my review on them!

This is quite a long video so make sure you have a snack before you get started! Enjoy!

April Boxycharm Try-On

Published on by camillepearl23

I LOVE the Boxycharm box this month – I wasn’t disappointed by a single product!

How Boxycharm Works:

Boxycharm is $21 per month. This price includes all the products as well as shipping charges. Inside your box you get 4 or 5 full size products and a paper describing what each product it and how much it would usually cost. All boxes are worth AT LEAST $100. Mine was definitely over that this month.

My Box this Month:

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner Face Mask: This tiny little bottle costs $47 usually! Quite a deal considering I only paid $21 for this whole box. I have yet to try this out, but I’m planning to tonight. It’s just so expensive I feel like I should save it!

Tarte Tarteist PRO Glow Liquid: I’ve never actually owned a liquid highlighter before so I was excited to try this out! While it definitely isn’t a blinding highlight, it does have a nice glow and can be built up or added to with powder highlight. i might even try mixing this in with my foundation.

The BrowGal Eyebrow Gel: This is pretty average eyebrow gel that I used after I had already filled in my brows. I’m looking forward to trying this out on a no-makeup makeup day!

Adesse Hi Definition Liquid Lipstick: I was thinking this would be more of a matte finish, but it definitely isn’t. It’s comparable to ColourPop ultra satin lips, maybe with even more gloss. I love the color I got!

ColourPop My Little Pony Eyeshadow Palette: This is too cute! Not only do I love the packaging of this, but I love the eyeshadow product inside! I’ve only used ColourPop single shadows, but the ones in the palette seemed high quality as well!

If you’d like to see a more in depth review of the products this month, as well as see me try them on, make sure you check out my video!

Fun Spring Makeup Tutorial

Published on by camillepearl23

Ever have those days where you see some colorful eyeshadows and you just HAVE to make a look with them? No? Just me? Oh well, that’s basically what happened here. I’m not as keen on the blue inner corners as I thought I would be, but I wouldn’t have known until I tried! Let me know what you think and what your fun makeup ideas for spring are!

Target and Walmart Haul

Published on by camillepearl23

I’m finally back! March was quite the busy, tiring month, but now that I am on Spring break for a week I am excited to start posting again and also getting things ready for future posts.

I also wanted to post a video to my YouTube channel so I filmed a haul that I really did a while ago. I just rounded everything that I bought back up again so I could show you! Most of the stuff (especially the clothes) were on sale and I’ve already worn and tried most items.

Enjoy the video!

Evening Routine Vlog

Published on by camillepearl23

I love watching other people’s vlogs. There’s just something about seeing what other people do in their day-to-day lives that intrigues me. With that being said, I’m trying to get into vlogging more (or at least doing more “My Day” type blog posts). This post and video was a way to get my toes wet. I filmed it while no one else was around and I only did it for a short amount of time. Still, I did it! Hopefully there will be more to come!

In the video, I am making dinner which I mention is a blog post already. You can find my sausage and veggies recipe here.

If you’d like to see what I get up to in the evenings after work, check out my video here!

What does your evening routine look like?

YouTube Show and Tell Tag

Published on by camillepearl23

I’m always looking for fun tags to try on my YouTube channel – I mean who doesn’t love getting made up and then talking about themselves in front of a camera!? Usually I just Google “Fun tags” or something unoriginal like that. BUT, this one I actually found on one of my favorite YouTuber’s channel – Zoella. You can find her video here! I thought this had some good questions and I had a lot of fun filming this video – more fun than usual!

VIDEO HERE!

Here are some links and other channels I mention in the video:
