  • July Beauty Box Battle and Final Thoughts

     Hi all! Before I start receiving my August boxes I thought I’d do a summary of July and my thoughts, since I got three boxes this month. My first Kinder Beauty Box was a win, I think. I definitely wasn’t impressed with a couple of the products and had trouble with others, but specifically the… Read more

  • July BoxyCharm Rev

    , , ,

     This month’s BoxyCharm review is in! I have a lot to talk about. BoxyCharm is one of those OG boxes, but has always felt haphazard to me and not very well-thought out if that makes sense, although I’ve still found some excellent products through them nonetheless. The July Box came with five products; a cream… Read more

I’ve only received a few BoxyCharm boxes since I’ve been into makeup and I didn’t like them as much as IPSY, so I only just resubscribed to continue reviewing and trying new things.

  • June Glam Bag Plus and Add-On Review

    , , ,

     The June Glam Bag came in from IPSY! And we have a lot to talk about. I’ve been an IPSY subscriber on and off for several years, but this is honestly the best box yet in my opinion. First off, since I added a bunch of extra products to this box, my total ended up… Read more

  • Insensitive Skin

    I have a type of acne called milia. Some people know it as pearl acne, because when they’re extracted instead of being all like … gross … they’re just little pearl-like balls. They’re technically bubbles of keratin that collect underneath layers of the skin but not specifically inside your pores, which means they don’t have… Read more
