My next Glossybox has shipped and I’m just now getting this post out!!! Ugh. This box as a whole didn’t really pique my interest that much and a couple of the items seem like they might be difficult to track down or purchase, at least if you are in the United States. I was excited to try the mask, though, and it didn’t disappoint.
These are my first favorites of 2016. I have a whopping 11 products to talk about. That’s a lot for me as the number usually hovers right around 5 for only one month.
Phew! I feel like this was a TON of steps and I used 9 out of the 12 eyeshadows in this palette but I think the blending came out really smooth. It’s really not necessary to go that far to get a similar look but I felt like experimenting a little.
Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Color is supposed to offer high impact matte color in a comfortable-to-wear formula. The packaging is very similar to a lip gloss with a slanted doe foot applicator.
Too Faced Love Flush Blush Wardrobe is a limited edition palette that contains all six of the permanent range blushes from the Love Flush blush line. They are supposed to have a long wearing formula that will deliver 16 hours of wear.
Glossybox is good about introducing me to brands I’m not very familiar with. I knew about Royal Apothic and Emite Makeup but none of the others. All the items in this box are useful – a clarifying hair treatment, foot and body creams, a lip color, and a foundation primer.
Cover FX Custom Cover Drops is a new type of base makeup that is supposed to offer the ability to customize your coverage/color/finish to your heart’s content.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powders are meant to mimic different lighting sources and affect the way light falls on the skin, giving it a softer, more flattering look. Hourglass describes Diffused Light as “a soft, warm, pale yellow powder that conceals redness and gives skin clarity—like a soft ray of morning light.” It is formulated without parabens, talc, fragrance, nanoparticles, and gluten.
Whim Nail Lacquer is part of a 3 step system that is supposed to deliver the durability of a gel manicure with but the ability to remove it easily with nail polish remover. I have only the color portion of the system and not the base or top coats so my review is only for the nail color itself.
