BOXYCHARM - June 2018 | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

After much deliberation with myself, I took the plunge. Recently, I have been all about subscription boxes and finding one that not only gives me my monies worth, but has products that I am truly excited to try and use. 

This being my first BOXYCHARM box, I was way too excited about sharing the products that I received for the month of June. This is simply a quick overview of the products that the box contained (first impressions) however, if anyone would like a more detailed post on the product's quality themselves I would be more than happy to share my thoughts after having used the products a bit more. 













I have received Luxie brushes in other subscription boxes but never as a set. The Luxie brushes that I have received in the past have made their way into my everyday makeup application routine. The brushes themselves are soft and of great quality plus, who doesn't love rose gold?! This set includes: 

516: Due Fibre Powder
522: Tapered Highlighter
660: Precision Foundation





This is one of the products that I was most surprised to see in my box. For some time now I had heard about a "butt" cream that would make me stop doing squats at the gym. Now I know that this is an exaggeration, but I cannot be more interested in seeing exactly what this "magic" cream does. The smell is a nice, warm scent and is meant to absorb quickly into the skin.





When it comes to fake lashes, I am always the driver of the struggle bus. This year I have been much more open with the idea of using fake lashes as they can really transform and complete any makeup look. These lashes are the perfect combination of natural and yet still giving you a fuller look. The lashes themselves are soft to the touch and the band is very flexible, which I have found makes application much easier for me.





At the bottom of my box was this beauty. This palette has a combination of metallic and matte formulas. The shades themselves are a mix of warm earth tones and fun vibrate colors that you can wear together for a fun look. I did swatch all of the shades on my arm and the pigmentation was amazing. All of the shades are creamy and applied nicely. I am very excited to use this during the summer and get out of my comfort zone.




Liquid lipsticks have been my go-to lately and the shade Verona is everything I could ask for. The shade is a beautiful brown, nude that works perfect for an everyday look. I swatched this lipstick on the back of my hand and the amount of work it took to get it off makes me eager to see how how this wears throughout the day.




Last but not least was a creamy, waterproof eyeliner that was equally as difficult to get off my hand. The pencil glided easily on the skin while still providing a good amount of pigmentation. This seems to be a perfect pencil to run along the waterline without fear of it smearing everywhere throughout the day.

Overall I am very happy with the products that were included my the June box. I am confident that I will get good use of each of them and that some may even end up being in my June favorites. I have provided the links to where each of these products can be purchased in case you wish to get any yourself! I haven't been this excited for a subscription box in some time and cannot wait to see what I will be receiving next month. 

BOXYCHARM allows you to get a monthly subscription for $21.00 per month with the option to cancel at anytime. This box was paid for with my own money and all the opinions are my own. If you are interested in subscribing for your own BOXYCHARM, feel free to use my referral link. 

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadows | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

On a recent trip to CVS, I spotted a display case full of Milani eyeshadows that I had never seen before. I really enjoy the Milani blushes and thought I would try these eyeshadows since they were rather inexpensive. These retail for $3.99 at Walgreens and for $4.29 at CVS however, in CVS these eyeshadows are buy one get one 50% off. Here are some swatches along with a short review of them.


































Overall I am very impressed with the quality of these eyeshadows. I was a bit worried that the dome-shape of the shadows would affect the texture of the product itself. Many products with this shape tend to be very hard at the top and it isn't until you get through the top layer, that you get a better product. The texture is very smooth and buttery. The pigmentation is very impressive, especially for the darker shades. The color range is amazing since you can find anything from blue and pink, to purple and green. With the wide range of colors comes a great range in finishes. Each shade is clearly marked with the finish on the label, underneath the shade. I clearly opted for the more neutral shades and they are absolutely gorgeous. These shadows blend beautifully on the lid and with each other. The packaging is very cute, but a little bulky and take up a bit of space if you have a couple like I do. You would not expect much for such inexpensive products, but these certainly are great.

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Swatches | Elizabeth Vasquez

Hello Everyone!

Now let me completely honest and say that I did not need another neutral eyeshadow palette. Somewhere between the cute packaging and how they eyeshadows smelled like chocolate, I was hooked. The names of the eyeshadow shades are all references to different sweets. This palette has a wonderful mixture of matte, shimmer and glitter shades. This palette is all that you need to complete many different complete looks. I love the fact that the lighter colors are bigger than the rest since I tend to use those the most and go through them rather quickly. The packaging is rather similar to the Naked 2 & 3 palettes. It has a magnetic lid so it is easy to open and close. The shades are lovely and pigmented. The Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette is a must in everyone's makeup collection.








Gilded Ganache, Salted Caramel, Hazelnut, Marzipan & Creme Brûlée


Semi-Sweet, Haute Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, Strawberry Bon-Bon & Cherry Cordial


Black Forest Truffle, Candied Violet, Triple Fudge & Amaretto


White Chocolate & Champagne Truffle


Look at me trying to be all artsy haha.
