Happy middle of June everyone! I realize that I'm incredibly behind with this post and its for a couple of reasons:
1. My GlossyBox didn't get to me until the 29th of May (seriously GlossyBox, seriously?)
2. I GOT ENGAGED!
3. I moved in with my now fiance and his son. Today was the first time in two weeks I've had my computer and camera, so I'm finally able to keep up again
4. I spent five days sick and in bed in the last two weeks
Anyway, let's get into it!
This months BoxyCharm theme was Bold & beautiful and I really loved the vibe:
The first two items were the Bodyography eyebrow trio and eyebrow pencil (with spoolie, spooly?) They are both really nice quality, but I was bummed out that they were considered two separate items. I like diversity in my boxes and two products for the same purpose was kind of disappointing.
The next was a ModelCo bronzer. It's really dark for my current skin tone, but its very pretty. It does have quite a lot of shimmery bits in it. I prefer a matte bronzer, but I'm sure it will still get used!
I have been loving lip products so I was thrilled about this lipstick from The Lip Bar. The other color option was a very bright purple, so I was relieved to pull out this gorgeous color.
The last item was this lauren b nail polish. I'm not a huge fan of green, but I think this color would be fun for the lake on my toes and I'll definitely use it during the summer.
Overall I was pretty happy with this (last) months BoxyCharm. There wasn't anything in it that thrilled me, but there also wasn't anything in it that won't get used, so I'm a happy girl!
This months GlossyBox didn't have a theme (I don't think):
These were the two products I was the most excited about. The Glamglow Powermud Dualcleanse treatment and the Clearista Retexturizing Gel. I love anything skincare related. The downside was that these are both really small sizes at .5 ounces. With a $21/month charge I hope for more.
The first item is a Doucce lipstick. The color is absolutely gorgeous, however I'm definitely not in love with the formula. It's a matte lipstick, but it is so incredibly dry that its almost hard to apply. I'll have to play with it some more to see if I can make it work, because the color is stunning.
The second item is a teeez base coat. First of all, the packaging is ADORABLE. The packaging alone makes me want to buy more of these polishes. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but I thought the idea of getting a base coat in a box was really nice.
The last item is a Sebastian Stylbrid 9 multi-benefit hairspray. I haven't had a chance to try this out, but it claims to have 9 care and styling effects to create versatile looks. I will say that it smells really nice and I'm looking forward to using it!
I feel roughly the same way about May's Glossybox as I do the BoxyCharm. Nothing in either of them that I hate, but nothing in them that I'm losing my mind excited about. Either way, they were both definitely worth their cost this month!
What was your favorite item in your boxes this month?
