Starlook- January 2014

It has been a while since I received Starlooks Box and that is just what unemployment will do to your subscription services. But I am proud to say I am employed again so the first thing I did was sign back up for Starlooks. For those of you who have never heard of Starlooks then you are really missing out. 

 

Starlooks is a private make up company that has a monthly subscription box. You receive 3-4 full size products from their brand. Oh and it is almost all make up. I don't recall ever getting anything else but I am not going to rule it out.



 

 I want to share with you what is written on the insert in the box this month because I just love it...

Time to drink a cup of kindness for Auid Lang Syne and start a'new - with a fresh body, a fresh mind, and a fresh face. This month is a very special one, as we all have the opportunity to take a deep look into ourselves, say farewell to the things we want to change, and welcome our new transformations and goals. STARLOOKS encouranges you to add out motto (and this month's STARLOOKS theme) to your list of resolutions this January:

Surprise Yourself!

Don't hit the snooze button. Wake up in time to enjoy a cup o' joe. Take a moment to notice what a beautiful winter day it is outside. Take the time to make yourself look and feel just as gorgeous on the outside as you are on the inside. But before you head out to start your day, try that new, unused eye shadow, lipstick, liner, or piece of make up you never thought you could pull off, and watch the heads turn and the compliments flow...you won't regret it, we promise. XOXO - STARLOOKS

Infinite Lipstick (product on left)- This is such a pretty color and I love that it is a long lasting lipstick. This color is Eons- Matte. Retail Value- $15

Tender Gloss Lipstick- This is a lipstick and lip gloss all in one product. It has the base and lasting ability of lipstick but the shine of lip gloss. This color is Puzzy- Satin. Retail Value- $13

Infinity Lipstick- This is another long lasting lipstick. This color is Endless- Satin. Retail Value- $15

Infinity Eye Liner- I am not a genius at gel eyeliner but now I have more to practice with so I can get good.  This is a beautiful blue color called Orion- Matte. Retail Value- $13

They sent a bonus item that is an eyelash separator or an eye brow comb. You can use it for whatever you need.

The value of this box is $56! That is a great deal for the $15 (plus just under $3 for shipping) price tag. I am so glad to be getting an all make up box again!

Birchbox- January 2014

It's Go Time! That is the theme of the first Birchbox of the new year.  Time to get going and make something amazing from 2014!

I have been unsure about Birchbox for the last 6 months or so because I have not been too happy about the lack of make up in the boxes. It is a new year and a new attitude. Maybe I was thinking about Birchbox as a make up collection and it really isn't. And they don't advertise as one so I have been thinking about it all wrong. This is a lifestyle box and they do that well!

Fekkai- I love travel shampoo and conditioners and I love Fekkai products so this is perfect! It is going straight into my travel bag for this weekend. Retail Value (both)- $10

Coastal Scents- I am not a huge fan of this brand but I love the colors. Retail Value- $5

Harvey Prince-  I like this scent called Journey. It makes me want to go on a far away vacation! Retail Value- $1

Burt's Bees- I am a huge fan of this brand so I was ecstatic to see this day lotion in the box. This will be a perfect thing to put in my purse. Retail Value- $2

I love this collection with my new outlook on Birchbox. The value of this box is $18. Not the best value I have seen but it is more than the $10 price tag so that is good.

Do you get Birchbox? If so, what do you love/not love about it?



Ipsy's My Glam Bag- January 2014

So it is a new year and I am excited to see what Ipsy has in store for us this year. One of the things that I love about Ipsy is the bonus offers that come in with each brand. They do not sell any of their products in the bag on their website so this is a great way to get more of what you love with a great deal. They do have a point system and you earn points by referring friends to the subscription.

I have to admit that I love getting my items in a bag each month instead of a box I just throw away but I am getting a little stockpile of them and not sure what to do with them.  I have given a ton away but I still have more. I guess there are worse problems to have in life!

A! Absolute- I am very excited about these cucumber extract make up cleaning clothes in a to go package. Bonus Offer- 30% off any purchase. Retail Offer- $2.49

Mica Beauty Cosmetics- I am leaving to go on a trip today and grabbing my new tinted lip gloss in fiesta color for my to go bag. Bonus Offer- 45% off any purchase. Retail Value- $20

Lee Anni- This is a 3 in 1 Revolution that is a toner, serum and moisturizer in one. Bonus Offer- 15% off any purchase. Retail Value- $5

Sexy Hair- I am a big fan of Sexy Hair products so I am excited to try this leave in conditioner. I find it very hard to find a reasonably priced leave in conditioner that is good and doesn't leave my hair greasy. Bonus Offer- $5 off a $25 purchase. Retail Value- $3.50

Elizabeth Mott- I have never used an eye pencil and this is not exactly a color I would buy but I am going to give it a try. I love that it is so creamy! Bonus Offer- Free black pencil with every item purchased. Retail Value- $6

This month was a great mix of items to start off the new year. The value is $36.99 and that is great for the $10 price tag.

Boxy Charm- January 2014

Cheers to a New Year! That is the theme to the first Boxy Charm box of 2014 and I am very excited to get this year going. I have a feeling this is going to be a good year and Boxy Charm is here to make sure you start off 2014 looking your best.

I was glad to see that I get to start the new year with a little love from Be A Bombshell cosmetics as well as some brands I am not familiar with as much as others. This is the year to make the best choices for your subscription boxes and if you are not getting Boxy Charm I think you need to add it to your collection for this year!

Model Co- I am not that great at gel eyeliners but this one comes with a built in brush so that should make it super easy for someone like me. Retail Value- $22

Reveille and Reveille- This body polish is made from brown sugar and sold on Etsy. I love that is comes from an Etsy shop. Retail Value- $16.75

Be A Bombshell- This light colored eye shadow (Birthday Suit) is a great base color to help lighten up your eyes. Retail Value- $14

Sparitual- This is a beautiful shimmer nail lacquer. It is vegan and DBP free. Retail Value- $12

Ofra- This color of liquid lipstick is going to be perfect to have on a daily basis. It is a great "on the go" light shade. Retail Price- $15

This is one of the best value boxes I have seen in a long time from anyone. The value is $79.75. That is great for the $21 price.
