Hi guys! I just received the Beautylish Lucky Bag in the mail, and let me tell you, this was pretty expensive, but completely worth it in the end!
The whole Lucky Bag (box?) cost $75 plus $5 for shipping on the Beautylish site. I had done a pre-order the day after Christmas and it was shipped out on January 4th. The only thing with this box was that you had no idea what you were getting. I had read that in previous years, this was worth every penny, so I'm glad I bit the bullet and spent the $80. Here's a list of everything I got, along with their individual prices:
- Wayne Goss The Brow Set: $55
- it Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed: $29
- Nudestix Blur Pencil: Can't find this exact product online, but their other Pencils are $24
- Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette: $40
- Kevin Aucoin The Creamy Glow in shade Tresbelle: $26
- Bioderma 100 ml: $6.95
Total value of the Lucky Box for 2016: $180.95
Ok, so it's pretty safe to say that this is 100% completely worth the $80 I paid! I've never tried Wayne Goss' brushes before, but have been dying to, and I was so close to buying the Becca Ombre Rouge palette last month at Ulta, but put it back last minute. I can't be happier with this Lucky Bag, and I will most likely buy next year's as well!
Did you buy this year's Lucky Bag? What did you get in yours?
Hi everyone! When I heard that the brand Sugarpill Cosmetics was coming out with an eyeshadow palette based on the movie Edward Scissorhands, I almost flipped out! This year marks its 25th anniversary, and now I feel really old. That movie has been one of my all-time favorites since I was a little girl, plus Johnny Depp is in it, so who wouldn't like it? I've never tried the Sugarpill brand before, but I've always heard good things about them!
I absolutely love the packaging of this palette. It's nice and slim, made of cardboard, and it has designs reminding me of the movie. It came in it's own cardboard sleeve as well, which kinda is a waste if you ask me. It also has a strong magnetic closure, which makes it good for travel.
I appreciate that this comes with its own mirror, and the size of the pans are pretty huge. You get a whopping 0.8 ounces of product per pan, which really is alot if you think about it and they'll last you forever. Onto some swatches!
Home Sweet Home: matte powder blue
Ice Angel: silvery white with iridescent blue sheen
The Inventor: creamy metallic gunmetal
Suburbia: flirty matte coral
Heart-Shaped Cookie: soft matte beige
Castle on the Hill: deep stone brown
For some reason, I wasn't as impressed with the swatches as I originally thought I was going to be. Every review I've seen has said how pigmented Sugarpill shadows are, but since I had never tried the brand before, I don't have anything to compare this to. On the eyes, they perform and blend well as long as I use a good primer. The colors are beautiful to look at in the pan, but overall I'm a bit underwhelmed, sadly.
The palette on its own costs $36, and is currently sold out on the Sugarpill website, but it says it'll be coming back soon, and it'll be the final shipment, so make sure you keep checking the site if you really want to get your hands on this. I purchased mine off of the Beautylish site, but I'm not certain if it'll come back there or not.
Have you tried this palette? What do you think of it?
Hey everyone! I know, it's been a long time again since my last post. Life got a little crazy for a bit, and I just launched my YouTube channel, so the blog took a hit, and for that, I'm sorry! I have to get into a routine between the blog and YouTube, so bear with me til I can figure it all out! Anyways, today's review is going to be on the very much talked about Bioderma. I was so excited when Beautylish was able to stock this so we can now get it here in the states.
Here is a bit about Bioderma from the Beautylish site:
Bioderma Sensibio H2O (also known as Créaline H2O) is a no-rinse
micellar cleanser and makeup remover specially formulated for sensitive,
normal to dry skin types. It can even remove water-resistant face and
eye makeup! A soothing emollient thanks to cucumber extract, it clears
up irritated skin and produces a feeling of instant freshness.
Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, and hypoallergenic.
I use Bioderma by taking either a cotton ball or pad, soaking it with the Bioderma solution, and then gently remove my makeup. This is safe to use around the delicate eye area, and I've had no issues whatsoever with irritation.
I have found this to be the most effective makeup remover that I have EVER tried, seriously. It takes off all foundation, concealer, lip product, eye product, just everything. I don't wear waterproof mascara, so I can't say if Bioderma removes it effectively, but with having usually two coats of mascara on my lashes, this removes it very easily. It removes eyeliner as well, but if I have eyeliner wedged between my lashes, it doesn't really remove all of it until I go in with my cleanser afterward. If I had a very light makeup day, most times Bioderma takes care of all my cleansing and toning needs and I can go straight into treatments and moisturizers.
It's pretty safe to say that I'm in love with Bioderma,, and as long as I have the funds for it, I will continue to repurchase. Beautylish carries three different sizes:
100 ml for $6.95
250 ml for $12.95
500 ml for $19.95
When I had originally purchased, I think Beautylish had a special deal going since it had just been launched, because I purchased a bundle of two 500 ml bottles and a 250 ml bottle for $39.95. I wish it was still on the site because that deal is just crazy. Maybe they will again at some point, who knows. They do also have different ranges for oily skin and dry skin, which is kinda neat. I'm tempted to try the one for oily skin, but since we're heading into colder months, I'll stick with this one for now!
If you're interested in trying out Bioderma, you can check out the Beautylish site.
Have you tried Bioderma before?
