Marc Jacobs Beauty

So last year I was lucky enough to receive a Marc Jacobs Beauty VoxBox from Influenster!  I was by far more excited about this VoxBox than any other I had yet to receive.  But... I got lazy, and even though I took the pictures, I never ended up making a full post about it.  Well, flash forward to 2019 and guess what I get a notification about?  I am going to be getting ANOTHER VoxBox from Marc Jacobs Beauty!  I was ecstatic.  And this time, I was determined to let you all know about it.  But while we're here, why not show off what I got last year as well!

So this is how the boxes come packaged.  Black box, black packaging, black paper, all very dark and sleek.  This lipstick claims to be 16 hour long wear with a liquid matte feel in a crayon.  I don't agree with that statement completely, but it does have a very nice creamy feel and last as long as would be typical for a crayon.

I received the shades Night Mauves, which is on top, and Send Nudes, which is below it. The website says that "each shade has a precise dose of innovative 'ghost pearl' in a complementary or contrast tint to give lips added dimension."  I have never heard of ghost pearl, but you can see the difference in the complementary and contrasting pearl additions, because on the lips the lighter color appears much more shimmery than the darker.

 This is the remainder of the shade range in the line.  The ones I received are the farthest two to the left.  They appear very similar on the website and on the packaging, but once applied there is a noticeable difference.  They are $32 each, and though they only have three stars from three reviews on their website, but I wholeheartedly disagree with that!


Now stick concealers have never been my favorite, but this one might just change my mind!  It is very creamy and easy to blend over blemishes.  It is not as full coverage as I am used to with my liquid concealers, but it does have a nice finish.  I would definitely reccomend this for blemishes instead of the under eye area though.  When I tried it under my eyes I noticed it had a tendency to settle into lines.
As far as shade ranges go, this is definitely not the most extensive.  The difference in undertones is very noticeable in the lighter shades, which is nice, but there are not nearly enough deeper shades to fully accommodate the market.  This concealer works for me, but it won't work for everyone.

I received the shade Fair 16, which looks a bit to light a yellow toned in the picture, but on the face it blends out really nicely.  Overall, I really like it!  I will probably still keep my old concealer in rotation because it is more full coverage, but I will be using this one for smaller or lighter blemishes.

Thank you again Influenster for both of these boxes!  Even though they were a year apart, I still wanted to share with you the fun I have had trying out these new products!  10/10 would reccomend, both Influenster, and Marc Jacobs.  If you have any interest in signing up for Influenster so you can also receive free products to try you can sign up here!

My Petal Club

A new box!  And a PERIOD subscription box at that!  I love finding new boxes to try out, especially when they are this affordable!  This box is normally $6.99 per month, but if you use the discount code "SUMMER" on mypetalclub.com , this box will be only $3.50!  And let's be honest, one box of pads/tampons is usually more expensive than that, so why not give it a try?? So this box primarily consists of just the period products with very few extras.  This isn't one of the present, feel-good kind of boxes, it just provides you with the necessary products to get through the month, at an affordable price. Step One The first thing you do on their website is choose the combination of products you will need.  Be warned, you aren't given as much of a selection if you order through Cratejoy like I did.  It worked totally fine and I still got the products I needed, but I like choice!  So I suggest going straight through their website....

Girls Night In!

Time to unwind with a girls night!  If you are like me and my adorable roomie, you just completed a week of mind numbing midterms and you need to unwind.   Priority number one is getting into the comfiest possible clothes that you own, bonus points if you have super cute matching pjs unlike me... My top pick is my boyfriends flannel (which is huge on me! <3) and leggings with fuzzy socks.   If you want to go the comfy but cute route, Adore Me has sleepwear ranging from sexy slips and camis if you are having a night in with your significant other, cute sweats for a girls night like we are having, and robes if you just need something to cuddle up in and be extra cozy! I highl y reccomend them!  And, just like with their bra and panty sets, your first set is only $25! Step two is to slap on a face mask! In the picture above I am wearing the Glam Glow SuperMud, which is not pictured because I only have a small Sephora sample, but it work...

Let's Talk...

I feel so bad, I have been such a flake with posting recently and the past month is when I should have been really focused on getting out content, because.... My summer classes started this week. And they are intense. Like, more so than I expected and I'm only a week in. Also, I just got my Summer schedule for the daycare I work at, and instead of my normal 9:30-5:30, I was switched to  6:00-12:30 ...  That is a huge difference, I've never gotten up that early in my life!  It is a lot better in some ways because I now have my full days free, but it's a difficult sleep schedule to get used to.   As a result, I've been spending my mornings at work, and my evenings doing homework, or attempting to have a social life...  This is my last Summer before college after all, so I want to have fun!  But it just makes things more difficult when I need to be in bed early for work, balance homework, and then there is this blog. I love having this...
