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!

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

Ipsy: March Throwback

First of all, this is one of the cuuuutest bag I've gotten in a while! This bag was probably about 50/50 on how I liked the actual products I received, but keep reading for a cool surprise in the end! This is the NYX Liquid Suede lipstick and I really enjoyed it! I was wary of this color when I first pulled it out, but after putting it on I found out that it was really pretty!!  It dries very matte, and lasts quite a while.  This is a really pretty eyeshadow, it is the brand Manna Kadar in the color Fantasy.  It is a pretty basic color and the packaging is kind of cheap, but it is a nice full size, so I'm not mad at it! I never wear my hair straight three days in a row... This is a nice product from Marc Anthony again, and it smells good, it just isn't something I will use often. This is the Pixie blush and highlighter duo in rose gold, and it was sooooo pretty!  And then it fell off my sink and instantly broke on the edge.  And then it ...
