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!

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it!  And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all! This is actually two items from my shipment!  This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together!   Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights.  They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad.  If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings.  They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them. The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy.  I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic.  This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it! These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I received

2018 Recap Part Two (August-December)

(If you missed Part One, January-July, you can find it here! ) August We kicked August off with a bang and dove right into another vacation, this time to the Outer Banks of North Carolina!  We started our trip with another aquarium, and a few nights at this gorgeous little Bed and Breakfast in Manteo. While there we also had the opportunity to see The Lost Colony outdoor Drama.  I highly recommend, it was amazing! But be warned, Manteo breeds a different kind of mosquito than everywhere else, and they WILL just pick you up and carry you away! My mom and I were just dying to see the Ocean even though the island we were currently on was landlocked and Dad had just told us to be patient and wait until we got to our Condo a few days later.  We didn't listen, and after shopping one night we took the car down to a public entrance to see the sunset and feel the sand between our toes.  It did not disappoint!  Until I got squared by a wave...
