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!

DIY Beach Spray

 I always wanted the Beach Spray for your hair that gives you the just came off of the beach wavy look, but there so dang expensive! So this is a recipe you can use to make your own!  Things You'll Need Plastic spray bottle 1 tsp. sea salt 8 oz. water 1/2 - 1 tsp. coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner Lemon Juice 3 drops essential oil (optional) Instructions Pour water into the plastic spray bottle. Add sea salt, NOT table salt. The more salt you add, the more "crunchy," textured and beach like your hair will feel. Add moisturizer to combat the drying factor of the salt. Use coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner. Avoid adding more than a teaspoon because it can weigh down your hair. Add a few drops of lemon juice to your mixture if you plan on being out in the sun at all. Cute hair and highlights, Score! :) Add essential oil for fragrance and additional benefits.

Outer Banks 2013: Day 5, Tuesday June 11th

9:00 AM Just woke up :) I am learning to sleep straight through my brother waking up at ungodly times ;) We made a run to Food Lion again last night to get some more of the Blueberry Cream Cheese muffins for Breakfast, so I had one of those. I think I am in love! They are just amazing :) The more I look the more places I find on me that are sunburned! We decided to spend the day off of the beach today, so maybe it will feel better by tomorrow :) 10:10 AM I know I don't usually do favorites posts or anything, so can I add a small one into here? It is the L'oreal Magic Skin BB Cream.  I had never really fallen into the BB Cream craze because I have oily skin and it just sounded like a tinted moisturizer. My mom bought this one and I just decided to try it, I love it! It has a very matte finish, so it is perfect for me :) My only issue with it is that my mom got the medium shade and I think it might be a little dark/orange-y on me. But either way, it is a great pr...

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did??  I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels.  They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well!  I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one.  But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection.  The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile."  It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs.  I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones!  I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it?  But no...
