UNBOXING- BEAUTYCON BFF WINTER BOX!

Hello everyone! This is my last post of the year! I can't believe it! This year was definitely amazing! There were so many things that happened and I can't wait to see what 2016 is all about! For my last post of the year, I am introducing a new subscription box on the blog! As much as I love my Ipsy subscription, I wanted to venture off into more beauty subscriptions.I have tried 4 different subscriptions and I've loved every one of it. But as someone who loves experimenting with new products, I like to try out new things. With that being said, I want to introduce the Beautycon Bff winter box! This subscription box is $29.00 seasonally so you get 4 boxes throughout the year. One for each season. This winter box was specifically curated by Youtube sensation Bethany Mota! So basically, each product in this box was personally picked out by her! I really like her sense of style and personality so I know I liked this box. The products in this box is amazing and there's so many stuff! Please continue reading if you want to see what's inside! Lets start!

1) NIKE $20 GIFT CARD & AEROPOSTALE $10 GIFT CARD

I was not expecting two gift cards in here at all!  It's cool how these two gift cards already add up to the amount of this subscription box! The Nike box is so small and cute! :D I just find that the value of the products in this box costs so much more than the price we actually pay for. I can't wait to go shopping :p

2) REVLON HD LIPSTICK IN SHADE "OBSESSION"

I am so happy that I got this in my box! It's the new Revlon liquid lipstick and I've been wanting to try it. This is a really bright and intense color so I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off. It is such a pretty shade though. I'll have to see how it goes. With me being a sucker for any lipsticks, I will make this work!

3) MINNIE MOUSE EARS AND TATTOO STICKERS

I love this! It's sooooo cute! I probably won't be using the minnie mouse ears so much but I'm really tempted to use those cute jewelry inspired tattoos. I have been wanting to try out these kinds of tattoos so maybe I'll give these ones a try.

4) SOAP AND GLORY HAND CREAM

I have always wanted to try any Soap and Glory products! I was not expecting much from a hand cream but I really like this one. First of all, it smells sooo good! I love a good hand cream smell. And second, it makes my hands so soft. During the winter my hands tend to crack and it really hurts. This cream is so nourishing and cools it down and it's also not greasy at all. I love it! It's also so little so I like to carry around :p

5) GARNIER FULL AND PLUSH ROOT AMP

I love my hair and I love when I get things for my hair! I just wish I can use it more though! I don't really style my hair much  but with this product, I am going to love styling it more! I really do like Garnier's products so I'm excited to try this out.

6) MAYBELLINE THE FALSIES PUSH UP DRAMA MASCARA

I have been wanting to try this one so bad and I am so happy I got this in here! The brush for this mascara looks really unique and I'm so excited to try it out. Since I'm really liking mascaras these days, I always like to try and use different products. Who knows, maybe this one will be a favorite of mine.

7) MURAD HYDRATING TONER

I have tried Murad's products once. I had a membership at a Massage place and I tried a professional facial with their products. It felt really nice because I had a nice face massage and all my pores were cleaned. It felt really nice and I really wanted to try more products from Murad so I'm excited for this one. I don't really use toners but I like that it's a sample size so I can just try it out.

8) ESSIE NAIL POLISH IN SHADE "MARSHMALLOW"

I honestly love white nail polishes! This one will definitely not look like I put highlighter on. It has a little yellow in it so it's not too white. It makes my nails look long and sleek. 

9) COLOURPOP SUPER SHOCK HIGHLIGHTER "STOLE THE SHOW"

Yay! Another colourpop product! I love love love colourpop! I'm just mad that my colourpop highlighter kind of broke. I don't know if you can tell but the product kind of got smashed :( I tried to put it together but it won't go back to its original look. But I do love colourpop's highlighter because the quality is just so good. I especially like how my highlight looks  under the powder highlighter. It just really emphasized my highlight. I'm super excited to use this one. 

10) GOLD DIGGER NOTEBOOK SIGNED BY BETHANY MOTA

This is so cute! Goal digger! I use to love writing in notebooks. I used to be a diary girl where I write down my thoughts and feelings. This notebook will be a great start to start writing again. I also love that it's signed by Bethany! It's so cool. I love it! I really liked this box!  I'm very excited for the spring box and I can't wait for it! :D

LORAC- MEGA PRO PALETTE 2 FIRST IMPRESSION

Hello everyone! I'm back with another first impression post! It's the Lorac mega PRO palette 2! AHHHHH!!!! I'm so happy!!! For some reason I did not hear about the first mega palette and I was bummed that I never got my hands on one! There are so many holiday palettes coming out this season that I was so indecisive about which one I should get. I decided to get this one and I am so happy I did! I am so thrilled! I have been using this palette right when I got it. There are 32 different colors and I just feel like I can create any looks with it. I am a huge fan of Lorac's make-up line so I knew I was going to love it! There seems to be mixed reviews about this palette though. When I first saw that this palette was going to come out, I was hesitant to get it because I didn't like the colors as much as the ones I saw in the first palette. But as I continue to do my research I started to like it more and more. I saw gorgeous swatches of the colors and I was drawn to it more and more. I knew I had to get it!

Here is a close up of the colors. I've had this palette for a while now so you can see that I have been using some colors. Of course I couldn't wait because I was so eager to try them! I love the packaging. It's like all of Lorac's packaging with a simple writing in the front. Of course I've mentioned before that I didn't really like the texture of Lorac's products because it gets dirty pretty quickly. It's hard to maintain the quality of the exterior but I'm more in it for the colors than the packaging. The price of this palette is $59. Not bad at all for 32 different colors that are good quality. Lorac's shadows never disappoint me. The palette is a little big but still perfect enough to travel with in my opinion.

 

Here are swatches of some of the eyeshadows. Isn't it beautiful? The formulation are so buttery like all of Lorac's eye shadows. 

I love this palette! There are just so many beautiful colors and it's so pigmented. Go get your hands on one if you haven't already! Get it before it's gone! You won't regret it! :D

BECCA- CHAMPAGNE GLOW PALETTE FIRST IMPRESSION

Hi everyone! Today I will be talking about the BeccaxJaclyn Hill champagne glow palette! This is a limited edition palette that features the infamous shimmering skin perfector "champagne pop" highlight by the one and only Jaclyn Hill. If you have not heard of this highlighter then where have you been?! I have been beating myself up trying to decide if I really wanted the "champagne pop"  highlighter because I heard so many good things about it and so many people are using it. And then I heard that this palette was coming out and I knew I had to get this one instead. It was the best decision ever! It not only comes with "champagne pop" but it also features two more colors. "pearl" and "blushed copper". Both of the colors are amazing! I have been using all three colors and I just love it. The pan size of this palette are a smaller but a little goes a long way with these. When I saw this palette I was in awe at how beautiful it was. The gold packaging got me. It is $34.00 and it is so worth it. If you are debating about getting this palette, go and get it! I think it's totally worth the hype not just because of Jaclyn but because this is a good quality makeup product. It is totally worth the investment. You won't regret it!

I only recently discovered Jaclyn Hill's channel but I already love it. I keep up with her videos every time she uploads one. Her videos are so good and I can see that she's very dedicated in making sure her subscribers get only high quality videos. That is why she's so inspiring and many people subscribe and follow her channel. 

 This is my very first Becca purchase and I really do love it! I have been obsessed with this palette ever since I got it. I have been using all three shades religiously. I combine the pearl and champagne pop as my highlight which I'm sure everyone does. And, I use the blushed copper as my blush. At first I was a little hesitant about this blush because it looked so dark. But, it wasn't at all. I mean it is a little darker but I'm sure if you find a way to work it, I know you'll love it. I feel like this palette gives me that summer glow. I love it. I know it's Fall now but I'm still really liking the bronzy and glowy look!

Here are swatches of the colors. The formulation of this product is so soft and smooth. If I own more of Becca's products maybe I'll know if all the products are formulated similarly. But I'm sure it is. I really hope they are still selling this palette because you really missed out if you couldn't get your hands on one! Overall, you can probably tell that I love this palette and it's definitely a good investment this holiday!
