Unboxing Boxycharm September 2014, Fashion week fabulous!

Hi everyone! 

I got my September Boxycharm today. I’m glad about the colors this month. (Last month got some really odd colors for my color profile.) Overall I like this box, though I’m getting kind of sick of getting Hello by Harvey Prince. It has been in literally every subscription box I’ve gotten. I’m so glad about the Tarina Tarantino collab with boxycharm, I’m really pumped about this mascara! New subscribers to boxycharm get the hyperlight we got in an old box, so this is exciting. Ths is a pretty good fall themed box with dark NCLA nail polish, perfume, lip gloss (ick), mascara, and fall colored eyeshadow.

This box also included 2 coupon codes:

1. 10% off mynamenecklace.com – BOXYCHARM
2. 20% off tarte.com – FALLBOXY (10/10 – 10/24)

All of the items laid out

This is the intro card to the box:

Items listed on card included

The items!

Tarte lipsurgence lip gloss in tipsy:

This was the color I wanted so I’m glad I got it. Still not the biggest fan of lip gloss though.

Coastal Scents London Go Palette:

I really wanted the Moscow one, but this was my second favorite. I’m glad there is a red shade in this! Coastal Scents is an ok brand, but I’ve never had a problem with them. Their eyeshadows aren’t always so pigmented, but I love the Revealed palette I have from them that is a dupe of Naked 1 and Naked 2 from Urban Decay.

NCLA Nail Lacquer

I love funky nail polish colors, and this dark color is perfect for fall! I’m so sick of the red/pink nail polish.

Tarina Tarantino Mascara (Fleur de lash)

I need a new mascara, and this came at the perfect time. I like the look of the brush on this, but it looks a little clumpy. I’ll see how it goes after using it for a bit.

Harvey Prince Hello

I actually already bought the full-sized version of this with Birchbox points. I wear it sometimes. I really like the scent, but this has been in literally every subscription box I’ve seen. I wish they’d move onto a new scent. ಠ_ಠ

My first indies – Glamour Doll Eyes

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the delay in posting – it’s been a hectic 2 weeks. Recently I received samples from Glamour Doll Eyes (Link to site, no affiliate). Glamour Doll Eyes is a little more established than say, an indie favorite I’ve been watching, Hello Waffle (still love HW a lot!). I picked out 6 samples I would like to try, and I’m probably not the best person to pick. Ha. I picked colors I thought I didn’t have in my collection, or I loved. So, I ended up with greens (foresty, mint), white, bright pink, gold, and a purple.

As you can see the colors are really pretty. Also, there is a coupon to Sedona Lace. Use glamourdoll to get $4.00 off your order.

I picked 6 samples: Midnight Kiss, Candy Floss, Oddity, Mackinac, Gold Digger, Angel Wings. These are from various collections (Blogger, Best Seller, Circus).

They use the shiny black tops that a lot of other brands use as well.

I really like the packaging on these because I like when items are sealed. coughLooking at you Nyx cough

Midnight Kiss is the purple that I ordered. On their site it is described as purple with a red and blue shift. the red shift is a little more subtle than the blue shift in person. I personally find it to be a pretty cool toned silver with a much more noticeable blue shift than red.

I love how bright this color is! It’s a bright fuchsia with a cool shimmer! It definitely needs a primer underneath it though. If you go down to the swatches you can see tht it isn’t as bright if there isn’t primer. Here is a link to the item: http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_32&products_id=851

This is my favorite eyeshadow out of the ones sampled. The payoff on this shade is great and I love the foresty/warm green. This is something I would wear a lot. Link to item: http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=92_95_99&products_id=460

I love mint greens, but I kind of wish this one was more matte. It’s payoff is pretty good, but it’s reallllly shimmery. Link to item: http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=92_106_107&products_id=926

I wanted to love this one. I love greens and golds, but something about it falls flat. I think I wanted it to be a bit more shimmery. It photographs well, but in person I wish it was a bit brighter I think.

I thought I needed a white, lol. The payoff on this is good and it’s pretty close to a pure white, just has a cool toned shimmer. Link to item: http://www.glamourdolleyes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=31_32&products_id=592

Primer is definitely needed under most of these, but color payoff without them isn’t bad. Oddity is by far the most pigmented.

Overall thoughts:

These are nicely formulated, but you definitely need a primer under them because they won’t stay on long. I am preferential to NARS Smudgeproof. The colors are beautiful, though they don’t blend all their colors themselves (some are the ones they buy from their distributor). I think that is a little odd. Some of the colors fell flat for me (Mackinac, Gold Digger), but I looooove Oddity.

Pop Basic Sneak Peak and $15 Code!

Hi everyone!

I hope you enjoyed my last post about . You can find it here. If you weren’t sure about next month, here’s a sneak peak to get you excited!

The sneak peak!

There are three items next month:

1. A grey leather bag with rose gold hardware
2. A white tee
3. A light grey and white stripe snood

What is a snood you say? (I had no idea what this was until I searched for it.) A snood is kind of like an infinity scarf, but you can put it over your head:

The code – click right here.

I originally thought it would be a code you put in, but it’s actually a referral code. You get $15 on your first purchase, so it can apply to whichever collection you would like.

 

As a recap:

What is  ?

Pop Basic is a startup fashion/beauty company that curates microcollections that help you build staples in your wardrobe. There are typically 3 items (always one clothing piece and one accessory piece). All of these items are manufactured/branded as Popbasic.  Each micocollection is limited edition. There are 8 previous collections (Beta, Sherwood, Salut!, Serendipity, Lost, Rubi, Melodie, and the Sunday). The current collection is the Ashbury, and that is what I was sent to review!
