Sephora Play Box September 2017 - my last one!!!

Fall Into Beauty

A Change of Face

After a year and two months, it's time to cancel and move to another subscription box.

Sometimes I wished that they gave products that were catered to owns skin considering that we have a skincare/makeup profile attached to our Sephora Play account.

1. Benefit Cosmetics - Gimme Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel in Deep
2. Sephora Collection - Contour Eye Pencil 12hr Wear Waterproff in Black Lace - who doesn't love a black eyeliner
3. Algenist - Power Recharging Night Pressed Serum - this was interesting, it was a lightweight night cream that you have to dig into the container to scoop some out but it melts right into your face. I really liked this one too.
4. Urban Decay - Vice Liquid Lipstick in Amulet - I'm not mad about this color, but I think I made have too many of this dusty rose color.
5. Belief - The True Cream Aqua Bomb - I love this cream but I must have got in about 5 times in the past 14 play boxes.
6. Bonus - Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisble Oil Shampoo and Conditioner - I know that some people thought that perfumes were a pain but I prefer perfumes over one-time use of shampoo and conditoners.

I gotta be honest, this bag was the best that I've had so far and I see myself using all the products, but it's too late in the game (after 14 boxes) and sad to say but I'm cancelling.

Lancome Advanced Genifique Serum Skincare Set

2-Pc. Advanced Genifique Serum Skincare Set

Advanced Génifique Serum, 1 fl oz
Very tingling on my skin meaning this isn't for people with sensitive skin.
I passed this on to my mom after using it three times.
Not repurchasing.

Advanced Génifique Eye Light Pearl Eye Serum, 0.67 fl oz
Very drying on my sensitive eye area.
Not repurchasing.

BoxyCharm September 2017 review

BoxyCharm September 2017

Boxy Baddie

This is my first Boxycharm and I loved it!

1. PUR Cosmetics Soiree Diaries Eyeshadow Palette - I have worn this everyday to work since I've got it. I love the shimmer colors. The pigmentation is amazing. 
2. MAC Cosmetics Eyebrow Pencil - With this product that I've got, I started to do my eyebrows and everyone has complimented me since.
3. Studio Makeup Luminous Loose Blush - I thought that I wouldn't like this, but the color is so beautiful on my light skin.
4. bareMinerals Perfecting Face Foundation Brush - I don't mind it but I rarely use foundation brushes because I love cushion foundations so much. But it's OK to not like 1 out of 6 products.
5. Briogeo Don't Despair Repair Hair Mask - I love this hair conditioner, I've used it before from a deluxe sample from Sephora but was too scared to buy the full sized product because of the price.
6. ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip - this would be my first colourPop product and my first satin lip product. I've never been able to buy my first colourpop item because I never felt the need, but now I can try it and see if the products are right for me.

MEG 21 Brightening Exfoliating Scrub

MEG 21 Brightening Exfoliating Scrub
BRIGHT & CLEAR Exfoliating Scrub

I received this product complimentary from 0.8L and MEG21 in exchange for my honest opinion. I got this product for free from 0.8L and MEG 21 in exchange for my honest opinion.  I didn't think much of this, but it was perfect for people with sensitive skin. It has a brightening and clear effect. I love the fruity grape or citrus scent from the tiny beads when I'm exfoliating my skin. Overall, my skin feels fresh and glowing afterwards.

Plus the packaging looks fancy haha.

Punta Cuna CHIC Royalton Resort

This is my first Caribbean trip-yes, I live in the US and never took a trip to the Caribbean.
I decided to participate in the all-inclusive resort.
It was a short 4 hour flight from the morning and landed in Punta Cuna in the afternoon.

We exited outside the plane and felt the nice breeze.

Look how cute the airport terminals are!! 
We didn't book a car to pick us up ahead of time, so luckily the airport representatives were happy to help us and guided us to the car service companies. It was about $35 per person.

The lobby looks very nice and there were drinks in the room free of charge.

The night lights are so pretty.

The International Buffet is better than the 4 restaurants that are offered.

We tried the Sushi restaurant and both of us had upset stomachs the morning after.

Definitely try the omelets, so good!

Fruits were so sweet, especially the papaya.

I didn't spend any money until the end of my trip while I was at the Duty Free shops.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss-Petal

Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Gloss-Petal

I was so surprised on how pigmented this lip gloss was.
Just calling this a lip gloss doesn't do it justice.
This should be called liquid lipstick.
It is full coverage and it doesn't feel dry.
It also lasted my entire 8 hours shift at work and I didn't need to reapply after lunch.
I'm so glad that I order 2 of these because these just became my favorite lip products!

Etude House - ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Pencil 0.5g #48

Etude House - ETUDE HOUSE Play 101 Pencil 0.5g #48

I love this eyeliner.
Very pigmented and the brown looks very natural.
Very creamy.
I will be repurchasing it the next time I see it in the stores.

Becca Perfect Skin Mineral Powder Foundation

I'm very disappointed in this powder foundation. All the hype around becca products have disappointed me. I've only used a brush to apply it to my face so maybe I should try using a damp beauty blender next time.
Moisturizing - no
Coverage - light
Wear -  matte
Dewy Glow - none
Lasting Power - ok
Oxidizing - none
Scent - none

Not very blendable and not much coverage unless you use ALOT. Looks very chalky. But one good thing about it is that it felt weightless, I didn't feel as if I had foundation on.
