October's LooksBook


LooksBooks Mini is a monthly subscription box by Starlooks. As you may know by my other reviews Starlooks also has a custom monthly box called Starbox. Both subscriptions cost just $12 a month with free shipping to US, $5 to ship to Canada.

Every month's book is unique and collectable. Each book contains 3 brand new Limited Edition Starlooks cosmetics. Once these products sell out, they are gone for good.

Each books has 3 "Perfect Sized: items that come in a travel friendly book. There are also tips and tutorials included in the box. The book fits perfectly in your purse.

LooksBook members get money towards more Starlooks cosmetics on starlooks.comand money towards past LooksBooks, which sell for $19.99 after their release date. So you can stock up on your favorites.



This month's theme is UTOPIA and the book includes:

Cream Blush in Abstract
Cream Liner/Eye Base in Concrete
&
Lip Gloss in Ideal

I love the cream blush stick. You can apply it right to your skin or use a blush or liquid foundation brush. You apply it to the apple of your cheeks and use a matte bronzer under your cheek bone, and lightly blend. It is a coral/bronzey color

The Concrete Cream Liner/Eye Base is a taupe color. It can be applied to the eye with a liner brush to line the eyes, or can be applied to the whole eye lid as a natural eye base. It looks gorgeous with a black liner.

The Ideal Lip Gloss is a gorgeous rosy shade. It is a light, silky, non-stick formula. It is great for any skin tone and any occasion day or night. Apply it over your favorite neutral, matte lip color to add sheen and a subtle hint of Autumn Rose or apply alone to bring out your lips natural rosy tones.

I followed the tips and tutorials that were included, I loved the look Starlooks put together, these colors are perfect for fall. When I first seen them I loved the colors, I added the gloss over a matte red lipstick and added black liner to my eyes. That is what is great about these LooksBooks, they help you create looks with colors you might of never thought to try together.


The subscription also includes 3 gift cards:

Starlooks Boutique - $5 towards your boutique purchase.

Ohuhu


Makeup Cosmetics Organizer Storage Box




I love to be organized and I love makeup, so much so that I have 3 of these organizers and plan to buy a few more. I wish these came in the size of a dresser, then it might come close to holding all my makeup (if we don't count polish that is). I love these acrylic organizers, they make it so easy to find what i'm looking for. I have my organizers on my vanity, they look gorgeous and keep my vanity from looking messy. Since I have so much makeup, I fill these organizers with my favorite, most used products. 





The 3 drawers slide out easily and hold quite a bit. To give you an idea about how much the drawers hold, I was able to fit all three of my Coastal Scents Revealed Palettes in one drawer. My Urban Decay palettes fit as well. There is also plenty of space on top for lipsticks, glosses, foundation, brushes etc. The acrylic is crystal clear and flawless. I highly recommend this organizer for makeup but it would also be great for jewelry, craft supplies etc. I received this product in exchange for an honest review. You can purchase this product HERE!

Essential Makeup Removing Wipe
 And 
Underarm Deodorant Wipes


Pacifica has sent me two new products to tryout. Both product will be exclusively sold at Ulta. Both products are 100% Vegan and Cruelty-free. They are also biodegradable. Pacifica makes amazing products for women. They do their part to take care of the environment by using recyclable materials, creating less waste, and using sustainable ingredients. They never test on animals and are certified by PETA.


The first product is one I was waiting for. Underarm Deodorant Wipes. These biodegradable wipes are made with a blend of essential oils and coconut milk. They neutralize odor and keep you smelling fresh for hours. One of my favorite things about these wipes is that they are aluminum-free and free of harsh chemicals. I live in Florida, so these wipes are a must have item. It is so hot and humid here. Sometimes you need to freshen up! The pack fits in my purse, so I have them whenever I need one. These are also great to throw in your beach bag. I love these wipe I have been using them for a couple weeks now. They help take care of odor and remove perspiration. They really cool you down when you need it. They smell amazing and feel great on your skin! Most importantly I feel good about what i'm using on my body. These wipes are good for all skin types. I will absolutely continue to use these and they are very affordable at just $10 a pack.


The second product is Essential Makeup Removing Wipes. These biodegradable towelettes are made with coconut milk, aloe vera, jojoba oil and infused with jasmine. They smell amazing as well. They gently remove makeup and leaving your skin looking and feeling amazing. We all have those nights, where we are just so tired and we don't feel like taking off our makeup. But its important to remove your makeup before bed and these wipes make it easy. These wipes remove makeup and daily pollutants from your face, leaving your skin fresh and bright. I keep packs in my purse, nightstand and vanity. These work so well, I have been using them for a couple weeks now. They easily remove all my makeup. My skin is so much softer now, I love what the oils have been doing for my skin. These wipes are good for all skin types. These wipe are only $6 a pack. I definitely recommend both wipes.
