My Sweet Sparkle May box

My Sweet Sparkle May Box



So grateful for another amazing box I have been given the chance to try. My Sweet Sparkle is always on top of their game and this months box was another hit. A box totaling up to $80 for just $24.99. And incase you didn't read my last post about them, they have free worldwide shipping and offer only full size products. I will leave the link here. It is also not to late to grab this box. You have till the end of this  month.


This months theme is Berry Crush. I received 5 full size items. No suprises here. Everyone will receive the same items and brands but they do send out one or two different shades.


My Favorite product this month is the Hikari Cosmetics eyeshadow quad called emma. It contains 3 lovely matte shades and one shimmer. They are buildable and blend out beautifully. I didn't have a hassle doing it either.


The swatches do it no justice. It is very lovely in person. I used the shimmer shade in the inner part of my lid, the lightest brown blended out over the crease, the berry shade in the outer corner of my eyelid and to add dimension I used the dark brown over the berry shade. You can wear it many other ways if you prefer.


The most priciest item in this months box is the doucce cosmetics Punk Volumizer mascara. This mascara retails for $24. A bit pricey for me but packaging feels high end and the wand itself is pretty large. This mascara provides really nice volume and I do find myself reaching for it a lot. It coats my lashes really nice and makes them look full. They can almost pass off as falsies.


Another Manna Kadar product this month and though I say another it doesn't mean I am not excited. Manna Kadar offers some amazing products. They are really great quality. This one is called the three in one blush, highlighter, and eyeshadow. Yes you heard it right. 3 in 1 and that's why this baby retails for $19.  


It's not a large pan but it feels very soft to the touch. You can use it with a wet brush to give you a more foiled look on the lid. It also looks so lovely on the inner corners and topped over a blush.


The final two lovely items in the box is the Starlooks ultra long wear liquid lipstick in the shade royalty ($19) and the kokie professional velvet smooth lipliner in the shade berry plum ($6).
They put together a lovely pair. The lip liner was very close in color to the liquid lipstick. It went on smoothly and helped line the lips well.


The Starlooks liquid lipstick on the other hand did feel a bit sticky. It dried down to a satin finish but the stickiness made it a bit uncomfortable. The shade is absolutely gorgeous it even adds a bit of dimension to the lips. Unless I really need to wear this exact shade, I am sure I will not be reaching for this one often.


As for the final touch to my review I love to put a look together using all the items I receive from their monthly box. I went for a night out look in the picture shown above. I also have a short video up on my Instagram of me creating this look if you would like to check it out. You can find my Instagram page by clicking the Instagram icon on the home page of this blog. Thank you all for checking out my post for tonight. If you have any questions about this subscription feel free to leave them in the comments. Have a lovely rest of your week.

Jord Watches Happy Friday. The holidays are lovely and all but It's also a breathe of fresh air when we can all go back to our normal schedule. Back to work or back to our regular roles, Would you agree? Wait! Do not Take such a big breathe of relief. Why?  Because we still have birthdays to plan and that special Valentine Gift to Think up. Let me help you out.... Hello There! Let me make your Year even sweeter with a new giveaway. Do not forget to enter in the link at the end of this post. Have you heard of a wood watch before?  I certainly did not. It never came to mind how beautiful and how fashionable they would look. When Jord Watches contacted me to ask If I would love to try one of their watches I just couldn't refuse. Instead of choosing one for myself I thought It would be a great idea to pick out something for the hubby. He has a wonderful collection of watches (Perfect to time me when I am shopping Haha) So I felt that...

Today on the blog I will be introducing you to a luxury skincare brand with the perfect eye cream you really want to know about. This product was gifted to me but they have given me time to test so that I can provide my honest opinion and results.  History Behind this brand First off this brand is completely new to me but has been a queens secret till after her death. Byrne victor created this amazing and yet secret formula for queen josephine (Napoleans wife) It was kept secret till she died and finally brought to light by one of his offspring around world war 2.

It arrived in a beautiful leather bag with a soft interior (Definitely, very Fancy)   The size I received is the 5ML (Smaller size) and retail...

Too Faced unicorn tears lipstick

      My first too faced lipstick. The price always pushes me away me from buying. But this specific lipstick had me frantically searching my local Ulta and Sephora. I got lucky at Ulta. For a $22 lipstick this is beautiful and totally worth it. At first glance you expect it would go on light blue right? Wrong! You can not even tell it will be a metallic lipstick or that you will even get some pink from it.             When I first saw swatches on instagram I knew I needed this baby in my life. I love unique lipsticks. It goes on a light pink tint topped with metallic blue with a little bit of purple shimmer.  The shine on this baby is unexplainable. Its a lipstick that screams futuristic, artistic and girly all at once in my opinion. I love it. You can not feel the shimmer even after it begins to fade. You even forget your wearing a lipstick.             ...
