Hey
all!
I know
I’m late..... again with the Box Showdown but I wanted to get this one up since it
was my first month receiving the Sephora: Play Box!
Just a
reminder of the standings IPSY:2 BIRCHBOX:1 SEPHORA PLAY: 0 & BOXYCHARM:2
Let’s
jump right in!!
IPSY
eSalon: Perfect Ending: I have been LOVING this
product which is huge for me because I am a huge fan of It’s a 10. This was
only a sample size (1fl oz) but a pretty hefty one! The full size (5fl oz) is
$15.00. I will be picking this up for sure!
First Aid Beauty: Ultra Repair
Hydrating Serum:
I love First Aid Beauty so I can’t wait to try out their serum which the full
size retails for $36.00
Makeup Forever: Step 1 Skin
Equalizer Hydrating Primer:
This is a great hydrating primer for my girls and boys out there with dry skin!
It wears beautifully under makeup! The travel size is $17.00 and the Full Size
is $37.00
Pixi by Petra: Beauty Blush Duo
in Rose Gold:
I was surprised out how amazing this product was! It blends easily and the
highlight is gorgeous! Apparently this is only a sample size… I totally thought
it was the full size but then I saw the full size at target for $18.00 and it
is at least twice the size of this one. The full size also comes with a Kabuki
brush. I think it is worth the money!
Vera Mona: Clover Eyeshadow: This is a very pretty pink and
gives a very subtle pop of color if you wear it dry. I like to really make it
pop by spraying it with fix+ before applying it. This is part of the Lotus
Color Switch Palette which retails for $32.99. (side note the color switch is
amazing if you don’t have one, get one! I got mine for $12.00 on Sephora)
BIRCHBOX
Amika: Perk Up Dry Shampoo: I have been on the hunt for a
good dry shampoo so I can’t wait to try this out! Full Size is $24.00
FHI Brands: Hot Sauce Thermal
Heat-Activated Conditioner:
This is not actual Hot Sauce! I have never heard of this brand before so I
can’t wait to try this out. The full size is $16.00
theBalm Cosmetics: Stainiac in
Beauty Queen:
I love theBalm so I got super excited when I saw I had a product from them this
month. Unfortunately, this lip/cheek stain didn’t do much for me when I
swatched it. I am gonna try it one more time but this may end up being passed
along. The Full size is $17.00.
treStiQue: Color & Smudge
Shadow Crayon in Aspen Pine:
You guys know by now that I am a huge fan of the Shadow crayons and this one is
a beautiful green! I can’t wait to play around with this beauty. The full size
is $26.00
Wilma Schumann Skin Care:
Hydrating Collagen Eye Pads:
These pads are supposed to brighten the under eye area which I need! So
hopefully these do the trick. The full size is $18.00
PLAY BY
SEPHORA
Murad:Invisiblur Perfecting
Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 30:
This is a sample size (full size- $65). I have been looking for a sunscreen to
wear under my makeup so I can’t wait to try this one out especially with Disney
approaching!
Fresh: Soy Face Cleanser: I was so sad when I saw this
in the box L
I have an allergy to one of the ingredients used so I won’t be able to try this
out! The full size is $38.00.
Sephora Collection: The
Perfectionist:
I am assuming this is Sephora’s version of the Beauty Blender which I believe
this is a full size version of it which retails for $12.00. I will give this a
try as I’m always looking for a cheaper alternative to the Beauty Blender.
Smashbox: Photo Finish Primer
Oil: I
believe that this product is new so there isn’t much I know about it. I will
have to give an update on my thoughts in an update post soon. The full size is
$40.00
Kat Von D: Tattoo Liner in
Trooper: 😻 !!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been wanting to try this liner for MONTHS! So I let out
a very loud squeal when I saw it in the box. The full size is $19.00.
Maison Martin Margiela:
‘REPLICA’ Beach Walk:
I have received this perfume sample before and it just doesn’t mix well with my
body chemistry which sucks because I think it smells amazing! The full size is
$125.00
BOXYCHARM
Makeup Geek: Frappe- I was so excited when I saw
that Makeup Geek was going to be in the box! I love their eyeshadows and Frappe
is one of my favorites! This is a matte maple-medium brown color that is
pigmented and blends easily. This retails for $6.00
Makeup Geek: Mai Tai- Mai Tai is new to my
collection. It is a Duochrome eyeshadow that retails for $6.00. According to
the MG website it is an apricot color with orchard reflects.
Ofra: Body Illuminizer in
Charmer- With summer approaching I am looking forward
to trying this out. From the swatch I did on the back of my hand it looks like
it is going to give the skin a nice glow. This is full size and retails for $39.95
Catherine Malandrino: Style de
Paris Perfume-
This perfume smells amazing! To me this has a candy scent but not too sweet! I
love this size, it makes it perfect for throwing it in purse if I’m on the run.
It retails for $20.00
Luxie Beauty: 512 Small
Countouring Brush-
I love getting brushes in my Boxycharm!! This brush is super soft. I’m not sure
how I feel about this as a contour brush but I will try it out! It retails at $16.00
Chella: Tantalizing Taupe
Eyebrow Pencil- I feel like everyone is coming
out with brow pencils! Hopefully this one is worth the price point of $18.00.
And
the winner is…….
BOXYCHARM!!!
It was
really hard to pick between Ipsy and Boxycharm this month but ultimately it
came down to the Makeup Geek Shadows that won it over for me! March was a great
month overall for subscription boxes!
Let me
know in the comments below if you want to see an update on any of the products
above! I am planning on doing a Box update post in the next couple of weeks!
Until
next time Lovelies!!!
