MakeupSkincareUnboxings

Who loves getting a new package of beauty products in the mail?  First, there is the thrill of getting new products.  Second, It’s always fun to get a package in the mail.  Especially because, three, the package has a lot of surprises in it.  In other words, you never know what you are going to get.  Even before I became a beauty blogger, I loved getting different makeup and skincare products monthly, via my subscription boxes.  The January Edition Allure Beauty Box is a good one.

To begin with, it is the first beauty “box,” from Allure, that came in a cool, see-through,red pouch, instead of the lipstick red Allure box.  Furthermore, I like the pouch better than a box because it is more useful. because you can carry whatever you want in it.  For instance, I like to keep some makeup with me during the day.  So, I usually throw the items into my handbag.  Generally, I have to really dig around to find the product I am looking for.  Therefore, since the pouch is a nice size, and it has two snap closures, I can keep everything together. In this way, I can find it quickly.  Also, my makeup won’t get dirty at the bottom of my bag.

The Nail polish was nice.  However, I don’t do my own nails.  Although, I could take the color to the nail place if I want.

I use Sunday Riley products.  They are amazing.  I love the C.E.O. that has vitamin c, and turmeric in the oil.  Also, it is great for this time of year because we are suffering from dry skin.  Furthermore, I’ve been dying to try A+. It is a strong retinoid, so I think I’ll wait til the heaters go off.

In the meantime, the Quai sugar scrub is awesome.  It exfoliates dry skin and makes it feel smooth.

Finally, every once in a while it is nice to use a nourishing mask on your hair.  So, Amika is loaded with hydrating ingredients to put moisture back into your hair, and make it healthier.
