Subscription Boxes

The Spring Essentials Box

March 21, 2017

Affiliate Links

Oh my goodness!  I was floored upon opening my Spring Essentials Beautycon Box.  This time they totally blew it out of the water with the contents.  I love every single thing in it and if you scroll down you will see why.  I’ve been getting this box for about a year and a half now.  Some of the first boxes were a little less than desirable, but I continued with the seasonal subscription plan to see if it would improve.

If you’re not familiar with the Beautycon subscription box, here’s a brief explanation for you…  The box is curated seasonally and costs $29 per box for at least $100 worth of products.  I believe I paid for my subscription for the year up front and then they charge me $6.99 for shipping when each box ships.  Some of the boxes are put together by top influencers on Youtube and social media.  That can be good and  bad, depending on if you like those particular influencers’ taste or not…

Spring Essentials

NUXE Shimmering Dry Oil Huile Prodigieuse –  I’ve used this product in the past to get a little summer glow going.  It’s really nice and pretty popular in the beauty world.  It can be used to illuminate the  face, body and hair.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Makeup Removing Wipes –  I love the Garnier Micellar Water that I’ve used so I’m ceratin that having these wipes will be nice as well as convenient for travel.

OGX Orchid Oil Color Protect Spray –  I haven’t used this one yet either since I’m working on using up several others.  I have used many products from the line on a regular basis and they never disappoint.

Beautycon Box

The BrowGal Convertible Brow Powder to Pomade Duo Universal AND The BrowGal Convertible Brow Powder to Pomade Duo Universal – The darkest shade is perfect for filling in my brows.  And I can always use another tool to apply the products.

IBY Beauty Mineral Pressed Blush in Peach Sheen –  This is a gorgeous blush.  It has just the right amount of sheen too.

Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Duo Fibre Powder Brush 516 –  I’m saving this brush for when I need a new one.  However, I do have a few others from the line that I really love that came in previous subscription boxes.

seasonal beauty box

Luxie Beauty Rose Gold Duo Fibre Powder Brush 516 –  This is a great product for adding that spring pop of color to the cheeks.

Dirty Little Secrets Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick in Rust –  This one will be passed to my daughter.  Matte liquid lipsticks and I are not friends.

BeautyCon

The fun sturdy packaging of the Around the World Eye Shadow Palette from Cargo

Cargo Around the World palette

This palette is absolutely GORGEOUS!  It’s basically made up of 4 different quads.   Or it can be used as 6 shadow duos.  Or for those who don’t follow any rules, you can use however you want.  I’ve only “oohed and aahhed” over this palette so far.  I’m saving it for a rainy day.  LOL!

What do you think of the Spring Essentials Beautycon Box?  Worth the $29 + shipping?

*I paid for this box with my own money. All opinions are mine and aren’t influenced by anyone else.  Affiliate links are used in the post. Thanks for supporting my site!

    For $29, that Beautycon Box is a definite steal! Wow. I have the Luxie brush and I love it. The Cargo palette alone is worth more than the cost of the box. Have fun trying everything out!

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.

I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good I like to shout from the rooftops when I find good beauty products that work well for my mature skin in hopes that others will discover them too.

Be sure to let me know if there’s anything you’ve been loving lately too.💖

Today I’m including:
•a body makeup product that helps cover, disguise and blur my dark spots from sun damage from too many years spent in the sun.

•an at-home FDA cleared fractional laser to improve the appearance of my skin and even help get rid of some of those dark spots. I’m using it nightly.

•a beautiful pink lipstick that is like happiness in a tube

•an excellent facial spf product that protects my skin when I’m outdoors. I purchased mine when I was in France.

•some tasty gummy supplements I’ve been using including a multivitamin and a gummy prebiotic and probiotic combo to keep my gut happy

•and a balm that works great for keeping my skin hydrated that I like to dab under my eyes and on the lines above my lips because hydration helps make fine lines look better/less obvious when I look in the mirror.
