Fall 2021 - The Jilly Box Subscription Unboxing

I'm a big fan of Jillian Harris, so when she announced last year that she was starting a subscription box, I was so excited! The box started with the Winter 2019 box and sadly, I was not one of the lucky originals who won a subscription spot, so I sign up every season and hope to get picked for a lottery spot!

The Jilly Box is a quarterly seasonal subscription box - the products within the box include some of Jillian’s (and Team Jilly’s!) favourite items (and brands) from home decor, fashion, bath and beauty, health and wellness, accessories perfect for each season. Some of the items included will be custom designed exclusively for the Jilly Box. The Jilly Box really focuses on including products from small, local businesses while being ethically sourced and inclusive. They also focus on reducing plastic waste and packaging - the big boxes can be turned inside out and reused! Also, they try to include Canadian, woman owned brands, and this box also includes 3 LGBTQ+, BIPOC and Minority owned brands! 

June Shop My Stash ~ Summer Bright Red Lipstick Look featuring Cheekbone Beauty Sustain Lipliner and Lipstick

June is Indigenous History month, and Cheekbone Beauty shared a beautiful story about the origin story of the strawberry or heart berry and it was beautiful (they look like hearts when they are cut in half) - they are so important because they symbolize our relationship with the mind, body, and spirit.

So, I was very inspired to complete a Heart Berry inspired makeup look and went and picked up a Sustain Lip Pencil and matching lipstick and I loooove these - the finish is stunning and the products both wore so well! 

Getting Holiday Glam with Rodial Makeup!

December always means it's time for Christmas and Holiday parties! I love to glam it up for the holidays - glitter make-up and red lips! 

Matte red lips, products to brighten the eyes and a bold blush is the perfect start for every Holiday make up look! 

October 2017 Boxycharm - Unboxing, Review and Swatches!

So over the past couple of months I have been trying to do full face try ons with my Boxycharm; but, I didn't think there was enough makeup products this month to do a full try on! So, I only swatched the products this month - I hope that's okay! 

Boxycharm is a beauty subscription box for $21.00 a month + $5.00 shipping to Canada (shipping is free to the U.S.) Boxycharm sends 4 to 5 full size and luxury size beauty items. 

This subscription focuses heavily on make-up items - so that is something to keep in mind! While it is a little pricier than the more inexpensive beauty boxes, the majority of the products are full size, with a deluxe sample every once in a while. 

Every subscriber generally receives the same products, but their is usually 1 or 2 items that have a few variations, so our boxes may not be identical! 

Here is a look at my October Boxycharm:

This month's monthly "theme" is Spellbound and Boxycharm always includes a detailed product card to explain the products you received!
