Starlooks Starbox - August 2013

This month's Starlooks Starbox is a Special Edition box featuring Natalie Corona, a makeup Guru and Youtuber.  She specifically picked these products colors.  Also, this month's box is mermaid-themed.

August 2013 Starlooks Starbox

Starlooks Starbox is only $15/month plus tax.  You always get full-sized makeup products!

In this month's Starbox, I received:

1. Glitter Glam in "Emerald" - I have never owned a glitter before, as a makeup product, so I'm excited to have this!  This is not a pigment, but just straight up glitter.  I'm not sure how to apply it to my lids as a shadow so it stays put.  Can anyone help, lol?

Value - $17

2-3.  Infinity Lipsticks in "Eons" and "Endless" - "Eons" is in a matte finish and "Endless" is in a Satin finish.  I do like the shades of these lipsticks.  They are basic everyday colors though, nothing too exciting, but the colors are pretty and of good quality.  Both would work well with the "Emerald" Glitter Glam.

Value - $15/each

Also, the included a "Mermaid Prism," as an extra, which is heavier then I thought it would be.  I'm not sure what I will do with it yet, but I do think it is pretty.  And of course the tiny crystal.

Here are swatches...

"Emerald" Glitter Glam, "Endless" Infinity Lipstick, and "Eons" Infinity Lipstick

I know these aren't the best swatches, and I basically just dumped the glitter onto my arm because I didn't know how to apply it so it sticks.  Oh well, lol.

The total value of this box is $47!!!  I'm happy with this box because I will use all the products, including the glitter whenever I figure out how to use it.  Can't wait for September's box and the Birthday box, since September is my Birthday month!

July 2013 Starlooks Starbox

Starlooks Starbox - July 2013

I'm so happy I decided to sign up for Starlooks Starbox! Starbox is another monthly subscription box service that is only $15/month plus tax.  Not too bad and you get full-size products of their own brand!  This seems to be a very good month...

This box included:

1.  "St. Tropez" Eye Shadow palette - The palette comes with 5 shades and they are just gorgeous colors!  I could of done without another black, but it is still a great palette.  I can see how this would be the perfect summer palette because the colors would look beautiful with tanned skin.  The lightest shade and the gold shade could also be used as a highlighter!

Retail Value - $42

2.  906 "Sculpt and Blush" Brush - I have been looking to purchase more brushes so I am so happy I got one in this box.  This will be good to apply blush or to contour.  It's also very soft and seems like to be of good quality!

Retail Value - $22

3.  The special surprise in this box is a sample of the " Ultimate Body Bronze Set."  It comes with Quince "Relaxing" Body Butter packet and Starlooks "Penny Wise" Pigment Luster (half-size.)  The idea is to mix the two together to get a nice bronzer to put on your body.  I may not do that since I just love the pigment color too much.  I want to use it on my eyes.  I don't own any pigments and I hope to get more from them in the future!

I love this box and I can't see what ends up in the August one.  I just don't like having to wait until the end of the month to find out!  September I am definitely looking forward to because it is my Birthday and Starbox sends a special gift to subscribers during their Birthday month!

Oh and I almost forgot, the total Retail Value of this box is $72!!!!!
