Review: Boxycharm November 2018

*This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I will earn a small commission from the advertiser at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake!

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyCharm for November. For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme. They also offer an upgraded box every quarter called BoxyLuxe. This is an additional $28.99 a quarter.  The theme for November is "Goal Digger".  I was pretty excited when Kim Kardashian revealed the whole box over a month before it launched! The palette looked so pretty! Also, does that mean we will see KKW Beauty in the future? Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts.

Review: Simply Earth Essential Oil Recipe Box

*This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I will earn a small commission from the advertiser at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake!

Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share something a little bit different than my normal beauty or fashion posts. I was contacted by Simply Earth to review their subscription box. I have been interested in checking out essential oils for quite a while now and decided to accept. Essential oils can be used for many different purposes. They are used on their own for filling your room with amazing scents but are also said to have healing properties. Some essential oils are said to help with anxiety while others help with headaches, muscle aches, etc. 

Simply Earth decided to create an essential oil subscription that not only sends you 4 essential oils each month but also a bunch of recipe cards that give you ideas of how to use the essential oils sent. All recipes include natural ingredients and their essential oils are 100% pure. Some examples of the recipe cards include custom scents your can create for your diffuser with the featured essential oils. Others are recipes for bath and body products as well as home cleaning products. The recipe box also includes some ingredients or products needed for the recipe while other recipes might require additional ingredients that most people already have in the home like baking soda and brown sugar. One thing I really love about this company is that they give back; 13% off all proceeds of their subscription boxes go to #beaworldchanger to end human trafficking. Another great thing is you can sign up to get their recipe boxes monthly, quarterly, or just one time!

Review: ColourPop x Delilah/Make-A-Wish Foundation

Below is the ColourPop x Delilah Collection that she created! From October 11th 2018-January 11th 2019 ColourPop will donate 20% of the proceeds to Make-A-Wish.

Althea Korea x Get It Beauty Collaboration: Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Masks

Hey Guys,
I wanted to do a short post sharing a video from Get It Beauty related to their collaboration with Althea Korea. Get It Beauty is a Korean beauty program on TV. For those of you that didn't see, I reviewed their Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Masks HERE! They are really affordable, refreshing, and super quick (10 seconds to be exact) and easy to use!

Here is a little bit of info about this beauty program:
"Inundated with the sheer number of beauty products and trends coming out of Korea? Get in the know with the experts on all things makeup, skincare, lifestyle, celebrity tips and more on Korea’s top beauty program, Get It Beauty."

It's interesting to see beauty programs in different countries. We don't have these kind of shows in the US so I was really intrigued by it.

Here is the video by Get It Beauty:

Recap & Haul: Ipsy Gen Beauty NYC & Creator Day 2018

Hey Guys,

Today I wanted to share pictures and my experience from Ipsy's Gen Beauty and Creator Day! I attended Gen Beauty NYC last year and again this year. This year I got invited as a beauty creator which was SUPER exciting for me! I am part of a beauty community created and ran by Ipsy called Ipsy Open Studios. As a member we get access to the online Facebook community and many other things including the opportunity to attend their beauty convention at a discounted price. I was sent a complimentary ticket but I was actually in the Dominican Republic at the time. By the time that I saw the email they were already sold out. That being said, I was still able to get our heavily discounted IPSY OS ticket and snag a ticket for Creator Day. I was not invited to Creator Day last year so this was SUCH a dream for me! Keep reading to hear about both!

Creator Day NYC 2018

Creator Day is separate from Gen Beauty and is the Friday before Gen Beauty. You can only attend this if you are invited and it's only for beauty creators. Creator Day is basically an event that includes panels, activities, and networking with brands for beauty influencers. 

Here are some pics from Creator Day:

There were panels going on all day on both floors of the event. At the back of the room there were little booths with different brands where you could network and do fun activities called "activations"

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my Fall FabFitFun Box. I FINALLY decided to sign up for the subscription and boy am I glad I did! I honestly wish I did it sooner! For those of you unfamiliar with FabFitFun its a quarterly subscription that you get every season. The box is filled with beauty, fashion, home, and lifestyle items and the fun part is you are able to pick some of the items! There are a handful of items that everyone gets then there are 3 items regular quarterly subscribers are able to pick (you usually have 2 choices to pick from).

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on two products from Althea's new skincare line, their Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Masks. Althea sent me these two cleanser packs a couple months ago.

Both products can be purchased on the Althea Korea site. These products can be purchased separately or as a set. 

Here is what is said about this duo.
"The hustle and bustle of the urban life mean non-stop hectic schedules, but that doesn't mean you can't give your skin the lovin' it needs! Althea's Real Fresh Skin Detoxer is a 10-second, 2-in-1 cleanser pack that showcases real, fresh ingredients and incorporates them into a system that allows a deep, clarifying cleanse while boosting the skin with nutrients and goodness. You’ll get both editions in this set: Rose (made with French rose petals + extract to refine the skin) and Green Tea (contains Jeju green tea leaves + extracts to purify). This product leaves the skin feeling fresh and looking smooth for a healthy, happy complexion!"

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyCharm for September. For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme.  The theme for September was "Wild Flower".  I was pretty content when I saw the items we were getting this month. I didn't like last month's box at all. This was the first time ever in the past two years I've been subbed to BoxyCharm that I disliked the whole box. I decided not to even post about it since it was all negative. I was happy that this month was an improvement from that. Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts.

Review: ColourPop Prep & Set Duo

Hey Guys,

Hey Guys,

I'm here to share yet another ColourPop review! This time around its the Double Entendre Palette. I have been eyeing this palette and the I Think I Love You Palette for quite some time.

Hey Guys,
I filmed this haul back at the end of June. I got so busy and started editing it but never finished it. Then, I went to finish editing the video and the whole video got deleted. I almost decided to just scrap it and move along but I spent all that time filming it. I re-edited the whole video the other day. Better late than never right? Click the video below to see my haul. Many of the items are now on sale so check out the links to the products below!

Review: Morphe Blushing Babes Trios

*This post contains affiliate links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I will earn a small commission from the advertiser at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake! 

Hey Guys,

Last week I discussed Morphe's 8W Warm Master Palette that you can check out HERE. This week I am back to review two of the Morphe Blushing Babes Trios. Keep reading to learn more about these trios, see swatches, and to hear my thoughts on them!

Here is what is said on the Ulta site about this product:

"Show your true colors with this collection of Morphe Blushing Babes Blush Trio's for your most flattering flush. Give your cheeks a little pink-me-up with creamy mattes and silky, shimmery satins. This collection of sassy blush trios in sweet shades slays every look with a blendable formula and wearable, oh-so-you shades"

Morphe Babes Blushing Babes Trios in Pop of Coral $12.00

Pop of Coral:

• Boss (matte melon)
• Fierce (glimmering vibrant coral)
• Unapologetic (matte burnt ginger)

These colors are super pretty! I have been using this palette more than the Pop of Rose. Boss has been a little light for me as I have been pretty tan. However, as my tan fades it will show up better on my skin. Unapologetic is my favorite color from this duo. Its such a pretty neutral shade and I love matte blushes. Fierce gives a pretty glow but its not as pigmented or soft as the shimmer blushes in the 8W palette. 

Review: Younique Moodstruck Pressed Shadows

*This post contains presenter links. That means if you click on my link and buy something, I will earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting Leopard Lace and Cheesecake!

Hey Guys,
As most of you know, I decided to take the leap and find other ways to make money off of my passion, beauty. I became a Younique Presenter about two months ago and have been really loving it! I talked about my personal story of why I joined Younique and reviewed their Epic Mascara/Moodstruck 3D Fiberlashes HERE. I also mentioned that I would review their products from time to time on my blog. I am back today to share my thoughts on their Moodstruck Pressed Shadows. Keep reading to hear about these shadows and to see the collection I have built up so far!

These shadows can be purchased as refills, single compacts or in customizable palettes that hold 4, 8, or 25 shadows. This is great for people that always hit pan on only a few colors in pre-built palettes or simply want to pick every color and build their own. The ability to pick what shadows you want in your palette is awesome. The one complaint that I have about these palettes is that they are a soft cardboard material. I wish they were a bit more heavy duty. One thing that I love about these shadows is that each shadow also comes with a color coordinating sticker that says the came of the color and also includes a circle in the middle with the actual color. That way you can stick the stickers on the back of the palette or on the inside so that you know what colors you are using etc.

Hey Guys!
Today I'm going to share another outfit of the day! I did a quick photoshoot last month on my way to dinner with my friend Lisa. It was hot as hell so I was literally melting while taking these pics! I have been living in rompers this summer. They are just so easy (besides when you have to use the bathroom) and there are so many ways to dress them up or down. Light weight cotton ones are also great as cover ups for the beach! I went with my utility romper for this shoot. I linked some of the actual items that are still available and then similar ones below.

Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my thoughts on a bunch of Juno & Co Essential Brushes. These brushes are their own brand of synthetic brushes that they created. They sent me some back in the winter and some more a few weeks ago when they sent the Peach Dream Palette (Review HERE). I love the look of these brushes. They are SUPER affordable, extremely soft, and many are only a few dollars each! That's crazy right? Keep reading to learn more about the different brushes they offer!

Babe Squad Handy Buki Brush ES10 $6.00

 Here is what is said about this brush on the Juno & Co site:
"This brush was made for the ultimate babes. Our Babe Squad Handy Buki Brush is by far one of our most favorite brushes we've designed to date. With it's long handle and tapered kabuki-style head, it's so easy to control when applying any liquid or powder face product. Everything will blend into the skin perfectly."

On to my thoughts:
This brush is best used for liquid or powder. I think it's a little flimsy to use with liquid foundation. I like my foundation brushes to be a little more dense. However, it's still doable and is all about personal preference. I think it works fine with powder.
