Intro & October Boxycharm

Hi guys, my name is Amy and I'm a wife and mother of a teenaged girl who decided to start a beauty blog. We live in Virginia and we love animals. We have two dogs (a Great Dane and Corgi mix) as well as two cats. We are also huge Washington Redskins fans.

I love beauty, makeup, and skin care, so it made sense to blog about it. I'm making somewhat frequent purchases and so I cannot wait to share with you guys all of my great finds. So let's get started!

October 2015 Boxycharm
When I opened this box, I was so excited to dig in! Everything in the box was black, it all looked so mysterious. The box is appropriately titled Faces of the Moon. 

The first thing I grabbed was the Palmetto Derma Rejuvenating Antioxidant Mask.

This product is valued at $64 and it is a high-quality clay mask that smells like a spa. I tried it out that evening and it felt great on my skin as it had a slight tingle. And my skin felt nice and soft after.

The next item I pulled from the box was the Cult brand nail lacquer in the color Boneyards and it sells for $12.

I had to try this out right away because I had been on the lookout for a nice fall grey and I love it. It glided on smoothly and 2 days later (when the above photo was taken) I'm chip-free, which is a miracle for me.

Then I found the Bellapierre Cheek and Lip Stain in Coral and retails for $19.99.

I swatched it and it seems to be a pretty color. I'm not big on cream blushes, but I'll be a good sport and give it a try.

Next, we have the Doucce's Punk Volumizer Mascara in Black and sells for $24.

I wasn't going to open it yet but wanted to provide a pic of the wand for you. It looks fun!

Lastly, the Lord & Berry Line/Shade Eyeliner in Very Black and retails for $18.

Seems creamy for a wooden pencil. I have a ton of black eyeliners, so I'll pass this on over to my mom.

Boxycharm costs $21/month with free shipping. You get full-sized products, no samples here. It's a fun surprise each month.

The total retail value of everything in this month's box is $137! What a great value. I feel that Boxycharm is the superior of all the beauty subscription boxes. You can check them out for yourself by going to https://boxycharm.com/refer/Amy-RWGCYBVL

Well, my first blog post is complete. Now I can breathe! Thanks for stopping by, I hope to see you again soon.
