Textured and Trying

  Hey hey ^-^ Need to talk a little about the Kinder Beauty Box for November. I know it’s a little bit of a late post, but it’ll probably be fast. This has been an amazing Kinder box, even though I gave two of the five items away. The other three have just been amazing and I want to give them shout outs. So the ones I gave away weren’t even because I didn’t want them, just because they wouldn’t work for me or I knew I wouldn’t use them.  One of the items I’m giving away is the Coastin’ Illuminating Highlighter by a brand called Jazmine Beauty . No shade to this brand, I’m sure they’re great, but this highlighter would be ideal for someone several shades deeper than I am. It’s also very rosy toned. Feels like it would be a good sparkling blush on someone with my winter skin and I didn’t even bother to swatch it because I didn’t want to ruin it. The ingredients looked good, the packaging is cute, I really wish it had been a shade I could use. I thought about keeping it ...

This is November’s box and it’s a little bigger than I was planning 🤗But I’m getting through the testing phase and wanted to try getting this up before December. Maybe try being on time. [Edit: oh well.] IPSY picked two items for me this month: First one is fittingly the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer . Ever since I got hooked on FAB’s Coconut Smoothie Primer Thingy I’ve been wanting to try other products from them, but this one didn’t really impress me actually. The packaging is a fairly large tube with a cap and a pump like hair mousse, and the pump is not stingy, like girl pumps . So it’s very user friendly. The cap doesn’t give me a hard time, neither does the pump.  The formula itself is decently heavy, like it’s a little whipped but just feels generally like a regular moisturizer. Def not oily or greasy but nice and thick. Maybe it has a little but of a whipped texture at first? But that goes away once y...
