Textured and Trying

  Hiii - I have a confession I guess, that I have to make? I have no idea where all my photos for this Kinder Beauty Box have gone. I have no idea where I moved them to, and I’m starting to gaslight myself and wonder if I just never actually took them? Even though I like … I know I did? I know I did. Photos are like my favorite part of the process because that’s when I actually get to open everything and like swatch and get the good lighting and everything? But I can’t find them. So I still have thoughts, but I have no swatches for you, and I’m starting to think I’m going crazy. I didn’t do anything special with my Kinder Beauty for February - it’s a short month and I’ve been overwhelmed with the size of the Allure Beauty Box and the new size Glam Bag X I’ve been getting.  This box was one of the most underwhelming for me. Just some strange products that didn’t fit my aesthetic or preferences - not that it’s a customized box, I know, but maybe I’m one of the outliers bec...

  Hi hi hi ^-^ December was not fun for this blog. I ordered way too much stuff from too many different places, got behind on my spreadsheet I use to keep track of everything, got everything at different times, started trying things at different times, and already have January sitting waiting for me to get started photographing. I need to get back on a schedule, and I bit off more than I could chew, so we’re going to do one big post for all the beauty boxes I got in December and my thoughts and some news for the new year 🙂 I’m sitting in my comfy chair in my living room with a candle burning and my favorite streamer on, and honestly I just want to not even write about last month because it’s going to be so much, but I can’t leave 2022 unwrapped, you know? The first difference between this and my other monthly reviews is that I haven’t actually tried every single item I got in all these orders. I know I’m sorry. I really tried, but there comes a point where everything’s so chao...

  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 ...
