This month felt like such a treat, especially with some of the star products I've been eyeing. I'm so excited to dive into everything, especially the Violet Voss eyeshadow palette and that gorgeous Sydney Paige cosmetic bag!
Let's talk about the Violet Voss palette first. The OCR mentioned "four shades of brown and gold," and they are absolutely stunning! I usually gravitate towards warm neutrals, so this palette is right up my alley. The shades are incredibly buttery and pigmented, which is exactly what I look for in an eyeshadow. I tried a quick look using the shimmery gold on my lid and a matte brown in my crease – it blended out like a dream. I'm already thinking of all the glam looks I can create for summer evenings. It feels high-quality, and I'm really impressed with the color payoff; a little goes a long way. This is definitely going to be a staple in my everyday makeup routine and for when I need an extra pop for a night out.
Next up, the Sydney Paige cosmetic bag! The OCR described it as a "colorful cosmetic bag with abstract patterns," and it's even prettier in person! The design is so vibrant and fun, perfect for adding a little flair to my vanity or travel bag. It feels really durable, and the size is just right – not too bulky, but spacious enough to hold my essentials like a few lipsticks, a small foundation, and the new Violet Voss palette. I love that it’s made by a brand that gives back, which makes receiving it feel even better. I’m thinking this will be my new go-to for keeping my daily makeup organized, or perhaps for packing my skincare essentials for weekend trips.
Beyond those two showstoppers, the box also included some other fantastic beauty products that I'm eager to incorporate into my routine. I got a really lovely moisturizer that feels incredibly hydrating without being heavy. My skin has been a bit dry lately, so this came at the perfect time. It absorbs quickly and leaves my face feeling super soft and prepped for the day.
Then there’s the primer. You know how important a good primer is for making your makeup last, right? This one blurs my pores beautifully and creates a smooth canvas for foundation. I’ve noticed my makeup stays put much longer, especially on those warmer days. It's a game-changer for extending wear time.
And for my hair, there was a leave-in hair spray. I’m always on the hunt for products that help with frizz and add a bit of shine, and this one seems promising. I sprayed it on my damp hair after washing, and it felt softer and more manageable when I blow-dried it. Plus, it has a really pleasant scent that isn't too overpowering. I’ll be testing it out more in the coming weeks to see how it performs long-term, but so far, so good!
Overall, my June BoxyCharm and Glambag were a huge hit! Getting to try out amazing products like the Violet Voss eyeshadow palette and the practical yet chic Sydney Paige cosmetic bag, along with quality skincare and hair care, makes these subscriptions so worth it. It’s like a little present to myself every month, and I truly appreciate these #gifted items. What did you get in your boxes this month? I'd love to hear your favorites!
