This month I picked an eyeshadow, a mascara, and an eyeliner brush!  As always, I got 3 gift cards as well!  Along with being able to pick what you get in your box, you know you’re getting super high-quality makeup and brushes!  Don’t you guys just love how tiny that mascara is?  It will fit in basically any bag!  And that eyeshadow is gorgeous and is a great shade!  And this eyeliner brush is so thin that it will be perfect for my tiny line I like!

What’s Inside:

Satin Eye Shadow in Gold Coast Perfect Size, $13

This eyeshadow, which is bigger than most “full-size” eyeshadows from other brands, is over the cost of the box already!  I love this shade!  It’s the most beautiful darker gold that blends like a dream and works super well with brighter gold as well as lighter gold and browns!  It’s a super smooth metallic shade, I’m obsessed. “Perfect-Size” just means that it isn’t so big that you’ll never use it all.  This, for example, is big compared to eyeshadows from other brands!

Gimmie More Volume Mascara Perfect Size, $7.00

This mascara still has a basically full-size brush but the handle is super small so it can fit anywhere!  I love the brush, it coats every single lash and looks super natural but still crazy long and thick!   I’m not sure I would pay $7 for this size but I am thrilled to have this sample!

Slanted Fluid Liner Brush, $18

Okay so this is a lot more than the price of this box!  And I love this brush, it’s super thin and smooth!  I have had some really old one for ever and I’m so happy to trade it for this one!  Lesson learned though: black eyeliner stained my old brush like crazy, wash often!

As you know, you get to pick three gift cards from Starlooks and/or other fashion and lifestyle brands!

I picked Stand West for these cute sachets filled with lavender (which I guess are no longer available), the Scheana Marie one because a customer service person told me they were restocking soon(!) and the regular Starlooks one to start checking off some items on my wish list!  The Starlooks are both $20 while the Stand West is $25!

Total: $103.00

With the gift cards totaling $65 and cosmetics totaling $38, this box is worth $103.00!  WOW!!  This box was awesome, as is every one since I get to pick everything in it! The only dud is the Stand West gift card since they don’t have the only thing I was looking at before, but Starlooks does warn you on the back of each gift card that things change often!  Overall, fantastic box!  And amazing quality cosmetics!
