Hello Loves!
So, I recently received my August Looksbook box from Starlooks Cosmetics and this month was the Resort Edition box! I know we're already headed into September, and all things Fall and Fabulous (break out the boots & scarves!) but I wanted to get this up so you all could see a more in-depth look at the products and my full opinion on them,
A little back-story:
I actually met the owner of Starlooks, Marcy at Style Fashion Week for Spring, earlier this year and Starlooks was the official cosmetic sponsor for Style Fashion Week! I had an appearance for the kick-off event for fashion week at PUMP, Lisa Vanderpump's new restaurant and we had a blast! at the end of the evening, guests received a cute little goodie bag.
We later on saw Marcy after we finished walking in the Celebrity Red Dress Fashion Show.
All in all, Marcy is an absolute sweetheart, and runs a great brand. When I started receiving my Starbox, I was skeptical as I have received MANY of these types of things in the past, and they hadn't quite "WOW"ed me yet.
When I opened my first box, I received 3 products, all travel sizes. Which for me, works because I can throw it in my makeup bag, and go! It came with a black eyeliner, a liquid highlighter/illuminator, and a lipgloss. The eyeliner has to be one of the best i've ever used in my life, as far as pigmentation/staying power. (disclaimer: all Starlooks products are HD & Photoready quality) but I quickly noticed after applying it, that my eyes began to water incessantly, which is not the brands fault, it's just my sensitive eyes. I wish though that my eyes weren't so sensitive so I could wear this because it is the only black eyeliner that doesn't smudge/smear on me!
The highlighter/illuminator I swatched was gorgeous! it has a pearly/pinky color and compliments any shade of blush. This was super glowy and gave a nice dewy type finish!
The Lipgloss was a warm pink, sparkle shade and for all my pageant girls out there who wants a non-sticky lipgloss that goes great over a nude for a subtle-pop of color to make your lips look GORG, this is the best kept secret!
Now for August's Box,
I received a duo highlighter/blush which contained a coral blush and a gold/sandy highlighter! (similar to gilded honey by Laura Geller & Mac's Soft & Gentle )
I would definitely say this is a dupe for those products! and the blush/highlighter combo go so well together that they could easily transition to a glowy fall look as well!
The lipstick from this box was so cute! I loved the packaging for this months products! with the gold accents. It gave such a luxurious feel to it. The lipstick was a pinky corally lipstick that was ultra pigmented and insanely hydrating! this wasn't SO hydrating that it comes off quick, no this lasted me all night through a dance rehearsal.
The shadow stick is the big long one at the bottom and it was the most gorgeous sparkly blue! and although I haven't tried it on yet, I did swatch it and I absolutely couldn't believe how pigmented it was, and once it dried it stays, and that's without eyeshadow primer!
Overall, I am very happy with the Looksbooks Box from Starlooks! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is wanting to get a monthly little surprise gift in the mail with some amazing goodies in it. Best part is, it's only $12 a month!
