Starlook's November 2015 LooksBook: Shimmering Future!

Unboxing and Review!

This absolutely has to be my favorite LooksBook yet! I absolutely adore everything about this LooksBook (even though I can't pull off the lipstick)! This is a great theme and a gorgeous box. With the holidays coming up- I think this will make an awesome stocking stuffer if you're looking for a unique gift for the makeup lover in your life!

How Pretty!:

The Haul!

1. Fortune 500 Eyeshadow Duo:

(1.6 g)

How fun are these shadows? As you can see by the pic- I've already dug in there. The shadows are super glittery but not too insane. They compliment each other nicely and blend really well. I want to make an awesome holiday look with these!

2. Golden Ticket Liquid Eyeliner:

(3.1 g)

I am positively IN LOVE with this liner and I'm really excited to try it out. The gold is like super, ultra gold and I think it will look amazing with the Fortune 500 shadows. This was a total "squee" item when I saw it- it's just so exciting and different from what I've been getting in my other beauty boxes. Yay!

 

3. Opulence Lip Crayon:

(2.2 g)

I am so disappointed that I just know I can't pull off this color. It truly is opulent - a deep berry. It almost reminiscent of hearing stories about how ancient cultures would stain their lips with berries for a deep lip look. It swatched so well too. I still like it even though I can't wear it .

The Final Verdict!

Box Value: Being that these are new, limited edition, curated items for the Look Book, it's really hard to put a value on the box on the whole. The 3 "perfect sized" items are nicely sized and a nice combination and the gift cards are a nice addition.

 Box Score: 10/10

Final Thoughts: Although I'm missing my customized Starbox- I am really starting to fall in love with these LooksBooks. This month's been my absolute favorite, hands down, so far.

Starlook's Customized Starbox October 2015

 

Unboxing and Review!

 

 

 

 Unfortunately, I think this is going to be the very last Customized Starbox that I am going to be receiving. According to the email below, Starlooks will be discontinuing their Customized Starboxes and all subscribers will be transferring over to the new LooksBooks:

 

 

 

 Although I have really liked the LooksBooks I've kind of fallen in love with the Customized box and products and am sad to see it go! Let's take a look at what I got this month:

 

The Haul!

 

1. Satin Finish Eye Shadow in South Beach:

1.6 g, Listed At $13.00

 

Although I tend to shy away from neutrals, I'm thinking South Beach is going to be a create base color for layering on my eye-craziness. It's a very delicate color but nicely pigmented and super soft. I'm interested in seeing what I can do with it.

 

 

 

2. Lip Gloss in Guilty Pleasure:

Size Unknown, Listed at $9.00 

 

This lip gloss is pint sized and I'm bound to lose it almost immediately. I'm not typically a lip gloss person. But, the color is cute and I may give it a shot.

 

 

3. Liquid Illuminator in High Life:

1.3 ml, Listed At $10.50

I absolutely fell IN LOVE with this highlighter when I picked and received it in my July 2015 Customized Starbox and ranted and raved about it in my July Youtube Unboxing and Impressions. Being that it's a limited edition color and available again this month, I absolutely snagged another. And you should too while you still can!

4. Bronzing Pigment in Pennywise:

Size Unknown, Listed At $9.00

Apparently I was confused and thought this was an eyeshadow when I first unboxed it. It's a super shimmery gold and highly pigmented loose powder that totally reminds me of when I dropped my Urban Decay Baked on the floor. I would totally have used this as an eyeshadow with out batting... an eye? I don't think I could pull this off as a bronzer. Unfortunately, my came a bit exploded. But, I was pretty much able to salvage it.

 I also received some gift cards for discounts on Starlooks products. But, I'm so overwhelmed with makeup right now- I'm going to wait on those.

The Final Verdict!

Box Value: Not counting the gift cards, the make up in this box is $41.50

 Box Score: 7/10

Final Thoughts: With the exception of the bronzer coming somewhat a mess, I really liked this box. The highlighter, I already know I love and I'm glad I was able to snag another. The shadow seems interesting to play with and the gloss is a cute color. These are definitely items that I know I will use and can just pop in my bag at anytime.

You can kind of tell that between ending the original Starlooks Legacy Starbox and bringing out the Customized and LooksBooks Starboxes, Starlooks is in a bit of transition to what exactly they want to do in regards to their subscription services.

That being said, I am REALLY going to miss the Customized Starbox. As opposed to many other subscriptions, this is the first of it's kind to have an extremely affordable price point where I could get only make up items I wanted in shades that I could totally dig or play around with. 

 

I was never displeased with the boxes and have found some amazing gems that I have fallen in love with.

 

So sad!

Starlook's September 2015 LooksBook: Revival

Unboxing and Review!

 

Unfortunately, I am only going to be doing on Starlook's unboxing this month. I totally screwed up my regular subscriber account so I ended up with 2 LooksBooks this month. Oops!

 

Last month, I was SUPER impressed with Starlook's newest addition- their monthly Looksbook! If you're not familiar, Starlooks is an AMAZING cosmetics company that has 2 make up only (YESSSSSS) subscription services for $12.00 each. They have a custom box and the new Looksbook.

 

The reason I love the Looksbook is because everything in wrapped up so beautifully in travel friendly, gorgeously decorated cases. Every month Starlooks creates a new theme and look and coordinates everything together in a perfect little package of goodies. Each month you get 3 deluxe travel sized products to create a new, dramatic look. It's just so cool!!

 

Starlooks does send me their Looksbook for an honest review. Regardless, I am such a huge Starlooks fan and really love their make up and products to death to begin with!

 

Look at how pretty!!:

 

 

Upon Opening:

September's Look Tutorial Booklet!:

 

The Haul!:

 

1. Agave Eyeshadow Duo:

1.6 g

I'll be real with you- I don't really have any shadows these colors. So I am REALLY interested in experimenting with these and playing around. Both colors are matte with one being a greeinish slate and the other a maroonish red. I think I can go a little nuts with these and kind of have my fingers crossed that I can achieve a look like in the tutorial booklet!

 

 

 

2. Flora Black Mascara:

3.5 g

 

Right now, I do have eyelash extensions on. But, I always feel like you really can't go wrong with a zombie apocalypse survival stash of black mascara (and black eyeliner!). And although I haven't tried this particular type of Starlook's mascara- I have tried others in the past- and I have been SO impressed with how they look. I'm so hoarding this...

 

 

 

3. Matte Lipstick in Rawr:

1 g

OMG! I am in love with this super hot pink lipstick. This is why I love the new Starlook's boxes. Last month, I tried out and fell in love with their Jet Set coral lipstick- which I would have NEVER tried out on my own. Normally, I wouldn't even attempt to try this color out. But, it looks kind of awesome on me. Definitely my favorite item in the Revival box. Squee!!

The Final Verdict!

Box Value: Being that these are new, limited edition, curated items for the Look Book, it's really hard to put a value on the box on the whole. The 3 "perfect sized" items are nicely sized and a nice combination and the gift cards are a nice addition.

 Box Score: 10/10

Final Thoughts: I am NOT missing the legacy box (sorry Starlooks!). Honestly, I am really happy with the first 2 months of LooksBooks. The themes are original and completely cohesive, the packaging is perfect- I don't lose stuff, the price is awesome, and I can definitely experiment with items guilt free! Keep them coming Starlooks!!

 

  How is everyone feeling about the new LooksBooks so far??

Starlook's Customized Starbox August 2015

 

Unboxing and Review! 

 

 I am so happy to be on my second month of reviewing Starlook's Customized Box! I was honestly, c1ompletely in love with their July 2015 Customized Box and am pretty happy with this one as well! Being that I completely forgot the items I chose, this was an AWESOME surprise!

 

I'm really started to dig this subscription A LOT!

 

Let's Have A Look!:

 

 

 

The Haul!:

1. Slanted Liner Brush (824):

Full Sized! Listed at $18.00

Oooooh a full sized brush?? Yes please! I love liner brushes and was in desperate need a new one. Love!

 

 

 

2. Eyeshadow in Gold Coast:

1.6 g, listed at $13.00

 

At first glance, I was worried that this shadow maybe too dark for me. But it swatched so nicely and it gorgeous. Another win!

 

 

 

3. Long Wear Eye Pencil in Brun:

Size not available, listed at $10.25

 

As I am apparently in the process of building my eyeliner arsenal in case of a zombie apocalypse, I couldn't resist picking this liner. Although I normally do not wear brown liner, I think it will be very complimentary to the gold shadow. Look at me- curating my own box all crazy! I'm already a huge fan of Starlook's liners. So, this is kind of a shoe in!

 

 

 

4. Gift Cards:

 

I must have missed the step to pick out my gift cards this month because I don't remember choosing these. I also this they accidentally gave me a double by accident!

 

1. Torrain for $15.00

2. We Positive People for $17.00 

3. (2) The Laboratory (unknown amounts)

 

 

 

 

The Final Verdict!

Box Value: Not counting the gift cards, the make up in this box is $41.25.

 

 Box Score: 10/10

Final Thoughts: Honestly, Starlooks has been hitting it out of the park for me the past couple months with the new Customized Box and Looks Book. The choices are awesome, I get what I want, and I am really digging everything. Love it all!

Starlook's Looks Book August 2015: Resort Edition

Unboxing And Review!

 

 

So, apparently I was totally confused and Starlook's has completely done away with their classic, Legacy box that I have had for the past year. So sad! In exchange for that, they have rolled out their Looks Book for $12.00 instead.

 

The August 2015 Resort Edition Looks Books is their first one and I'm honestly really impressed!

 

In case you aren't familiar with this subscription, Starlooks has 2 subscription boxes- the custom box and now the Looks Book (both $12.00 each). Each Looks Book includes 3 brand new, limited edition, perfect sized Starlooks cosmetics in an adorable little carrying case. The case is awesome to pop in your bag and I feel like if you're not feeling one month- they would make awesome gifts!

 

In addition, like the Custom box, the Looks Book also contains discount gift cards for various websites including Starlooks!

 

Let's Take A Look!

 

 

OMG! How Cute!

 

 

Every Looks Book also comes with a nice little Tips Booklet:

 

 

 

The Haul!

 

1. Satin-finish Water Eyeshadow in Aqua:

2.5 g.

 

I absolutely LOVE this shadow stick. The color is a gorgeous Aqua (duh), super shimmery, and easy to layer. It stays on and is SO much fun! This is a great start!

 

 

 

2. Highlight/Blush Duo in Tropic and Ritz:

1.6 g.

 

I fell SO in love with Starlook's July 2015 Custom Highlighter and Blush that I am SO excited to try these. I already swatched them and they look amazing. Highlighters have been my thing this year so I'm hoarding them. The gold and peach tones are so amazingly complimentary to each other. I am in love already!

2. Gloss-finish Lipstick in Jet Set:

1 g.

 

So, I don't really know if I can pull this color off. But, I really like it. It's a light coral/peach that goes on quite delicately. I definitely want to try this one out.

 

 

 

4. Gift Cards:

I'm not sure if I will be able to choose my gift cards in the future like the custom box. But, I received 3 gift cards:

1. Versa Swimwear for $50!

2. The Laboratory (amount not listed)

3. Torrain for $15!

 

 

The Final Verdict!

Box Value: Being that these are new, limited edition, curated items for the Look Book, it's really hard to put a value on the box on the whole. The 3 "perfect sized" items are nicely sized and a nice combination and the gift cards are a nice addition.

 Box Score: 10/10

Final Thoughts: Although I was disappointed to see the classic Legacy Starbox go, I am REALLY REALLY excited for the future of the Starlook's Look Book. I honestly adore this concept and am looking forward to future themes. As usual, these are some amazing quality products. I really like and will probably use all 3 items. The actual "book"/ travel case is completely adorable and functional to keep everything organized. The price is great at $12 and the gift cards are kind of awesome! This is an AWESOME start to the Looks Book and I cannot wait until September. This is SUCH a win!

 

 How are you feeling about this Starbox change up?
