October Boxwalla Beauty Review + New Limited Edition Boxes!

Posted on November 2, 2020March 30, 2021 by Mercy with Leave a comment

Get ready for a packed Boxwalla review! Today I’ll finally be sharing my thoughts on the October Beauty Box (which is still available as a one-time purchase!) and Boxwalla is gearing up for the holidays with some limited edition offerings, one box of which I will also be sharing today while giving details on the rest that are available at their store (hint, it’s hair care!).

Let’s start with the October beauty box first. Themed “The Logic of Finding Fine Things“, the October Beauty Box* features three full-size beautiful products from two innovative brands: Naturallogic and Fine Cosmetics.

PYT BEAUTY REVIEW | Day-to-Night Eyeshadow Palettes, Concealer, & More!

Posted on October 1, 2020October 1, 2020 by Mercy with Leave a comment

When PYT Beauty launched back in summer 2018 I was *all* about their sole launch of the original Day-to-Night eyeshadow palette, a collection of cool-toned neutrals. I didn’t jump on purchasing it though because I felt like I couldn’t justify buying more neutrals when I already owned more than enough neutral shades that I loved. Somehow their brand fell off my radar until earlier this year when I was seeing the warm version of their Day-to-Night palette everywhere and I was intrigued to see what the brand had become after not being in the loop on their line for 2 years.

Since my makeup collection (particularly my eyeshadow collection) had dwindled down to random bits over the last year (I legit stopped wearing makeup for a LONG time) I couldn’t stop checking out PYT’s eyeshadow palettes and decided that now would be the perfect time to give them a chance. Over the course of a month I purchased a few bits here and there and wound up with this haul of two palettes, a concealer, an eyebrow pencil, mascara, and a lip gloss.

NEW MAKEUP BITS: Kosas 10-Second Liquid Eyeshadow & Silk Naturals

Posted on September 3, 2020September 3, 2020 by Mercy with Leave a comment

The majority of the time I don’t purchase makeup and skincare in sizable hauls, so you’ll often catch me sharing new individual items on my Instagram, but I’m not as great about sharing those new products on the blog since I’m not sure how to fit them into posts. I finally figured out a good title for this post so today I’m sharing a few odd bits of makeup that I’ve been loving for the last 1-3 months from brands Kosas and Silk Naturals.

Curious Comfort of Skincare-like Things: August Boxwalla Beauty Review

Posted on August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 by Mercy with Leave a comment

Let me begin my August Boxwalla review with a small apology for not having this review up sooner! I intended to get this review up when I had posted my review on the August limited edition box, but two separate health issues had me down for a large part of the month and got in the way of a few reviews I had wanted to get up this month. I regret to mention that the August box is sold out and that there aren’t any one-time boxes available, but if you have any interest in the featured products do read on because I have genuinely fallen in love with this month’s box.

JUST LAUNCHED: BOXWALLA X LOVINAH Limited Edition Makeup + Skincare Box

Posted on August 3, 2020March 30, 2021 by Mercy with Leave a comment

Boxwalla, our favorite top-notch subscription box service (sensory experience platform, honestly) has just released a special Limited Edition Makeup + Skincare Box collaboration with Lovinah Skincare! Lovinah is a new-to-me brand and I’ve had a few days to test these goodies out, but I’m already head over heels for these two and I don’t say that casually because the eyeshadow palette in particular has totally renewed my interest in makeup again.

THREE WAYS TO SAVOR SUMMER: June Boxwalla Beauty Review

Posted on July 27, 2020March 30, 2021 by Mercy with Leave a comment

Hello, friends! How is Summer treating you, COVID and all? In the South where I live, it’s too blazing hot and humid to care about going outdoors and I don’t look forward to sweaty shiny skin, but I do look forward to Summer skincare products. With skincare I find that there’s an addictive feeling towards experiencing relief – whether you’re soothing hot dehydrated skin with a cooling mist, applying a much needed exfoliating treatment mask, or cocooning your skin in the most nourishing balm or cream at night. With non-favorable weather and climate conditions I know that I get to experience that relief of skincare and it may sound twisted, but I get the feeling that many of you know what I am talking about!
