The full reveal of @theboxwalla's October beauty box! This one will be showcasing 2 products from @naturallogic (Unmask and Red Wine Essence) and @fine_cosmetic_official’s Eye Serum. I have yet to experience Naturallogic and Fine is totally new to me so I’m excited to play with both brands.

✨October Beauty Box Full Reveal✨
.
And here it is, the full October Beauty box themed, ‘The Logic of finding Fine things’. 😍 This box features two incredible brands that create really beautiful, innovative products that I just cannot get enough of: @naturallogic & @fine_cosmetic_official.

🌿Naturallogic’s Unmask Detox Hydration Mask: This is a slick textured activated charcoal based mask that melts away environmental impurities while healing and regenerating the skin. It is filled with hydrating, soothing aloe, niacinamide that strengthens the skin's barrier function, antioxidant burdock root that increases circulation and reduces inflammation, cranberry fruit extract & more. This uniquely wonderful mask refines the skin, deeply cleansing & purging the pores while leaving the skin plump & hydrated.
✨Fine Cosmetics’ Daytime Radiance Eye Serum: This water-based eye serum is extremely gentle and effective. Made in a base of witch hazel leaf water & sea water, it contains Persian silk tree extract that minimizes the appearance of crow’s feet, dark circles & puffinesss, beet root extract, protective & firming ashwagandha extract, grape leaf extract, niacinamide, elderberry fruit extract, high molecular hyaluronic acid & more! This ingenious serum absorbs instantly into the skin, protecting, firming & rejuvenating the under eye area. 🍇Naturallogic’s Elemental Advanced Hydration Red Wine Essence: This multitasking essence is made in a base of house-made organic red wine that is rich in polyphenols & resveratrol, mitigating free radical activity. The essence also contains polysaccharide rich red algae that increases collagen production & is anti-inflammatory, vitamin B3 to strengthen barrier function & balance moisture levels, aloe vera juice, licorice root extract & more.

• #ontheblog I’m sharing a small makeup haul of some items from @kosas and @silknaturals that I’ve been loving for the last 1-3 months. I tend to purchase products individually rather in hauls so I never know how to group and share them on the blog, so I guess this is an odd way of solving that problem!

• The Curious Comfort of Skincare-like Things • My review on @theboxwalla’s August Beauty Box is on the blog so check out the link in my bio to read! 🖐 This one is sold out, but I have really been enjoying these products and would recommend anyone to check these out individually.

In particular I have been enjoying the @lovinahskincare Dragon’s Blood cleansing oil which includes double encapsulated salicylic acid - it delivers a slow release onto the skin and stays for hours after. I love SA and its pore cleansing benefits! This one gets rid of the “grits” as well, possibly months worth that have been hiding in my pores.

I also love the @votarylondon Super Seed Serum which has superseded my first impressions of it. It really does do what it claims to do, which is that it plumps and hydrates to help the outer barrier become more resilient and strong. I love it for both AM and PM and find it fits so well in any routine because it doesn’t “add” in the way of piling on more products, it just feeds and calms the skin.

October subs are now open so be sure to follow Boxwalla for the product hints! So far we know that Naturallogic and [fi-ne] are the featured brands, but the third product is yet to be shown (although most of us have a very good guess!) Link in bio to subscribe if you’re not already! 🖐

Honored to be a #betabirdie 🐥 for @skinowl’s

Honored to be a #betabirdie 🐥 for @skinowl’s yet to be released cleanser! Cleansing is my favorite step of any skincare routine so when they posted in their Stories that they were looking for beta testers I had to volunteer myself.

I’ve been testing it for just over one week now and I wanted to share my thoughts and experience with it so far. This runny gel cleanser is kind of a hybrid between a foaming and hydrating gel cleanser - it doesn’t really foam but rather it generates a micro-lather, or the smallest suds, when you’re massaging it into wet skin. For me it fits my idea of the most ideal cleanser — one that’s gentle and non-stripping for mornings, but still powerful enough to be used as a second cleanse in the PM that lifts up the day and oily residue. The micro-suds it produces are just enough to clean up the yuck, but somehow doesn’t strip the skin in the process and leaves it looking and feeling fresh and bright.

There’s something about this cleanser that has an effervescent quality and it really brightens up my mornings! The neroli scent and its bubbly champagne-ness that comes out when the bottle is shaken (or even when just pumping it out into your hand) makes it such a fun and fresh cleanser. So far I’ll say that I’m highly likely to want to repurchase it in the future when it launches and I’m excited to see what the final product reveal will be like. What would you guys think of a SkinOwl cleanser?!

✨ @silknaturals is where it’s at for affordabl

✨ @silknaturals is where it’s at for affordable cream highlighters! This is Limelight (it’s built up and not blended out here FYI) which is your more neutral champagne shade (like Living Luminizer but with more pow) and they have two more highlighters with golden and pink undertones. Only $4.50 at the SN store 🖐

Today’s ☀️ morning skincare was a mostly @vo

Today’s ☀️ morning skincare was a mostly @votarylondon / mostly @theboxwalla routine. I’ve had about a week to get to know the products featured in Boxwalla’s August Beauty Box and thought I’d share how I’m using and liking the one product in the box that’s more geared for day time.

As you may recall, Boxwalla’s February box showcased two of Votary’s Super Seed products (the oil and cream) and this line is geared towards sensitive/reactive skin types - no EO’s, no colorful ingredients, no scent, no intense actives - just friendly skin-health promoting formulas to soothe skin and keep things calm and happy.

The August box is including Votary’s Super Seed Serum which is meant to boost and support the skin’s microbiome, helping to make skin more resilient. It’s a water based formula made with oat kernel flour, sodium hyaluronate, peptides, broccoli seed oil, cloudberry seed oil, sacha inchi and more.

After misting, I’ve been using the Super Seed Serum before applying the matching oil and cream (which is a semi-matte cream, by the way) and I’ve noticed a difference in my skin’s plumpness over the last few days. Even though I don’t have sensitized skin, I could see how the increase in thickness might lead to a more resilient barrier. I’ve also used it just on its own and just with the cream, but my normal-dehydrated-sometimes dry skin benefits greatly from the exact routine I used here. It’s a lightly hydrating formula that plays well with oils (no pilling, hooray) and it has a thicker lotion consistency to it. I always forget to throw my eye creams into photos — my current fave is Mad Hippie’s eye cream-gel.

August Beauty Box sign ups are open until August 10th - alongside this serum you’ll also be getting the Lovinah Vitamin C cleansing oil & Votary Intense Night Oil. The cost is always $49.95 and the total retail value comes in at $240!
