I’m a bit late with my Glossybox this month but to be fair…so was Glossybox! But I think it was worth the wait! This month we have some makeup, nail polish, & body care- all things I really enjoy sampling. Some full sizes too! Keep reading for all the details!

Here’s the card for this month, again no theme inside but you do get basic information. Remember to click to enlarge if need be.

 photo GlossyboxApril2014SwatchesReview04_zpsfd7326d1.jpg

Inside the April 2014 Glossybox for USA-

Bellapierre Cosmetics Super Gloss in Vanilla Pink– This is a full sized gloss & has lots of moisturizing qualities like vitamin E, jojoba, avocado, & sunflower waxes. It also claimes to be infused with a natural plumper. I am honestly trying to decide on the scent & I’m thinking maybe something apple pie-ish? Sounds odd but I kind of like it, smells a bit warm. I don’t know about this shade all over the lip yet but I think in the center of my lip it will be lovely.

Caldrea No 2 Tea Olive Lime Body Wash- I tried this in the shower this morning & loved it! So naturally energizing- I’d love to check out more scents. It was a softer scent on my skin but bubbled up nicely!

Ciate Paint Pot in Kitten Heels- This is my first Ciate polish I believe because when they launched they burned some blogger bridges about their Caviar kits. Anyway, moving on, the shade is absolutely lovely & the bottle is sleek. I don’t love my bow though- I think it is crooked.

LA Splash Cosmetics Eyeshadow Sealer/Base- This is supposed to be used as a base for either glitter or eyeshadow but I don’t think it is tacky enough for dense glitter application. I don’t like how long the handle is either- it seems absolutely unnecessary since it is just a doe foot. Still excited to try it although I don’t know if I’d pay the $9 price tag yet.

Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme in Lavender & Chamomile- I’m in love! I used this right after a long bath yesterday when I was trying to make myself feel less sick. Could this have been the magical cure? Okay likely not but the scent is absolutely relaxing & this is made in the USA for a decent price as well!

 photo GlossyboxApril2014SwatchesReview05_zps97242b64.jpg
 photo GlossyboxApril2014SwatchesReview06_zps71c167cb.jpg

The two items I was most excited about were the Ciate Paint Pot in Kitten Heels & the Bellapierre gloss in Vanilla Pink because they’re both full-sized & they look perfect for summer. I love the orange base to the red in the Ciate shade & the golden shimmer is lovely. This gloss shade is unexpected- more of a peachy nude & might be something I use more in the center of my lip to make them appear fuller.

I’m really loving this box! It was full of products I actually enjoy & has a great value as well. If you’re interested in signing up for Glossybox USA it is a monthly subscription service for only $21 a month. I have posted lots of reviews so check them out for reference!

What did you think of this box? Have you signed up for Glossybox? If you got the April Box, did you get anything different?

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks in Defiant Coral & Potent Review + Lip Swatches

May 14, 2014 By StephanieLouise 121Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F05%2Festee-lauder-pure-color-envy-sculpting.htmlEstee+Lauder+Pure+Color+Envy+Sculpting+Lipsticks+in+Defiant+Coral+%26+Potent+Review+%2B+Lip+Swatches2014-05-14+14%3A11%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F05%2Festee-lauder-pure-color-envy-sculpting-lipsticks-in-defiant-coral-potent-review-lip-swatches.html

I bought it. Affiliate links.

First off- I’m very sick today. So sick I almost didn’t get up to post. But I honestly love these lipsticks so much that it pushed me through. Guess that gives away if I think you should love them or leave them! I had seen a little buzz about the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks but it was seeing them in person that totally converted me. I currently own two Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Lipsticks in Defiant Coral & Potent which are absolutely becoming fast favorites in my large stash. What makes them stand out from the rest? Keep reading to find out!

The packaging on this collection is a deep navy with metallic gold touches. I love the magnetic closure- I want all lipsticks to do this lately because they feel more secure & have a nice balance weight-wise. The scent is a soft, sweet vanilla which I definitely wasn’t expecting since Estee Lauder doesn’t normally go that route.

So Estee Lauder’s promise behind this line is “A color-rich, high-intensity sculpting lip formula.” They also say that these shades are “statement-making shades feature a time-release complex that captures and seals in moisture, softening lips. They glide on effortlessly for smooth, luxurious wear that lasts for up to six hours.”

While I don’t think they quite last up to 6 hours they are worth reapplying. The shades are both very creamy & pigmented but not drying. Normally pigmentation doesn’t necessarily go hand in hand with moisturization so this is an excellent new find. They apply bold with very little effort & don’t feel heavy. They seem to hug my lips without drying them out or sliding around. These may just be the perfect formulation for a bold, comfortable lip color.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks in Defiant Coral & Potent Review + Lip Swatches via @stephlouiseatb (Bare Lips)

Here are my bare lips. You can see I don’t have much pigmentation. Also I was testing a new tinted moisturizer this day- obviously I needed some more moisture going on! Still maneuvering that one!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks in Defiant Coral & Potent Review + Lip Swatches via @stephlouiseatb

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in 310 Potent- A soft slightly peach/nude toned creamy pink.

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks in Defiant Coral & Potent Review + Lip Swatches via @stephlouiseatb

Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in 320 Defiant Coral- A bright medium coral leaning orange with quite warm undertones. (It looks a bit more reddened on me likely because I’m so fair.)

I would definitely like to get my hands on a few more shades- especially this fall/winter when my lips are ultra chapped. I currently have my eye on the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipsticks in Tumultuous Pink & Vengeful Red. I’ll have to hold off at the moment though because these shades are a bit of a splurge at $30 each from Sephora, Nordstrom, & wherever Estee Lauder cosmetics are sold.

Have you tried this line yet? Definitely different from my older Estee Lauder lipsticks! What shades are calling your name?

Perlier Honey Miel Royal Elixir Facial Serum Review

May 13, 2014 By StephanieLouise 122Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F05%2Fperlier-honey-miel-royal-elixir-facial.htmlPerlier+Honey+Miel+Royal+Elixir+Facial+Serum+Review2014-05-13+21%3A27%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F05%2Fperlier-honey-miel-royal-elixir-facial-serum-review.html

Skincare is really on my mind lately, especially with the seasons changing quickly here. Humidity is here & the gross heat isn’t far behind! I may have dry skin but don’t think I don’t feel it start to get grossly hot & uncomfortable! The Perlier Honey Miel Royal Elixir Facial Serum was the perfect new product to adjust my skincare routine- it even adds a golden glow! keep reading to find out more!


From Perlier, the exclusive innovative Youth Elixir with fresh Royal Jelly, the precious secret of longevity of the Queen bee, which lives 50 times longer than the other bees thanks to this extraordinary nourishment. A natural, unique and imitable tonic, which is capable to give the look of new life into aged skin.

It is a true cosmetic prodigy, which mixes the extraordinary regenerating power of Royal Jelly, fresh as if recently collected, (never freeze dried or made into a powder) and the incredible vital energy of true Italian organic Honey for unprecedented age-defying effectiveness. 

 photo PerlierHoneyMielRoyalElixirFacialSerumReview02_zps596a542e.jpg

Perlier suggests using this serum both day & night each day but I have only been using it during the day. I love the soft, barely there golden glow it gives my skin because it had ultra fine golden shimmer inside. If you’re currently ready to say this isn’t for you please believe that you don’t look glittery at all- just healthily glowy. I found that I could mix this a bit with a foundation for a tinted moisturizer that was creamy to the touch. I also love that it has a pump!

The serum itself blends in seamlessly with my skin. I find that it incorporates in easily & melts nicely but my dry skin definitely needs more moisture so I top it with some. This feels creamy & smells a bit floral. Perlier replaced water with rose distillate, which provides toning and moisturizing properties & leads to that lovely scent. This is a pricey serum so if I was going to change one thing it would be maybe some more natural ingredients & for me personally even more moisturization. I actually really enjoy using this down my neck & on my decolletage because of the light glow- really pretty!

You can purchase the Perlier Honey Miel Royal Elixir Facial Serum for $99 from HSN currently. What are your favorite serums? How about your favorite honey-based products? I have a whole post about my favorite Honey Obsessed products if you’re interested!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight Fragrance for Spring 2014 is Delightful!

May 12, 2014 By StephanieLouise 1241 Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F05%2Fmarc-jacobs-daisy-delight-fragrance-for.htmlMarc+Jacobs+Daisy+Delight+Fragrance+for+Spring+2014+is+Delightful%212014-05-12+18%3A47%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F05%2Fmarc-jacobs-daisy-delight-fragrance-for-spring-2014-is-delightful.html

Marc Jacobs is one of those brands I happen to collect fragrances from. Something about the notes works really well with my body chemistry which is key when you’re picking your own personal scents. Keep reading to see why Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight is fabulous for spring!
From Sephora:
Daisy Marc Jacobs Delight editions bloom with breezy, fun florals splashed in effervescent colors. Taking inspiration from the elegant feminine allure of Daisy classic, the new limited editions turn up the brightness with irresistibly vibrant hues.

A luminous bouquet, bursting with fresh-picked florals, Daisy Delight edition is a vibrant expression of Daisy signature. The fragrance blooms into a vibrant burst of quince flower and iris, brightened with crisp red apple. Sun-ripened woods and musks dry town to a warm, sensual embrace.

Notes:
Apple, Quince Flower, Feesia, Iris, Gardenia, Peony, Musks, Cedarwood, Sandalwood.
Style:
Playful. Surprising. Delightfully Fun.

First of all- I love the original Marc Jacobs Daisy & Daisy Eau So Fresh both anyway. I am always drawn to both the Daisy & Daisy Eau So Fresh from Marc Jacobs each year for limited edition scents since they draw from the original fragrances. Last year I bought the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine which I reviewed & was one of my favorite fragrances of the year. When hubby & I smelled both versions this year we both agreed we preferred the Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight over the Daisy Delight Eau So Fresh. The Delight seems to be a bit more sensual spring with woods & apples along with bright notes while the other seemed to have less levels & dimension. Please keep in mind that fragrances don’t smell the same on everyone so what I love about this perfume might be more of a backstory on your own skin!

This is a smaller bottle size than the Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight Eau So Fresh which is 2.5 fl oz. for $89 while the Delight is 1.7 fl oz & $75. Although pricer per ounce the Delight also lasted significantly longer on my skin personally which is always something I consider.

You can purchase the Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight fragrance for $75 from Sephora, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Dillard’s, & wherever you can scoop up Marc Jacobs limited edition fragrances near you.

Butter London Lolly Brights Summer 2014 Swatches, Review, & Eye Look!

Spring has officially sprung here (finally!) so I’m ready to talk about the Lolly Brights Collection from Butter London which happens to be for summer… Think of it as a summer pop! The eye shades are especially fabulous spring-y so don’t come back in a few months- get prepped right now! I have some brights & some pastels – some nail colors & some eyes/cheeks- I have a bit of everything! Keep reading to check them out!

From Butter London- From beach to boardwalk, these fun flirty shades celebrate the best of summer. With bright pops of colour for eye, lip, cheek and nail, the Lolly Brights collection is sheer enough for every day, and buildable for long, hot nights.

Let’s check out the polishes first shall we? Each shade I have below is two coats but Chuffed likely should have been 3. These shades are all topped with a quick topcoat. Color breakdown below!

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks05_zpsdcdb5397.jpg

Butter London Nail Polish in Chuffed– a semi-sheer tangerine based orange with mainly golden flecks & a few sprinkled pink flecks.

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks06_zps58533d53.jpg

Butter London Nail Polish in Sozzled– a kelly green cream.

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks07_zps17949386.jpg

Butter London Nail Polish in Stroppy– a grape purple foil shimmer with pink, purple, & blue shimmers.

I really love all 3 of these shades! Stroppy is different from like everything I have & I have tons of purple! Because I’m a purple person! I thought I’d have something like Sozzled because I’m a collector of greens but the rest of my stash is somehow different. I absolutely love that formula as well, it was a really easy 2 coats. Chuffed is very summery & although a bit more sheer I think I’ll probably be wearing this on my toes because the light hitting that gold is really reflective & pretty.

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks08_zpsfe378aea.jpg
 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks03_zps4b6aa040.jpg

Let me start with the cream shadows first! I’ve reviewed a few cream shadow options from Butter London before but these are more colorful. The pink shade is Butter London Wink Cream Eye Shadow in Pistol Pink which is a pastel rose-toned pink & the purple is Butter London Wink Cream Eye Shadow in Indigo Punk which is a soft lavender. Both contain kind of a soft nearly metallic pearl. I found that Pistol Pink had more pigmentation in one easy swipe but both shades are totally blendable & layer nicely- just let them dry in between coats. The formula on this line is lovely & doesn’t cream on me over primer after setting. 

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks09_zps51cde269.jpg
 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks04_zpsd20e2f8d.jpg

I am still totally in love with the Butter London Cheeky Cream Blushes (more reviewed here!) & this shade in Piccadilly Circus is exactly what I needed in my life! Kind of a poppy red this shade may look intimidating but it blends out beautifully & looks absolutely gorgeous on the skin. I really love this formulas SO much! That gorgeous yellow shade is Butter London Wink Eye Pencil in Cherrio which is a nice brightened medium true yellow with gold shimmer. I don’t find the gold to overtake this at all which is why I love it! If you’re into color then you are probably with me since I think these two shades are my favorites out of the entire collection. I love reds on the cheeks & I’ve been searching for an excellent yellow eyeliner for ages- this is it!

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeks02_zps1f579ee4.jpg

Left to right-  Butter London Wink Cream Eye Shadow in Indigo Punk, Butter London Wink Cream Eye Shadow in Pistol Pink, Butter London Wink Eye Pencil in Cherrio, & Butter London Cheeky Cream Blush in Piccadilly Circus.

 photo ButterLondonSpring2014SwatchesReviewNailsEyelinerCheeksSpringEyeshadowLookTutorial01_zps83fe09f6.jpg

I also wanted to show you this spring-y but also summer appropriate eye look I created. I shared a teaser in Instagram & you guys seemed to love it! I blended Pistol Pink all over my lid with Indigo Punk on the outer edge. On my lower lashline is Butter London Wink Eye Pencil in Cherrio which really pops, am I right? Love!

You can view all the shades on the Butter London website here & you can purchase them on the Butter London website, ULTA, & wherever Butter London LE collections are sold.

Trind Treatments + Nail Color Swatches & Review for Spring/Summer 2014

Trind is a line completely new to me & I am digging these shades for spring/summer! I was also sent a few nail care products to try & I have some thoughts on those as well. New brand to me & completely different bottle shape from what I have in my stash too! Keep reading to check out my thoughts!

The Trind Caring Color Line offers a fascinating palette of fashionable shades for fabulous nails. Nail color that specially has been developed to maintain the health and vitality of your nails. The high-tech innovative formulation in Caring Colors contains active ingredients that strengthen and improve the overall condition of the nail, optimize adhesion of polish to prolong the life of your manicure, and creates a beautiful sheen.

 photo TrindCaringColorNailPolishRemoverTreatmentSwatchesReiew02_zpsa66c9e52.jpg

First let’s talk about the treatment type products from Trind: Nailpolish Remover, Keratin Nail Restorer, & Keratin Nail Protector.  My favorite is the Trind remover because it reminds me an awful lot of a remover I absolutely love that comes in a purple shade from a well-known brand. Really moisturizing & great removal- my nails don’t look parched at all afterward! The Keratin Nail Restorer is used before the Protector. You apply it to your bare nails & run in the excess. Then you apply the Protector which acts as your basecoat & apply polish over top. It is meant for strengthening. I don’t find it helps harden my nails but it definitely helped with peeling!

 photo TrindCaringColorNailPolishRemoverTreatmentSwatchesReiew03_zps001dde94.jpg

I have 6 shades from their spring/summer collection to share with you today. All swatches are with topcoat. All of these shades were a bit more dense than most polishes but with careful application you only need about two coats. I could’ve used 3 on Trind Surf’s Up but my visible nail line wasn’t as apparent in real life. I did wear test these shades & found that without topcoat & with the provided base coat I got about 3 days of wear before chipping which is quite good for me!

Trind Caring Color Nail Lacquer in Miss O’Hara– a red leaning, brightened watermelon pink.

Trind Caring Color Nail Lacquer in Mellow Yellow– a sunny medium yellow. (Look how tan it makes me look!)

Trind Caring Color Nail Lacquer in Mint Julep– a softened blue-leaning turquoise.

I’m really happy with these shades! I think they are absolutely spot-on for spring & summer. I honestly can’t pick a favorite! I love the creams & the shimmers & would love to try more of both.

You can purchase Trind products from skinstore.com, skindirect.com, ultimatebeautyonline.com & trind.ca.

So this is a bit different from most of the scrubs out there. It really does the work for you! You don’t need to push hard, scrub hard, or work hard! I take a pretty small amount because this is packed with exfoliating bits & bobs & there is no need to waste product! I apply using barely there, circular motions then rinse clean. This is the perfect step for both general exfoliation & prepping your face for self tanner. Hopefully you can see in the photos above that the scrub is dense enough that it hold its shape but flexible enough that it isn’t hard. You can see the jojoba beads in there as well! I wanted to show you the very small exfoliating bits as well which you can just lightly see in the last photo. Those do the work so you don’t have to!

My skin is combo/dry but also somewhat sensitive & I haven’t had issues with this scrub. I don’t use it with a washcloth, Clarisonic, or other extra exfoliating device either & I wouldn’t recommend doing that. This scrub is a powerhouse & should be treated as such! Plus it has a light, fresh citrus scent that helps boost me a bit in the morning, who doesn’t love that?

There is even a Buy 1 Get 1 Free going on! Use coupon code:BOGO2014 Valid till June 31, 2014 which is a savings of $17.00 on the Beautisol site right now! They have a 30 day money back guarantee as well.
