Cocotique Beauty Box (Limited Edition Box)

Cocotique is a $20 monthly beauty box subscription that includes 5-8 beauty deluxe samples/products.  I subscribed to Cocotique in September and I am one happy girl! A few weeks ago Cocotique was having a sale on past boxes (I think it was 20% off). So I jumped at a chance to buy a box. I chose the April 2014 Box because it was a Limited Edition box and there were Su-Kari and Shea Moisture products in it so I was SOLD!

Let me just say that Cocotique is my favorite beauty subscription of all time! Their brand is sophisticated from their packaging to their products. I love that their products are brown-girl friendly and are deluxe samples/full size products. I have discovered many new products from Cocotique and I am just thrilled with this box in partcular and with Cocotique! I plan on using all the products in this box and I am most excited about the Nubian Notions hand cream and the Su-Kari body butter. I discovered the Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni & Moni Smooth & Repair Hair & Scalp Weekly Therapy in a past Cocotique box and it is now my holy grail pre-poo product. The total value of this box is well over $20. Cocotique box values generally range from $50- $85. I give the Cocotique April 2014 Limited Edition Box an A+.

Beauties, Cocotique is a must-have, I highly recommend you subscribe!

December 2014 Ipsy Bag

Here is the December 2014 Ipsy Bag that all the products came in this month. It is a basic black bag with pink hardware. I was expecting a winter themed bag with sparkles, glitter and snowflakes more like the November 2014 Ipsy Bag. But, this month’s bag is a standard black that goes with anything I guess! This month’s bag is called Thinking of You.

I like this bag this month mainly because there is a nice variety of products and because I can use every single one. Bravo Ipsy! I am most excited about the Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara and the eye cream. I am actually really into trying new eye creams (random, right? haha). The total cost of items in an Ipsy Bag usually range from $30-$50 roughly. I would give this month’s bag a solid A.

Have you subscribed to Ipsy yet? You should! It’s only $10 a month! Click here to subscribe!

First Impressions/Review: Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara

Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara (Deep Brown):  “Bold and sculpted? How’s that for brow drama? Maybelline New York Eye Studio Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara is Maybelline’s first brow mascara that defines arches with the first-ever Sculpting Ball Brush. A colored gel tints brows and provides an even, natural, comfortable hold. No clumping. No flaking.” – Ulta.com Description of Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara

Price/Where to Buy: I purchased this product at CVS Pharmacy on Newbury Street in Boston,MA for $8.99. The product was on display on a top shelf in the cosmetic aisle.

My bare eyebrows, freshly waxed, no product

The Bad: This product gradually fills and darkens my eyebrows. I had to keep applying the gel until I got my desired result. I believe I ran the brush through my eyebrows about 10 – 15 times for several minutes.The color deep brown looks like medium brown in the tube but it still darkened my eyebrows. If you have very sparse eyebrows you may not see results with this product. The tail of my eyebrows are sparse so I have to concentrate the product on the tail and brush it out but I was able to see results with this method.

My eyebrows after using many applications of Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara

The Good: This brow gel gives the brows a very natural look. The product fills in brows and darkens them. It has great hold. You could even use another product to fill and darken your eyebrows like a pencil or a pomade and use this brow gel to set and hold the brow in place. However, you can still use this brow gel on it’s own. The brow gel does not clump or flake.  The product is also affordable. It also defined my arches beautifully.

Overall: I really enjoyed how natural my eyebrows looked after using this product but 10 to 15 applications to get it to fill in and darken my eyebrows is too long. I would use this product for when I really wanted a natural looking brow and if I had enough time to apply this brow gel. I think this product will be most effective on normal to thick eyebrows, freshly waxed, threaded or tweezed eyebrows and blonde to light brown eyebrows. For now I will use this product as a setting gel. I would give the Maybelline Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara a solid B.
