Is everyone looking forward to getting this weekend started? Here in the offices we are excited about several things that we have in the works, but today is going to be dedicated to sharing Starlooks first StarBox of 2013.
Exactly two months ago, we started working with Starlooks by receiving and reviewing their monthly beauty subscription boxes. . If you are not familiar allow me to explain: Starlooks is a company that offers their members a monthly box subscription, named Starbox. Included inside the Starbox are different cosmetic products {ie..eye-shadows, lipstick, mascara, makeup tools, ect.}. To get a better idea of what the makeup looks like, please take a peek at our post on the November 2012 Starbox {HERE} and December 2012 Starbox {HERE}.
Now that you have an idea where this post is going, let's dive into it, shall we?
The January 2013 Starbox is all about achieving beautiful trendy eye looks. In order to get sexy seductive eyes, you need a few things: easy gliding eye liners and a good quality dome brush. This month's box had three (3) items that fit this description to the "tee".
This 858 Dome Brush is 100% pure, cruelty free pony hair which is extremely soft to the touch. Having a Dome Brush like this one, makes picking up eye-shadow product very easy as well as applying the shadow onto your lids. Another method of using this dome brush is by creating a "cut crease" using a darker shade of color.
Next, we have the basic of the basic: a Brown Eye Liner Pencil. The eye pencil applies very smoothly with a creamy finish. The color is a deep chocolate brown that works well with creating your basic smokey eye. The eye liner pencil is smudge proof and can be used in both upper and lower waterlines creating depth to your overall eye look.
The third eye product is my favorite so far! It is called Diamondline Eye Liner in "Fancy". The reason why this eye pencil became my instant favorite is not only due to the color {which is a sparkly emerald} but because it is ultra smooth and creamy. Applying the liner can be done in one single stroke making it perfect for everyone to use it. Other than the amazing brightness in color, the eye liner is waterproof - SCORE! Another great feature is its versatility: it can be applied as a liner {on either top or bottom of eye}, it can also be applied to the entire lid as an eye-shadow {which was the first look I did} as a single color, or can also be applied as a base color combining it with other shades. The emerald color would look amazing with shades of brown on the lid...
Wearing a gorgeous eye look can certainly be extremely flattering, but there is always room for "something else"....
The Starlooks Blush Compact in Cuty Peach is the ideal shade to adding a warm Spring glow to the cheeks. The blush is very color saturated with gold pearlecense which adds a touch of highlight to your cheek bone. I recommend using a stipple brush when applying this blush to the cheeks - due to the high pigment a little tap of color goes a very long way.
The last item that was included in this box was a complete surprise....
This Emerald beaded bracelet by Abby Rose Design is simply adorable. Each piece of jewelry created at Abby Rose Designs is handmade. What caught my attention about the bracelet was that there is no clasp attached to the ends - you simply put it on your wrist, gently squeeze it closed and that's it! You have a simple yet elegant piece of arm candy!
If you were wondering about the over all price point of the January Starbox, it's total value is $63. However, if you are a subscriber the box will cost you $15!
Today I only showed you one way of wearing the Diamondline Eye Liner only because we have been experiencing dreary dark weather here in Columbus which means that taking
high quality makeup photos has been quite challenging! But, do not worry. We are currently working on this and will be updating the blog with more makeup photos using these Starlook products - So please stay tuned for more!
Until then, to take a closer look at Starlooks and what they have to offer, please feel free to check them out on facebook / youtube / twitter and their website.
