Alletse Aesthetic: July BoxyCharm Unboxing

Hey everyone!!

I can't even believe it's almost August which pretty much means it's Fall already right (lol)?
I'm so damn ready for it too, I was getting dressed the other day and it was all overcast-y outside and I had on black leggings and was about to put on a sweater until my husband pointed out that it was cloudy but still 108 outside and I looked crazy hahaha.
So I guess we're not actually quite there yet.
Ooooooooh by the way, I noticed that Bath & Body Works has some of their Fall Candles out already, I'm all over it.
The Fall & Winter collections are my favorite from Bath & Body Works a lot of the other collections are just so underwhelming.
Okay, okay this isn't about Bath & Body Works I swear once I start rambling hahaha.

It's the end of the month and that means it's BoxyCharm Time!!
This month's theme is Cutie Pie which is super cute and fitting for the season, it kinda just makes me want pie though.

I created the look below using all the products from my July Boxycharm.

So let's move on to this month's products (eeek).

1) Electric Eyes Palette by Blinc ($45)
Sadly mine came shattered and every time I tell myself, "Fuck it, I'm just gonna play with it anyway" I end up making a huge mess that's not fun to clean up.
I've since cleaned up and re-pressed my pans but they seem super fragile and still messy because they keep breaking.
At least I was able to get all my blog and vlog things done still though.
Although I don't wanna comment too much on the actual formula because mine was a mess, I will say that the look I created with this came out beautiful, they were very easy to use and layer, and I got amazing pigmentation and finish without foiling.
I even used the lightest shade (champagne) as my highlight and it was fucking poppin'.
As you can see in the above photos.

2) Ultra Matte Lip by ColourPop ($6)
I received the shade Notion.
When I first saw the ColourPop packaging, it had slightly neon red/orange ends and I was like dammit I'm gonna have to give this one away.
After my drama queen moment I finally opened it to find that it was actually a plummy berry shade which is beautiful and I don't currently have anything similar to this right now, probably because I can't stop buying nudes, although in the tube it appears to be more of a raspberry it far more vamp-y than that as you can see.
I didn't find this to be patchy at all for a deeper shade and was able to get a fully opaque lip with one coat, I also gotta say this appears to have a slight metallic shift that is beautiful in the light.
It's super matte but that's what I prefer, so it doesn't bother me at all.

3) Uni Brow Universal Eyebrow Pencil by WinkyLux ($12)
I've never had good luck with "universal shades" and actually don't purchase brow products that come this way anymore, they're always too warm or too light for my liking as this one proved to have that problem as well.
The shade was lighter than my natural brow hairs which looked hideous and was noticeably too warm for my complexion and black hair.
I also am not a fan of the triangular/tear shape that this features and with an overly creamy formula it dulled quickly and was impossible to make use of the one pointed edge.

4) Invisible Light Translucent Powder Duo by BareMinerals ($32)
I've had this in my shopping cart and have almost purchased it multiple times but it always lost out to something I wanted more at the time, so I guess it's a good thing that I waited because now I can take it off my list.
This duo is fucking perfect!!
The matte side sets your under eyes flawlessy but is very matte and wouldn't be great for someone with dry undereyes.
The glow side finishes the rest of your face with a slightly subtle luminosity that makes your skin look naturally radiant.

5) Spray. Set. Go. Makeup Setting Spray by Project Beauty ($32)
This stuff is fucking bomb, It's like literal hairspray for your face.
A little goes a long way with this product and pump combo, each spray pumps out a lot of product in a nice big cloud and I found that I only needed 2 sprays instead of my normal 50.
Even though my face was soaked it dried down withing 10 seconds and my face felt set but not tight or dry and it took down all the powder.
I really do think that this made my makeup look beautiful all day and I also feel like it helped keep me matte.
I do however still think that this is very overpriced for 2 ounces and wouldn't repurchase it for that price.
