I’ve made my first Fenty purchase!!

I’ve made my first Fenty purchase!!

Fenty Skin has dropped and as a true member of her Navy I went ahead and ordered the Fenty Skin Start’rs which comes with the Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All Cleanser, Fat Water Pore-Refining Toner Serum, and Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer. Do I have it yet? No, but I have been doing my preliminary research and so far, discovered that this may work for me, but it will not be my go-to until a dry skin type friendly version is released. Still going to use it and post about it because I could be wrong. Rihanna seems to have oily combination/sensitive skin so it makes sense her product would be suitable for her skin type. Same was with the launch of the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Long-wear Foundation, they launched with a matte formula first because it is more flattering for her skin type. When they launched their hydrating equivalent that was when I knew I could join the Fenty Beauty complexion party. I feel, that will be the same situation here. Give it a couple more months and the line will expand to cover more skin types and skin issues.

I have learned that the Total Cleans’r uses gentle surfactants (cleansers) to do the actual cleaning of the skin with added benefits from Acerola cherries for vitamin C, which promotes brightening of the skin and Ginkgo Bilboa for healing benefits.

The Fat Water is a toner serum hybrid that helps your pores look tighter and control oil production while delivering ingredients to your skin that help reduce dark spots.

The Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen is a 2-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen that is said to be lightweight, oil free and truly invisible on all skin tones. I will be the judge of that! I am waiting to receive this to do a proper top 10 of rich skin tone friendly sunscreens, so stay tuned!

All of this sounds wonderful and I cant wait to get my goodies and try this line out for myself!

BoxyCharm Premium Box July 2020

BoxyCharm Premium Box July 2020

My premium box has finally arrived and while I am happy, I will admit that this box was a little, meh. Nothing really grabbed my attention upon opening the box. Now don’t get me wrong these are some nice items, but I can probably blame my criticism on my recent project which as me doing product packaging analysis on these types of products. Upon opening everything though I must say again, these are some nice items!!

My Boxycharm Premium box July 2020 contained:

boxycharm premium edit

Morphe- Morphe X Manny Mua Glam Palette MSRP: $20.00

Byroe- Bitter Essence Toner MSRP: $95.00

Folly Fire- Matte Manipulation Trio MSRP: $39.99

Laura Geller- Line-N-Define Dual Dimension Eyeliner MSRP: $24.00

Kenia Ontiveros Beauty- Blush & Shine Kit MSRP:$42.00

Boxycharm- Neon Jelly Pouch with Pom Pom

I’ve been looking forward to getting the Bitter Essence Toner since they did a reveal over on their Instagram page. I’ll give it a month to see how it truly works but I can say it is rich and slippery like squalene. It smells great and works well with my other products.

The pouch is cute and could fit everything I received but I honestly don’t need any more pouches after a year long subscription to Ipsy. It was cool but trial size of basic products did not appeal to me anymore. The pouches were very cute.

The Folly Fire- Matte Manipulation Trio swatches well and are really cute.

Once I break through this creativity block, I may play in my makeup, but I am currently big on my skincare and how those products work. The Morphe X Manny Mua Glam Palette is verryyy cute!! The shadows are nicely pigmented and the highlighters are nice.

The Kenia Ontiveros Beauty- Blush & Shine Kit is a blush kit. Its beautiful but does not stand out to me. The packaging is nice.

As for the eyeliner its a felt tipped liner, dual ended with a golden highlighter stick on the other end.

Overall it was a nice box. Maybe I’m temporarily over makeup or its just the packaging, but I do look forward to my august boxes!!
