Want your lips to look fuller?

To make your lips look fuller, apply a shimmery gloss to the center of both the top and bottom lip.  The shimmer will attract light to your lips, making them look bigger and fuller.

Glossy Box vs Boxy Charm

If you know me in real life, you know that I love to research out everything before I make a purchase.  I always want to make the best choice!

I have decided that I am going to be subscribing to either a Glossy Box or Boxy Charm subscription. I haven’t quite decided for sure which one I am going to get…

Both boxes are $21 per month. Both boxes seem to have deluxe and full-size samples.

From the research I have done, it seems as if Glossy Box has more skin care and deluxe samples, whereas Boxy charm seems to have more makeup related items and full-size product.

I am leaning more towards Boxy Charm.  I definitely prefer makeup and full-size products, but on the other hand, it is nice to be able to try out new skincare products that I might not ever try otherwise.

This is what was included in the February 2017 Boxy Charm

 

Glossy Box usually has around 7-10 items with some being full sized and others being deluxe samples. From what I can tell, Boxy Charm always has 4-5 full sized items.  Both claim that each box has a value of $100 or more.

Glossy Box vs Boxy Charm…whichever I do choose, you know that I will be writing a review about it and all the great things that I get in the box.

What about you?  Do you get either Glossy Box or Boxy Charm or both?  Do you love it and recommend it?

Ditch The Diet for Healthy Habits

Perfection and Consistency

~Ditch the Diet~

perfection and consistency | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

A healthy lifestyle is not is not about perfection it is about consistency.

When something is done with consistency is when the results are seen. Consistently eating healthy, exercising, getting enough sleep, decreasing the stress in your life, these things bring positive results.

You are the only one who can choose what you will be doing consistently.

Keep in mind that consistency always brings results… we get to choose what we will be doing and whether those results will be negative or positive.

Tips and Tricks

Tip Tuesday #57

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Today’s tip is about blush application.

When applying your blush always allow about two fingers from your nose to where your blush application starts.  This will help balance the face, as well as apply blush to the areas of your face that would naturally flush.

No Gym No Problem

No Gym? No Problem! #12

You may not realize it, but flexibility is just as important for you as strength and cardio!  Sometimes I am so sore from a previous intense workout that I need to focus for a few days on flexibility and stretching.  This is a quick 10-minute flexibility workout by (my favorite) Jessica Smith!

Remember to keep good proper form and warm up before and stretch after you exercise!

Ipsy March 2017 Glam Bag

 

beautiful | lookingjoligood.blog

March’s theme is “Tres Jolie! You’re Beautiful (pass it on)”

March’s ipsy glam bag is already here and since I am just posted my February ipsy glam bag review a few days ago, this month seems to have flown by!

If you follow me on Instagram you already saw my March bag.

(If you don’t know what ipsy is you can check out my previous post all about it by clicking HERE)

I love this month’s bag!  The material is a soft faux suede that is a light dusty rose pink shade with a black and white mesh overlay on one side. It has a super cute rose gold zipper pull. This month’s bag is different from all the other bags in that this one is larger than usual. The top section can be folded over making it the size of most ipsy bags.

Here is what I got in my March 2017 ipsy glam bag:

Doucce Freematic Eyeshadow in Marisa

This product is noted to be a “Creator Favorite”  It is a beautiful color, but once again, this is another tiny little sample from doucce.

  • Weighing in at 1.4 g
  • “The shimmery rose color may look more like a blush, but is insanely pretty on lids. Try it alone (just add a little mascara) for a daytime look or with winged out liner for girly-glam vibes.

  • We heart dual-purpose powders! This one goes on dry for a more natural and subdued effect or wet for amped up drama.

  • Our Creators are obsessed with how this powder formula glides right on without caking or creasing.”

I kinda hate getting hair products in my glam bags.  It is better than nail polish, but only like one step above it.  This product is supposed to be a 10 in 1: detangler, stregthener protector against damage, and speed up drying time all while adding shine.  I think that it has a very pleasant scent, but you know me, super sensitive to scents…it gives me a headache. My daughters hair is going to be getting some awesome benefits!ultra repair face moisturizer | lookingjoligood.blog

Skone Cosmetics Luxe Pro Blending Brush

Synthetic bristles are not only cruelty-free and super soft.Fun fact: The brand name means beauty in Afrikaans.  I have mentioned before that I both love and hate getting brushes in my ipsy bags.  I have gotten some awesome brushes that I use on a daily basis, and then I have gotten some that I have never used.  So far I have used this brush every day since I got it, so that already shows that I really like this brush!
