30 Days of Giving Thanks! Day 28, 29, and 30

 

Monday | lookingjoligood.blog

November 28: I’m thankful for Mondays off of work.  It is so nice to be able to have a day off at the very beginning of the week to get things ready for the rest of the week!  Plus, it’s always nice to not have to work on Monday!

November 29: I’m thankful for audiobooks to enjoy on the ride to and from school with my children. We have listened to so many great books on our 30 min ride to and from school.  It is a great way to make being stuck in traffic fly by!

November 30: I’m thankful for enough. It really is true that being grateful turns what we have into enough. Focusing on what I’m thankful for these last few weeks has really helped me to be more aware of all the things I already have.

30 Days of Giving Thanks! Day 25 and 26

November 25: I’m thankful for sunshine!  It gets dark so early since turning back the clocks a few weeks ago for the end of daylight savings. I am so thankful that despite the shorter days, we have been having sunny days recently!

Hello, BoxyCharm! November 2017 Box

boxy charm hello charmer! | lookingjoligood.blogIf you don’t know what Boxy charm is, it is a monthly subscription box that is $21/month/box and has 5 full-sized products.  What I have been enjoying about Boxycharm is that instead of sample sizes like some other subscription boxes/bags, it has full sized products.boxycharm | lookingjoligood.blogNovember’s theme is Sweater Weather.  I love that they include a card with the product’s info and pricing on it.Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blogOriginally, I was only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months,  I have loved everything so much so far that I signed on for another three months… No one is surprised I’m sure.Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blogHere is what I got in my box this month: (I’m going to write about what I got in my box from my least to most favorite…)laqa & co Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blog

LAQ A & CO. Cloud Lips $17.00

Product Description: An airy matte lipstick that provides full coverage, but feels as light as a cloud. This highly-pigmented lipstick has a matte finish for a long-lasting fluffy, pouty lips that stay put. Surprisingly fluffy, Cloud Lips Airy Matte Lipstick delivers full coverage color for a pillow-soft pout. Available in 4 high-pigment shades, these lipsticks were formulated to last all day without feeling stiff thanks to avocado oil. 🐰 Cruelty Free

laqa & co Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blogThe packaging is absolutely beautiful! I have worn this lipstick a few times, and it is actually a decent lipstick, but … it definitely needs a lipliner, definitely stained my lips, definitely dried my lips out.  This isn’t a finish or shade that I would choose for myself. Not my favorite thing that I got in this box, but not terrible, I’m so picky when it comes to lip products though.  That brings me to the next item in the box…knc beauty Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blog

KNC Beauty Collagen Lip Mask $15.00

Product Description: Innovative jelly mask for your lips that hydrate moisturize and plump your pout with natural ingredients.

This lip mask was nothing like I expected it to be…It was thick pink slimy jelly.  It didn’t moisturize my lips at all, but instead made them feel completely numb…weird!  Would I pay $5 for one of these masks, nope, will I use the other two, of course, lol!Cover FX Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blog

Cover FX Illuminating Setting Spray 120 ml/4.0 fl oz $31.00

Product Description: A quick-drying setting spray that sets makeup for all-day wear and imparts instant, all-over illumination. It’s alcohol-free, so it’s not drying to the skin. Perfect for all skin tones and types.

I have worn this under and on top of my face makeup every day since I have gotten it. I really like the way it makes my foundation look!  It has a fine sparkle to it, not really glitter, but definitely sparkle, I guess that is where the Illumination comes from!

This setting spray has the best spray nozzle that I have ever used!  It is so fine and perfect that I can hardly even tell that it is spraying my face.  Unfortunately, after using it for a few weeks, it seems as if the sprayer has clogged with the sparkles and I cannot get it to spray anymore. Do I think that makes it worth $31? NO WAY!  Am I glad I received it in this box, absolutely!luxie brushes Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blog

Luxie Beauty Quad Eye Travel Set $32.00

Product Description: Take your game on the go with this quad travel set created with hand-crafted synthetic brushes.

I love Luxie brushes.  They are great quality and super soft.  These ones are travel size and perfect for my makeup bag I keep in my purse.winky lux Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blog

Winkylux Kitten Palette $25.00

Product Description: These ultra-soft shadows glide on like a dream. The universally flattering collection of shades makes this palette as lovable as a kitten. It features highly-pigmented shadows in four finishes: holographic, matte, satin, and glide.winky lux Boxy Charm November 2017 Sweater Weather | lookingjoligood.blogDo I need another eyeshadow palette, nope, do I want another eyeshadow palette, absolutely!  I have been wearing this every day since receiving it. I am especially in love with the 4th eyeshadow, (the first one from the left in the second row.)  Check out my IG post to see it in action!  LookingJoliGood

The shade selection is alike enough that they all coordinate nicely, yet different enough that I have been able to create several completely different eye looks.What I enjoy most about this palette is that it has everything you would need all in one place. Base/transition shades: check, deeper matte crease shades: check, shimmer lid shades: check, highlight/brow bone shades check.

November 24: I’m thankful for I’m thankful for Cary Schmit and the Emmanuel Baptist Church podcasts.

His year-long Sunday morning series on the gospel of Luke called Devoted has been just what I needed to hear! I especially loved the 3 podcasts from June about the Prodigal Sons in Luke 15:11-32 called “The Prodigal God”.

November 24: I’m thankful for the song Jesus, Thank You!

The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend,
The agonies of Calvary.
You, the Perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son,
Drank the bitter cup reserved for me.
Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father”s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.

By Your perfect sacrifice I”ve been brought near,
Your enemy made Your friend.
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace,
Your mercy and your kindness know no end.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father”s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.

Thank you Jesus | lookingjoligood.blog
