August 22, 2017February 26, 2021 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday:

Today’s tip is about how to add an extra boost of glow to your skin.

For an extra boost of hydration to your skin making it more glowy, to your moisturizer add two drops of your favorite facial oil, my favorite is the Tarte Maracuja Oil, $48 for 1.7 oz. Also, don’t forget to always smooth in moisturizer in upward strokes and remember to apply moisturizer to your neck and chest! I recommended the Cerave moisturizing cream.

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday:

This week’s tip will help you to hide any discoloration on your eyelids while also making your shadows stay in place all day

Prime your lids with a small amount of concealer and set it with a finely milled setting powder before applying your eyeshadow. It will hide any discoloration on your lids, while also making your shadows look more opaque. Added bonus, it will also keep your shadows in place all day.

Goodbye, Ipsy… Hello, BoxyCharm!

August 11, 2017August 11, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

As you may recall, I subscribed to Ipsy for over two years. (How could you not recall since I wrote about my glam bags every month 😉) I really looked forward to trying out the samples and loved getting my pink shiny envelope in the mail each month.

After a lot of going back and forth, I decided that I wanted to move on to something different. While I have really enjoyed so many of the samples that I received over the last few years, I felt as if I was getting bored with them, while also feeling overwhelmed with too many small sample products to try. I am ready for change!

I went back and forth between getting a subscription for Boxy Charm or Glossy Box. Both boxes are $21 per month. Both boxes seem to have deluxe and full-size samples.

From the research I did, Glossy Boxes has more skin care and deluxe samples, whereas Boxy Charm seems to have more makeup related items and full-size product.

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. It was a tough decision.

Boxycharm seemed to be the way to go. According to the website, Boxy Charm always has 4-5 full sized items and claims that each box has a value of $100 or more.

So while this is my last month getting ipsy, I have finally I signed up for a subscription to Boxy Charm. For now, I am only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months. We’ll see how things go.

Up until now, I was on the “waiting list” but received an email letting me know that I’ll be getting the August box. I already saw a sneak peek of a few of the things that are in the August box and I am soooooo excited for what is coming in this month’s Boxycharm.

Stay tuned for a post when I get the box in a few weeks!

Do you get BoxyCharm? Do you get any other monthly subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

Tip Tuesday #76

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday:

This week’s tip is about applying concealer to the under eye area.

The skin around the eye is super delicate! Your ring finger has the softest touch, so always use your ring finger to blend concealer beneath your eyes. Follow this tip when applying eye cream to this area as well.

Ipsy July 2017 Glam Bag (Last Glam Bag Ever…)

August 6, 2017August 6, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

I know that I have been saying it for the last few months, but I finally went ahead and canceled my ipsy subscription. I have been getting ipsy for more than two years now, and while I have really enjoyed the samples that I have gotten, I just felt like I am ready to move on to another subscription box.

Ok, I also realize that it is already August and I am only now writing about my July ipsy bag… Summer is so much fun and the time has been flying, I know it is not really an excuse….but I figured that since I love to see what everyone gets in their bags and especially since this is my last one, I figured I would still write about my July glam bag.

July’s theme is “Over Easy”

over easy | lookingjoligood.blog (If you don’t know what ipsy is you can check out my previous post all about it by clicking HERE) ipsy and gudetama | lookingjoligood.blog If you follow me on Instagram you already saw what I got in my July glam bag. ipsy july 2017 | lookingjoligood.blog This month’s bag is one of my LEAST favorite bags yet. It has an egg yoke sleeping on the front and an egg butt on the back. What? I really don’t get it? I have a feeling that Gudetama must be something popular somewhere, but I am not impressed. Hey, you can’t win them all right. gudetama | lookingjoligood.blog My kids have been cracking themselves up over this bag ever since it came in the mail. Every once in a while they’ll look at each other and say “Meh…” and start laughing. gudetama details | lookingjoligood.blog

Here is what I got in my July 2017 Ipsy Glam Bag:

BRTC Jasmine Waterful Sleeping Mask

I have to be honest, I haven’t used this yet even though I got it almost a month ago. I don’t want to jinx myself, but my skin has been great lately! I have a great routine going right now and I just don’t want to mess with it…Maybe I will use this in the future for a “How ’bout Them Samples.” As for now, I just can’t mess with fate.

IBY Beauty Crease Brush

If you have read many of my other ipsy posts you already know how I feel about getting brushes. I’ll spare you the details. That being said, I have been enjoying using this brush. The dense, domed shape makes this the perfect brush to blend out darker shadow shades and create definition. The super soft, synthetic bristles are 100% vegan.

ofra swatch ofra eyeshadow | lookingjoligood.blog You know how I feel about tiny sample sizes, I get so annoyed. I’m so glad that Ofra doesn’t cheap out on it’s samples like some other brand I won’t name (*cough the Balm cough*) This one is a great size!

Other ipsters may have gotten the shade Victory which is a mossy brown shade. (I’m glad that I got Gold Rush.)
tarte rainforest of the sea | lookingjoligood.blog

tarte cosmetics Rainforest of the Sea™ deep dive cleansing gel

Ummm, I haven’t used this one either…just read what I wrote under the BRTC Jasmine Waterful Sleeping Mask, it applies here too. I really do love Tarte products though… The packaging is super cute.

Supposedly it gets off water proof makeup is hypoallergenic and non-drying. It is also supposed to be a cleanser that’s ideal for daily use. I don’t know, maybe it will be in a future “How ’bout Them Samples” along with the BRTC Jasmine Waterful Sleeping Mask.

trèStiQue Mini Concealer Crayon in Porcelain

The packaging of trèStiQue products is super cute. So if packaging is your thing, you’ll probably love all their products. I haven’t used this concealer under my eyes, but instead as an eyeshadow primer. It has a creamy, coconut oil-infused formula that feels hydrating.

boxycharm | lookingjoligood.blog

So while this is my last month getting ipsy, I have finally made up my mind and I signed up for a 3-month subscription to Boxy Charm. Up until now, I was on the “waiting list” but actually just got an email last night that I’ll be getting the August box.

I already saw a sneak peek and I am soooooo excited for what is coming in this month’s Boxycharm. Stay tuned for a post when I get the box in a few weeks!

Walmart Beauty Boxes Summer 2017

August 3, 2017August 2, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

Did you know that Walmart has it’s own a subscription beauty box? Yup, they do! It is a quarterly box and only costs $5 a season.

Walmart technically calls it a “sample box” and says that the box itself is free and the $5 is a flat rate for shipping and handling. Either way, the box costs $5 each season.

In your Walmart Beauty Box, you can expect to find around 7-9 samples. Sometimes there are even a few full sized makeup samples.

How does it work?

You sign up at https://beautybox.walmart.com/
Create and account
Add your payment and shipping info
Wait for you confirmation email
Enjoy your beauty box when it arrives

The Walmart beauty box website says

“Each subscriber will be charged upon receiving an order confirmation (locking in your box for the season).
If you do not receive an order confirmation, please check your account information to make sure the payment and shipping information in your account is up to date (as well as check your junk mail). Following the order confirmation email is a shipping confirmation, once you receive the shipping confirmation email you can expect a delivery within 5-10 business days. Each seasonal Beauty Box is a limited edition and may sell out at any time. Note: Beauty products may vary by box.”

There are two different types of boxes available, the classic and the trendsetter. Up until recently, only one box could be sent per email address, but that has been changed. I now receive both boxes.

Here is what I got in this season’s box:

Classic Box

7 sample sized products

Seriously though, once again this deodorant! How many times are they going to send me the same exact Dove advanced care deodorant?! I think that I have gotten 9 so far! I don’t use this type of deodorant, so I have 9 mini tubes just sitting around that I really need to drop off at the woman’s shelter in my area.

Trendsetter Box

2 full size products and 4 sample products and 1 trial sized product

Here is what I received in my Spring 2017 Trendsetter Box

Here is what I received in my Spring 2017 Classic Box

Instead of the usual Classic Box, Walmart Beauty contacted me and asked if I would be interested in receiving a special “Me Moment” box. Here is what I got:

I’m sure you will be seeing some of these items in an upcoming How ’bout Them Samples Post. 🙂

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday:

Today’s tip is about how to apply mascara without weighing down your lashes.

Start applying the mascara from the roots of your lashes and not the tips. Using this technique will give you enough extra volume at the base of the lashes without weighing down the tips of eyelashes.

Ditch The Diet for Healthy Habits

Does Anything Taste As Good As Skinny Feels?

July 14, 2017April 29, 2017 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

~Ditch The Diet~

In an interview with fashion magazine WWD in 2009, Kate Moss said her famous motto “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”

Both fans and critics have been quoting her ever since…

While, yes, as women, we love to feel “skinny”, and the culture around us puts so much importance on our outer appearance. It is very easy to get caught up in the “Thin Is In” mindset.

But at what cost?

Is it more important to be thin than to be healthy? Is being skinny more important than being able to enjoy your life? Is being skinny worth the price of your joints and kidneys? Is being skinny so important that it is worth starving for?

The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20** That your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and that we are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

God tells us that we need to take care of our bodies because not only do they belong to Him, but they are also the house that the Holy Spirit lives in.

Don’t buy into the lie that being thin at any cost is more important than taking care of the body that God gave you to live in.

So while Kate Moss may have her motto, here is my motto “Skinny Never Looks As Good As Healthy Feels!”

**1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
