Did anyone do any Black Friday Shopping? I found myself on the Sephora website at 5:00AM going through their offerings for Black Friday but other than that I didn’t do any shopping. There were quite a few deals and the mall nearby my work was crazy busy. For me it just really feels like November is coming to an end and Christmas will be here before we know it! I’m soooo excited! Anyways, I wanted to share some subscription box favourites below.
Royal & Langnickle Brushes
Received in: BoxyCharm February 2017 and BoxyCharm August 2017
I am so impressed with these brushes. They are extremely soft and blend my eyeshadow perfectly.
I’ll start with the gold set of brushes which I use as shader brushes. This came together as part of the Omnia line. The natural hair large shader brush is great for putting eyeshadow all over my lid. I also really love the synthetic smudger brush for smoking out my eyeliner or blending out the lower lash line. These brushes look really fancy and are super lightweight.
The next brush I received from a later Boxycharm box is this synthetic crease brush which came in a set of three from the Moda Pro line.
The other brushes are for the face and I really like them. This guy is becoming my go-to for blending out the crease. I like it because it’s really fluffy but the tip is tapered so it keeps the eyeshadow in the area I place it. I also really love the design of this barrel. It’s rubberized with a cushion style pattern that makes it super comfortable to grip.
Buff Her House of Exfoliation Vanilla Almond Crumbles
Received in: Ipsy Glam Bag September 2016
I use this whenever I want to turn my face wash into a scrub. I like that I can add in as much or as little I want of this so that I can either have a light exfoliation or a stronger scrub.
They are very large granules so if I do put too much it can be irritating to the skin but a little pinch like the amount I have in my hand below is perfect for me.
I love using this mostly with my foaming wash because then I get a little bubbly exfoliation action going. The scent is very natural too which I do enjoy.
Shu Uemura Essence Absolute Nourishing Protective Oil
Received in: Topbox July 2015
I’ve had this for such a long time now but the oil has held up super well. I have so many hair oils that I rotate through so it’s not a surprise to me that I still have about half a bottle of this left.
While my hair is damp I put about two pumps of this into my hair. I then will let it air dry or I’ll heat style my hair. This leaves my hair feeling really soft and less frizzy. I think this is one of the best items I’ve received in a Topbox, ever!
These were the products I wanted to share this month from my various subscription boxes.
Are there any items you’re enjoying from your subscription boxes?
Lots of Love,
Dal
I really like this series you do selecting the best from your subscription boxes!
I went shopping on Black Friday! I was at the Eaton Centre at 7am! 😆 I’m drafting a post on my haul…
Wow those Royal & Langnickle brushes look really good quality. I have been wanting to try their brushes for ages but nowhere seems to stock them? I want to play with them in person.
I think I might be tempted to EAT those exfoliating crumbles… vanilla + almond = food.

I’m excited to see what you picked up for Black Friday! I almost stopped into the stores before work but was afraid I’d never leave I’m time.
R&L are pretty good brushes and cheap too. I’ve only ever seen them online myself. I think they sell their art brushes at Michaels but that’s not a good indication of the make up brushes. I can say they are super impressive. I wish I was able to let you check out mine!
Haha! I’m sure the crumbles would be super good!

What is your favorite beauty box subscription? I have Ipsy and Sephora Play. I tried Boxy Charm but was not impressed. I love getting make up brushes in my Ipsy bags.

I really love BoxyCharm, it’s too bad you didn’t like it. I hardly got brushes in Ipsy but I used to enjoy the samples I got it in!

I’ve been getting Ipsy since they started. I’ve changed my profile a few times, and seem to be getting more brushes lately.
