Boxycharm has always been one of the subscriptions boxes that interested me. 5 full-size products for 21$, in Canada it will run you about 35$ including the shipping and exchange. The box is always worth more than you pay and I was excited to get my March box. I tried it a while ago but chose not to stay subscribed at the time. Lately, I feel like the boxes have been really good and wanted to try it again.

Concealer is one of those products that I always wear if I'm doing a no makeup look or a full face of makeup- I need concealer. I'm willing to spend the money on a higher end concealer, but finding an affordable option is always welcoming. Recently, I picked up the L'Oreal Infallible Full Wear Concealer and I was so shocked with the results. When applying concealer, I need it to cover my dark circles or layer with a colour corrector and not give me too much creasing. I work full time, and I have no time for touching up my makeup during the day. I do set my concealer otherwise creasing will be worst, it's normal.

The larger Benefit blush palettes have been around for a while, but they recently released mini versions which were more appealing to me. The large blush palettes always seemed bulky and pretty high priced. In Canada it sells for 80$ and the larger cardboard is what I don't like about the palettes. These mini versions cost 40$ and come in a much sleeker cardboard packaging. I decided to pick up the bronze mini palette because it fits into an "all in one category" for me. I thought all three products would work on my fair skin and it would help speed up my morning routine. The bronze palette has Gold Rush, Cookie, and Hoola bronzer. There is also a pink version which has Galifornia, Tickle, and Dandelion which are sold as individuals. I would like to get that version as well.

The L'Oreal Infallible 24H Fresh Wear is one of the newest foundations to come to the drugstore and I've heard so many positive reviews that I really wanted to give it a try myself. This foundation claims to be medium to full coverage, breathable and lightweight. I will say I was surprised by how thin the texture was and the coverage that I received with a sponge. It was medium coverage right away, and yes it builds up nicely. The finish is very natural, and I do agree with their "second skin" claim. Additionally, the formula has oil absorbers to resist swear, water and transfer. I really don't like when foundations transfer so that was a nice bonus. This foundation is good for all skin types and comes in 30 shades.

It's been a few months since I picked up a Morphe palette. The last palettes I purchased from Morphe was from their holiday collection. The blues and purples of this palette really drew me in, this palette was exclusively sold at Ulta and due to customs and exchange, I didn't purchase it. When Sephora Canada released it, I was able to pick it up in store.

As a makeup wearer, I really don't like the negative stereotypical responses that I hear about wearing makeup. We've all seen these meme's pop up. If you choose to wear makeup that's your choice; if you don't that's yours as well. I don't believe in uplifting yourself while putting others down. Women are not wearing makeup for attention, we're not wearing makeup because we're being deceitful, and we're not wearing it for men. Makeup is a form of expression, a form of art, it's a form of self-care and there's nothing wrong with it. The beauty industry is huge and many influencers have been able to create their own businesses because of makeup. That's amazing! The roundup of women wearing makeup is so diverse that you cannot put the makeup wearers into a "one size fits all" box. Women of all ages are wearing makeup and the ability to learn about applying makeup is so much easier to obtain in today's social media driven world. Youtube and blogging have taught me so much.

The Beauty Glazed 9 pan palettes really caught my attention when Tammi Clarke on Youtube compared the Beauty Glazed to the Huda Beauty 9 pan palettes. They have similar concepts, and packaging but Beauty Glazed is not an exact match up in terms of colour. They've give their own take on these colour stories and named them after planets. The Mars palette seemed like it would have colours that I would love. I thought for 6$ including shipping I would give it a try too. I really didn't expect to like this palette but once I swatched it, I couldn't wait to try it out.

Maybelline Snapscara is a fairly new mascara at the drugstore. It claims to be "on and off in a snap." The formula for the Snapscara is wax free and idea for sensitive eyes. The formula allows you to easily remove the mascara with a cotton pad and warm water only and no rubbing on the eyes. Sounds great, right? Well as for removing the mascara I did find it very easy to remove and didn't have residue left over in the morning. Some mascaras are so hard to remove that you feel like you're damaging your lashes in the process.
