Starlooks Starbox, January 2013

Awesome sauce


I just received the best Starlooks Starbox to date.  It had everything I had been hoping for and more!  I have an unboxing video up - this month was particularly exciting for me because I managed not to cheat and find out what I was getting on line ahead of time.


This months box included 4 full size products, and one very special extra:


See that there blush?  It is crazy fantastic.  Buttery, pigmented and a shade that goes perfectly with everything else in the box.  I am already testing it, and so far the performance is top notch.  It is also the most prettily packaged item I have ever gotten from Starlooks.

Eyeliner #1 is a nice, smooth deep brown.  This applies creamily and I am not seeing any transference or smudging so far.

Eyeliner #2 is an unbelievable  beautiful shimmery green.  I have it smudged out all over my lid, and I have combined it with a matte brown from the November eyeshadow pallet in the crease.  It is a perfect match.

I used the included soft small dome fluff brush in 858 to apply some of the matte brown shadow along my bottom lash line for extra definition, as I do not usually use liner under my eyes.

As an extra surprise, a lovely green bracelet from Abby Rose Designs was included in the box.  It caught me completely off guard.  It is such a nice touch, and I will for sure be checking out her etsy shop. 

Swatches!


Here is a terrible photo of the finished look...  All photos taken of me are out of focus and poorly lit due to a serious and incurable Sasquatch Curse (ever seen a clear, well lit photo of a Sasquatch?).  It's a long story, but never tick one of those things off.  They are a bitter, bitter species. 



It is much better in person, and the green really pops.  I really like using the eyeliner as an eyeshadow, and wanted to share.

This Starbox is fantastic, and a steal at $15 (plus $2 shipping in the US).  If you are interested in checking them out you can purchase past Starboxes for $25.  It's a great way to see what they have to offer before jumping into the program.  Even at $25, the boxes are a fantastic deal.  Did you receive a Starbox this month?  What did you think of it?

  1. Great video! The Pantone color if the year is indeed green (yay for me!!) and specifically Emerald Green, which would explain the emerald bracelet :)

    Um....::steals green eyeliner::
