Rodial Cosmetics Glamlash Mascara XXL in Black Velvet, 13 mL - Retail Value $28

Let me just preface this by saying if you don’t live in a humid climate, you might really like this mascara. In South Louisiana, however, this mascara was a massive fail. While I liked the definition and lift this gave some of my individual lashes, it also got spidery real fast. The ultimate offense, though, is how it got all over my face- photos below. Unfortunately, that’s a deal-breaker for me, so to this mascara, I say thank u, next. 

Skin Chemists Rose Illuminating Peel Off Mask, 1.7 oz - Retail Value $43

I’m highly skeptical of peel-off masks, so before I use them on my face I patch test them somewhere else on my body. While this was pretty, with a shimmering light pink color, it wasn’t very substantial in terms of performance. I found that even a thin layer took a really long time to dry, and it didn’t peel off clean. Considering the second ingredient is denatured alcohol, the third is polyvinyl alcohol, and how it performed on the patch test, this isn’t a good fit for my sensitive skin. 

Pur Cosmetics Velvet Matte Lipstick in Innocent, 0.07 oz - Retail Value $18

Subscribers could have received this lipstick or a lip gloss from Pur Cosmetics, and I’m happy with my variation because matte lipstick is my jam. Once applied, this is a much darker nude than what the color looks like in the tube, and it is a true matte that is a bit drying to my lips (I always make sure to do some extra nourishing lip masks before applying matte lipsticks to combat this exact issue).

Maskeraide Beauty Sweet Retreat Mini Sheet Masks - Retail Value $5

This mask comes with 12 circles of sheet mask material in non-resealable packaging. 12 mini masks equal a lot of surface area for one person to use at one time, so I wish this had a ziplock mechanism to close back up. I have friends that know if they’re coming over, we are doing some sort of skincare, and this mask is perfect that. Other than my issues with the packaging, this is a nice boost of hydration and fun for my skin (and my friends' skin, too).

Laroc Cosmetics Chocolate Box Palette - Retail Value $44.17 (on sale for $31.54)

I wanted to love this palette because it contains some gorgeous colors, but ultimately this was a miss for me. Most (maybe all) of the mattes were chalky and lacked in pigment, and while the shimmers were very pretty with the finger swatches, they were difficult to work with on my actual eyelids. I will say the highlighters were very lovely, and some of the shimmers in this palette were very unique.

Here are the swatches of the eyeshadows!

Here are the two highlighters and the liquid lipstick swatched

And here are my favorite colors from the palette. I love the duo-chrome shift in the shades Crunch, Champagne Truffle, and Peanut Brittle. 

Here is the look I put together. I was going for garden party vibes even though I was going to a socially-distanced BBQ, so I stuck with the eyeshadow Crunch all over my lid with the shade Chocolate Drop lightly lining my upper lash line. I finished the look with the highlighter shade Bittersweet on the high points of my face, plus the mascara, and the lip gloss. 

Here is my face about an hour into the BBQ. Oof.

Verdict: Originally, I was excited about this box, but looking back I realize this was almost entirely made up of misses for me. While I appreciate the inclusion of skincare in the box, I would like to see a brand other than Skin Chemists (this is the second box in a row that brand has been included). I also think more discernment could be used in picking a palette that performs better- the one included in this month's box was incredibly hard to work with. Value-wise, everything in this box adds up to $138.17
