If you’re like me, you drop your makeup case on the floor by accident all the time, resulting in broken caps and shattered makeup.
Here’s a simple trick to fixing shattered pressed powder (be it eyeshadow, blush or foundation).

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder
Name: HD Microfinish Powder
Brand: Make Up For Ever
Price: C$35 or C$18 (to go size)
Purchased from: Sephora
Having a shine-free face is one of my main concerns in daily life and also in cosplay. I hate looking oily (who doesn’t) and having shiny spots on your t-zone can ruin any good cosplay photo. The HD Microfinish Powder from Make Up For Ever has been keeping my skin matte since I started using it a few months ago and I love it. It makes my skin look like satin! I also always apply a generous amount of it on my face and neck when I cosplay. That’s why I was horrified when I came across pictures of celebrities with awful cases of makeup malfunction which were attributed to this product.
Lip-Ink “Guaranteed Smearproof Kit” Lipstick
Finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel. My quest for a lipstick that works with my sensitive lips is over!! (Probably. For now.)
Lip-Ink is a 3 steps system. I ordered the trial kit in Hot Pink, which is quite generous with the lipstick but not so much with the moisturizer and primer/cleaner.
Luxe Box May and June Editions
I recently received my second Luxe Box, so here’s my overdue review of the May and June editions. Like I mentioned in my Glossybox entry back in May, I unsubscribed from that service and switched to Luxe Box instead. I disliked about Glossybox that what I received was pharmacy products, so I didn’t feel very excited about getting my monthly package in the mail. Fortunately, Luxe Box is a mix of low and mid range products so it’s more what I was expecting.
Anyway, I ended up unsubscribing after the June edition, because they will now be sending a bigger box every 3 months instead of being a monthly thing. To me, getting something in the mail every month was part of the excitement so I wasn’t too happy about that change. Hopefully, I won’t have to wait much longer before I can get the Top Box (Yes, I’m trying another one!)
April Glossybox
Here’s a quick Glossybox review in pictures! I wanted to give beauty boxes a try and since Glossybox was the only one without a waiting list, I ended up subscribing to that one. For a $15 monthly fee, you get 5 beauty product samples in the mail to try. The samples are either a full sized product or at least a very acceptable size. This is what I received in my April box:
Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer
Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara
Elizabeth Grant Madagascar Vanilla Shower Gel
Wella Brilliance Conditioner for fine to normal colored hair
Wella Brilliance Treatment for fine to normal colored hair
