#i’d buy lipstick to do it bc i only have glosses!!

[bittersweet-skylines]

you know that tiktok trend where it’s like “how many girls are you gonna kiss tonight?” and the response is always one thing outlandish like “a hundred!!” and then it cuts to them at the end of the night and they reveal they kissed zero people? okay so this trend with two people; they both say outlandish numbers, and then at the end of the night the first girl goes “i kissed one person” and their lipstick is all smudged up and it cuts to the second girl and she has the lipstick all over her face and she also goes “one!” and it’s just cute and i have no one to do it with so i’m just gonna think about it

IDK how many times ive told @BoxyCharm.. i post on here, on twitter, do my reviews, their quizzes both on the website & on IG stories.. but STILL i recieve red lipstick. This is the honest to GOD reason why i left #ipsy. Dude. Red lipstick doesn’t look good on everyone so please stop sending it #BoxyCharm it’s getting super old. I’m getting bolder with my reviews with each one i receive bc they push how much our feedback is SO important but then they STRAIGHT UP ignore it. I’m calling them out bc although my box is worth it’s value it’s not worth having 1/5 a product i can’t use & 2/5 eye treatments products? Come on. • • I did at least try this @DoseofColors - Liquid Matte Lipstick that i got in a hella red “Date Night” shade. Not only did it smear & get everywhere but it never drys down. 2 hrs after application i kissed my bf once; he had a mark on his cheek & my lipstick was smeared. I applied gloss over it & it not only smeared but stained my brand new gloss wand. • • I’m irritated with #boxy for sending me this. I like the company & the packaging is pretty; but even in the right shade this lipstick is not something I’d buy. The formula is messy, it transfers, it doesn’t dry down & it smears, despite using a setting spray. I will forever rare red lipsticks with 1 star even if i enjoy the brand & formula just bc boxy doesn’t listen to us. What’s sad is that ipsy fixed that issue after i left. If ipsy can fix it, why can’t they? • • Don’t tell me to trade with someone bc i tried that. #IMHO i shouldn’t have to pay to swap with someone bc boxy failed to listen to my feedback that they ask for. Also why even ask if they don’t take our reviews & preferences into consideration? #DoseOfColorsStellar #DoseofColors • • 🖤If you’d like to join boxy you can with my link➡️ https://www.boxycharm.com/refer/Roxanne-RNUVKSXG ⬅️or just reply or click the #LinkInBio • • #BoxyStellar #BoxyCharm #Boxycharmers #StellarWithBoxy #BeautyBloggers #LipstickReview #Lippies #Lipstick #RedLipstick #Influensters #Tiktokers #Follow @roxyreviewsstuff #IFB #IFollowBack #MakeupReviews #Makeuplovers #ProductReviewers #SkincareSunday #MakeupMonday #Motd #Instabeauty #Bblog #Beauty #RoxyReviews https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-fct6JX4J/?igshid=1bchqzyeh931s

my informal dumbass glossier makeup review

i finally got to test out glossier for myself today! in the flagship store :)

i was worried bc most of the recommendations i’ve seen were by people who have “glossier skin” anyways (smooth, small pores, dry to normal, not a lot of pigmentation). i have oily skin, large pores on my cheeks and forehead, deep set eyes, and residual pigmentation/uneven skin tone from acne scarring, so i didn’t know how it would look on me. also part of me really didn’t wanna like their stuff so i wouldn’t wanna spend my money lol.

their products—you put them on and you’re like ok what did it do? and then you take a step back in the mirror and you’re like oh wait...it did sumn. i mean that’s all i can say, i like it but someone else might not. as someone with pretty dull neutral undertones i like that these products brighten up my face, without hiding my face. i like that i’ll be able to put very little effort into looking good with glossier instead of having to cake on makeup to look alive lol. someone else might feel like these products are pointless but I’m riding the no makeup makeup wave rn 😎

i was most impressed with their blushes (which i was really excited to try out anyway, i ended up buying puff and storm. and i’m glad i tried them in person because i was gonna order beam but turns out i liked puff better ☺️), the stretch concealer which unfortunately is out of stock and the haloscope (moonstone i fell in love with, quartz actually surprised me bc i thought i wouldn’t like it, topaz was also nice).

the skin tint (also out of stock atm) was nice but the oily texture kinda threw me off a lil idk. i’d probably have to use it together with the wowder. i forgot to try the wowder on my face but it looked nice on my hand when i applied it over the skin tint, and also i’d probably like it anyways bc I’m a greasy bitch lol. the generation g lipsticks weren’t very impressive sadly, but i only sampled a small amount since you can’t just smear the lipstick on in the store lol. still i mean... i have other lip products that give me the effect i want. i didn’t try the lash slick but i wanted to so bad because i love all things mascara (i had on mascara already and wasn’t about to struggle taking layers of it off in the store). didn’t try the boy brow because i was wearing eyebrow makeup (and frankly i wasn’t sure if i’d like it or if it would work for me, and i wasn’t gonna take the risk of removing my nice eyebrow makeup 😬).

didn’t try the lidstar bc i knew i wouldn’t like it. oh and the clout gloss was just a basic lip gloss. nothing special except for the pink aesthetic.

i was actually impressed by the balm dot com for the most part. i thought it was just gonna be overpriced vaseline but it’s a slightly better consistency and doesn’t have that petrolatum smell to it. the birthday cake one had a yummy ass smell and was glittery and ugh I’m so mad i liked it so much lol because it’s out of stock and probably won’t be back who knows :(. the cherry one also had a nice smell and tint. the rose one was ok, didn’t smell like i imagined it would, sadly. those were the only ones i was interested in really.

the you perfume wasn’t anything special but then again i prefer fruity, sweet fragrances. the perfume is a fresh, clean airy fragrance. what really put me off tho was the strong alcohol scent that lingered even after the initial spritz.

and yeah that’s it. i only tried the makeup, balms, and perfume because that’s all i was interested in. i got a free sample of the milk jelly cleanser with my purchase, which i’ll try tonight, but i wasn’t interested in the skincare tbh. i have stuff that works for me 🤷🏾‍♀️

Gimmie bros' reacting to mc getting all dolled up bc she s done with all her duties ( f i nall y) and goes on a date (special mention to possesive rei bc im thirsty i mean what) please?

There is so much rei love and i’m so happy too bc i enjoy him so much, i want his route now honestly!

But yeah, here we go ;)

Chiaki

Probably bought you one of the dresses or outfits that you’re deciding to wear that night

“I can’t have the woman that I’m with look trashy next to me.”

Excuse me what?????????????

Before you get to reply though, he’s urging you to finish your duties so you can have fun wink wonk

but you go to put on your makeup with your smokey eye and intense shadow and stuff and pretty yourself up with jewelry that he’s bought you

but when you come out of your room, he’s like

hot damn

He knew you were beautiful, but like wow he’s just awestruck by your existence

You know he’s just admiring you all night and undressing you with his eyes honestly

Toma

he didn’t really notice at first bc

fuck this guy is always constantly drowning himself in his work

and while he didn’t say much verbally, you can see in his eyes and his gentle loving touches throughout the night how much he admired your beauty and hard work and effort into dressing up to go out with him

and after a long night of dinner and heels your ankles and feet are just in so much pain fuck

and he notices when you get home, since you braved the whole time you were out

While you’re showering to settle down for the night he’s the one that makes you some tea and prepares some snacks for you guys to indulge in

and he’s constantly asking and worrying about you because he can see the tiredness in your face and in the way you carry yourself before pulling you into soft and loving carresses 

Shizuka

He’d probably be one to shower you with jewelry or something

Also would’ve been super critical of your makeup and how you did it and how it set because he’s a model of course he knows something about his makeup

but he knew that you were going to be beautiful regardless

so he’s not confused or awestruck or anything when you walk up with the fanciest updo and elegant makeup look you could manage yourself, he’s just like

“You’re just the way I’d imagine you to be.”

blush blush blush tbh

He’d take you somewhere quiet and prob feel you up under that dress yanno ;)

proooooobably would feel bad for ruining the effort that you put in? 

yanno, smeared mascara, messed up dark lipstick...

but he’d be walking around so smug with you for the rest of the night

Minami

okay so lbr he would totally

TOTALLY

doll you up and buy you all the dresses and outfits and cute things you he wanted

“I gotta make everyone jealous of my precious toy ~” he’s joking of course he loves you

but he’s just laughing at your frustrated reaction after buying them

he figured you’d be cute in them but to actually see you in them with makeup that you put on and that cute lip gloss that he loves you wearing, he’s just...

“Whoa.”

his jaw visibly drops before slinking an arm around your waist and pulling you close to him

“You know we’re just going to an arcade right? You didn’t have to come out looking like a princess!”

then proceedes to tease you about your makeup and how next time he’ll hire someone to give you make up lessons >_>

Mei

he doesn’t really care what you look like

okay like he’s just like happy and enjoys you how you are regardless if you ‘doll yourself up’ or if you’re just makeup-less

probably prefers you without makeup anyway lol he’s a simple man

but when there’s a banquet for a bunch of high profile celebrities and musicians he takes you with him ofc

and he’s in a fancy tux with his hair swept so nicely, waiting for you patiently while you finish your makeup

(please I NEED TO CONCENTRATE AND I CAN’T WHEN YOU’RE STARING AT ME THE WHOLE TIME?!) *kicks him out of the room*

but when you do come out in a stunning dark burgundy ballroom gown his eyes widen

and you can see as he studies every inch of your face

from your simple waterfall braid with loose and lazy curl hairstyle,

to colors to accentuate your dress he’s just beaming the whole night bc got damn look at u

Rei

He loves taking you out because he knows other people look, and he loves showing other people that you’re his

Loves you with and without make up and doesn’t quiet understand the pain women you go through because you wanted to look nice for him

But for your date to the art exhibit,  you do your best to remain casual yet classy, donning one of the scarves and sweaters he owned bc fuck he loved seeing you in his clothes

When you emerge from your room with a neutral yet glowing look, a very small smile stretches across his lips as he crosses the distance to press kisses to yours

“Shall I mess up your hard work now, or later in public?”

He has fiendish little grin and you’re pressing against his chess with faux protest  but he keeps you locked in his arms

“No, it will be later. I know all the work that you’ve put into this, and I want to be the only one to experience all of you.”

DAY 7: Hard Candy All Glossed Up Hydrating Glossy Lip Stain, “Cupcake”

THIS PROJECT IS CALLED ALL MY LIPSTICKS. It’s like All My Movies except I wear all of the lipsticks/balms/glosses I own and report back to you on their prices, attributes, pros and cons. It’s basically an excuse for me to wear makeup and take selfies for PURPOSES OF RESEARCH.

~I RETURN~

So, it’s been about a week since my last one of these, and that’s on me bc, frankly, I got distracted and didn’t have time to take pics due to starting my new work schedule at my *brand new* job :D 

So my slacking off is actually a good thing.

Y’all remember when I brought up that specific color of Maybelline Baby Lips that I didn’t like and talked about how it was the WORST and NEVER BUY IT? Well, the face crayon I wore today was worse. 

This item here, that I wear so fetchingly as I leave for work, is from your local Wal-Mart’s Hard Candy section of the makeup aisle, and while I do own some Hard Candy products I’d say were worth the dough, this was the worst $5 I think I’ve ever spent on makeup. 

It says “hydrating,” right? It’s supposed to be a gloss/stain, basically colorful lip balm. It was 23 degrees out today, I needed a product that could double as color and protection. This bitch did NOT protect. Even when I put it on, the color went on unevenly (and wasn’t my color anyway; clashes with my natural lip color and I’m never sure if pinks work on me? anyhow), and seemed to be catching in any parts of my lips that weren’t smooth; i.e. they should’ve been exfoliated better but you know what? I live in Northwest PA, the weather’s unpredictable, it’s all I can do to put on lip balm every day and hope for the best. So I usually purchase lipsticks that can provide some kind of protection.

By the time I got to work, my lips were well and truly chapped, so I counteracted by drinking a ton of water throughout my shift. All this did was wipe every last trace of product off my lips and onto the bottle, because this stuff stays on like - well, I can’t think what it stays on like, because that’s a thing I can assure you it does NOT do. 

In conclusion: if you like the colors of this product, buy the dupes from another brand.

This @iconic.london lip plumping gloss is super clear on me. Despite its pink shade..there is no color at all. I am so irritated and annoyed at @boxycharm for sending me lipgloss every month. 1. I hate lipgloss and never buy it 2. They typically dry my lips out when worn solo. I use them only as a top coat but i don’t always enjoy a glossy look and i have tons of glosses now. Also i have no 12 year old around to give it to. • • I’ve requested numerous times not to receive gloss and i don’t pick gloss on my preferences or any instagram or Boxycharm dot com surveys. So why do they still send me gloss? I have no idea. I feel like they shove it down our throats bc they have an agreement to the brands or something. Either way I’m getting hella annoyed with it. 😒 • • This @iconic.london gloss doesn’t even plump like it claims too. I feel a slight tingle but it does nothing. It did nothing to my lips each time i used it except make my lipstick smear, capture any and every strand of hair, and leave my lips glossy which i don’t enjoy to be honest. #iconiclondon is probably a good brand but boxy keeps sending me glosses and that’s getting old. I’d like to try something other than a sticky gloss boxy, please. #BoxycharmSuggestion • • #BoxyAfterDark #IconicAfterDark #NewBeauty #MakeupReviews #BoxyReviews #ProductReviewers #MakeupReviewers IFB #FollowFriday #FollowMe @RoxyReviewsStuff #IFollowback #TeamFollowback #Instabeauty #Influensters #Motd #BoxyCharm #Boxycharmers #BeautyBloggers #MakeupReviews #ProductReviewers #Skincare #SkincareLovers #SkincareSunday #MakeupMonday #Makeuplovers #Beauty #TextureTuesday #RoxyReviews https://www.instagram.com/p/B33CyO6J2Fu/?igshid=howkj2kdhcoe
