Princess Diaries Infinity Pot Liner

As cool-toned pink eyeliner it may initially seem unusual, but I tried it out beneath my lower lash line and it definitely added some drama to my look.  I would stick to using this in the evenings, though.

Princess Diaries Swatch 

HD Fluid Blush in Barbie

This blush has a thick formula, and it is highly pigmented.  A little goes a long way, but it will stay all day.

Starlooks Pink Oasis Lip Gloss

For a sheen of pinky, purple sparkle!  I am a big fan of Starlooks lip glosses, and I use them more than any other brand.

Tipsy Lip Liner

Tipsy is an intense, deeply pigmented coral pink.  I think less is more, and I would prefer to blend it with some other lipsticks to tone down the intensity a little.  It's a perfect color for spring though, and I can imagine wearing this on my lips, while wearing OPI's Cajun Shrimp on my tips!

The November Starlooks Starbox

The pre-order for the December box is over for $15. They have begun to ship them already and now they are $25 for the $99 value palette. 

The Starlooks Starbox

I'm absolutely bowled over by Starlooks.  It's a purely cosmetic box - no little foils of teeny face creams, food stuffs and other nick-knacks.  Just makeup that is good quality that you can take straight out of the box and wear with confidence!

Starlooks Eyeshadow Palette

I absolutely loved the neutral theme of the November box.  The perfect mix of shimmer and matte, in my favorite hues.

Starlooks Nude Lipstick

The Starlooks Nude lipstick reminded me of MAC's Creme d'Nude, but it is a lot more sheer.

Starlooks Starbox Beauty Review

A few months ago I was contacted by a company called Starlooks who offered to send me a few of their new beauty program boxes called Starbox for a potential review.  Starbox is available for $15 (including shipping).  Each box contains 3 - 4 full size makeup/beauty products.

The first box I received was the May 2012 Starbox, which contained three lip glosses.  I thought that this was strange of them to send 3 of the same items.  What if someone doesn't wear lipgloss?  I'm not that into lip gloss in general.  I use it mostly in the evenings or on weekends.  But apparently they had a theme going that month and they don't usually send out multiples of the same product in one box unless there is a special theme going on.

They are undoubtedly beautiful lipglosses that gleam in the sun.

I found the formula to be just right - not too sticky, yet tacky enough.  These glosses smell pleasant (unlike some of the much more famous brands!), and they last as long as, well, a lipgloss can last.  I gave two tubes of Cupid's Charm and Pink Diva to my sister, and I kept Modest for myself.  She is a lipgloss aficionado who has sampled countless brands, yet she loved these glosses.  I wore Modest in several of my videos on YouTube because it's so pretty.

Starlooks Starbox June 2012

June's Starbox included a fabulous mix of products - and eyeliner, eye pencil, eye shadow and a makeup brush.

Starlooks includes an applicator...

and a mirror!

L - Starlooks Caricature - R - MAC Vex

The first thing I noticed about the eyeshadow Caricature was that it was very familiar.  Then I realized that it reminded me of Vex by MAC.  I pulled Vex out of my MAC palette, and there it was...

I contacted Starlooks about the similarities and they did confirm that they have some colors that are similar to MAC's eyeshadows, in addition to their own colors.  The difference is that Vex is slightly more shimmery than Caricature.  The quality of Caricature is very comparable to Vex.  Not to mention Caricature is only $11 if purchased separately, versus $15 for Vex.

813 Small Precision

The box included their 813 Small Precision brush which is great for blending color in your crease.  This brush alone retails for $15 on the Starlooks website.

I've worn this eyeliner constantly since I first got it, but the real test was when I wore it to New York City on a terribly hot and humid day.  But the liner stayed on all day.  It also has a very pointy tip for a perfectly cat eye flick.

Diamond Line Eye Pencil in Myth

Diamond Line Eye Pencil in Myth

The eye pencil is stunning.  It has a softer formula - not at all dry, and it has a fabulous shimmery sheen that is subtle enough to wear even in my conservative office.  

Overall, I was definitely impressed by Starlooks products.  They have worked with a chemist who used to work for MAC years ago, and they believe that they have improved upon some of MAC's formulas.  That's why they compare themselves to MAC in terms of quality.  These products are undoubtedly good quality, and if you are bored with the teeny samples and unsatisfactory products you get in beauty sample boxes, this is definitely a brand to consider.

The Starlooks Starbox is most probably most comparable to Allure Magazine's Sample Society Box in terms of the quality of products and the price.
