This is the 4th Starlooks Starbox I have received and I absolutely love this beauty sample program.  

Their makeup formulas are very comparable to MAC's formulas.  

The lip glosses smell nice and aren't too tacky on the lips, and their eyeliners stay in place all day.  

They have some very similar dupes to MAC, but also a range of their own unique colors.  

So if you don't think spending $10 - $15 a month on deluxe samples (and many times not even deluxe samples), this is $15 well spent on full size products and quality makeup brushes.

I wanted to really use the makeup before I blogged about it, because I wasn't sure about the quality, never having heard of Starlooks before they contacted me to introduce me to their products.  But after having used their eyeliners, lip glosses, lipsticks and eyeshadows I honestly so far I have nothing but good things to say about Starlooks cosmetics.  

Pros: 
Affordable at $15 for 3 - 4 makeup items per month.  
At the very least equal in quality to MAC (with the products I have used so far).
Full size items.
Starlooks ships internationally.

Cons: 
Brand specific.  You will only receive cosmetics from the brand Starlooks. 
You cannot select the colors or items you will receive.  

****NOTE: Boxes from past months may still be available.  Visit their website for more information.

❧❦ Birchbox August 2012 - Juicy Couture ❦❧

Birchbox August 2012
Schick Hydro Silk Razor 
Whish Shave Cream in Pomegranate
Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
Stila Foundation Card
Stila Foundation Sample
A very weak Birchbox this month.  

So much for the deluxe size samples from Birchbox.  The Stila sample is not a deluxe size.  The whole box was very uninspired.  I loathe foundation samples on cards like this.  You can only barely do a color match with your skin, and you can never get a true sense of the coverage.

Probably my favorite thing in here is the Whish Shave Cream.  It is something I would buy.

The August 2012 Birchbox includes:
Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy La Fleur
Stila Stay All Day foundation swatch on a card
Whish Shave Crave cream
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream
Schick Hydro Silk Razor

Birchbox is $10 a month.  For more information, click here:
