LookFantastic Beauty Box January 2017 Review, Unboxing

LookFantastic Beauty Box January 2017 Review, Unboxing

Vintage Cosmetic Company Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, January 19, 2017

The first LookFantastic Beauty Box of the year is here. It is themed the Beauty Revolution Edition, meant to overhaul our routine and help make new beauty discoveries. You would expect this box to be skincare-centric, but three of the products are actually makeup this time!
I love the positive design of the box itself. Lots of hope for the new year. The box comes with the January edition of the Elle UK magazine, and the regular beauty-box magazine, which is now glossy and contains breakfast recipe ideas and lifestyle articles, apart from more on beauty products.

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2017 Review, Unboxing, Contents

Beautylish Lucky Bag 2017 Review, Unboxing, Contents

Wayne Goss Cosmetopia Digest   Saturday, January 14, 2017

Meet the world's best beauty box. It comes out only once a year, on Boxing Day. I bought last year's Beautylish Lucky Bag, which you can see here, and fell in love with the concept.
Lucky Bags are popular in Japan around the New Year time - businesses distribute them, believing they will bring good luck to the recipients.
There is no actual bag - the contents of the Beautylish Lucky Bag come in a regular box with special wrapping paper. The owl, which Beautylish incorporates in the wrapping paper each year, is said to bring luck. Nils, who co-founded Beautylish, tells his staff to make each bag better than the previous years'.
The Lucky Bag costs $75, and international customers need to pay shipping as well. You cannot combine orders with the Lucky Bag. But the contents are worth a lot more - my own bag contains products worth a whopping $194, as you can see below. 
Spoiler: There are NO eyeshadows in my Lucky Bag!

Why You Need The Brush Guard For Your Makeup Brushes

Why You Need The Brush Guard For Your Makeup Brushes

Wayne Goss Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, October 10, 2016

Last year, I invested in some Wayne Goss, Koyudo, Hakuhodo and Chikuhodo makeup brushes - see here for the Wayne Goss brushes and my thoughts on them. All of these are handcrafted in Kumano, Japan, and the bristles, made of natural goat or squirrel hair, is never cut at the tips, so the brushes are the softest and most delicate.
Being the rough handler and klutz that I am, I knew it was only a matter of time before I ended up mutilating the bristles. After all, we are talking about someone who once stepped on a glass nail file.
The Brush Guard protects your makeup brushes from rough handling, travel, dust, accidents and even the rigours of washing and drying. It keeps the bristles even and in shape.
