I love this month's box! It's so awesome! (Pic heavy!)

Animal prints? OH YES!





This box's coloration and theme are so fab, I really love it. I'm a little sad that the turquoise liner wasn't included but even so, the box rocks!



This is the pigment luster in Cinnamon Toss, it's GORGEOUS, so shimmery and easy to work with. If you want that straight line, it stays pigmented and tight without much fallout, but if you want to blend it, it blends easily and smoothly!



Here's the cream blush in Emphasize. It's so interesting! It looks very dark brick red in the pan, but when you swipe it, it can either go into a brownish tint, a slightly bittersweet tint or just flush. It's soft, spreads nicely and doesn't stain harshly!

Here's what I came up with for this box! -







I used the brow bar for my eyebrows AND my eyes (all four shades) and wet the black shade and used it for the eyeliner. Then I patted the pigment luster on top of that. I used the cream blush for both my cheeks and lips!

Can I just say I'm very madly in love with my teensy weensy zebra print nail file? It's the cutest nail accessory EVER!

It looks amazing on you, actually!


I agree! Gorgeous!

You look amaaaaazing! The blush seems to be especially flattering for us pale redhead-type people...so excited! This is the longest my box has ever taken to get to me and I am itching to get my hands on everything! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
 
Not related to May but thought I'd share. My concealer samples arrived last week. 2 were close (very close) and the third was perfect. My usual is 100% Pure in white peach.

It seriously looks fantastic on you! It's probably out of your comfort zone. It's quite shocking in the pan but so pretty on!

Thanks, all, it grew on me as the day went by. I will keep playing with it and see how I like it.  I have seen cream blush applied by hand, a brush, or a sponge.  I have tried all, but I have never settled on a way it works best. Sometimes it seems to be a combination.  How do most of you like to apply your cream blush and what has worked the best for you?

I love your look, super creative with all the items in the box!  When I saw the brow colors, I thought they would look nice a shadows, but wasn't sure.  They turned out beautiful on you!  I also loved the little file, it is adorable and it matched the box, too cute!

I actually think it looks gorgeous. I have the same skin tone and hair/eye color so I was a bit unsure about it at the beginning as well.

This was such a fun box to work with....the minute I opened it, I thought, OOOooo, I get to pull out my crimper! LOL

Michaela - TUESDAY, I'll bet it'll get to you tomorrow! I agree, when the blush is blended into a flushed red tone on the cheeks, it is very flattering! You'll love it!

 
I finally swatched my Mystery Items!

I received two lipsticks, Venus - a frosty pink and Euphoria - a matte pink mocha

and a lip liner, Brick - well...a brick red...fairly self-explanatory lol 



Euphoria (left), Venus (center), Brick (squiggly and double thick line)

I'm so madly in love with the lipsticks, they're so creamy, smooth and such BEAUTIFUL colors!

The blush looks really pretty on you, it gives you a natural glow.

It's pretty light. It goes on my lips (which are a bit dark) as a purple-ish pink.

Swatches left to right: lip line, lipstick, lip gloss.
Those are really pretty colors, it look great on you.

As always great review, you look amazing! I really like how the blush looks as a lipstick.

My box showed up today, and as expected, I love everything! I'm especially excited about the brow shader set, because I am horrible and I completely neglect my brows, I barely even shape them, so this will be fun to play with! 

 
I've been using the whole box for days and I really enjoy everything! Now I'm beyond excited because I ordered an April box and its out for delivery!!!!

 
I have a question, I am really interested in Starlooks and I really want to try it but I am trying to save money. My birthday is in July so I will probably get a lot of money then, so I was planning on subscribing for July and seeing how I like it. But, you can't get a birthday box on your first month right? Sorry maybe that is a stupid question I just really loved that red lipstick and lip liner.
