Juvia’s Place Mini Nubian palette review and swatches

Juvia’s Place mini Nubian palette

This came in my December Allure box and at first I was really excited about it.

Here are my swatches of it:

  • As you can see this palette is small and excellent for travel, the shades are pigmented and beautifully easy to blend and wear.
  • The warm shades are very flattering with my brown eyes.
  • It has a great mixture of shimmers and mattes.
  • ❌My beef with this beautiful little palette is that it doesn’t include a cream or ivory matte, which I always use to blend the very outside of my edges and give my brow bone a natural everyday highlight.
  • If you have a more medium or dark skintone, then I think this palette would be perfectly well rounded for you!

I still use it at home and I’m glad I have it, but I wish it was more complete to serve the purpose of a travel palette.

Here are my swatches:

Did you get this palette too, or do you have the big version of it? Do you miss a light matte in it too?
I hope you all have a great Friday! What are your weekend plans? Mine is catching up on house chores!

ALLURE BEAUTY BOX FEBRUARY 2019

ALLURE BEAUTY BOX FEBRUARY 2019

Contents:

  • Model Co Metallic Eyeshadow Trio in “Mykonos”
  • Moda Brush Triad Eye Brush
  • The Brow Gal Eyebrow Gel in “Brown 02”
  • Wander Beauty Mile High Club mascara
  • Mamonde Flower Lab Essence Mask – Rose
  • Mally Beauty High Shine Liquid Lipstick in “Orchid”
  • Mamonde Oil to Foam cleaner (forgot to include in photo! ?)

This month’s Allure box seems pretty good to me! Once again absolutely worth the $10 and including products I actually like and will use!

  • The BrowGal instatint is actually my current favourite eyebrow gel! I’ve been using it since I got one in my free Summer’s Eve Boxycharm and I absolutely love it. I was actually going to be repurchasing this, so I’m really happy it came in my Allure box! It volumizes and fixes in place my brow hairs like no other, including my previous favourite which was Benefit Gimme Brow.
  • The Mally liquid lipstick looks pretty, although I have other lipsticks in this shade and didn’t find them flattering on me (too pale/grey of an undertone) so I think I will rehome this.
  • The Moda brush is actually soft and hasn’t shed yet, and the angle of the bristles make it great for carefully shading the crease of my hooded eyes!
  • The Wander mascara I haven’t opened yet because I have too many open mascaras at the moment and don’t want them to dry out, but I’m really excited to try it because I know lots of people love their mascaras!
  • The Mamonde Oil to Foam cleanser works well, and although it’s not mind blowing or specially amazing, it’s still pleasant to use and cleans my face.
  • The Rose mask I haven’t used yet because I’m considering sending it to my Australian bestie @kimkroft (trollolol jk, she has a horrible allergy to rose skincare, and I always joke about it – But it really sucks for all the people who have allergies to this and get stuck with Rose products in their beauty boxes ?) Thankfully I’m not allergic so I’m looking forward to trying this.

What do you think of this month? Do you like any of these products?
?Hope you’re all having a great Monday! ?

ALLURE BEAUTY BOX JANUARY 2019

This box arrived quite late but I was able to take a quick photo of it before I left for the airport on Wednesday.

It has a pretty good assortment of things I know I’ll enjoy, except for the shade of the nail polish, because I’m not really a red nails kind of girl. I still think for $10 this box was a good value and I’m really looking forward to using especially the Sunday Riley goodies when I get back to the US in 2 weeks.

Contents:

  • Ouai Hair and Body Scrub – 30 ml
  • Doucce Relentless Matte Lip Crayon in “Winterberry”
  • Mally Beauty Eyeshadow Stick in “Burnished Bronze”
  • Sunday Riley A+ High Dose Retinoid Serum – 8 ml
  • Sunday Riley C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil – 15 ml
  • Beautyblender Micro.Mini (2 units)
  • NCLA Nail Polish

Have you tried these products before? What do you think about them?
?I hope you’re all having a great weekend wherever you are! My trip in Europe has been full of family and good food so far!

ALLURE BEAUTY BOX NOVEMBER 2018

A bit late, but here’s my November Allure Beauty Box

Are you overwhelmed by all the amazing sales going on yet? I know I am… Since this box included all masks, maybe I need to just put one on and relax while I do my online shopping tonight ?

Contents:
  • LAPCOS – Pearl Brightening metallic sheet mask
  • GLOW RECIPE – Watermelon Glow jelly sheet mask
  • KOCOSTAR – Rose lip mask
  • GLAMGLOW – Supermud clearing treatment
  • PATCHOLOGY – Flashpatch Rejuvenating eye gels
  • STARSKIN – Exfoliating Foot Mask socks
  • INVISIBOBBLE – Hair Ring

I haven’t used anything in my box yet but I have previously used the Glamglow Supermud and I enjoyed it even though I don’t get acne or breakouts, it still left my skin feeling clean and radiant.
I’m looking forward to using everything else over time, as I don’t mask more often than once every week or 2.

Have you used any of these products? What are your favourites?

ALLURE BEAUTY BOX OCTOBER 2018

My October ❤️Allure❤️ Beauty Box arrived while I was on vacation!

I am legitimately thrilled with this box for the price of $10. I enjoy Sunday Riley products and when I found out they’d be in this box I immediately resubscribed to this box!
Here are the contents:

1. SUNDAY RILEY – Ceramic Slip cleanser (30ml)
2. SUNDAY RILEY – Good Genes lactic acid treatment (5ml)
3. HOURGLASS – Caution Extreme Lash mascara (3.5g)
4. FIRST AID BEAUTY – Ultra Repair cream (28.3g)
5. CAUDALIE – Vinopure Skin Perfecting serum (10ml)
6. BKR PARIS – Water balm (2g)
7. KENRA – Dry Oil Control spray (34g)
8. WANDER BEAUTY – Baggage Claim Gold eye masks (1 pair)
9. GALEXIE GLISTER – Glitter Gel in “NY Mornings” (15g)

I think I got a great value and so many items that I’m really excited to use this month!

The only items I already owned from this box are the @firstaidbeauty Ultra Repair Cream and the @sundayriley Lactic Acid treatment, however I love both of those so I’m thrilled to have more of them! The @wander_beauty seem interesting and I’m looking forward to using them because I have almost no items from this brand but I’m interested in trying more. The @hourglasscosmetics Mascara is something has really good reviews and I’m also happy to be trying it because I love what little I’ve used from their brand. The only item I’ll need to figure out how to use is the gel glitter from @galexieglisterbecause I’m not very good at glitter usage.
❔What do you think about this month’s Allure Beauty Box? Did you get one too? ?

My July 2018 Allure Beauty Box

by mybeautyaddictions
written by mybeautyaddictions

My July 2018 Allure Beauty Box arrived yesterday!
Honestly I’m really happy that I got this much value for just $10! This is a really good box in my opinion. Here’s the list of contents:

  • 1. Sunday Riley – Luna Sleeping Night Oil 7.5 ml
  • 2. Organic Pharmacy – Antioxidant lip balm
  • 3. Doucce – Precision Eyeliner in “Blue”
  • 4. OUAI – Leave In Conditioner 25 ml
  • 5. Feel Beauty – Harmony Rose Petal facial mask
  • 6. Derma E – Sun Protection Mineral Powder SPF 30
  • 7. Make Up Forever – Artist Everywhere pencil in Red
  • 8. Olay – Whips moisturizer mini

Bonus: $20 promo code to Bauble Bar ?I am really excited to try the Sunday Riley Luna oil! I’ve been using their Juno face oil since winter and I really enjoy it, so I was really glad to get this product since I do most of my skincare before bed time. The lip balm from Organic Pharmacy is also a pleasant surprise, I’ve been using it since my box arrived yesterday and I really like it! (I’m a bit of a lip balm enthusiast/snob) it’s not as thick as other lip balms I have, but it’s very moisturizing and doesn’t leave any waxy residue like others. It’s got a sheen to it making your lips a bit glossy while you wear it, which I like for no lipstick days. I will try the other products soon!

My Allure June beauty box

by mybeautyaddictions
written by mybeautyaddictions

So I ordered my first ever Allure subscription box because I wanted to try the Ole Henriksen “Transforming Walnut Scrub”, which retails for $28. For $10 I was able to get that product in its full size, plus all these other goodies:

  • Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask mini
  • KVD mirror
  • Everlasting lip liner in “Lolita”
  • Lipstick in “Double Dare”
  • Tattoo Liner in Trooper (black).

Overall I’m incredibly happy with my purchase simply because I got the Ole Henriksen full size Scrub for only $10! I absolutely LOVE it. It smells really amazing, and it genuinely does “transform” my skin when I use it. It leaves it soft like a baby’s butt, very different to other scrubs and exfoliators I’ve used before. And it doesn’t irritate my skin at all! A word of warning: definitely use this scrub with your fingers. At some point I tried to use it by applying it on a wash cloth and then rub it on my face, and it was way too harsh when used that way. But it’s beautiful and leaves excellent results when used as intended: circular motions with your fingers. I actually also use this scrub on my shoulders and lower neck area, and it leaves them so soft and naturally glowy!

The rest of the products I received are also good, the Tata Harper is a product I’ve received previously with my Sephora Play box. It’s surprisingly good at fading dark spots on skin and lightening them up. The Kat Von D products are good, I had never used any of her stuff until recently. The lipstick and lip liner are pretty shades and feel creamy on my lips.
