The scent was not over the top at all.
I've had Boxycarm (and upgraded to Boxylux) now for 4 months, and I've been more than satisfied with all but 1 box. In fact I've quite liked most of them. There have been at least one thing in each that has not been particularly my style, but the rest makes up for it! That being said, my skincare journey only started really in January of this year (with a couple of Ordinary purchases in the fall), so pretty much *everything* is new for me. Despite the journey being new, I am quickly figuring out what works better for me than other things...but I haven't 'tried it all'. DS or trial sizes are great!! Along with that, I only used drugstore brand makeup before January, so most unique and expensive makeup brands are new. Therefore, everything I've received in boxy has been new (tho not always the colours I'd prefer when it comes to makeup). I've posted all my boxycharm boxes on the subscriptions thread, if you want to see what came for me these last 4 months. Currently I'm finding it fun to try to find things I like, and I am not afraid to stop using something I'm not fond of. But the skincare has been piling up....
But it really does tickle me to to try new things. Why haven't I cared about skincare before? Well, at least I've started. 😊 @eshoe
That’s a fun way to start branching out (sub box), especially if you’re open to trying new stuff and your skin isn’t overly sensitive @l8totheparty. My skin is pretty tolerant, thank goodness!
Its a fun journey, and the feedback/advice here has been beneficial in helping me tweak things around to better my routine. Happy to share it:)
I haven't tried either of these @l8totheparty , but I'm thinking they may need to be added to my every growing list of ones I want to try. 🙂
Do! They are nice to use, as long as scents don't bother you. @mrsmouse
@l8totheparty Honestly, some do and some don't. I appreciate the heads up though as grabbing a sample first might be a better plan. 🙂
@l8totheparty I have both of these in a DS and still haven't tried them yet - it sounds like such a great pair! I'll definitely have to try out this combo! Happy to hear you enjoyed it! 😃👍
I got the Dr. Brandt probiotic cleanser in a previous boxycharm, and I love it. I use it every morning. I couldn't wait for the mask 😊 First time to use it and it didn't disappoint.
More masking cuteness from Look At Me. I used the Guacamole one yesterday (still catching up on posting). This was so very kindly gifted to me by both @l8totheparty and @faeriegirl. Now that I've tried it, I'm very happy that I have one more to use because I really like it and hadn't been able to find it locally or online.
As much as I love guacamole, I was thankful that it didn't smell of guacamole. Instead, I detected a clean, floral/fruity scent that was quite pleasant. It's a tencel mask, and it was comfortable to wear and contained a nice amount of extra serum. I kept it on for around 25 minutes. It's so interesting, because I'm finding the fit on each of the look at me masks to be a bit different. This one fit a bit better than the collagen one, although I did need to snip along the eyes a bit because the nose bridge was too wide. It also didn't completely cover the top of my forehead (around half an inch to an inch was showing).
It was very enjoyable to wear, and the main effect that I observed was softened/hydrated skin. Again, thank you very much @faeriegirl and @l8totheparty! I really enjoyed this one.
Completely agree with you @PrettyPaint - love guacamole but I wouldn't want my sheet mask to smell like it. 😉 I'm catching up on reading everyone's reviews on the thread; lots of Look At Me masks this week and whenever I see this one, it makes me want chips, salsa and guacamole. 🙂
@itsfi Haha maybe that's why I've been eating so much salsa this week.
This is my tied-for-favorite Lookatme mask, @PrettyPaint! Hey I just noticed you are Boss II way to go!!!!
@eshoe Yup, this one is at the top of this list for me in terms of Look At Me masks also! And thank you so much - I'm not entirely sure when it switched over to B II 🙂
@lmaster I haven't tried the watermelon yet, but I can't wait. I'm saving it for this weekend! 🙂 I'm even more excited to try now if it's your favorite!
Oh yes! @PrettyPaint it's a great scent with tons of Hydration!
@PrettyPaint Glad this turned out nice for you! I really liked the brightening effect of it... and when I first tried it I was super curious if it would smell at all like guacamole 😂🥑🍅
