Unboxed: My Envy Box - Beauty Edition December

One box, cold winter months, and MAKEUP - yes, that is all you need for a little cheering up on days that let you down.

My Envy Box December edition is a beauty box. It comes with 3 makeup products and 1 skin care product. The box is red in color with a snowflake sweater print - very Christmas oriented and surely a nice gift for your girl friends.

So this month's box came with just 4 products - I'm just being greedy, I've been spoilt with a minimum of 5 products each month! But this month the box contains all four FULL SIZE products - yes all of them!
But is it worth your money? Read on....

I chose colors that are perfect for creating natural looking eyes during the day which can be glammed up for an evening.

This palette contains 1 highlighter shade, 1 blush and two eye shadows. From top left to right in a clockwise order are the blush, highlighter, matte eye shadow and a shimmer eye shadow.

The blush is a gorgeous matte textured peach toned blush that also works as an eye shadow. The highlighter is great for the brow bone as well as for adding dimension to your contouring. The matte taupe brown shade can be used to add depth to the crease area, it can be used all over the lid to give a taupe color to the lids, and you can gently swipe this to contour your nose and cheekbones as well.

Luxola.com Discount Coupon, ZOEVA Luxe Cream Lipstick & Makeup Brushes

Hi friends, this is going to be a slightly longer post as I am sharing two different categories of products from the brand ZOEVA . ZOEVA is a German company but the products are now available to us through Luxola.com that ships internationally.

Oh and before I even start let me share a discount coupon* which I would otherwise forget to mention:

BLX-GANDOTRA

Use the above coupon code at checkout for a whooping 30% off on Luxola.com
This is not an affiliate coupon - the people at Luxola are offering this as an introductory coupon for readers of Our External World so do make use of this great opportunity. And now coming back to what I got myself.

I have been itching to try out a bright pink coral lipstick so the first product I am sharing is the ZOEVA Cream Lipstick, shade Melting Kisses. ZOEVA cream lipsticks are long-wearing creamy lipsticks. They have high pigmentation and can sustain a meal with very little fading.
The lipsticks are enriched with ivy, mallow and elder flower. All ZOEVA Luxe Cream lipsticks are paraben-free.

ZOEVA Luxe - Cream Lipstick - Melting Kisses and Makeup Brushes

ZOEVA Luxe Cream lipsticks come with a magnetic cap and minimalist packaging which is very chic and spells luxury.

Melting Kisses is described as a warm mellow pink. On my wheatish skin tone it appears very coral - a bit too bright for my liking. I think this shade is more suited for the fairer skin tones but can be worn by medium fair skin tones as well. I plan to wear this with a slightly brown lip liner underneath to tone down the brightness a bit. I love the swatch but I'm not comfortable wearing such bright shades so will have to do with a toned down version :)

ZOEVA Luxe Cream Lipstick Price: Rs 759.50

My Rating: 4/5

And now coming to the makeup brushes. ZOEVA has a wide array of brushes. I tried the ZOEVA Luxe brushes. This time the brushes I got were a face paint brush, a highlight brush, a crease brush and a cheek brush.

I love the packaging of these brushes. Each brush comes in its own zip pouch. These pouches are not just great for storing the brushes but would be great travel companions as well. (I think I have so many travel sized products and travel friendly pouches now that I should plan a travel soon - hello cities of this world - is anyone calling me out?)
