Hello everyone. Now we have all heard of beauty box subscriptions. I agree that they are a great way to try out great products. But while there are many out and about, there aren't many that carry brands for the Women of Color. Most popular beauty boxes don't have the option of customizing the boxes to your skin color and hair type. Today I am sharing with you my video review of a Cocotique box. Cocotique is a beauty box subscription service that supplies samples and full size products based around Women of Color. At only $20 per month you can have amazing products at your doorstep. I had the opportunity of reviewing their November box and I am completely impressed. My video review shows you all that I think of the box and if you watch towards the end I give you a chance to win the Limited Edition December Cocotique Box. I greatly encourage you to enter the giveaway for a chance to win a great box for yourself, or even a friend or family member. 
I have a great 10% coupon code below, if you want to try Cocotique.

I'm changing up my video style, I want to put up more professional, quick and informative videos for you all. My first new video is my updated everyday face makeup. I have also changed how I wear makeup. Gone are the days that I wear 1 to 2 pumps of foundation, I now use a half to 1 pump. I think it works better for my skin and makes it look better. I break everything down from my foundation to mascara and my lips. Tell me how you like this new video, and makeup. Until next time...

I know that my last favorites video/post was exactly one year ago, October 2012, but maybe favorites can be a yearly thing for me. Just kidding! I never gain a love for new products every month, it's just not realistic for me. If I were to put up monthly favorites, know that something is wrong with me. Well today, I am sharing with you my beauty favorites of this path month or so. The products mentioned are truly things that have been relying on through thick and thin. I will attach the adjoining video but I also wanted to talk about each product in specifics here. I hope that's okay with you though...So let us get started!

NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in 'Natural' 

After buying into the hype regarding these glosses I picked up two of them. I love 'Natural', it is the perfect nude lip gloss I have tried. I love the pigmentation and the formulation of it. It is not sticky or tacky, which you usually get with a drugstore lip gloss. I also love the price! I got mine for around $4-5 on Amazon which is a great steal for a high quality lipgloss. 

La Femme Blush in 'Russet' 

I cannot even describe the quality and goodness that this blush gives. The color is perfect for a woman of color such as myself. I have 5 La Femme blushes and they all have great pigmentation and are not chalky. This color Russet is a great shade for fall for any skin tonte. I am wearing this blush in the video, you can see the healthy, warm tone it gives my face. I recommend this blush to anyone and everyone! Did I mention that each of these blushes cost a mere $2.50?

E.l.f Small Stipple Brush 

I have been wearing less and less foundation lately, just enough to cover up discoloration. I use this brush to buff in that small amount of foundation all over my face and it does an excellent job. I initially wanted to purchase the Mac 130 brush but you and I both know, ain't nobody got time for paying $30 on ONE makeup brush. So, I bought this  for only $3 and I love it dearly. The next time I make an order at E.l.f I will get another one of these just to have an extra!

Beyonce Heat Perfume 

There's not much I can sit here and type about this fragrance besides...

1. I love Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter. 2. I love this perfume, the scent is mature, sexy, and inviting. It draws people to you and gives you that extra kick of confidence, without being to obnoxious. I think Beyonce, being all about empowering women, created this fragrance with that in mind. Also this fragrance comes in bigger sizes, the one I have is the smallest.

DooGro Mega Thick Growth Oil 

I use this oil to add moisture to my dry scalp and to the mid-shafts and ends of my hair. I like that it gives a healthy sheen and adds moisture without weighing my hair down. I have used this as a hot oil treatment and it gave my hair a great sheen and added strength. I love this hair oil as it adds up to the more expensive types. 

E.l.f Nail Polishes in 'Skinny Jeans' and 'Green Machine' 

I love the fun colors of these nail polishes, especially Skinny Jeans. It's exciting and fun. Green Machine is a great fall shade without being too boring. These polishes are $2 at E.l.f. and while they don't have the best staying power (to me being 7 days or more) are great for a fun boost to your look. I also love that they don't contain the harmful and cloying ingredients that most nail polishes do.

Have you tried any products here? What are your favorites?

I have a new fall makeup tutorial for you guys! I did a green smokey eye perfect for the fall months! I really love green eyeshadow on dark skin so tell me how this one works out for you. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I loved creating it for you. Don't forget to link-comment-subscribe!
