Unboxing November's Looksbook:

The November Starlooks Looksbook is probably my favorite up to this point.  The colors are absolutely insanely gorgeous.  Shimmering Future is the "Theme" for this month and Shimmer it definitely does.

Opulence - Lip Crayon

Lip Crayon in Opulence

With a name like Opulence, it definitely conjures up thoughts of luxurious and over the top.  This lip crayon definitely is what I would consider luxurious and over the top.  With it's deep rich berry shade, it gives the feeling of luxury and warmth.  It is the perfect color to wear during this holiday season!

EyeShadow Duo | Fortune & 500

Eyeshadow Duo:  Fortune / 500

Clearly with the names of the makeup this month, we can see a cohesive theme.  Fortune 500, well it's kinda self explanatory why it carries with the theme of "Shimmering", but perhaps the theme should have been named Shimmering Indulgences..  Because that's really what all of the products scream to me.

The colors of this eyeshadow duo are insanely gorgeous.  Rich and heavily pigmented, they are perfect for all the holiday parties coming up this holiday season!

Fortune is a shimmery gold shade, beautiful on any skintone!

500 is my favorite shade from this duo.  A beautiful shimmery berry, it's truly a remarkable color that is bound to make anyone who adorns this shade stand out from the crowd.  Especially when worn with the gorgeous "Golden Ticket" eyeliner.

Liquid Eyeliner | Golden Ticket

Last, but certainly not least is the liquid Eyeliner in "Golden Ticket", a perfect shimmery liner in an opulent gold shade.  This liner is not for the faint of heart.  Those who dare to wear it will sure to cause a stir wherever they may wear it.  If you want to fade into the background, I wouldn't recommend this gorgeous liner.  

The pigmentation is unbelievable, it shines so brightly and creates a beautiful shimmer that bounces beautifully off of light.  It's probably handsdown my favorite liner I've ever seen.

They truly outdid themselves with this liner!

Overall Thoughts:

This is by far my very favorite Looksbook yet.  Each and every piece in this collection is absolutely stunning and meant to draw attention.  With the holiday's coming up, these beautiful shades will look stunning against all the gorgeous lighting and screams festive!

The stunner out of the set, if I had to choose just one, definitely is "Golden Ticket", this liquid liner in that luxurious gold is bound to turn heads!  It's just so unique and perfect for Christmas time!

Your Thoughts:

I'd love to hear from you.  What's your favorite selection from the "Shimmering Future" Looksbook by Starlooks November Edition?  Is it the beautiful deep rich berry lip crayon in "Opulence" or the one of the Duo Shadows, 500 or Fortune?  Or are you like me and drawn to the gorgeous "Golden Ticket" liquid liner?

I can't wait to see what December Looksbook brings us!!  Stay Tuned for next months Looksbook and see what the December Edition has in store.  With it being Christmas, I have high hopes for next month!

September Looksbook by Starlooks

I have to say, one of the exciting parts of receiving the Looksbook is wondering what the theme will be for this month.  The boxes I've received so far have been so colorful and absolutely gorgeous.  

The colors for this month are perfect for the fall season.

August Looksbook:  Resort Edition

First Look: August Resort Edition by Starlooks

This was Starlooks first ever Looksbook, so I was really excited to be among the first to try the new subscription service.  I've been thoroughly impressed so far with the products that I've tried from Starlooks.

The Goodies....

Starlooks Looksbook Resort Edition UNBOXED

Jet Set- Lipstick

Starlooks Jet Set Lipstick

This is an absolutely gorgeous color.  It is a perfect shade for a "Resort" theme.  I prefer a bit brighter of shades because I'm so light skinned, so pale colors don't really look good on myself.  However, this would be great for a non - fussy look.

Ritz / Tropic Hightighter/ Blush Duo

Ritz / Tropic Highlighter & Blush DUO

I am absolutely OBSESSED with highlighters.  I use probably three minimum when I do my makeup.  I use a couple of liquid ones and then usually a powder highlighter as well.  So, I'm always pleased to see a highlighter in a subscription service.  The blush is gorgeous as well, it's a really nice coral-ish color.  These were also again, perfect for the "Resort" theme.

Aqua Cream Shadow

Aqua- Cream Shadow Stick

So, this is probably the only thing in the box (and out of all the other items I've received from Starlooks) that I just am not all that wild about.

The product itself is a nice one, however I just NEVER see myself wearing a sea green color on my eyes.  It's pretty, but I just don't think I could pull it off.

The shadow itself is a nice quality shadow.  I love cream shadows, but I prefer them to be in neutral tones because I find it easiest to apply with my fingers, yet I can't do detailing well with cream shadows.   That's why I need neutrals so I can just slab it on my whole eyelid.

Overall Thoughts

Overall, I'm really excited about the Looksbook subscription.  For just $12, it's a good price point for the items that you are receiving.

More Thoughts on Looksbook & Custom Starbox

Packaging:

For starters, I have to say that the packaging is really nice.  I really like the  way that it fits the products snuggly and includes a little book with tips.

It seems as if the Looksbook boxes will each have a theme, which is a really nice concept that I believe could work out well for Starlooks and their subscribers.

Timing:  

So, it is middle of September and I am just now receiving my Starlooks for August.  So, I would hope that they will try to get the timing of the deliveries (My box was delayed because my original box went to an old address) so that you get August in August, September in September and so on.  

I love the "Resort" edition, however it's the middle of September and even in Alabama it's starting to get chilly.  I'm thinking of Halloween decorations and this box is thinking of the ocean.  So, that's a small thing, but that's a huge concern that I see with the Looksbook themes and the timing of the deliveries.  However, this is a BRAND NEW service, so I hope that this problem will be remedied.

Custom VS Looksbook

I love both subscriptions.  However, there are some pros and cons with each service.  If you like them both so much you want them both, well at $12 each, it's definitely doable.

With each subscription, you receive three items.  So, no difference there.  However, it seems that with the Looksbook, we will see more innovative and exciting products delivered than with the Custom option (Pure speculation on my part).

The one thing is when you look at the value of the Custom versus the value of Looksbook it seems that the scales are way tipped to favor the Custom option.  This is because of the three bonus giftcards subscribers receive with their Custom box.  This can add a minimum of $60 more in products each month than with the Looksbook.

The giftcards really is the only way I see that there is one service that is better than the other.  They are both great subscriptions!!

OH, ONE Last thing...  

What is Perfect Size???

Starlooks calls their "Sample" sized products "Perfect Size".  They are supposed to be larger than normal "Deluxe" yet smaller than a full size.  The description says that they are about 3/4 the size of full sized items.  

In the picture below I did a comparison of a Full Sized (MAC), Perfect Size, and a Deluxe (UD sample) sized items.  

Starlooks "Perfect" Size VS The "Others"

It's really quite hard to compare the "Perfect" size and the UD Deluxe size.  The Starlooks "Perfect" appears to be taller, yet it does't seem to be as big around as the UD sample.  

I hope that this helps at least a little in trying to determine what their meaning of "Perfect" size is. 

That's ALL Folks

Thanks for checking out my review of August's Starlooks Looksbook Box.  I would love to hear from you.  Sometimes, I feel like I am talking to myself.  Is anyone out there?  If you are reading this, then you deserve a gold star for making it all the way to the bottom.
