It had been ages since I last talked about Ipsy on my blog! You guys, Ipsy has really grown up since I last featured the popular makeup subscription on my blog. I started Always, Cleia in 2016 and my first beauty post was an Ipsy review. I left Ipsy in 2018 for a couple of reasons… *Note: This post contains my Ipsy referral link.*…

Have you ever been completely and entirely surprised by how good a makeup product is? That was my exact experience with the Violet Voss Essentials Palette. Prior to receiving it in my September Boxycharm I had heard mixed things about Violet Voss, so I was completely thrown by just how buttery & blendable the matte shadows are! Today I wanted to share my review…

Once again I was sucked into a subscription box plan. I’ve been off & on with Boxycharm for almost two years now. It’s the subscription that I recommend the most, but also the one that I tire of the fastest, and not for the reasons you might think. I get overwhelmed with Boxycharm because the value is almost too good for what you pay. Five…

Hello there! Can you feel it in the air? The breeze is becoming a little bit more crisp. The days are not quite as long as they used to be, and I can feel the dread in my bones: Winter is coming. Okay, sorry about the GOT reference. And we forgot about Fall! That in between season where it’s not really hot out but…

Once or twice a year I treat myself to a seasonal box of goodies from FabFitFun.

You’ve probably seen these boxes featured on social media like facebook and instagram all the time and might be wondering…

After months & month going by I’m back with a Boxycharm unboxing! I didn’t realize that it had been so long since I was last subscribed. Looking back through my old reviews my last Boxycharm box was in June, back when the Alamar Reina Del Caribe palette had just launched. I can’t believe how time has flown! The main reason that I left Boxycharm…

It’s been literally an entire year since I reviewed a Fabfitfun box. I quit just about all subscription boxes this year. I was reviewing Boxycharm for a few months but I was overwhelmed receiving so many full sized beauty products each month. Lately I’ve missed reviewing subscription boxes though so I thought what better subscription to return to than Fabfitfun? Fabfitfun always sends a great…

It’s been a hot minute since I reviewed a Topbox Beauty Box. Recently I was gifted the Topbox Just Treats Limited Edition Box and It reminded me of how much I missed reviewing subscription boxes, specifically Topbox. My last Topbox review was of the September 2017 Topbox so it’s high time I get reviewing the November Topbox for 2018. You can find all my…

I recently collaborated with Topbox to provide a sponsored post on my instagram which featured the Almay Clear Complexion Foundation. After completing the collaboration Topbox was so sweet to send me a Limited Edition Just Treats box as a thank you for working with them. This wasn’t part of the sponsorship arrangement, I wasn’t expecting it at all. I was really surprised when this…
