Unboxing: Starlooks Starbox March 2014 - Ashley Hackman Special Edition



Hi makeup junkies and happy Sunday to you all. I wanted to pop on here real quick, so I could share with you all what I got in my March Starbox. For those of you who have absolutely no idea what a "Starbox" is, let me give you a little info real quick: Starbox is a monthly makeup subscription service, created by the cosmetic brand Starlooks, that costs $15/month and comes with 1-5 full size Starlooks products in it each month. I was first introduced to the Starlooks brand, by receiving some of their products in my IPSY bag and was quite impressed with their makeup. I started doing some research on their brand and found out that they offered their own subscription service, and four months later here we are.

This month's box is a special edition box, where everything was specially chosen by Entrepreneur, Makeup artist, and YouTube Sensation (their words) Ashley Hackman. I'm not quite sure who she is, so I will have to go on to her YouTube account and watch some of her videos. Anyway, her box came with three full sized products: A lipstick, lipliner, and a black gel liner. I'm a huge fan of this month's box and the products that Miss Hackman chose, I feel like it included some awesome key products that will help you create a gorgeous black liner and sexy orange/red lip that's perfect for Spring. Also, I think the best part about this box, is that Starlooks made a generous donation to the Downtown LA Women's Shelter with the proceeds from this box. So not only did I received some bad ass makeup, but all of us who bought a box get to make a difference in these people's lives.



Starlooks Lipstick- Boss
Full Size $12.00
(lipstick by itself)
-The most remarkable red lip you'll ever find. Starlooks' signature color "Boss" will complete your look with that perfect, timeless, pop of bold rouge and satin shimmer that screams "Girl Power", and it doesn't stop there. Our ultra-moisturizing lipstick formula leaves your lips feeling kissably soft.
^Boss is a red/orange lipstick with a slight orange/gold shimmer to it; it also has a satin finish. I'm not usually a fan of lipsticks that have a shimmer in them, but this lipstick is GORGEOUS! I found that once the lipstick is on the lips, you really don't notice the shimmer very much. This lipstick on it's own seriously brightens my entire face up and I feel like the color is absolutely perfect for Spring. Also, if you apply the lipstick over the included lip liner, you get a gorgeous medium/deep strawberry shade and you also get a much more matte finish.

Starlooks Lip Liner- Cherry Cedar
Full Size $12.00
-Don't forget to prep those bossy lips with this classic matte red liner. Our prestigious lip liner formula creates the ultimate canvas for any lasting lip look. Ashley specifically selected a deeper red to urge you to get creative and experiment with shading.
-Cherry Cedar is a mid-tone red with a pink undertone and a matte finish. I love, love, LOVE this lip liner. The color and formula of this lip liner is seriously awesome. I love that this red pencil has that slight pink undertone, so it just really works well with my skin tone. I also love that this pencil has a matte finish, because it lasts forever, but doesn't feel super drying, and looks amazing all on it's own. I also love that when you layer a more shiny lipstick over top of the liner, it takes on a more matte finish 

Starlooks Infinity longwear Eye Liner- Black Hole
Full Size $13.00
-A must-have, staple product for every makeup lover. This creamy, quick-dry formula provides that time-honored, slick, black liner look that has kept every woman looking her absolute best for centuries.
-Black Hole is a black longwear cream liner, with a matte finish. Everyone, say hello to my new FAVORITE gel liner! This cream liner is absolutely perfect in every way. The formula went on smooth, even, and opaque, dried to a matte finish, and lasted forever! I also really love this liner on the waterlines. The color went on so dark and black and it seriously lasted all day, without smudging or smearing. I seriously am loving this stuff

Final Thoughts: I am so happy with all the products I received this month. That eyeliner and lip pencil seriously blew my mind, and that lipstick is seriously pretty and unique as well. I also really love that Starlooks donated some of the proceeds to a great charity.

Do any of you guys get Starlooks' Starbox? I also created a look using the products I received this month, and I plan on having that up for ya'll tomorrow. Let me know what you guys think about this post and I'll talk to ya'll later!
