    Macy’s unboxing

    I really love this box! I’m so excited about the YSL lippie because it’s a color I don’t have! Also, the mirror, which some might think feels cheap, feels so squishy and yummy to me! I love how it snap closes, too.

    From 1 to 10 How would you rate your beautylish lucky bag 2025?

    After ranting about my own XL bag, basically because some regular bags got items that equal the total of my XL bag and some even got ND palettes. I would like to know how would you rate your bag? I would rate mine to 4 . Got lots of skincare products but hated the palette (Danessa Myrics Blooming Romance). Next year I will switch to Tatcha lucky bag for sure! I

    Unlucky Beautylish box

    So my 150 plus shipping bag. Wonderful isn’t it. The 98 dollar lash and eyebrow serum is over half my box. It came out to 303.00. Done dirty. I hate this being the last one, since I did it with my mom until she passed and kept doing it but for real? The tilbury is just pillowtalk too. We all have it.

    Ipsy Question

    I don’t really use much makeup but I love skin care. Would the basic Ipsy $15 a month sub be worth it? Also I saw on their website that you get to pick one of the 5 products but it says all deluxe size - however it says full size for one? Is that the norm or just for a first time sub? Thank you.

    I was able to fine the price to all the items on the Beautylish site except the French Riviera Palette. The total is $93 on their site. The palette was $34 on another site.

    Missing lucky boxes

    Just got off of live chat with Beautylish. They said that boxes are being reshipped this week. It seems they had a courier issues. If my box hasn’t updated by Friday I will. She wouldn’t say what happened. And I am annoyed by that. But I will wait out this week….

    Theory about “unshipped” lucky bags

    I have a theory. I emailed them and they said they reshipped my bag on Friday. That doesn’t make sense, that means they sent me two packages?

    My theory is that there never was a “first bag”. There was a first set of bags with products. Once those products ran out, the next set of bags would go out with different products.

    THEN, it would ship. The first “shipment” was an illusion, especially since it only said a request was made.

    That’s just my thought.
