    Canadian beauty boxes?

    Are there any Canadian beauty boxes that feature Canadian brands and local products primarily? I'm a boxycharm subscriber but have been on pause for a while. They've increased prices and with the tariffs being imposed by both sides I don't know how prices will be in the near future. Would love to support local brands and products but it's hard to know where to start. Thought a beauty box would be a good idea. I'm sure there are others interested!

    January Empties from Subs

    January was surprisingly a busy month for skincare empties (you can see a more detailed posting with allll my other empties over in my profile if interested).

    Beauty box-wise, I was a little slower as I’m working through some full size items, so I’ll likely have a bigger discussion list in March, I expect. Still, not bad progress! (Enough I decided to splurge and not skip Ipsy this month ha ha.) I also slowed down toward the end of the month after an unfortunate product oopsie relegated me to skin barrier recovery mode. My goal is to continue to work through my treasure trove and find my holy grails (and thus stop buying so many shineys to try).

    With that in mind, my empties are primarily from Ipsy this month, with a little bit of FFF and FGF in the mix. Stay tuned for upcoming Boxwalla pans in the nearish future.

    I'll provide a highlights reel of products in the comments and you can ask me any questions - happy to answer!

    [Weekly thread] Sunday Excitement - What are you looking forward to this week?

    It can be anything you're excited for, not just beauty boxes. Writing the names of the sub box in **bold** is nice, to make it easier for people skimming the thread to pick out the names.

    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.
