I mentioned in my July Petit Vour post that both of Petit Vour's and Beauty Box's July boxes were co-currated by vegan bloggers. For this months Beauty Box, Sunny of Vegan Beauty Review hand-picked all the products. If you aren’t familiar with Vegan Cuts they offer both snack and beauty boxes. For $19.99 a month, a beauty box contains 4-7 vegan, palm-oil free and cruelty-free products ranging from sample to full sized items. 

Lets take a look at my July box!

Summer Trends: Orange Lips


Orange lips are my favorite thing in the whole entire world, but really. Orange is a universally flattering color that puts together an outfit without being overwhelming or too overly done-like a red lip can be at times. Its a fun and carefree color that grabs everyones attention. 

If a creamy orange lipstick is a bit scary there are tons of different formulas out there from lip balms to stains that might be in your comfort zone. If you already have a rather strong orange lipstick you can tone it down with applying it with your ring finger in a tapping motion or applying the lipstick after applying a clear lip balm.

Fall Trends: Berry Lips

1, 2, 3, 4


The chiller weather means a cooler, darker palette. Lip colors are probably the easiest to play with and change according to the season. Berry lips come back every year so its no surprise you’re seeing it again, it's a classic. So my darlings, put down those pinks and oranges and put on a rich berry color. It can seem very intimidating at first but please don’t be afraid to give it a try. It’s universally flattering on all skin tones and with so many different formulas you are bound to find your match.

If you are uncomfortable with the idea of wearing such a deep shade or if you’re minimalist, a stain would be a great option for you. Stains are great way to test out colors and are easier to applier then a lipstick. You can either buy a sheer berry color stain or DIY. Apply a clear balm on to the lips, then gently tap a berry colored lipstick until you reached the desired shade. To matte it out use your ring finger and press onto lips.

If you’re ready to go head first and rock this trend then a opaque berry lipstick is what you need. Make sure that when wearing this look you keep the rest of your make-up simple. You don't want your make-up competing with one another or it will begin to look very animated. Applying such a dramatic color straight from the tube can be very tricky and get messy very quickly. I suggest starting with a clear lip liner to insure your color won’t bleed or disappear. Next, use a synthetic brush to apply the color while bloating in between coats. When you’re happy with the color use a cotton swab to clean around the mouth. Remember, you wear the color the color doesn't wear you. 

Good luck!
