INFLUENSTER: ESTÉE EDIT BOX #BEAUTYATTITUDES


Hi Everyone!

I'm so excited to share probably my favorite VoxBox from Influenster. If you are unfamiliar what this is, these are free boxes full of products to test and share reviews on the platform app called Influenster. This month I was one of the lucky few who received the Estée Edit box which is the new line or sub-brand if you will, by Estée Lauder. In this box we received 5 beautiful full size products (one is a 2-in-1). They are as followed: Flash Illuminator, Beam Team (Hydrate + Glow), Pore Vanisher Stick, and Barest Lip Color lipstick. The boxing packaging it comes in is a clean white and blue design, perfect for summer, reminds me of Santorini. I've tested all of the products and definitely have favorites, but overall, they all are pleasing. I thought the Flash Illuminator would be my favorite since before I got the box, because I am a highlight goddess, but to my surprise it was Beam Team I ended up loving way more. The FI I received was in the shade 01 Spotlight, the lightest of the range, I was thankful for this because some fair skinned girls received the darkest bronze color which wouldn't work that great for their skin tone. :( Anyway, this product is a cream consistency, the pump it comes in looks very much like a foundation pump bottle. It is a bit on the cheap plastic side for the normal $26 it costs, but the product itself is quite pretty. It gives a glow from within, pearlescent sheen to the skin. On the other hand, the Beam Team (2-in-1 product), is an ingenious design and double trouble (the good kind) item. I loved the cleverness in hiding the shimmer balm under the flip cap of what you think would be the where the cream from the tube comes out. When you take off the cap, it's a regular cream tube. The two together work beautifully, and this product was more of a golden color, which was nice, so I got a silver and a gold glow product from the FI and Beam Team. The balm makes the shimmer from the tube more intense, giving a beautiful golden sheen to the skin that surprisingly, lasts a long time. Next is the Pore Vanisher Stick, although this does as claims: eliminating oil and blurring pores, it isn't anything new. I'm not sure I would buy this in the store if I hadn't got this as a tester. There are exact dupes of this product, even in the drugstore that do the exact same thing, same design and everything. It reminded me a lot to Benefit's "Dr. Love" balm I believe? Last but not least is the Barest Lip Color lipstick, I received the second to darkest shade "In the Buff". The entire line is nude browns and beiges, mine is a darker one, but at first swipe it comes off very sheer but is definitely build able. This lipstick is intriguing because it doubles as a lip balm, it has a texture I haven't had in a lipstick before. It is very moisturizing on the lips, it contains Muru Muru butter which is probably why my lips feel like...well...butter when I have this on! I find myself reaching for this when my lips are dry and in need of conditioning, rather than the color. All in all, this box was a hit, I would have loved to have even more products from the line, but that's just me being greedy now. :) thank you for reading, go to your nearest Sephora and try these products and Estée Edit line for yourself!

Disclaimer:  The Estée Edit products complimentary, but all opinions are my own.

I'm going to try and film a Youtube unboxing + demo soon
I even may shoot a model using all the products.

Today I received the Influenster Amuse Bouche VoxBox, three lipsticks were sent to me by Influenster to try complimentary and to give my honest review on them. Upon opening the box, there is black tissue paper and a small Amuse Bouche card. The lipsticks' packaging are matte black, very smooth and upscale looking. Each lipstick has a small "B" embossed on the lipstick itself, for BITE's logo. The three shades sent were Gazpacho, Pepper, and Beetroot. These are named after tasty foods and plates because that what actual amouse bouches are! Small appetizers that please your mouth. It is french for "amuse mouth". I thought that was cute to incorporate this theme into their line. I also love French as anyone who knows me, knows. The one that really caught my eye at first glance was Pepper, a beautiful dusty pink with nude undertones. I've become obsessed with nudes and dusty shades lately! Gazpacho is a bold red that is so classy, reminds me of Dolce and Gabbana runway and  flamenco dancers. Last but not least, is Beet Root, it is a berry red, much like the actual vegetable it is named after but less avant garde. All three lipsticks are buttery and creamy, there is definitely moisture so your lips will be happy. With one layer, Gazpacho and Beet Root were very pigmented, but Pepper is a bit more sheer but very buildable which makes it versatile in my opinion, if you want a sheer coverage you can have that or more layers for more coverage.


Thank you to Influenster and BITE for making this happen
