Brij'Adore - Brija Cosmetics First Box in the New Quarterly Subscription

“Curiouser and curiouser!” 


It is here! Brija released the first box in the new quarterly subscription, Brij'Adore. The first theme is Alice in Wonderland which is perfect for the spring season, though will say it is still freezing here on the east coast. In addition, Tim Burton's Alice Through the Looking Glass is coming out this year. Should also mention that this is March's box...get it...like the March Hare..though not sure if Brianna planned it like this BUT still really cool. 

All the products in this box are LIMITED EDITION however there is a small overstock of certain items available in the shop. Everything is vegan, gluten, soy, and dye free. This month came with four shadows, a blush, and a lipstick. All items are full size. 






 Go ahead and take a moment to look at those cute labels!! I should note that this box DID come with a sample of a tumeric face primer that should be making it into the shop next month. I won't comment on this as I plan to do a full post on it.


L to R: Flower Crowns, We're All Mad Here, Down the Rabbit Hole, Tea Party, and Golden Afternoon
                                       
 Flower Crowns Blush

Matte medium mauve with purple and brown undertones.

*Lip safe. Eye safe.

I LOVE this color on my cheeks. Anything with a purple undertone generally look great on my pale skin. I have used this on my eyes and it makes a great shadow as well.


We're All Mad Here

Magenta with a blue sheen

*NOT lip safe

You can never go wrong with a magenta ESPECIALLY when it has a blue sheen. I have a few colors similar to this one but they are not exact matches. However, the other ones I have are definitely not gluten, soy, or dye free so it's a great color for individuals looking for cleaner cosmetics.


Down the Rabbit Hole

Light baby blue

*Not lip safe.

To be honest, I LOVE color. This one intimidating me just a little at first, but it is the most unique color to me in the set. I used it over my lid and fell in love with it. It would be a great color to tone down pairing it with a brown.



Tea Party

Bright hot pink

*Not lip safe.

It is pink. I love pink...there really isn't much more to say. I adore this color and will get a ton of use out of it. 






The Golden Afternoon

Warm gold with orange

*Lip safe.

Love, love, love. The name is perfect. My father loved to garden and the singing flowers were his favorite part of the Disney cartoon movie. This one is extra special for me because it reminds me of him. :) 





Card Guard Organic Lipstick

A warm brown red neutral 

It is really hard for my to find neutral colors for my lips. There is something about the natural pigmentation of that that turns a lot of nude like colors into crap. This however looks amazing. 

*In future posts a lip swatch will be provided instead of an arm swatch.











To put this all simply I absolutely LOVE this color theme. I do think the colors may be intimidating for individuals that may not venture out too much with color. But every one of these shadows can be paired with something neutral to just add a pop of color. If you have been following me for awhile you know that a color crease of color lower lash line are favorite areas of mine to add a color.
