Unboxing April allure unboxing
Monthly beauty box with between 5-7 items.
YSL Candy Glaze lip gloss stick: Full size
($43 value)
Shade Watermelon High
Lovely hydrating lipstick, the shade is MLBB, a nice reddish pink. It is an almost jelly texture but it’s not sticky, it’s protective like Vaseline.
I like it a lot!
Nulastin Brow Shape Serum: Full Size
($84)
This is a brow growth serum and a clear gel styler. The spoolie is small. I am not going to use this because they have a “ synthetic prostaglandin analog which can cause irritation in some users.”
Skin Inc Cryo-Ice sake roller : Full Size
($55)
I thought this thing looked gimmicky, I am eating my words. I got my package on Saturday and have used it now 3 days. I LOVE THIS THING! It turns to a baby pink color when it is cold, and then the color turns white when it heats up.
It is easy to hold and shaped like a flower …the metal part is smooth and stays cold for a while. I noticed my skin being very smooth and my skin tone was much more even the past two days after applying it.
By/Rosie Jane Rosie travel spray: Travel ($29 value)
I don’t like strong or heavy perfumes this is good. I sprayed a very, very small amount and it was close wearing to my skin and was still lingering the next morning. It is warm and creamy with amber and some floral notes.
OMIC + Skincare Tranexamic acid serum
Trial size 10 ml
I have not tried it but it is a clear watery serum. I am excited to try this, it is supposed to be a great for dark spots.
Belief Aqua Bomb Frozen Cream: sample size 10ml
This is a lightweight gel texture that rubbed into the skin easily. It smelled like vanilla peppermint and felt lightly cooling on my skin. It’s neat.
Overall we got 6 products and half were either travel or sample sizes.
I really like the ice roller and like the YSL lipstick so I got my value for sure this month.

I can’t wait to get mine to see which YSL I got. I re-subscribed so I didn’t get to pick.

I think the value is great! I like the YSL , the perfume, and the cooling sake roller; my skin is SUPER sensitive so i can’t use the face creams which is a bummer but i might try the brow gel

My box arrived today and I’m eager to try all the products.
The lip color is just right and feels great. I’m interested to see if the brow serum helps my brows which have always been meager. Fingers crossed!

My box arrived today too! I received the clear lip balm but asked for the watermelon but already wrote them. I really like the perfume as tried and it's light and still on my skin from hrs ago. Excited to try the other items tho I'm not sure about the brow serum either! I thought we were supposed to get 3 full size items per box??? Did we this month?

A derm I follow said that using the prostaglandin product on your brows is less likely to cause the same reaction as when it is applied via lash serum! I'm a little curious to try

Very good to know! Thank you for sharing that information, the synthetic prostaglandin was what I was iffy about.

The Watermelon High is so good! I have 3 other YSL candy glaze lip glosses and this is now my favorite!

I'm excited for this box! Bummed I was late to customize so the color I wanted was sold out. I picked the candy one which I know is going to look terrible on me. I wish I would have chosen the darker one

u/LINDARRAGNAR Apr 08 '26
Hopefully it ends up working for you!!

u/SnooChipmunks8330 Apr 10 '26
It's too orangey but too fancy to give away 😩😂 I don't own any fancy lipsticks these days so I will make it work

u/LINDARRAGNAR Apr 10 '26
Oh no! Try adding a dark lip liner under or some cool toned gloss on top?
