Hey guys! Today I thought we would compare two of my current favorite boxes! I think these are both fun with a good amount of makeup and cute packaging! Let me know which one you like best! Love ya 💖
OK here's my assessment, I love eyescream beauty box and it was phenomenal, but I also have not tried Plouise, I love the packaging and the amount of makeup items that you get, so ❤️ it's a tie 😂😂
Love those Motley Chromes. So pretty. The tingle/numbness reminds me of when I get a migraine during a Sinus infection, and you mentioned smelling issues, so you may wish to goto the doctor to get that looked at.
Speaking as a long time sinus issue sufferer here, losing feeling in your cheek can mean pressure or it can mean infection. I would go see an ENT sooner rather than later!
Yes! I get so many bacterial sinus & ear infections, I can say that there are a number of symptoms that you need to see an ENT for. Often, a prescription for antibiotics is only for a few days. Ten to14 days is better.
@@lisamiller8174 yep, I'm on them multiple times a year for infections. I always worry when people say things like that because I know how bad the untreated infection can get. I hope Alexandria gets seen soon.
I use to get sinus infections all the time and live off of Tylenol sinus daily. I finally had sinus surgery back in 2000 where my ENT cleaned out my sinuses in my forehead (which he said was like cement) and I never had another sinus infection or allergies again. It was a miracle. It was the best thing that I could have done.
The reason P Louise send two similar palettes is for makeup artists kits. They send one cool tone and one warm tone to work for all undertones. Or one palette with both color schemes. It’s kinda their thing. ❤❤
As someone that is big into formulations & make makeup myself, talc is pretty damn harmless in makeup. It’s a way to make a blendable product more inexpensively instead of using more silica spheres so it’s a give or take which you would rather have more of personally. Bronzer or contour being a good example. What you don’t want to do is have it in your nether regions. That’s the truth. Talc is one of many natural ingredients that has the potential to have contaminants. That said, testing is important & because of the amount of legal issues those who didn’t do testing (as well as gave medicinal bodily uses to keep dry even when they had warning…)have landed themselves in, it’s tested pretty regularly now. I hope that helps people & gives some peace of mind ❤️
This is a very reasonable and informed response! The company being sued over talc issues right now is because of contaminants that were in their talc- not the talc itself
@@ACWells13 thank you! I’m sad to see when cosmetic+products including ingredients such as talc get a bad rep when it’s actually quite safe(not in the nether regions & tested of course) and a good option for slip. I appreciate your response. It’s amazing how many people have just about written off such a good resource & happens to be one of the many natural resources that can have contaminants like you said. Testing is at a high which is a good thing
Lighting tips I have found/figured out. Put a white cloth over or in front of the light to defuse the direct light, but keep the brightness. thin white sheets are perfect for this, like a twin flat sheet. If the light is too hot to put a cloth over, turn the light away from your face, but towards a white colored wall. It will bounce the light back at your recording space, but not have the light blaring directly at your eyes.
Two things: Please start wearing color again, because it really does look good on you. I love those multi?chromes, especially with the liner. Second, and more importantly, as a lifetime migraine sufferer (migraineur), the tingly/numb thing with your cheek _might_ be a migraine, but it's definitely worth mentioning to your doctors. Take care ✌️☮️💜
Love the eyeshadow look with those loose pigments. I was getting Harley Quinn vibes, makes me think you could totally do a whole Harley Quinn look for Halloween with the way you did them in this video.
I think the cream products are popular now because the "no makeup makeup" thing is so trendy! Like people will skip foundation and stuff like that on daily makeup, so cream products go better on clesn skin than powder.
I'm currently dealing with an abscess above one of my teeth (without any decay to the tooth and closer to my sinuses than my tooth) and the way you described your cheek feeling is how my tooth/gums/mouth/nose/lip/abscess feel, so I would definitely go get that checked out sooner rather than later!
Had to take a break from Eyescream Beauty but loved it. Great palettes and the price was good. They are so creative each month and they know how to keep it up somehow.
Spearmint tea is INCREDIBLE iced and makes such a refreshing tea in the summer. I also find i dont need to add sweeteners to it and im not big in bitter tea/coffees without some sugar/cream. If you want to dip your toe into teas i think that would work for you
Is spearmint tea nicer than peppermint? I've tried peppermint but it tasted more 'earthy' than minty. My 2 favourite teas are Lemon with Ginger and Cranberry w Pomegranate. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
You are one of my favorite youtubers and always brighten my day. I live vicariously through you and your unboxings. I used to subscribe to several boxes but 2 years ago I started randomly passing out and having debilitating migraines. I had to quit my job, so I had to give up my subscriptions. Starting January 2023 my headaches have been so bad that I've only left the house to go to doctor appointments. I've tried all the migraine remedies including trigger point injections and Botox with very minimal relief. I was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia and learned I would need surgery or this would basically be my life. Insurance doesn't cover the surgery, so $18,000 later, I will have the surgery in May. I pray I get my life back!! I hope you are able to find out what's going on with you and that it's easily treatable. I have a long way to go before I'll be able to afford any subscriptions, but in the meantime I'll just continue to enjoy your channel. Please forgive the rambling! I wish you and your little family the best! Thanks for being real and making me smile!!😊
I really wanted those chrome eyeshadows (especially the bronze)! Chantiko doesn’t even sell the red/bronze one in store :( only the purple one. They’re $12 each. They look gorgeous!!
1. Need house updates ASAP bc im living my sad life vicariously through you and yeah updates!! 2. Petition to add "its so precious!" Stuff to your merch bc I'm pretty sure you say it at least 4 times a video 😂 also "Itty bitty" !! Love your videos, they always make my day when I can watch them!
that Earth Harbor mask is my favorite product from the brand. It is so nice. just remember to paint it on the skin with a brush. It has made my skin fantastic.
Hi Alexandria I love watching you and your unboxings. I canceled all my boxes after years so I am living vicariously. I was just wondering where your glasses are from. I love that shape and have been having a hard time finding it!
I’m very tempted to cancel Ipsy and try the ice cream beauty box! I’ll give Ipsy one or two months but that’s it! I also get the p Louise box and this one was one of my favorites!
Eyecream Beauty I believe is $25 a month and it includes shipping 🌸 I use to be subscribed. Downsized in 2023 as I was receiving a lot of different beauty subscriptions a month
A couple months ago I had that feeling in my face by my sinuses . I went to my doctor. I had a deep sinus and ear infection. I was put on heavy antibiotics. And was told to do steam baths to breathe in the steam to unclog my sinuses.
As a tea drinker, if your tea is herbal you can brew it for as long as you like. It's black, green and white tea (leaves from the actual tea plant) that contain caffeine and release a bitter flavor if over-brewed. You can still drink over-brewed tea, but the bitter flavor will become stronger the longer you brew it and start overpowering the other flavors.
Talc is only an issue because where you find talc, you will also find asbestos. When it is not properly mined, trace amounts of asbestos can be found; this mainly happens with cheap talc, hence the Claire's asbestos fiasco a couple of years ago. More expensive talc is generally safe.
Hello Alexandria, I am so glad that You are unboxing the Plouise Mystery Box. I’ve been wanting to get one and try out there products but want to see what some boxes look like. I loved the Plouise Huge Advent Calendar that You unboxed, that was the Best Advent Calendar that I’ve ever seen! 💙💙💙
Loving your antics,you always brighten up my days. I get eyescream box there's no shipping but there is on there bag but only a couple bucks. Thanks for being you girl, your amazing
Go search for P.Louise. Watch the Queen Conquer Palette!!! It's one of my favorite pallets from them. I paid $145 for it but the freaking colors are vibrant and absolutely stunning!
sweet sweet Alex go to the drs for your cheek. We don't mess with numbness in the face. Yes it could be sinuses but getting it checked out would just be best ❤
You don't like tea? Try a black tea blend (darjeeling preferably) brewed strong with a lot of milk and a couple spoons of sugar :D Also, I have light sensitivity too but for me that means no natural light, and big room lights always. If I have lamps and no room lights I get so sleepy and can't cope!
I also get that with the left side of my face I noticed a while back when I couldn’t feel my makeup brush on my skin, I have no idea what the reason was but it has eventually come back. X
'I wanted to get a tiny nibble out of my chocolate bar after dinner for the next days... and I ate the whole thing.' *Me looking at where my Easter egg was until two days ago when I went crazy and ate an insane amount of chocolate all at once* 👀 As usual you are so relatable Alexandria.
The trigeminal nerve goes in three directions and one is through your cheek. My cheek goes numb any time I have inflammation. I’d get it checked out to keep it from becoming a painful issue.
Talc can contain asbestos which causes cancer if it is inhaled. I’ve heard talc is more of an issue with baby powder/ setting powders. I imagine using it once in a while isn’t too bad, and most talc used now is refined and doesn’t have asbestos. It’s likely not as much of a concern now, but it’s up to you to decide if you want to use it.
I love both of these boxes, they're my favorite of all you get. The eyeshadows are just good god, so gorgeous on you. Both shades flatter you, you look amazing!
Hey guys! Today I thought we would compare two of my current favorite boxes! I think these are both fun with a good amount of makeup and cute packaging! Let me know which one you like best! Love ya 💖
OK I will after I see them ❤
Can I pick both of these 😂❤❤
OK here's my assessment, I love eyescream beauty box and it was phenomenal, but I also have not tried Plouise, I love the packaging and the amount of makeup items that you get, so ❤️ it's a tie 😂😂
If you put alcohol on it and press it you'll have a new pressed pallette
Love those Motley Chromes. So pretty.
The tingle/numbness reminds me of when I get a migraine during a Sinus infection, and you mentioned smelling issues, so you may wish to goto the doctor to get that looked at.
You CAN'T just HINT at house drama and NOT TELL US!!! I'm invested!!!
I agree. After the last update I'm guessing not the best news. 😢
I want to know😢... No fair😅
Exactly!!! IK, R?
Agreed!
Can't blame her forgetting. She was shooting for over an hour. I'm sure she'll tell us at the beginning of the next one.

@@amybourget6046I have had two so far and need another one soon 😂 but yeah surgery did help a lot
The two different colours on your eyes actually look so good together.
It actually looks so cool
Those loose pigments are what my shadow dreams are made of

Simply nailogical covered her face in multichrome once 😂😂 truly iconic

Same
The bubble bath packaging gives me 90's vibes. I love it.
Like the L’Oréal kids stuff
@@reallifejenni yes
Me too. So cute.
100% reminds me of my childhood
GIRL IF YOU LOVE BATHS. Get yourself the Lush advent calendar this year. Would love to see your take on it!!!
That red duochrome will be so stunning for the holidays!!!!! I'm ready for Christmas already lol!!! Bring on the Advent calendars!!!
Shut your mouth!!! 😮 no holidays yet!! 😂
YASSSSSS!
The house??! Omg Alexandria, leaving us hanging like that 😱😱😱
PS those duo/multi chrome shades are stunning!
I think the cream products are popular now because the "no makeup makeup" thing is so trendy! Like people will skip foundation and stuff like that on daily makeup, so cream products go better on clesn skin than powder.
Love the eyescream subscription! It's $24 with free shipping! So glad you like it and do the unboxing! Love this video!
Came here to say this!❤
Seeing someone discover multichromes for the first time is delightful! This was me too 😆👍🏻
I'm a nail tech, powder pigment usually comes that way. Duo chrome is amazing.
I'm currently dealing with an abscess above one of my teeth (without any decay to the tooth and closer to my sinuses than my tooth) and the way you described your cheek feeling is how my tooth/gums/mouth/nose/lip/abscess feel, so I would definitely go get that checked out sooner rather than later!
Had to take a break from Eyescream Beauty but loved it. Great palettes and the price was good. They are so creative each month and they know how to keep it up somehow.
Wipe the brush through multichromes and spray with liquid (can be water) and apply. If you don't have glitter glue, this makes metalics pop. 😊
Man, those duochromes are EVERYTHING. I just want those , nothing else. 🤣🤣
That redish eyeshadow looks BEAUTIFUL on you! Stunning!😍
I really like both these boxes. Those duo chrome eye shadows were stunning!
❤ Go to the doctor❤ Numbness with shooting "pain" could be something light, could be scary. Especially if these are new symptoms.
Love the video!
Spearmint tea is INCREDIBLE iced and makes such a refreshing tea in the summer. I also find i dont need to add sweeteners to it and im not big in bitter tea/coffees without some sugar/cream. If you want to dip your toe into teas i think that would work for you
I love blending mint and chamomile for both hot and iced!
Is spearmint tea nicer than peppermint? I've tried peppermint but it tasted more 'earthy' than minty. My 2 favourite teas are Lemon with Ginger and Cranberry w Pomegranate. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Dropping the bombshell of you not having a house anymore and then just "we'll do that inn a later video" maam you're killing me
It's really cool that you got a chika product,it's sold here in PR.❤
Those 2 eye colors are amazing! I think that P Louise is the winner. Beautiful.
Im not sure if you remember the 80s 90s bubble bath called Mr. Bubble it was a big pink bottle that smelled like bubble gum 😊
So cute! P.Louise is always so nostalgic and adorable. Both these boxes are a good value. I need to subscribe to one!
I got the eye scream box because of your unboxings. The purple leaning highlight/eye shadow palette is so yummy!💙🌻
this eyescream pigment is so amazing
Ooooo I love a box battle, great to see you back in another video 🤗
I hope you enjoy the video! Have a great day!!
Oh my goodness the P.Louise box is from where I live…wow who knew because I didn’t until now. It is not well advertised
Mikala swears by it she loves P Loise!!
Hopefully this is helpful to anyone wanting to know the value of the PLouise box, the items work out to £85 total or $106.76 😊
Omg my jaw actually dropped at the cream blush palette it is ssooo cute and I love blush 😭😭 I’m dying I need it
That red shadow is to die for but you look so dang good in that blue!!
Florida slide guitar player Bill Sauce Boss Wharton plays the blues and cooks gumbo at every show. Sounded familiar to me too, so there you go!😊❤ .

I think in natural light those pigments would shift and shine beautifully ❤
That eyescream box seems like a great buy
Looks like Mr bubble
I loved the way that bronze shadow looked red through the camera! I kinda wishes it looked like that irl
I really wanted those chrome eyeshadows (especially the bronze)! Chantiko doesn’t even sell the red/bronze one in store
:( only the purple one. They’re $12 each. They look gorgeous!!
1. Need house updates ASAP bc im living my sad life vicariously through you and yeah updates!!
2. Petition to add "its so precious!" Stuff to your merch bc I'm pretty sure you say it at least 4 times a video 😂 also "Itty bitty" !!
Love your videos, they always make my day when I can watch them!
I am really like when eyeshadow pallets have the name on the spine of the pallet!!!
Those pigments are amazing over a dark base,,,I love that you are trying new colours. With or without make-up you are gorgeous.💛💛
That red eye look looks fantastic! Really love it ❤️
My go to tea as someone who typically doesn’t like tea is a hibiscus tea with a little bit of sugar

Hi Alexandria I love watching you and your unboxings. I canceled all my boxes after years so I am living vicariously. I was just wondering where your glasses are from. I love that shape and have been having a hard time finding it!
I'm a huge fan of red eye shadow. I feel blues look better on brown eyes. I want just a bright red mascara too. lol
That multichrome red is freaking gorgeous and looks absolutely stunning on you! 😍😍😍
I’m very tempted to cancel Ipsy and try the ice cream beauty box! I’ll give Ipsy one or two months but that’s it! I also get the p Louise box and this one was one of my favorites!
❤ almost everything in that eyescream beauty box! Im so so very sad im missing out😢 but... Girl! That looks GORGEOUS on your eyes !!!! 🥰
Multichromes look best under diffuse light, so those loose pigments would be perfect for a rainy day!
I love the ladybug mug 😊
If you aim your light at the wall or ceiling, you can bounce a more diffused light back at yourself.

I liked the eyescream the best, but they are both nice boxes.
I'm sipping cherry tea right now 😊
I adore P. Louise but those eye shadow shades are stunning!
Light sensitivity is a big fat pain in the butt. Looking forward to this video. Hope the puppers are doing well. Lol, ipsycharm fits

I believe I've heard that if you put those multichromes over a black eyeshadow, it pops even more. I could be wrong, though.
Oh how I wish I received that blush palette in my budget box!! I received a more muted palette. Still beautiful but I LOVE bright blushes

That red was so beautiful
Those shadows were gorgeous and I could definitely see the shifting colors!!! ❤❤
Those two eyeshadows together were beautiful and oddly looked really well with two different colors like you did.
I just ordered the eyescream box. Have to try it. Also that glow juice is amazing. FYI 😅❤

Hey, I love my eyescream box. Love that always get eyeshadow palettes....
OKAY THANK YOU!!! I thought the same thing about the contour pallet in my eyescream box.
Love,love,love that mug!!!! Want one.
I am literally watching this at 10 pm at night, what a coincidence lol. Hi from the Netherlands 😊

What was the brand of the duo eyeshadow loose pigment? I love it.
These loose pigments are amazing 😍 I don't know where I'd where them but they're so gorgeous!
If you're UK I get mine from peaches and cream
The trigeminal nerve goes in three directions and one is through your cheek. My cheek goes numb any time I have inflammation. I’d get it checked out to keep it from becoming a painful issue.
I found an herbal peach tea from Amazon that is really good, you might like it too since you love peach flavor.
