As someone who suffers from seizures and knows the hell that a disease like epilepsy can put, not only on the person with the disorder, but their whole family, I wanted to share the following information: Today, March 26th, is worldwide epilepsy awareness day, also known as Purple Day . A day where people wear purple in support of this cause!  What to do more? There are many local charity events and walks going on worldwide in support of Purple Day , which can be found here .  So, going with the purple theme, here is a make up and accessory look dedicated to the cause, for this special, purple day!

If you still haven't subscribed to  Starlook 's  Starbox , for $15/ month, December is defiantly the month to do so! The December Starbox includes the 15 shade eyeshadow pallet below, valued at $99, which you can get on back order  here  for $25, while supplies last!!! As you can see there are some very unique colors, including an actual red, which is a rare shade for sure. There are mattes and shimmery shades, so there is something for everyone and every occasion! As you can always expect from Starlooks, the eyeshadows are highly pigmented and blendable! With all these great colors you are sure to be able to create all kinds of new fun holiday looks! Below is a look I call winter wonderland. I used a silver eyeliner to line my upper and lower lids then used the light shimmer blue on my lids and the dark shimmer blue in the crease. This isn't exactly a holiday look, she wanted a "jungle girl" look. So she decided she wanted gold, green, and blue. So

Mia Mariu Perfecting Finish mineral foundation in  Vainilla is FABULOUS!!!!  I don't think I'll ever use another foundation in my life! It's light, covers as well as a concealer, but blends perfectly with you skin tone.   Mia Mariu Hydrating Stick Gloss in  Capricho is my new go-to lip stick! It's a gorgeous shade, it smells like cappuccino, and it keeps my lips soft and moisturized like a great chap-stick would!   Before: with no foundation (just Garnier B.B. Cream & Starbox lipstick ) After: with Mia Mariu Perfecting Finish mineral foundation in  Vainilla &  Mia Mariu Hydrating Stick Gloss in  Capricho ( eyes from Starbox ) Don't forget to check Mia Mariu online at the links provided in this post to see all the other amazing products this amazing company offers!

If you are in the market for a subscription box, I highly recommend Starlooks' Starbox.  This is the second one I've received and I have really liked both of them! You can check out the review of August's box here .  You get 3-4 (or actually this time it was 6+) good quality, FULL-SIZED products sent to your door every month for only $15... can't go wrong there!
