What is Out of the Box Beauty? Chit Chat

Hi Fellow Mermaids & Mermen,

I just wanted to get on here today to explain what Out of the Box Beauty is and what I hope to accomplish from this blog. Out of the Box Beauty represents all types of beauty and its goal it for The Mermaid Clan to accept and appreciate our own beauty for what it is. And for this place to be a place of positivity and encouragement to continue to love ourselves for what we are and what we have to offer this world. Yes this blog does have a focus on makeup but for myself makeup isn't to cover up my beauty. But instead makeup is inspiring and fun. Makeup is art. It doesn't matter if you're doing a simple everyday, bright and fun, smokey night out or a costume theatrical it is all art to me. Everyday we can wake up and transform ourselves to any type of woman or man that we want to become. To me that is very powerful.

Out of the Box Beauty is a place where all Beauty is Celebrated! It doesn't matter what flaws you think you have You are Beautiful, Special and Unique.

I have put off creating this place for several years because I was worried that I would not be good enough or would not receive a positive response. But when I finally decided that this platform is much bigger than me. If there is a chance that someone that is feeling bad about themselves or feels not good enough and comes across this platform and it changes their day for the better or creates a positive personal outlook . All the time I have put into this is well worth it. Not only do I want to talk about makeup on this blog I want The Mermaid Clan to be able to encourage and inspire one another.

I would love to continue these random Chit Chat sessions with y'all! What topics would you like to see? Comment below and let me know

The Masquerade Palette By Juvia's Place

Hi Fellow Mermaids,

I have a very exciting review for you. This the first in depth review for Out of the Box Beauty!!
But also what makes this review exciting is that this product is unique and affordable and I personally feel has a little bit of something for every one. Doesn't matter if your a neutral girl or love wild and bright looks this palette appeals to everyone! And to add the cherry on top it is a great price for us mermaids on a budget. OK!! So let get to the fun part the makeup<3

When I found Juvia's Place it was thru Instagram which I'll link here https://www.instagram.com/juviasplace/

The very first thing that attracted me to the brand was the packaging.

When I look at this packaging I think of a Strong Beautiful Queen. Which I feel is very empowering and different form other brands that I have seen, very Out of the Box. The day this palette released I immediately went to the site to purchase it. When I saw that it was roughly $30 with shipping I was concerned about quality because the palette comes with 16 eyeshadows which is about $2 per shadow. The shipping was very quick I received it within a week. The palette was packaged every nicely in the box as well.

Now when I opened the palette I was so pleasantly surprised and started playing with it right way.
Here are pictures of the palette and swatches of all the colors Top to Bottom, Left to Right.

Chi- Royal Blue

Mali- Green

Dalia- Electric Blue

Zola-Sea Blue 

Second Row

Makeda- Purple Shimmer 

Zobo- Maroon Matte

Calabar-Maroon Shimmer

Bori- Reddish Pink Matte Color Mixed with Gold Shimmer

Third Row

Burkina : Brown Matte 

Cairo: Matte Orange Mixed with Gold Shimmer

Ada: Brick reddish brown

Fourth Row

Dahila : Beige Shimmer

Zulu : Dark Orange Matte

Casablanca: Gold Shimmer 

Fulani: Darker Brown

I have used every single shade in the platte on my eyes. I have one a neutral look and a very bright fun look. The only shade that I had issues with was Makeda (the Purple on the second row) it was very difficult to pack it on the lid and get the full pigmentation. But I did try it smoked out on the lower lash line and it was so beautiful. And just be aware that the shade Bori when swatched is very chunky in feeling due to the glitter but this was on of my favorites on the lid. The glitter did not fall out on my face at all. Also the shade Giza is an amazing inner corner highlight of the eye. But also as a cheek bone highlight. The Egyptian Gods will see you coming!

I am overall very happy and impressed with this pallets and the creativity of this brand.Which is why I had to do this review as my first one on Out of the Box Beauty!
