It’s been a long time since I’ve purchased nail polish. After years with Julep, I really have a lot of nail polish and I don’t really need more. Honestly, I probably have a lifetime of polish to work through. So I’ve been really proud of myself for putting a stop to my Julep subscription and […] Read more…

Makeup On My Mind… The Makeup Wish List Tag
I saw this tag originally recorded by Lauren Mae Beauty, and I thought it was so much fun, that I wanted to blog about it as well. The tag was originally created by a YouTuber named DreaCN, and her video is here. But as I was watching the video, I immediately texted Jill the questions […] Read more…
Play! By Sephora: PLAY! SMARTS: Skincare By Age: 40s
Sephora is really killing it with these PLAY! SMARTS boxes. They seem to be coming out monthly now, which is pretty cool. These are boxes you can buy without a subscription, but they are more expensive than the regular boxes as they tend to include bigger and higher-priced products. This month, they came out with […] Read more…
Lauren’s Trash – Would I Buy Again? Part 2 | Empties Summer 2018
Today is a special day because it’s the four-year anniversary of Boxy Ladies! I honestly can’t believe we have kept it up this long. I think both Jill and I fully expected this phase would end after a few months, but somehow, we’ve kept it up for FOUR YEARS. It’s a lot of work, but […] Read more…

I think I did much better about saving my trash this time around, because I have… a lot of it. So much of it that I think it will take at least two blogs to actually get through it all. It’s a lot, y’all. As a reminder, my Empties/Trash blogs are where I save all […] Read more…

Editor’s Note: I’m writing this blog during my fantasy football draft, so please excuse any errors that may be the result of carelessness or beer. The editor needs an editor. Oh well. YOLO! I’ve seen a few YouTube videos going around where people are discussing their very first Sephora purchases, starting with Thetaylaa and then […] Read more…
Lauren’s Ulta 21 Days Of Beauty Sale Recommendations! | Boxy-Ladies
A few weeks ago, I discussed my recommendations for the Sephora VIB Appreciation Sale (or whatever Sephora was calling it) and in a week or so, I’ll share my reviews on the products I ended up buying. In that blog, I mentioned how Sephora is clearly trying to keep up with Ulta, since they clearly […] Read more…
Lauren’s Sephora VIB Sale Recommendations!!! Fall 2018
Surprise! Sephora decided to mix it up on us and have another sale! Historically, they only have TWO sales a year: one in the Spring and one in November, right before Christmas. Depending on your Beauty Insider status, normally you get a bit more of a discount during the November sale. (For VIB’s and VIB […] Read more…

Lauren’s Lil Sephora (and Ulta) Birthday Haul
For my recent 36th birthday, I was lucky enough to receive a Sephora gift card from my parents, so I bought a few things. Separately, but around the same time, I placed a small order at Ulta for National Lipstick Day, so I decided to blog about both! Read more…
