Purrfectly Villainous is a blacked purple shimmer.

Disclosure: I received this in exchange for a review, all opinions are my own. Find out more information here.

Hey, y'all! I have something a little different to share with y'all today. Today I have for July's Polish Pickup (Rewind), the R&P Jewelry 4mm Opal Ring! This is a picture heavy post so sit back and enjoy a gorgeous ring. This is capped at 50 and will be $15. It only comes in a size 8.

I missed out on this the first time it dropped in Polish Pickup so when the maker reached out to me and asked me to review it for this month, I was thrilled!

What is Notoriously Morbid Mystic Monthly?: Mystic Monthly is a new monthly subscription from Notoriously Morbid featuring the legendary Mystic Mattes liquid lipsticks. Each year has a theme (2020 is Mythical and Mystical Creatures) and each month comes with one full-size limited-edition Mystic Matte and one additional full-size lip product.

You Better Run is a bright pink with purple-to-red color shifting shimmer, purple pearl and neon pink micro flakies, and a subtle holographic finish.

What is the Create With Pen Monthly Bundle?: The Create With Pen Monthly Bundle actually has a few options. You can choose the Deco Kit (which is what I receive), the Vertical Kit (in physical or digital download), or the Combo Kit which includes both of the kits in a bundle. Subscriptions are open from the 22nd to the 3rd of each month.

How Much is the Create With Pen Monthly Bundle?: The Deco Kit is $11.50, the Vertical Kit is $15 for the Physical and $12 for the Digital, and the Combo Kit is $24.00. Shipping is not included and was $3.00 for the Deco Kit.

The theme was Mermaids, which I had to sign up for.

Back with another Ipsy bag. The subscription I just can't quit.

The Tide is High is a cobalt blue base with color shifting aurora that shifts from pink to gold to green.

It's another Makeup Monday! Today I have Hey Glisten Pigments to share with you. This is the Pink Pigment set. These are currently still available for $18 for all four and they do include a sifter which I love.

I tried to be all artsy, which almost always fails.

What is Pandora's Box of Indie Obsessions?: Pandora's Box is a monthly purchase, rather that a subscription, filled with indie products. You must purchase before the 15th of the month to receive the following month's box.

How Much is Pandora's Box of Indie Obsessions?: Pandora's Box is $25 plus $5 shipping (US) and tax (if applicable).

This bag was packed.

Cosmic Dust is a subtle multichrome with a matching shimmer that shifts in color from red-violet, to magenta, to dark red-orange.

Hi, everyone! Hope your week has been going well. I've been struggling with my mental health and regular health. That being said, I wanted a fun polish to look at and share with you and this was in the front of my mind! I'm not sure if this is still available in stores because I found it quite a while ago, but you might be able to find it online!

Tiers of Joy is a periwinkle blue nail polish with lilac iridescence.

Owl Nebula is a teal base with a strong teal to purple to green shift and a micro holographic sparkle.

This Makeup Monday, I wanted to share a palette that I bought a while back but haven't gotten the chance to review. It's the Come As You Are palette by Karity and it's actually still available and currently on sale for $22! This palette is based on the 90's Grunge/Counter Culture that occurred and I'm here for it. I was born in 92 but I was raised by someone that was engrossed in the lifestyle so I resonate with it more than my own time (except for my emo stage, I'm still somewhat in that).

The palette is a 15 pan palette with mattes and shimmers and an awesome mirror!

What is it?: FabFitFun is a quarterly subscription box that includes beauty, wellness, fashion, and fitness, all in one box! It's quarterly, so you get four big boxes a year! It's a great way to start each season off right with what's new and fun. 

How Much is it?: It's $49.99/quarter or $179.99/year.  

Yep, I'm back with FabFitFun. I go back and forth so much and while an annual membership would save me some money, I have never taken all four boxes in a year.

The Lone Heir is a multichrome shimmer shifting from red to violet.

These Trolli eggs were weird. It tasted like sour worms but kinda off. I'd eat more, but I'm still not sold on loving them.

Mystic Maiden is a deep teal base with orange/red and green/blue chameleon flakes.

Okay, so we're back with a Sephora bag. I know the last review in February I said it was my last, but hear me out. It's not a subscription anymore! And you get to see what's in each bag before you buy, so it's like the old Luxe bags/boxes but cheaper! This was $10 but you do have to pay shipping if you don't have Flash ($5.95). You also get a 15% off coupon for any of the full-size items included in the bag.

I swore I was done with you, Sephora, and you dragged me back.

The Siren's a Callin is a navy blue with silver holo microglitter, fine turquoise shimmer, aqua shimmer, and turquoise glass flecks. 

Back for another Makeup Monday! I used to get the Aromaleigh Cosmetics subscription when it was a thing and I really miss it. Aromaleigh does these gorgeous wearable shades (read neutrals and less bold) and I still use my shadows from my Ephemera bags!

The Betrayal Quad is still available for purchase.

There are no descriptions of these shadows so I'm working off of what the website shows to describe. You'll see why when I get into the review.

What is Penspiration?: Penspiration is a monthly subscription by Cloth & Paper where you receive 4-6 pens and pencils from brands that Cloth & Paper carries. Pens & pencils vary from gel, rollerball, ballpoint, brush pens, mechanical, wood, and more.

How Much is Penspiration?: Penspiration is $18.00, but you can lower the cost if you sign up for a longer subscription. There is a discount if you sign up for Penspiration and The Planner Stationary Box.

On to another month of pens. It's just so fun to get new and different pens to try out!

I admit, I signed up because I saw spoilers and wanted this ring so badly.

I randomly found this brand on Sephora a little while ago and I couldn't pass it up. Even though the bottle shape isn't really my thing, I loved what was in the bottles enough to let that go! This polish is available in a duo here!

Dream Dust is described as a 3D High Sparkle and is a warm-toned pink with gold sparkles and a gold shimmer.

Some of the links below are referral links, this means I get points from ipsy if you subscribe using my link. Find out more info here.

So bright!

Cancer is a cool-toned grey creme.

I'm back with another Makeup Monday! This is an order that I made a few weeks ago on $2, which is where the singles came from! I decided this was the perfect time to try out Copacetic Cosmetics and ended up grabbing a palette as well!
