Beauty enthusiast, dreamer of dreams.
Welcome to my channel!
The majority of my content is beauty and fashion related. The main reason I started making these haul / try on videos is because even in the plus size space on RUclips, I haven't seen many if any people who are a similar size and shape as myself. since I saw a need, I wanted to fulfill that need so that people everywhere can make educated decisions about the clothes and accessories they might buy. I truly hope to help and connect with people, and inspire them to do what they love, and to not let anything hold them back from achieving their goals. Every great journey begins with a first step, but take some leaps of faith and you'll get where you want to be sooner!

Box Twins!!! I have thick hair too so I was glad to get that clip too. The lip balm has a slight metallic taste to me. I loved the paper too! You are really sweet!
@@BiancaSkogenBeauty thank you so much! I wasn’t sure if they have set mixes or if it’s truly random. Someone else getting the same box shows they make sets. Interesting
Fellow Creator giving SUPPORT. 🤗 I love the Auric Eyeshadow Duo. I would LOVE to play around with it.
I think you got a pretty good bag! That's really nice you share with friends too ❤
I think so too! It definitely could have been worse! My boyfriends family is full of makeup enthusiasts so there’s always someone who will use anything I get which is nice 🥰
That was a nice box!
Thank you ❤️🥰
Not a bad box 👍🏼
Thank you! It could have been worse so I’ll take what I got! Lol 🥰
What a great box. Enjoy.
Thank you! I am!
You are such a nice person, lovely. Fun to watch, good box 😃
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Very nice! 👍
Thank you so much! 🥰
Mine was dreadful, was off the $300 value mark by $20. I wonder if they missed an item in mine. 🤔
Oh wow, I’m so sorry! I’d reach out to customer support if I were you because that’s a big discrepancy from the promised value.
I'm so glad you liked your box and will use most of the products. If you are curious what I got my unboxing is up! ❤
I’ll go check it out now!
I watched alot of unboxing for 2024 Lucky Bags and YOU WON BIG TIME😅.
You are very very very very very very very very very very beautiful
Thank you for this video. I love OfAspen and have ordered multiple pen packs from them. I just ordered a larger mystery box and while I wait I watched your video.
I love them too! This was my first experience with the stationary mystery packs but I have also ordered the pen packs before! I will definitely be ordering again!
You lucked out!!! The make up brushes holy hell!!!! Also the Natasha Denona palette is beautiful! They have a bigger Natasha palette for in the hundreds rage! Also the eye gel is really good! I love the gloss too
Thank you I am very excited about my things 🥰🥰
I would be so thrilled to get a Sonia G brush set in my box! 💜 you got one of the best boxes i saw.
Omg I would have died for those brushes 😱😱🤯🤯🤯
Hi Monica new to your channel you received a great box love the ND palette and the brushes, I ordered the $75 box and it was just ok. TFS 😊
Aww I'm sorry! If you choose to get one next year, I wish you all of the luck 🥰 thank you for stopping by!
I’ll gladly take those brushes off your hands lmao
Wow you got an amazing bag!! All those Sonia G brushes!!! The weight of the box never indicates how good the box will be.
Agreed, I was just making an observation and wondering what would be in there for it to be as light as it was 😊
I have not received my box, I hope I get lucky and get those brushes, anyone gets these brushes and would like to trade or sell them please let me know, thank you❤
There are Facebook groups where people buy and sell subscription box items, you should look into them :) you can post an ISO (in search of) to let everyone know what you're looking for and if anyone has it they will comment or message you with how much they want for it :)
Wow, definitely one of the best lucky boxes I’ve seen in years!
Hey! I just found your channel. You definitely got lucky. You got some of the top name brands so that’s awesome 🤩. The ND palette is cheaper because it’s a bit older now and I don’t think there is a huge high demand for that particular one anymore. I have it and it’s beautiful 😍. I have a lot of ND palettes. Her newer one are soooo expensive. Viseart is a good brand as well. I have a couple but only because they were on sale lol. CT I’m gonna be truthful here and say I have tried her eyeshadows and I’m not a fan. I got a couple different quad palettes and to me it’s not worth that price. I’m use to ND, Huda Beauty, PMG and Ofra! Those are my top ones and now I’m dabbling into some indie brands and I’m really loving them. The good molecules brand is a beauty list brand. There is always something from that brand in every mystery box lol. I really think you should practice with those beautiful green ND colours. I think by looking at your eyes the greens will make your eyes pop. Now when you said Sonya G I actually swore out loud lol. I would love to get that set. OMG 😱 everyone else is getting one random Sonya G brush in their boxes lol. I’m so happy for you 😊! Congratulations 🎉 you really did get a lucky box. I subscribed to your channel ♥️
Thank you! You're very sweet 🥰 I have SO MUCH eyeshadow but none that are the tier of Natasha Denona, it will be my first time using hers so I'm VERY excited to have gotten a full size of her palette! What you said about it being older and less in demand makes sense, because I could have sworn her eyeshadow was like $120 for a palette. Either way I am thrilled to have it. There is a nice trio of pinks in it that I can use, and some brown shades that I can pair with the shimmers. The blues will get some use, I just have to figure out how to make it look best on me lol 😂 I don't want to walk around looking like a lady of the night 😂😂😂 I appreciate your comment 🥰
OMG, a whole Sonia G brush set?!?! I hope I get that bag! Extra lucky! Mine comes tomorrow. 🤞
I wish you all of the luck!!! I hope you get great things 🥰
Wow as a makeup lover, I would be over the moon about this Box everything you got was good
I am too! I was thrilled about the palettes to start with, the hesitancy came from finding out the brushes were real animal hair, but since finding out they're ethically sourced from naturally shed hair, I feel a lot better about it and am very happy about my box as a whole!!
@@theunusuallifeofmonica I do not blame you. I would not touch a brush that was not ethically sourced either. by the way, I didn’t mean that you didn’t love your box. I was just saying that I loved your box. You got a great box. You have to let us know how the Sonia G brushes are worth that much money.
$250 that’s just bullshit you know they’re not worth that you can get those brushes at half price at TJ Maxx or less as of most of the make up there it just makes me mad when the beauty boxes do these things!
From what I've gathered the value lies in the fact that they're ethically sourced real hair and wood, and from what I've been told they're made by special artisans. People are saying they're amazing brushes so I'm excited to see what the hype is about when I use them 🥰🥰🥰
Holy cow I wouldn’t know what to do with half of those brushes😂 I just feel like Duke duty boxes these days are not what they used to be! I think you might’ve got ripped off! But thank you for all you do you’re a fun channel
Same 🤣 I do know how to use the brushes but I'm the kind of person that uses like 3 brushes and that's it. I have one that I use to put the actual eyeshadow down, one for adding color to the outer corners, and a third for doing under my lashes, the inner corner of my eye, and my brow bone highlight. I know I will get use out of the blending brushes at least because I use that kind of brush to lay down eyeshadow. I'll probably use the small pencil brush for under my lash line and the one I called a flat shader for the outer corners but idk what to do with the rest of them. I guess that's part of the fun of it, figuring out new ways to apply makeup you maybe hadn't thought of before! 🥰
You hit the jackpot with those brushes! I am excited when I get one of those brushes getting the set would have made my year. They are Fabulous! I already own the ND pallet and have a few of her pallets because they are great! The Viseart pallet is another good one to receive. I am sorry you don’t like your box. Most of us would have LOVED it.
I actually love my box! I was very put off by the fact that the brushes were animal hair until I was told the hair is ethically sourced, that's where a lot of the lack of interest came from, I don't believe animals should be hurt for the sake of vanity but to know they're not, makes a huge difference in how I feel about my box now vs in the video 🥰
@@theunusuallifeofmonica I agree with you when it comes to animals. Our family has always had fur babies that we fiercely protect. I can see your concern. I am happy to hear you will enjoy those fabulous products.
They know damn well nobody pays $150 hoping for mystery scrunchies 😒
😂😂 agreed but I think they threw a few low value items in just to bump the item count up since the other stuff in the box was very expensive, I'll find a use for them so it's fine!
What a great box, mine arrives Wednesday, I would be so happy with that box! Glad people commented to let you know how the Sonia G brushes are related/made, you will love them! Have a great day!
I hope you get great things in your box too! Thank you, I am very excited to own the brushes now 🥰🥰🥰
😂this was great
It’s fun watching someone who’s clueless about brands & pricing doing an unboxing……😂❤
We often forget there's a difference between perceived value and intrinsic value. In the end it's all goo and powder. You just hope it's goo and powder you like to use.
To be fair, I'm not ~completely~ clueless, it just so happened that the things I got were things I wasn't familiar with. I own more makeup than any human should and know quite a bit about mid tier makeup like too faced, urban decay, Anastasia Beverly hills, etc, and drugstore brands like morphe, revolution, colour pop, etc. it's the high end stuff that I really don't know what im looking at 🥺 I've never been in a financial position to consider spending half a paycheck on a set of brushes so things like that go over my head until I do the research lol
Holy crap!!!!!!!! Best Box I’ve seen! Those brushes 😳 Wow!
I am very disappointed that I didn’t buy the $150 dll for the mystery box instead of the $75 next time I will not doubt it I will pay $180 dollars just to get the Sonia G brushes because I own all the ND eyeshadow palettes and I think 🤔 that I have the duo blush so I don’t know what to expect for my $75 mystery box because last year I bought the Wayne Goss mystery box and I got the same lip gloss that you got He has good eyeshadow palettes but hopefully I won’t get repetitive makeup on my mystery box 📦 fingers crossed 🤞🏻 you got a 5⭐️ mystery box!
I hope you get good things in your box! If you do get the bigger one next year I hope you get exactly what you're hoping for too 🥰
20:45 Girl you have me cracking up over here 😂😂😂 this was hands down my favorite Lucky Bag unboxing I've EVER watched!! I am going to share this with everyone and cross my fingers that it goes viral!! Absolute pure and utter shock from you and it was obviously genuine!! Xoxo
Thank you! You're so sweet 😭 I had no idea what I was looking at and when I couldn't find the word that was printed on the labels in Google I really thought they were just off brand brushes until I saw the name on the handle and was able to find the set. When I saw the price I had to triple check it was the same set because I was like... AINT NO WAY! 😂 Lol
Hello Monica! Congrats on snagging a lucky bag for the first time! I will say, you may be in trouble! Because you got some of the very best brands, none of which you have tried before... and now, you might just fall in love with them, and start buying their products 😂😂 they ARE all pretty expensive and in my opinion, all WORTH IT!! 🥰
Honestly SAME I tend to have expensive taste and getting the good stuff will just exacerbate the need to buy quality stuff 😭 I have a feeling it's going to be one of those things where I didn't know what I was missing because I had nothing to compare what I DO have to, but now I do lol
Your box was extremely lucky. I would be thrilled with that box. 💜
OMG! You get one of the most LUCKIEST bags this year! Really amazing! 🤩 congratulations ❤
You got an extra lucky bag, trust me! I only received one Sonia G. brush and one palette in my box.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Holy Smokes you got a really good box! Those Sonja G brushes? I’m jealous 😂
Your box is SPECTACULAR! I hope you end up loving the Sonia G brushes. I’ve bought all her brushes and they never disappoint. Her brand is top notch and as an owner she’s an absolute sweetheart not to mention incredibly knowledgeable about these hand crafted works of art! I really hope you enjoy your items. You got one of the very best boxes I’ve ever seen! 🎉
Wow shipping was super fast! The eye gel looks good.
This is a really nice box! Vicariously living through the youtubers out here while my package is experiencing delays
Your brush set is amazing. Too of line qualitt. I own all Sonia G brushes. Your very LUCKY!!
Wow that box was a great box, I didn’t realise Sonia G brushes were made with animal hair, I just couldn’t use them knowing that . I’d probably sell them if I got this box and didn’t want those brushes .
I had the same thoughts but I have learned since posting this that all of the hair is collected when it is naturally shed. I would NOT be ok with them if animals were getting hurt just for us to put powder on our face. So if you do get some, from what I know now, they're ethical :)
Looks we both got Lucky 🍀 I received the exact same 📦 Those Sonia G brushes alone paid for it!! Starting off the New Year right👍🏾
This is the BEST box!💜
You hit the jackpot
They never do previews, the only thing is I’ve seen in past years people getting brush sets….thats amazing!
I would suggest next year just opting for the regular bag if you're not really invested in "brand value," which having ordered both the regular and XL, I can say the XL relies on more than the smaller one. The smaller price tag can definitely limit disappointment if you don't find everything "amazing"
I am thrilled with my bag, as I said in a few other comments, I was taken aback that over half of the over all value was in one item, I had never heard of that brand before, AND the worst part was finding out it was real animal hair. I was very put off because I had worst case scenarios in my head about animals being hurt for our vanity, BUT someone in the comments informed me that the hair in collected when it is naturally shed, which made ALL the difference in how I feel about them. I am now thrilled to own such fancy brushes. Also, I ordered the big box because I was hoping for high end things like Natasha Denona and Viseart, both of which I got, I just had not heard of the brush brand before. If i get the opportunity to buy another box it will be the XL again.
