BoxyCharm: Three Month Subscription Plan
So I subscribed to BoxyCharm on June 27, 2018. There were two reasons I subscribed for the three month plan. One, I saved a tiny bit of money comparatively to the usual 21 USD per month. Two, I felt that just getting it for one month would not be a fair shot towards BoxyCharm.

Being a Consumer in the Beauty Space
I have been an avid fan of the beauty community on Youtube since the age of 9. I would sit in my bed on my old and rusty MacBook laptop and watch juicystar07 and macbarbie07 on repeat. This is not an exaggeration. I was so invested in their lives. Not only their lives, but the things they spoke about. Blair Fowler liked an Urban Decay purple eyeshadow? Guess who was begging their mom to take them to Sephora that weekend to spend their birthday money? Me. I did, without even being old enough to wear it. Back then, everything was being done for the first time. All the influencers could be using the same eyeshadows and doing the same brown smokey eyes, but nobody cared, because nobody knew any different.

Read and you will quickly find it out.

Toxic Beauty Treatments from the Past
Although beauty standards across time and space may differ drastically, every culture at every time has held some beliefs and practices regarding beauty. And while standards and preferences may change, even to their own opposites, one thing remains the same: people are willing to do some crazy things in the name of beauty. From leeches to lead, nightshade to radiation poisoning, toxic beauty treatments have been a health hazard to women - and men - for eons. And don't think just because we're in the 21st century now, that personal care products don't still sometimes have dangerous long-term effects...

If links are missing for some, then the palettes still have not been released on online stores. I was going to write a whole article about colourpop’s collaboration with Disney, but I got lazy. But it’s on number 11 and a bit long. I skim edit rarely, so mistakes are likely.
