Little Boxx

While we can never get enough of beauty products, there is something really satisfying about de-cluttering our makeup bag.

And that’s exactly what Canadian-made Boxx Cosmetics offers: an ingenious solution to purge and simplify. Two modular designs, “boxx” ($59) and “milli box” ($12), let us mix and match all our favourite creams and powders in one convenient package. In my “milli box”: the smoothing Cream Corrector ($26) and the mango butter formulated Lipshine in Braith ($23) for daytime; for nighttime, the velvety fuchsia red Lipcolor in Aki ($24.50), that also doubles as a cheek colour.

So, that tiny clutch I had in mind for all the holiday galas? No worries, everything will fit. —Anya Georgijevic
