I Bought A $2000 Makeup Mystery Box From An INFLUENCER!

MYSTERY UNBOXING IS BACK! I spent $2000 on a makeup mystery box from a popular INFLUENCER. It was filled with PR, new makeup, old makeup, and a few crazy items as well... but for once... the makeup look wasn't that bad. ENJOY!

I can’t believe you purchased an actual Mystery Makeup box from an influencer (you know of) who got everything for FREE but charged you $2,000 I have a couple influencers who have gifted me their PR and I’ve asked “can I please pay you” and they said”Lauren I would never ask you to pay for free PR it’s so unethical” that is hilarious 😂 you called her out! I want to know who it is! You are literally the only person I’ve watched that’s been able to get the new Refy mascara to work well on your upper lashes! I bought it couldn’t make it work and come to find out it’s a mascara for your lower lashes! Everything is brand new all the “OG Products like the Too Faced hangover primer was just sent out to a bunch of creators and the Ardell eyebrow gel isn’t even out yet 🤭 This was a super fun one to watch!

@@AyushiMehra-te4qr I know what you mean, but to me, i think it's wrong that she's profitting so much off of this. she could easily give them away for free or if she wants to sell them, maybe reduce the price a bit. I just don't think $2k is justifiable for FREE products
