Several people love to have a new collection of a variety of cosmetics. These makeup lovers are very touchy about their collections and the products they love. The cosmetic boxes Wholesale are available in various shapes and designs according to the product you want to store.

People love to own sleek packages. Also, these cosmetics are extremely fragile. Also, you need to keep them in the perfect place where they cannot be destroyed easily.
Why Do Cosmetics Break?
The glass packages look elegant, but there is a high risk of damage. There are multiple reasons behind the breakage of these makeup bottles and palettes. Furthermore, if you have ever dropped your favorite eyeshadow palette or foundation bottle, you will know how heartbroken you felt after losing it. Moreover, one of the reasons behind the breakage and falling of these boxes is that you do not place them in the right place.
The boxes are useful in the protection of the product. Do not throw the box after opening the product. Always keep your product in the package to save it from any damage. These boxes are made to protect cosmetics. Furthermore, these boxes are purpose friendly. Do not expect the same protection from ordinary packaging. These boxes are not made to serve the purpose.
Features Of a Quality Wholesale Cosmetics Box:
Moreover, certain features ensure the quality of the packaging. Perfect, it is meant that it provides maximum safety to the product. Also, you can take another meaning from the perfect. A perfect box provides all the optimal conditions for the product. No one will be glad to buy a melted and broken makeup product. Furthermore, cosmetics need a specific temperature and pressure to remain in usable condition.
It is the feature of good packaging that provides the optimal conditions for the product for a better experience. Makeup products are similar to pharmaceutical products. They require extra maintenance and certain optimal conditions to perform well. Hence, a good quality package provides all the required features. The following features are crucial in cosmetics boxes.
The Interlocking of Edges of The Wholesale Cosmetics Boxes
Transportation and shipping include high risk. Fragile products like skincare products or makeup articles need extra care to be safely and securely delivered. Certain features are crucial in cosmetic boxes.
These boxes must have an interlocking ability. Furthermore, interlocking is the design of packaging in which both edges of the box are interlocked. It is because it inhibits the unintended opening or spilling of the product. Moreover, ensure that you include this feature in your packaging. Otherwise, you will have to face severe loss during the hazards of shipping and transportation.
The Wholesale Cosmetic Boxes Should Be Strong
Furthermore, these makeup products are available in multiple forms. We have liquid makeup, cream makeup as well as water-based makeup products. These products require security and protection according to their needs.
The liquid makeup needs more care while shipping than the hard makeup like stick foundations etc. Sometimes, these boxes are made sturdy by using padding and lamination. Moreover, lamination makes these boxes water and moisture-resistant. Also, it helps to keep the product safe from moisture and humidity.
You Can Glamorize the Packaging Through Custom Designs:
Customization is one of the best opportunities to make the packaging stand out from the rest. Moreover, customized packaging has benefited cosmetics brands in various ways. You might have observed that thousands of brands are available in cosmetics stores. But you never feel difficulty in finding your favorite brand.
Also, this is due to the packaging of the products. This packaging becomes the trademark of the brand. Hence, people can easily identify their required articles without any difficulty. Do not compromise on the quality of the packaging. Moreover, there is a little investment that you will put in the packaging, and it will boost your profit by leaps and bounds.

I can stand with my head held high on the frontlines and on the front row in Paris, knowing that I have the support of my community. May we continue to be, as former President Barack Obama once said about Reverend Al Sharpton, ‘a voice for the voiceless and a champion for the downtrodden’.”

Four years ago, the world was formally introduced to the soulful, alluring voice that is singer-songwriter Tems. When the clip for “Essence” featuring Wizkid lit up our screens, the whole world fell hard for her talent and unique look! So much so to the point of catching the interest of brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Reebok for global campaigns and posing picture perfect on the front covers of GQ Hype and The Sunday Times Style.
So, despite her captivating gaze over those signature sunnies, what makes up Tems’ sense of style? Fashion Bomb Daily took a deep dive in exploration of her fashion evolution over the last few years, and here’s what we found has changed:

No superstar wardrobe is complete without the guidance and consultation of a good stylist. From tomboy to glam girl, Tems has been working closely with Dunsin Wright, who also happens to be the Head of PR for luxury African brand Lisa Folawiyo. Together they’ve curated a laidback, effortlessly edgy visual representation for the vocal powerhouse that speaks to her love for the casual and comfortable whilst all the more elevated and feminine. While a previous Tems would gravitate towards oversized silhouettes, layering pieces and muted tones, today she continuously takes us by surprise with just a few aesthetic adjustments.
1. Lace and sheers
You ask, we answer! Just this week, Instagram user @nnennabenz asked, “Hi!! I am wondering where Tems got this amazing body suit from??”
Tems recently performed at the Global Citizen concert in Ghana wearing a custom lace jumpsuit by BRIELLE. This is just one example of how she often incorporates sheer textiles to her current closet!
If that saturated blue wasn’t enough to put Tems’ new found love for color on your radar, get into this rich green overlay! We’ve noticed that colors are gradually getting brighter and more frequent with Tems as she continues to evolve.

3. Embracing her feminine side
She may not be one to bear all the skin at once, but Tems does femininity her own way. Lace and sheers are one thing, and now we’re seeing the rising star take it further wearing more and more dresses, and at times, more form-fitted silhouettes to show off her gorgeous curves! This custom pleated Robert Wun number was a whole moment.

We’re increasingly seeing more Afrobeats artists making fashion their means of forging an identity, statement and buzz! What do you think?
What we love about Moissanite is its dazzling brilliance and remarkable sparkle. That’s what drew people to diamonds first of all. When Moissanite came on the scene, many jewelry fans moved quickly to Moissanite. There are lots of reasons for this. One is the fact that Moissanite is a gorgeous stone in its own right. It’s not a substitute—it’s not an imitation. Moissanite is a beautiful stand-alone gem with a remarkable story behind it. It’s also more dispersive than diamonds while being equally as hard as natural diamonds. Dispersion is another term for ‘fire’ in the stone. It shows up in how the stone breaks up light into all the colors of the rainbow. So, your Moissanite ring displays exciting flashes of colors found in the rainbow. making it a mesmerizing choice for engagement rings and bridal jewelry.
Fall in Love with Moissanite
The first time you put your Moissanite ring on—you fell in love with the one you gave it to you all over again. You also fell in love with this dazzling stone which is everything you ever dreamed of.
There’s another benefit to Moissanite that we haven’t mentioned yet. Its price. For all it’s spectacular allure, Moissanite is far less expensive than its counterpart in the natural diamond world. Far. Less. Expensive. Turns out you can have your cake and eat it too! You’ve done very well selecting a Moissanite for your most meaningful ring.
When you first put the ring on, it was pristine and perfect in every way. But you will be wearing it every day for the rest of your life. You won’t ever want to take it off. We get that! We wouldn’t either.
Establish a Simple Cleaning Routine
So, now’s the time to establish a reliable cleaning method so you can keep your ring dazzlingly bright and sparkly forever. After all, a Moissanite ring needs regular care like your other fine jewelry to keep it in top shape. A spotlessly clean Moissanite ring will reflect light better than a dingy one. A clean stone allows all its fire to be on full display. Did you know that your super clean Moissanite looks even larger than the same ring that has gone dull by grime and normal everyday activities like using soaps and cosmetics?
An advantage of Moissanite over diamonds is that it does not have the same affinity for attracting grease and oil. That being said, it is still advisable to clean your jewelry once a month to keep them sparkling as brilliantly as possible.
Getting accustomed to a simple cleaning routine will have a major impact on how your Moissanite jewelry will continue looking showroom new for years to come.
A Simple Detergent Soak
This is easy enough. Simply fill a small bowl with warm sudsy water. Actually, any mild liquid dish detergent will do the trick. Make sure it does not contain normal soap products. That would create another kind of film coating the surface of your Moissanite.
A bit of caution here. We do not recommend that you use any abrasive cleaner on your Moissanite or your other fine jewelry. These types of products can do more harm than good. With a mild warm solution using a soft baby toothbrush, gently brush along all edges of the item, being sure to get in the hard-to-reach areas of the setting—and on the underside of the Moissanite stones. Rinse well in clear tepid water. Dry on a clean lint free towel. You may use a handheld hair dryer on the warm setting to finish drying your piece.
A Cold-Water Method with Great Results
There’s another way to clean your Moissanite ring that will produce beautiful results. And you don’t need warm water in the first part. But you’ll need a few household products to help you along. This homemade DIY cleaning method included one cup of a solution of water and household ammonia or even a soap-free degreasing product like Mr. Clean. The proportions should be 3/4 parts water to 1/4 part of your preferred cleaning solution. Allow your Moissanite ring to soak for at least 10 minutes. Then using a baby toothbrush gently work around all hard-to-reach sides of your Moissanite ring. Take your time and try to reach into the mounting where grime can easily build up. Then give it a good rinse. Using warm to hot water, dry it the same way as you would in the detergent soak method. Enlist the help of your blow dryer if you’re in a hurry to get your ring back on. And why wouldn’t you? You’ll want this lovely ring on all the time!
Jewelry Cleaning Machines for Home Use
There are many well-made jewelry cleaning machines on the market today that can give your fine jewelry a deep clean almost as if you went to your jeweler for a professional cleaning. Look around to find which one suits you best. They should be formulated with completely non-toxic liquid jewelry cleaners so that they will be suitable for your Moissanite ring and your other fine jewelry. These cleaners are formulated specifically for effectively cleaning off all residue and buildup that accumulates on your Moissanite ring surfaces.
What about the Ultrasonic Cleaner?
When you want the Rolls Royce of jewelry cleaning devices, the Ultrasonic cleaner is the way to go. Including all the methods mentioned here, it turns out to be the most effective option for preserving the brilliance of your Moissanite ring. After all, it is the same method that retail (and wholesale!) jewelers use to get the jewelry in perfect condition prior to shipping out to a customer. The device uses high-frequency turbulence in a basin and does a superb job of cleaning your fine jewelry including your Moissanite ring.
More to Learn
Some of these handy tips seem intuitive, but it’s always a good idea to read them so you can keep these recommendations top-of-mind.
Avoid wearing any of your fine jewelry while engaging in sports. This includes doing your gym-workouts too. Remove your fine jewelry and place it in a safe location when you do any kind of rough physical work. We say this even though Moissanite is extremely durable. Under certain circumstances, it can be chipped by an unfortunate hard blow.
On those occasions when you’re not wearing your Moissanite ring, place it in your jewelry box separately from other pieces. This is a safeguard against the possible contact with other jewelry that could result in one scratching another. It’s as simple as that—and these tips are really common sense. We want you to enjoy your jewelry for a lifetime and have it stay just as dazzling as the day you got it.
A look at Chief Keef’s Instagram page reveals King Sosa’s love for jeans. From patchwork skinnies to the Kerwin Frost x Adidas jorts, his denim collection features the classic fabric in a magnitude of ways. He often doubles his denim with a denim jacket or vest.
His latest denim on denim look includes the coveted FW22 D-Day-C bomber from Diesel. In 2020, y/Project’s Glenn Martens took over as Creative Director of the legendary Italian brand. Since then, Diesel denim has received a unique upgrade with subtle y/Project signatures.
The D-Day-C bomber is a light wash with distressing on the shoulder and upper arm, revealing darker wash denim underneath. Keef finished his look with a Tampa Bay Rays cap, indigo jeans from Amiri, the Louis Vuitton Initiales Gamer Azur belt, and Reves Paris x Kool Kiy denim high-top sneakers.
Chief Keef pulled up to Rolling Loud NY in quite the colorful fit. He stepped onto the stage of his set in patchwork paisley print skinny jeans by Amiri, and the funky Nike Dunk Low Safari Mix kicks.
However, his look was dominated by a striped Marni knit outfitted with horizontal stripes of tangerine, indigo, hot pink, and hunter green. Marni’s knits have become popular among the current crowd of rap artists. Emcees from Kodak Black to Jackboy, have been spotted in a soft knit piece from the brand.
So it should come as no surprise Lil Uzi Vert was getting hype in the photo pit while wearing a matching Marni hat.

Keef wasted no time in inviting Uzi onto the stage, giving concert goers a better look at the stripped faux fur hat, striped scarf and socks (all by Marni) that Uzi was wearing.
If anyone among us can stand the rain it’s Offset.
Closing out Rolling Loud NY with a…let’s say splash, Future invited Offset onto the stage to deliver a final fair well to the epic three-day festival. The show started on peak intensity with Future, dressed in a leather look by Balenciaga and Celine, finished with a Chanel shearling trapper hat–– started his set with a hype performance of Pushin’ P and other hits.

Offset came out as a surprise guest clad in the Supreme x Yohji Yamamoto x Vanson Leathers split jacket and pants. He kept the Supreme theme going by wearing the VUE goggles made in collaboration with Fox Racing and the Franklin Sports x Supreme pro batting gloves. On his feet were the Balenciaga motocross boots, which came in handy when it started raining.

Despite the downpour, Offset set it off with a performance of Ric Flair Drip and Bad & Boujee. I guess he was serious when he said “came through drippin'”
