Boxycharm sends out 4 to 5 full size items every month which makes
it really unique among the boxes I subscribe to. It is a nice change
to get all full size products especially for the reasonable price of $21
which is usually less then the cost of one item in the box.
If you would like to subscribe you can use my referral link HERE.
I don’t get anything other then points but would really appreciate it
but do as you feel comfortable you are also welcome to use the link in
the header that leads to the regular homepage.
You can also review your products and get “charms” which are their
versions of points that you can use as money off in their shop.
This has been one of my more favorite Boxycharms that I have gotten.
Pur palettes can be really hit or miss on quality. These are really nice quality except for the highlight shade Twilight in the upper left corner that one is terrible has no pigment and fades almost instantly. Now these blushes are just way to dark to use as blushes even if I wore blush but they work great as eyeshadow. I really like this palette the only downside is that the brown is the only matte in the palette and it could have benefited from one more matte. You can’t seem to buy this anywhere so I went the listed price.
So I got one of the famous shades it is a very brown my lips but better shade so it doesn’t look good on my it looks just off. But I do love the formula on these and the pretty packaging.
Well this is the creepiest mask I have seen in awhile. You put on this peel off mask and then a lace face mask to help peel it off. This will be super weird. Also why is this super expensive.
This cleansing balm might actually make me change from my all time favorite Clinique one. This actually feels moisturizing rather then greasy and doesn’t sting or leave film on my contacts. It also removes makeup extremely easily. I love it.
I really liked this box alot. I loved the palette and the balm. The mask and mascara were also really nice and will definitely get used.
Apocalyptic Beauty is this really cool indie makeup company that makes different loose shadows, scented settings sprays, liquids lips all sorts of things. They have really creative names and cute packaging and good prices.
I had heard a lot about their setting sprays and this company in general from a smaller YouTuber I really like BiohazardousBeauty shes does the most gorgeous makeup. I really wanted the Hot Cocoa Setting spray because I love chocolate scents they are my total favorite but I didn’t want to just buy on item. I couldn’t decide what to get so I decided to just get the starter mystery kit to try out a few different things. The Hot Cocoa Setting spray smells so damn good though like I want my whole life to smell like that.
Please excuse the horrible picture quality my camera broke the day I was taking these pictures oops life happens its annoying for me too.
So this is a full size mixing medium but does not come with a mixing pod like it would if you bought it so I knocked off the price of the mixing pod. I have wanted a mixing medium for a while but never really took the plunge to buy one. I struggle with using loose pigments because they are just so messy but I really want to use the pigments I have so this should help like easy me in since I can make them more of a liquid paste type of thing turn them into liners and what not. I don’t know if this is a good medium or not but it worked really good for me I was able to use a few drops (I used one to many but that’s user error not product error) to turn one of the eyeshadows into a liner and it lasted for hours through work and wasn’t the easiest to get off so that was great in my book.
This is so pretty on the skin. It has what feels like a dry oil base so it isn’t like a mess to use and it does stay where you put it which is great most liquid highlighters just run all over the place. This is a really pretty gold with a white/silver type of under tone. It doesn’t look like that liquid metal type of look but it is like a glowy sheer metal finish. It is totally gorgeous but it unfortunately it is more for pictures because it fades very very quick I used this and it was like all gone with in an hour or two. Now I have oily skin and I do touch my face alot so your mileage may vary but My highlighters usually don’t fade that fast. TL:DR So pretty, great to work with but doesn’t last. Swatched Below.
This is a really cool gloss. It has an intense green shift to it you can even see it on bare lips this looks really awesome over black lipstick which is my personal favorite lipstick to win for me. I hate gloss so I won’t get a ton of use out of this because I don’t like that slidey sticky feeling on my lips but I will force myself to use this sometimes because of how pretty it looks. Swatched Below.
I love red eyeshadow so this is was the best possible shade they could have picked for me. This is a lovely matte blood red, it is bright red with a bit of a brown undertone that comes through that makes it look like real blood. I love it so much. I used it to create my wing mixed with the medium in the look at the end of the post. Every now and again you’ll get loose pigments that don’t stick together enough to see the color in them and this you definitely don’t have that problem. Swatched Below.

I love the little artwork for lip safe vs not lip safe so cute. I couldn’t find this currently on the site but that is ok. It is the same size as Bucket of Blood and lets be real this is like a lifetime supply loose eyeshadows last forever. This is a shimmery pretty light aqua blue. Very pretty and bright. Swatched Below.
Bucket of Blood, Hang Gliding with Beelzebub, Sleek White Gold, Wicked With flash so you can see the shine
This has clear glitter, black glitter, and two shades of orange glitter. If you like glitter this is a really great glitter blend. I hate glitter I rarely use it outside of like a very special look for a really special thing so like once every 2 years maybe. I don’t know if I’ll save it or pass it on but I knew going into this this was a product that just wasn’t for me and my tastes and that’s ok. It is screaming Halloween to me though, so maybe.
I have like 13 lip balms open right now including a cherry flavored one so I haven’t opened this yet because it does come completely sealed which I appreciate. These are a really good price and come in some really good flavors. So if this works out for me I would definitely get more.
The stated value of the travel size spray is $4.85 I get the whole packaging costs and what not totally get it and that makes sense if you could buy the travel size but at the moment they are not for sale so I am using the actual value for this product. I really like this setting spray Green Tea wouldn’t be my first choice of scent but it isn’t too bad it is more herbal water scen tthen straight green tea which I prefer. These setting sprays work about as goos most others I have tried. I am still looking for like a last through a hurricane type of setting spray that will keep my makeup on through shows but for everyday life this is good and smells nice.
This is such a good rusty brown red liquid lipstick. I love the shade. It is a little dry but has really good staying power and and not so dry that your lips feel like they are dying. I need a lipstick that can stand up to me drinking out of straws and cans and cups because I am always drinking water and coffee and Redbull and I can’t be bothered to touch up that often.
And here is the look I created with some of the products.
I laid down a base of just a black matte eyeshadow. Mixed Bucket of Blood with the Mixing Medium and made like a liquid eyeliner to do a nice sharp red wing eyeliner. Used Gore as my lip. I used the highlighter but it had already worn off by this point.
You can really see the bloody raw look of the shadow on my lid which is totally what I wanted I loved it.
Total: $51.16
So definitely over the promised $44 dollar value which is always good. I was really happy with this box because I got an eyeshadow and a liquid lipstick in shades I love. If you got shades you didn’t like it would be less of a success. I was really impressed with the quality and liked all the products. Also the shipping was super fast I got a free sample which was fun. Overall totally recommend and will definitely buy from them again especially the liquid lipsticks and setting sprays.
What is it: Every season Walmart sends out a box of
samples and sometimes coupons in their “free” subscription box. The box
is a flat shipping rate of $5 and the box is considered free. There are
two categories of boxes “Trendsetter” which you receive if you provide a
birth date that has you aged at under 35 and “Classic” if you provide a
birth date that has you aged above 35.
This is oddly one of my favorite sub boxes I get because you never really know what you are going to get sometimes its amazing and sometimes its just good but the stuff is always affordable if you fall in love with it and easy to get. There were a lot of products this month.
My camera is kinda on the fritz so bare with these really eh pictures.
Normally Walmart sends boxes that are really high quality with a lid and pretty designs that are good to reuse but this month it was just a normal not high quality shipping type box.
I don’t like micellar water but I do love charcoal so I will give this a whirl but I have a feeling I am not going to like it. This is such a cute little bottle though and would be a perfect little travel size.
I love charcoal toothpaste a lot and I really enjoy the taste and texture of Hello toothpaste so this is a great thing for me I am all about it. I feel like charcoal really does clean and whiten my teeth.
So we got a little pack of these in last seasons box and this season we are getting a little single use one. I like to keep these in the car for those inevitable messes that occur when you pretty much live in your car. These are a fine wet wipe nothing special does its job.
I like lip patches like this they are soothing and moisturizing and usually taste good. This has strawberry, blueberry, bearberry (wtf?) cranberry and blackberry extracts so I have high hopes for this.
This was very sticky and smelled very aloey which I didn’t like. I can say that this was just about one full body worth of application like maybe needed on more ml so I guess you get alot of worth for your money out of this lotion. Idk.
I weirdly don’t trust this shampoo because of how cheap it is and I have never heard of it before maybe that’s snobby but I already rarely use real shampoo so that is me.
I have never tried this. This was the mascara my mother used for like my whole life like this is the iconic standard of mascara so it’ll be pretty fun to try this and see if it is as good as all the mascaras I use.
I love this so so much. This is a leave on/sleeping mask. It smells nice it feels super cool and hydrating on the skin but didn’t leave me sticky. I think I am going to have to buy a full size tube of this. I love freeman masks they are really great and most of them come in these packets as well as big tubes. This also has plenty of product in it I should be able to get 2 more uses out of it.
Once again really happy with this box it is so fun to open I don’t I just really like it. It is well worth the $5 to me I really encourage you to try it out.
