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 $25 which is usually less then the cost of one item in the box. Boxycharm also joined the customization train and you can choose between a few items to have one in your box for the month. I really like that because Boxycharm was getting to the point where I was only liking one thing in my box and even though the value was there the fun wasn’t anymore.
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 came super late this month I got it like on the 25th or 26th of June and haven’t had time to post about it until now. Normally my Boxycharm comes early in the month but this shipped late and got lost in the mail for awhile.
This brand I just can’t there is nothing special about the ingredients to warrant this price this is one of those brands that everything has these crazy prices but like who even are they. This is a very basic moisturizing eye cream nice but certainly not for fucking $140. I just fucking can’t with this QMS brand.
This was my pick for the month I didn’t really need a mascara but this just really kinda drew me in and it was the best of all the choice options. I know this brand makes really large fake lashes so I am hoping this is really good mascara.
Very mauve and very moussey in texture. I still love liquid lips so this is a great win for me. Not that we can wear lipstick at all because it ends up all over our masks so there it no point but one day lol. Swatched Below
I love these so much I have a few shades that I have gotten in Boxycharm but I think the prices are outrageous for these. I do love them though they give that like otherwordly mythical fairy type of look and I just love them so much.

I had wanted this from the last month so I am pretty happy that I got this the metallics and the glitters are really nice and I kinda love the random color story. The weird selection of brown mattes don’t really do it for me but that’s alright.
This was a really good month for me I am super happy with everything I got this month. Even if the eye cream is ridiculous and the mascara is sorta boring but useful.
Well I am back at work now and it isn’t great its very stressful and hard and scary and my empties slowed right the hell down with how busy I am. Plus my skin is freaking out from having a mask on so much that I don’t even want to try to put to much on it. Oh life.

Biore Witch Hazel Ultra Deep Cleansing Pore Strips these are fun once and awhile for pulling some gunk out I do feel like the Biore ones work the best.
Repurchase: Maybe
The Inkey List Retinol I don’t feel like I really saw any results from this I don’t think it is a strong enough retinol.
Repurchase: No
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads I know people swear by these but I don’t get it I don’t feel like they do anything. I would mostly use them as my toning step in the morning but I don’t think they do anything.
Repurchase: No
Cure Natural Aqua Gel hated this. This is the one of those exfoliators that pills up and wants you to think that it is your dead skin but its not. This did nothing and I think that pilling up feeling is gross.
Repurchase: No
Garnier SkinActive Glow Boost Fresh-Mix Sheet Mask this was decently nice. I mean you can’t expect to see a ton of results form a vitamin c mask because vitamin c is that kinda thing you need to use long term. Because the serum is kept separate from the mask and you get to like pop a bubble and soak the mask there was so much extra serum I was able to fill up like two of my little containers I use to save extra serum and keep using the serum for like almost a week so that was nice. I am always able to coupon these from CVS for free or at most like 50 cents so for those prices I would recommend definitely wait for sales and coupons.
Repurchase: Yes
L’oreal Pure Clay Mask in Purify and Matify (*) these L’oreal masks are actually really good for the price they come in these heavy glass jars, I wish the lids were nice so I could reuse them, and they work really well. This is like my favorite Body shop mask that has tea tree in it for blemishes but this doesn’t have the tea tree. This works almost as well so if you can’t afford the body shop once because it is so pricey for what it is this might be a good option for you. I won’t purchase this one again but there are other from this line like the clean and comfort that I would repurchase.
Repurchase: No
Dr. Jart+ Focuspot Blemish Micro Tip Patch these are not worth the price. You get so few in a pack and they are packaged in such a wasteful way like each patch is individually sealed in a plastic clam shell with the stuff to cover the sticky part and then in a bag and then all in the bigger bag it is so excessive. I want to try more micro tip patched but I don’t feel like these did anything to help heal my spots.
Repurchase: No
No7 Dark Spot Correcting Booster Serum so this did work a little I did see brightening and reduction in the appearance of the one dark spot I have but it was not massive and it took a really long time to see that reduction for the price I would want more dramatic results because I know I can get a stronger Vitamin C serum and see the same level of results faster and cheaper.
Repurchase: No
The Body Shop Mint Mattifying Face Mist I didn’t really like this it felt sticky and weird on my face and because it was mint it kinda stung around my eyes.
Repurchase: No

Secret Invisible Solid Shower Fresh Deodorant I don’t like this deodorant and I knew that when I bought it but I bought it on my last day of pre quarantine shopping back in March because I couldn’t remember if I had any left and I didn’t want to be deodorant less. This was what was available and cheap where I was so I grabbed and figured I could use it up while I wasn’t doing much and it really didn’t matter. This just its really thick and I don’t feel like it lasts very long and doesn’t work really hard it just doesn’t work for me.
Repurchase: No
Fortune Cookie Soap Company OCD Hand Sanitizer in Evenstar we’re all using hand sanitizer a lot now I’m glad I had such a back stock of them. This one had glitter in it which I don’t like because it stays on you and everything you touch but it is what it is.
Repurchase: No
Home Scents (4)
Trader Joe’s Scented Candle in Grapefruit I really like the Trader Joe’s candles they have a good scent throw and they smell really nice but they do burn through really quickly, but they are cheap.
Repurchase: Yes
Bath and Body Works Vanilla Bean Noel Single Wick Candle this was fine it was a fine vanilla scented candle.
Repurchase: Maybe
Bath and Body Works PB & J Candle this did smell like peanut butter but not in a cookie kinda way but there wasn’t much jelly scent. It was an ok candle with ok throw but nothing really special.
Repurchase: No
Bath and Body Works Wallflower in Berry Waffle Cone this smelled really good. Some days the berry sweetness came through a lot and other days I could smell more of the cone but it was always really nice and strong.
Repurchase: Yes
Makeup (1)
Latex Eyelash Glue non branded tiny lash glue I have nothing to say really it wasn’t very sticky and it was really clumpy.
Repurchase: No
Lotion (1)
Bath and Body Works Body Lotion in Energy I love the energy scent so this was super nice to use because it smells so good. I find them pretty moisturizing most of the time but every now and then I’ll find that my skin gets dry or irritated just because these are so fragranced but it normally isn’t a problem I just know I can’t do it when my skin is upset.
Repurchase: Yes
Bodycare (1)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Jelly Soap in Cosmic Unicorn I think for a kid this would be super fun but for me it was more work then I wanted to put in. You have to rip of a piece crush it up in your sponge and then lather. It lathered super well and it lasted a really long time I thought I would use it up in like a week or two but it lasted for months of showering because a little went a long way.
Repurchase: No
Perfume (1)
Delectable Hair and Body Mist in Coconut & Cream this was like a really light body splash the scent was nice but it faded super-fast. It was a good at home during quarantine perfume though so it was nice to have something comforting to use everyday and get used up.
Repurchase: No
Haircare (1)
Fortune Cookie Soap Company Deep Conditioner in Whale Talk these deep conditioners are pretty nice very moisturizing and I kinda like the very thick consistency they have I feel like it helps it stay on my hair and soak in a little better.
Repurchase: Maybe
Declutter (1)
Pacifica Stellar Gaze Mineral Mascara in Supernova this was terrible it barely did anything to my lashes it was useless.
Well I really didn’t use up much this month I could have done better but I just didn’t even try. I am just so blah at this point. I am well on track for the month and the year. I needed to have $1750 in by the end of this month and I have $1940.75 in so I mean that’s good.
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.
Another great box from Walmart this really is such a good subscription box I really do recommend it to everyone.
I don’t like having long nails so these are not for me but I mean a full nail set that you could potential get to full sets out of that’s pretty awesome and this alone is 6 cents shy of the cost of the box. Also considering most people cant go to the nail salon right now what a good thing to get in the box. I think the marble is really cool nails are just not for me.
First off who is out here wanting glitter in their face wash? Second of all how is my cleanser radiating self love please what am I missing here? This feels like random buzzword vomit lol. Besides all that I normally like Biore products alot so I am keen to chuck this in with my travel stuff to use up that way. The glitter is that small pearlesent kind so I don’t think it is going to leave glitter on my face.
I don’t have curly hair so I will pass this along but it does make me interested about the leave in conditioners from this line and there was a coupon. These products are really affordable.
I have heard so much about this specific Magnesium supplement drink. I have taken Magnesium supplements before and have felt alot of benefit from them (I should really take them more consistently). I have heard this is really fast acting and god for anxiety so I am really looking forward to putting that to the test probably sooner then I would prefer.
This I am kinda disappointed in I don’t like or use fluoride free toothpaste. I may throw this in with travel stuff I may pass it along I just don’t feel like there is a huge amount of purpose to a fluoride free toothpaste once you are old enough to know not to eat your toothpaste.
I have wanted to try this toothbrush since I found out about it back in like January and haven’t had the chance. I love really soft charcoal tooth brushes and the all black sleekness of it super appeals to me. So happy about this.
If Walmart can give me one to two full size items every time Ipsy could do it too. The value of the things I will use is over the value of the shipping and the items are both bractical and fun.
