What is it:
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 was such a great month. The theme was Beach Please and well other then one item nothing fit that theme but hey whatever the box was really cool this month.
Tarte generously sent out a coupon code that I will share with you all here.
The code is BOXYAUGUST and is good until 9/15/17.
Royal and Langnickel Moda Pro 3 Piece Brush Set
Full Size: Yes
Value: $26
This is a brush set from a line that is not releasing until the Fall so charmers got a a really nice pre-release version which is super cool. I love Royal and Langnickel brushes I own some from a few of the lines mostly Moda and Moda Prismatics. These Moda Pro brushes are softer than either of those lines. They also seem more sturdy and much higher quality. I really Like these I am going to link to three similar brushes so you can see a general price idea for their brushes individual these similar brushes come to almost $25. I actually think $26 for this set is a great price.
Similar to BMX-130 this is a blush or a soft contour brush I also think this could be great for any kind of powder.
Similar to BMX-430 just a great soft fluffy crease brush.
Similar to BMX-250 I love brushes like this for my rainbow highlighters they do a great job of applying a full intense rainbow effect. They are a very intense brush otherwise and I don’t really like to be seen from outer space but if you do this is your highlight brush.
The bristles are so soft and dense. The seem really sturdy ad well put together and I am really into the soft touch quilted handles they have going on. I am really in love with these they are easily my favorite thing in the whole box. Being worth more than I spent on this box doesn’t hurt either.
Pur Cosmetics Pro Eyelashes in Bombshell
Full Size: 1 pair
Full Size Cost: $14
Sample Size: 1 pair

These are really cool they are cruelty free silk lashes they look really real. They are long and dramatic but they don’t have that fake look that a lot of lashes have.
Bellápierre Gel Eye Liner in Ebony
Full Size: 1.8 g
Full Size Cost: $15
Sample Size: 1.8 g
Value: $15
This claims to be waterproof I love black gel eyeliners I can never have enough I have a whole drawer of them because black eyeliner is my trademark. I am not swatching this because I don’t want to open it. I have so many open liners. Sorry guys. I also could not get a good picture of this no matter how hard I tried the packaging is to reflective.
Aloette Face Paint in Blooming Berry
Full Size: 0.5 oz
Full Size Cost: $35
Sample Size: 0.5 oz
Value: $35
This is a weird product. First of all it keeps making me think of that creepy Alouette song about eating the bird. It is ridiculously pigmented, smells like lightly fruity and it is a really thick creamy lip and cheek tint. Now I will never use this as a cheek stain because I don’t use blush. It wears off quick on the lips but is super pretty. I love that they sent us such an interesting product that is what I want boxes to do so even though I am not sure how I am going to use it I really like that I have it. It might make for some super fun Halloween makeup. I think the price is outrageous though I can’t see anyone wanting to spend $35 on this. I don’t know but it is weirdly cool and there’s a ton of product. Not that it matters but I really love how the tube looks and feels it looks so cute and like old school fancy makeup and it has this lovely slick smooth feel to the plastic. I’m in a weird mood and really into things that feel nice. Swatched Below.
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Volume II
Full Size: 0.05 oz x 8
Full Size Cost: $36
Sample Size: 0.05 oz x 8
Value: $36
These shadows are so soft and buttery they almost feel like cream shadows. Like it is kind of amazing. This is my first experience with any Tarte shadows and from what I’ve heard the Rainforest of the Sea are some of the better formulas. They are really sheer though which is not a thing I like in my shadows they are smooth and not patchy so they are meant to be built up but I like a lot more pigment from the start in my shadows. That is more personal preference and definitely not a mark against the product. This also has the best fucking mirror like I never use the mirror in a palette but this one is so big and such good quality I could see myself using it. The purple and blue coral is also so pretty I love the design of this palette. This is a major score in terms of box items. Swatched Below
Flash, the lighter colors are hard to see on camera but are perfect blending shades for me on the eyes.
No Flash
Total: $126
Great value for a $21 dollar box I really love the palette and the brushes the cheek tint is a little weird but still nice to see something different in the box. I have really been thrilled with my Boxycharm subscription and would really recommend it to anyone looking for a subscription box.
