Boxycharm August 2018 Subscription Box Review

Boxycharm

Cost: $21

Cycle: Every Month

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.


Really interesting assortment of products in this months Boxycharm. I had alot of feelings (She doesn’t even go here! lol). Moving on from movie references and back to makeup lets get started. This will probably be a really long post.

Adesse New York Sweet Almond Cuticle Oil

Full Size: 11 ml

Full Size Cost: $18

Sample Size: 11 ml

Value: $18

Adesse New York Sweet Almond Cuticle Oil

I don’t really feel like this moisturized my cuticles at all. It has the advantages of not leaving your fingers feeling greasy but it doesn’t make my cuticles soft. I much prefer the Fortune Cookie Soap ones they are very greasy but they really work.

House of Lashes Siren Mini Lashes

Full Size: 3 pair

Full Size Cost: $22.50

Sample Size: 1 pair

Value: $7.50

House of Lashes Siren Mini

I don’t wear lashes ever I have never worn a pair. I like the idea of minis but these are really intense lashes for minis. they seem really curly and are definitely dramatic. I would have liked if they came with glue since people who don’t wear lashes wouldn’t have that on hand.

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks

Full Size: 6 masks

Full Size Cost: $25

Sample Size: 3 masks

Value: $12.50

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks

I am excited to try these out I don’t use eye masks often I don’t feel like they ever do anything other then feel nice so I save them for like relaxing treats since I don’t have a ton of them.

Smashbox Always on Liquid Lipstick in In Demand

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 4 ml

Value: $24

Smashbox Always on Liquid Lipstick In Demand

I don’t know how I feel about this color it looks ok in some likes and then like concealer lips in other lights I just don’t know. In the swatch it is a pretty neutral pink but on it seems to change. I have to try it out with like a darker lip liner and see if that helps. As far as formula these stay on pretty well but aren’t super comfy they are a little gritty almost you can feel them on your lips and if I can feel it I want permanent staying power lol. Swatched Below.

Bang Beauty Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $22

Sample Size: 3.5 g

Value: $22

Bang Beauty Gel Eyeliner

I don’t use gel eyeliner a ton or brown eyeliner ever but feel really compelled to keep this so I will. It is really really soft and creamy and applies nicely but it is brown which is so meh to me. Swatched Below.

Laura Lee Los Angeles Party Animal Palette

Full Size: 7.8 g

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 7.8 g

Value: $19

Laura Lee Los Angeles

I was so prepared to hate this palette because I am not a Laura Lee fan but I love it. I love colorful palettes and no box ever sends those out. I have really been looking for a small colorful palette that I could take with me when I travel but all my colorful shadows are expensive and in giant palettes I would be afraid would break. This has really nice sturdy thick packaging with a soft matte feel a mirror and a good magnetic closure.  I like the bright fun colors the are pretty smooth and pigmented. Bottoms up has a lot of glitter and it does have fall out which I am not a fan of but it a sparkley Barbie pink is a such a fun touch. This is my most favorite thing in the box.

 


Total: $103

I was so impressed with the palette which made the box for me the other items were all a little meh for me I will use most but none were really great other then this palette. Not the best Boxycharm month but next month’s spoilers are looking really good.
