Boxycharm
Cost: $25
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 $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.
I once again wasn’t given a choice option this month so everything was a surprise this month.
Butter London Teddy Boy Palette

This is the worlds most neutral cool toned boring palette they have ever sent. I am not going to swatch this sorry. I will be passing this on. That said most things from Butter London are nice quality and the packaging of this is really nice. It you like cool toned neutrals this could be a hit for you.

I like getting sheet masks so much so that I have an entire mini drawer system dedicated and stuffed to the brim full of sheet masks. I won’t keep the pink one since it has rose in it but I am really excited for the other two those are the main types of sheet masks I really gravitate too and feel like improve my skin.
QMS Medicosmetics Active Glow Tinted Day Cream
Full Size: 50 ml
Full Size Cost: $105
Oh I just have so many thoughts on this product and its inclusion in the box. These weird sketchy brands that charge astronomical prices for very basic products is not what I expect in and mainstream box it makes me feel like I am being cheated in multiple ways first by Boxycharm being able to inflate the value of their box and again by the company masquerading as being something better than they are.
Second thing we have going on her is when you find this product on the site it claims to have spf 15 this is on the packaging and in the description. The one we have here does not which leads me to believe this is older and they have since repackaged. Now for an spf 15 you don’t actually legally have to prove it does anything buy sunscreen standards so I would guess there is no difference between this one and the new one just more claims that are not really supported and alot of misdirection. I just don’t like it don’t bullshit me. Don’t try to trick people out of their money.
This is a lightly tinted day cream that really doesn’t do much. It isn’t moisturizing or matte it is sorta just nothing feeling. I don’t really get it. I will probably use it because that is the kinda stuff I like. but uh it sure isn’t a $105 product.
Full Size: 8.2 g
Full Size Cost: $24
I love the color of this bronzer in the pan it really does look like tanned/bronzer but it shows up very light on my skin it really needs to be packed on and blended alot so that’s a challenged but not the worst thing. Swatched Below.
Clarins Velvet Lip Perfector in 02 Velvet Rosewood
Full Size: 12 ml
Full Size Cost: $26
This is my favorite thing in the whole box. I know alot of people really hate lip products like this but they are like some of my favorite kinds of lip products. This has one of those soft fuzzy tips that the product comes out through and gives you that very blotted soft matte look that I just adore. This is like a mute strawberry color and I really like it. Swatched Below.
This box was a whole ride. I do like the idea that we got a whole look though we got a skin thing a bronzer eyeshadow and a lip product I wish they would have a bit more of a theme and cohesiveness to the boxes, it would feel so much more curated and valuable rather then feeling like a weird T. J. Maxx haul.
