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.
This was not the variation of box I wanted this month so I am a little less then satisfied with it.
The theme was galaxy glow but only one of the boxes fit that theme and it was not mine. I am clearly very bitter over not getting the really awesome looking highlighter palette.
Pür X-faux Lips Plumping Lip Exfoliator
Full Size: 3 g
Full Size Cost: $17
Sample Size: 3 g
Value: $17
This is no better then the elf one that is like $3 and the elf one comes in all different flavors. This actually stung a bit when I used it but I didn’t see any plumping as an exfoliator it worked well did it’s job but no one needs this when there is a cheaper option that is just as good if not better because it doesn’t sting.
Crown Brushes 3pc Pro Brush Trio
Full Size: Yes
Value: $29.99
These are easily the best thing in the box. They are so densely packed and so so so soft. Like baby bunnies. These are supposed to be 3 powder brushes in 3 different sizes but the small one you could use as an eyeshadow brush easily. I will get the most use out of this in the box.
Ofra Cosmetics Pop-Up Palette Mini
Full Size: W: 7.75” x H: 5.5”
Full Size Cost: $21
Sample Size: approx W: 5.5″ x H: 4″
Value: $9.24
I like that this opens up like a cool book or something that is different and unique but the doors feel a little flimsy to me like you could poke through the plastic is you tried hard enough and I don’t like that. So this mini palette is not for sale which is really freaking odd. I calculated it on price per square inch because that seemed to make the most sense to me. This mini palette has just under half the the square inches of the full size one.
Ofra Cosmetics Blush Godet in Winter Rose Glow
Full Size: 4 g
Full Size Cost: $12
Sample Size: 4 g
Value: $12
This seems like a very wintery shade of blush to me and I would have expected something brighter heading into Spring. This also has some shimmer in it I think it will make a very pretty eyeshadow that I will never get around to using. Swatched Below.
Coverfx Shimmer Veil in Amethyst
Full Size: 4 ml
Full Size Cost: $28
Sample Size: 4 ml
Value: $28
I was kinda let down by this. I was expecting more. It is a little patchy and doesn’t layer up as well as I would like it too it gets a little chunky. Super pretty to look at but doesn’t preform the way I would like it to I would want the kind of opacity you get our of a Stila Glimmer and Glow or the Limecrime Diamond Crushers. This is a very pinky purple shine with purple glitter/shimmer shift to it. Swatched Below.
Vintage By Jessica Liebeskind Smokey Eye Pencil in Jet Black
Full Size: 1.2 g
Full Size Cost: $21
Sample Size: 1.2 g
Value: $21
This is a very generic middle of the road black eyeliner I am neither impressed nor unhappy it is pigmented enough it is black enough everything is just standard. I did find this to be a little smudgey though and not in a good way. The packaging it the only really nice thing about it the white ad black flower with the pretty script appeals to me alot. This is not worth anywhere near $21 dollars that is how much Urban Decay liners cost and they are far superior to this and still not worht the money. Swatched below.
Total: $117.23
Not the best value and not all full sizes either this month. Boxycharm has kinda been slipping these past 3 months. March Spoilers look really good so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I feel as long as I get my $21 dollars worth I can stay satisfied with this box. The crown brushes thrilled me and they are worth more then the box cost so anything else I like is a bonus but they do need to start stepping it up again.
