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.
We got almost a full face of makeup this month which is pretty amazing. Only missing eyeliner and mascara. (I’m not counting foundation I mean they would never send that). I am pretty annoyed about one product but you’ll hear all about it when we get to it.
Also they did send me a new bronzer palette to replace the one that was smashed and the replacement was also smashed so I was just like fuck it I didn’t even bother I was so annoyed.
Crown Glam Metals Eyeshadow Palette
Full Size: Yes
Value: $29.99
As you can see one of the pans was half smashed up. Between this and the bronzer I was just too annoyed and pissed to bother I am really unhappy. Had this not been placed on top of the fucking foam packaging this probably wouldn’t have happened.
This palette is also kinda eh the mattes are terrible so little pigment had to really swirl alot in the pan to even get a swatch. The shimmers are also hit and miss the gold in the middle, Rebel, is great but they are not consistent at all.
Like the whole bottom row is just meh. This is not worth $30 save your money.
Pür Bronze and Brighten Palette
Full Size: Yes
Value: $34
This is one of those makeup things you just want to touch. It is so soft. It is that creamy powder that feels like wet and so ridiculously shiny. I will most likely end up using these as eye shadows since shimmery bronzer and blush isn’t my thing but still so gorgeous words and pictures can not describe the pretty metallic shine on these. I posted a picture of these swatches on my instagram.
Also everyone meet my bat he lives on my right wrist so he doesn’t show up in my swatches often since I am right handed but I had the palette swatches on my left so He decided to visit the blog.
Girlactik Matte Lip Paint in Posh
Full Size: 7.5 ml
Full Size Cost: $23
Sample Size: 7.5 ml
Value: $23
This is pricey and to be honest looked ad felt very drugstore to me so Idk about that. This is a very an pink with brown undertones nude shade but it dried matte quickly so it shows promise it reminds me alot of the Lime Crime Velvetines. Swatched Below.
It Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Taupe
Full Size: 0.16 g
Full Size Cost: $24
Sample Size: 0.16 g
Value: $24
This is a very stiff pencil and I do not like that I don’t like to feel like I’m stabbing myself to do my makeup. The say that is you apply lightly this will be blonde and if you press harder it will work for dark hair. That sounded impossible to me but it kinda worked, you will see in the swatches. This won’t work for everyone but it will work for the majority of people which is pretty cool and great for a box like this. Swatched Below.
So you see the lip paint and the eyebrow pencil. Top is pressing hard and bottom is pressing lightly.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Luminizer Primer
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $38
Sample Size: 30 ml
Value: $38
This has some shimmer to it so be aware but it does blur. I always get really excited for Dr. Brandt stuff because it is so expensive.
Total: $148.99
This is a substantial value for a $21 box but I am not happy. I am unhappy with all the broken products I received and the lip and eyeshadow I do not think were worth the prices I found for them. So this is not a win for me I have two products I really Like two I’ll use a little but eh just not satisfied this month.
