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.
This month had a theme of natural and for a change they actually kinda made the products match the theme a bit.
Alamar Cosmetics Mother of Pearl Lip Gloss in Tesoro
Full Size:
Full Size Cost: $10
I don’t like lip gloss and nothing about this color even sorta excites me to try it so I am not swatching this so It can get passed on to a good home. This is a very shimmery glittery type of lip gloss that would be really impactful on the lips. I do love the packaging though A plus the textured water drop like lid is so cool.
Elemis Superfood Vital Veggie Mask
Full Size: 2.5 oz
Full Size Cost: $35
I am getting a bit of a collection of Elemis skincare and I almost want to like hold off and try to do a few weeks of all Elemis or mostly Elemis skincare and see if it makes a difference in my skin. But this seems like it will be a really cool mask that I will enjoy. I do like nourishing masks when my skin feels uncomfortable or tired.
Full Size: 3 brushes
Full Size Cost: $30
This is a a really nice set of more unique brush shapes from Luxie. They also have wood handles instead of the normal plastic ones to go with the earth/natural theme. This set comes with a 510 Foundation Brush and I really needed a new flat foundation brush but wasn’t going to buy them because I so rarely use one but I really like having them for if I am doing a full glam look or if I am doing special event makeup. There is also 250 Large Eye Blending Brush which has a rally large flared our head with almost a flat top. I am not sure how to use this but it is definitely not a shape I have. The last is a 246 Precision Crease Brush but I normally would use something like this for packing on shimmers. I love Luxie brushes they are in my top 5 so never sad to see Luxie Brushes in my box.
Appeal Cosmetics Gel Liner in Deep Taupe
Full Size: 1.4 g
Full Size Cost: $21
I was hoping for the green shade but alas I got this one. This is almost like a plummy brown rather then a taupe shade. It is a nice smooth creamy get liner and it isn’t a wooden liner which I know is important to alot of people I don’t care either way as long as it isn’t scratchy. Swatched Below.
Butter London Natural Goddess Eyeshadow Palette
Full Size: 6 eyeshadows
Full Size Cost: $26.50
So this palette was exclusive to Khol’s and I think it is probably going away soon since it is on sale. I found the shades to all be really pretty and workable but the color choices struck me as odd. I feel like the matte blue should have been a matte forest green it would have complemented this palette more and worked with all the shades rather then the blue which is a bit out of place and seems put in just for the ability to have a pop of blue. I also would have liked if Queen actually was a more pink shade rather then the pinky bronze that it is. All these shades sorta muddy together because they are also so similar in tone. I don’t know how much use I will get out this palette. Swatched Below.
So they did end up mailing me a replacement primer for the primer that was missing in my box which is great. It came on its own before this came so I don’t why they said it would come in my next box but whatever. I don’t love it but it is so liquidy I should actually be able to use it up pretty fast. This months box was much better then last I will use most of what I got in this box which is great.
