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.
I am sorry every thing has been super late on the blog this month. I’ve really just mostly been wallowing in my sadness and haven’t felt like doing anything.
So as you can maybe notice I have a missing product. The Touch in Sol Primer that was supposed to be in this box and the thing I was most excited about didn’t end up making it into my box. Which is annoying. What was more annoying was the customer service experience.
So I emailed said I had a missing product. Got am auto response saying that they had a large volume of emails and someone would respond to me in 2 to 3 days. I also had made an order with my points in the Charm Shop before my box arrived and hadn’t gotten any updates about it after more then a week.
So I waited the 3 days and at like 3 to 4 days I got different auto response email saying that there was a high volume of emails and that I would get a response in 2 to 3 days. That had me a little confused and really unhappy but what ever. The next day still having not spoken to any representatives. I got one of those surveys they send out about how they did, almost as if they had closed my claim. So I rated them a 1 and put in the comments that they had not contacted me to solve my problem and that had not updated me on the status of my other order either. Withing an hour I got a response saying that my primer would be shipped with my next box and a shipping confirmation for my Charm Shop order. So we shall see if my primer arrives next month or not.
Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Whipped Cleansing Cream
Full Size: 150 ml
Full Size Cost: $35
Sample Size: 100 ml
Sample Size Value: $23.33
This is my favorite thing in the box and it isn’t even full size, which they do on occasion. This was a nice creamy cleanser but doesn’t leave that creamy heavy filmy feel that alot of cream cleansers leave on my face. I will definitely use this all up.
Dirty Little Secret Lip Liner in Rosie Posie
Full Size: ?
Full Size Cost: $15
This is very pink swatched but it is very flattering on my lips I don’t have a lip liner this color which is cool but I am not hugely into this formula. When I swatched it it broke because it is soft but not creamy it is actually quite patchy and hard to get an even layer going on it isn’t a great experience to apply I don’t love this. Swatched Below.
Dominique Cosmetics Lemonade Lip Gloss in Peach Tea
Full Size: 5.5 ml
Full Size Cost: $17
This smells like cake and frosting I want to keep it for that reason but this is a gross color and a gross feeling on the lips to me. As a gloss hater this is everything I hate about a gloss in one. It is a milky pinky peach color that makes you look kinda sick it is very very thick and very very sticky. Swatched Below.
Tarte be you. naturally. Eyeshadow Palette
Full Size: 9.6 g
Full Size Cost: $36
Typical Tarte stickers to cover up older packaging. This is boxy exclusive so you can’t buy it BUT I linked to a practically identical one that they have also sent me at some point. I think. All the round Tarte palettes expect the Make Believe in Yourself palette all look so boring and so similar. I plan to give this away. So I am not going to swatch it because there is no way in hell I would use this.
Customer service issues aside I really didn’t like this box at all this month. Two lip products that aren’t my taste a boring eyeshadow palette and then a cleanser and a primer that I didn’t receive.
Total: $91.33 ($114.33 with the primer)
Total Value to Me: $38.33 ($61.33 with the primer)
