Boxycharm May 2018 Subscription Box Review

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.


Another month another Boxycharm box that came all crushed I really don’t get what is up with that. Luckily nothing was damaged this month but since none of my other boxes are damaged when I get them I feel like this is on Boxycharm’s end not the post office’s end.

Aesthetica P 12 Brush

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $27

I would never spend $27 on this brush it does not feel that quality it isn’t super scratchy but there is an element of scratchiness to the bristles and it just has the look and feel of a much cheaper brush. I also don’t love brushes shaped like this I need something bigger ad fluffier or smaller and denser for my powder life.

Aesthetica 3 Piece Eye Trio

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $45

Uh that is ridiculous especially since one of the brushes is a tiny spoolie. These feel better quality then the P12 but no where near $45 you can get the same thing from like bh cosmetics for less then half the price that is the same quality.

Pür Cosmetics Sculptor Palette

Full Size: 1o g

Full Size Cost: $30

Sample Size: 10 g

Value: $30

This is a much better then the eye palette that is for sure the highlight shades are a bit dark for me but that will be good for people generally left out with shades that don’t work for them. Swatched Below.

Pretty Vulgar The Ink Gel Eyeliner 01 Black List

Full Size: 6 g

Full Size Cost: $24

Sample Size: 6 g

Value: $24

I just love the packaging aesthetic so much the old school inkwell is just so awesome. I wish the quality of the packaging was better for the price ad the look of it like the lid is so cheap feeling if should have been a heavier metal cap.  The jar itself is heavy glass. Since you can’t see into the liner it is really easy to overload your brush because this is a very creamy gel liner. It stays a bit glossy but does look really nice. I swatched it twice a first past and a second past so that you can see how the pigment is over a first and second swipe. Swatched Below.

Beauty Creations Matte Lip Gloss in 17 Sweet Heart

Full Size: 4 g

Full Size Cost: $10

Sample Size: 4 g

Value: $10

I feel like they sell this at Marshall’s. This is a really pretty color but it takes forever to dry down and is pretty sticky while it dries. The packaging is also pretty cheap feeling like there are sharp edges on the plastic cap. I don’t get matte lip gloss like those are pretty mutually exclusive so I don’t get while brands name things like that. Swatched Below.

Cover Fx Blurring Primer

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $38

Sample Size: 30 ml

Value: $38

This is a beige primer that is really blurring like my skin looks really smooth and soft after putting this on.


Total: $174

So much repeat brands like I feel like we have gotten Cover Fx and Pür in every box lately. The spoilers for next month look really good so I am excited to see what we get. It looks like we will be getting some different brands then usual. Almost a third of the value of this month came from the really overpriced brushes that are not worth it they are not something I would spend my money on.
