Boxycharm
Cost: $25
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 $25 which is usually less then the cost of one item in the box. Boxycharm also joined the customization train and you can choose between 2 items to have one in your box for the month. I really like that because Boxycharm was getting to the point where I was only liking one thing in my box and even though the value was there the fun wasn’t anymore.
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.
Winter came back with a vengeance and I am so cold that even the short while I need to be out from under the blanket to write this is physically painful.
Ciate London Everyday Vacay Coconut Setting Powder
Full Size: 15 g
Full Size Cost: $22
So this is the stiffest powder I have ever felt. Like I didn’t know a powder could feel so stiff and dry it is weird. It also says it is coconut scented but it isn’t. Pretty packaging though and this is a brand new just launched product so that makes it a bit cooler to see in here.
Alamar Cosmetics Complexion Brush Trio
Full Size: 3 brushes
Full Size Cost: $36
This is a very interesting set of brushes. First I don’t like that they are all labeled with what they are “supposed” to be used for because it seems misleading. The littlest brush is labeled a brightening brush which is just an odd thing to call a brush it is either a highlighting brush or an under eye setting brush but it is a bit dense for either of those uses. Then the brush that is labeled bronzer is more of a foundation brush. It has all the bumps on it that make it uneven so it would make bronzer super patchy. It is super weird.
Kate Somerville Kx Active Concentrates Bio-Mimicking Peptides Serum
Full Size: 30 ml
Full Size Cost: $98
This was the item I chose and I am definitely getting my moneys worth with these picks. This was pretty sticky on but I am hoping it will help make my skin appear smoother and refreshed like it claims. Kate Somerville products have a good reputation but I have never had the chance to try any of their more expensive more interesting products.
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads
Full Size: 28 pads
Full Size Cost: $17
These I have tried before and they are pretty unimpressive they are like grown up Oxypads. I find them to be pretty drying so I will hold off using these till the summer. I have never used them longer then a week or two but I can’t say I saw any brightening other then just removing dirt and oil from my face.
Evioskin x Aurora Refreshing Cleansing Hemp Wipes
Full Size: 30 Wipes
Full Size Cost: $14
Travel Size: 15 Wipes
Cost: $10
These are currently totally sold out but we don’t get wipes in boxes often so even though these are the travel size I am pretty thrilled to get some new ones to try. Everything has hemp or cbd in it these days since it is the hot new trend but still a win.
Another month of a very skincare heavy box but I am not going to complain about that. Though I am hoping for some fun makeup next month. I love getting brushes because who wants to pay for them.
Total: $183
Total Value to Me: $161
