Boxycharm January 2019 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.

Not happy at all with this months box. Mostly a collection of stuff I don’t want.

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mask

Full Size: 1 Mask

Full Size Cost: $12

Sample Size: 2 masks

Value: $24

This is probably the most exciting thing in box. I have never gotten anything from Tatcha before because it is such a pricey brand. I like that we got too masks as well because you can see if they really do anything as well as it is nice to have a bonus 6th item.

Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair! Leave in Mask

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $28

Sample Size: 2 oz

Value: $14

This bothers me on two levels one I hate when Boxycharm doesn’t send full size products because they really imply that they always will. Two because Briogeo does not work for my hair at all so this is a waste of product for me that I will end up giving away.

Starlooks Ultra-Luxe Longwear Eye Pencil in Brown

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $19

I am not opening this or swatching it because I don’t use brown eyeliner so there is no reason to. I don’t like Starlooks that much I think they are kinda pricey and feel a little cheap. But I have only really tried eyeliners from them.

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Volume III

Full Size: 1.5 g x 8

Full Size Cost: $36

While I love the packaging on these palettes the colors inside are just so boring to me. I don’t really use these light neutral kinda of eyeshadow colors ever. So this is another one that will make a great gift so I am not swatching it.

Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Havana Nights

Full Size: 8 g

Full Size Cost: $20

I love the new Ofra packaging it is so nice and sleek and looks so much better and less flimsy then their old packaging. This is a nice dark red color this is the collab with KathleenLights that Ofra did awhile back so of course this is the shade that Boxycharm would put in since shes basically the face of Boxycharm lately. It is a really pretty shade though and I don’t think I have this one so I am happy to have it since I like the color and formula of their liquid lipsticks.

This was a fail box for me unfortunately. I know it happens sometimes but it is annoying when it does with a more expensive box and it was two in a row of boxes that didn’t thrill me. I hope this is not a trend.

This was a bad Boxycharm month for me. That does happen every so often can’t win them all. There was just nothing in this box I am interested in using or owning. Even with getting the high value item I would have rather had the lower value alternate item.

Wander Beauty Wanderess Dusk to Dawn Eye and Cheek Palette

Full Size: 6.6 g

Full Size Cost: $26

This palette just is not worth $26 dollars these are meh feeling like they aren’t terrible but they aren’t great and the pans are so tiny and hard to get into. I am probably gona give this away to my younger cousin to play with because this is almost like play makeup size. Swatched Below.

Jonteblu Glittering Star Eyeliner

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $5

This just reminds me of kid makeup up like I don’t want or need a black pencil eyeliner with glitter. It is actually pretty soft feeling but like what am I really going to do with this? Swatched Below.

Tarte Tarteist Shimmering Lip Paint in Strike Gold

Full Size: 6ml

Full Size Cost: $20

This is pretty an I get why it is in a holiday season box but lip gloss holds no appeal to me. Swatched Below.

Luscious Angel Eyes Eyeshadow Primer

Full Size: 10 ml

Full Size Cost: $14

This looks like cheap dollar store makeup doesn’t it? Or is that just me? Either way this actually feels pretty silky so I think it might be a nice primer we shall see. Right not I’ve needed my makeup to look good so I can’t risk trying a new primer but once the holidays are over I will definitely try it out.

Pyt Mini Ceramic Styler in Pink

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $75

This think is so itty bitty and cute. I have long hair and have non purpose for this but it is so freaking cute it is like the size of my hand so cute. On that though why the hell is this $75 dollars I can get a BaByliss mini straightener for less then that it seems inflated alot but still cute. Even if I get like no use out of it.

This was like the weirdest box it was everything I don’t want or need or use or anything like that but it was fun. It was really different to get a hot tool in a box so that was like the big whoop of the box even if it is kinda a weird item.

Just squeaking this in there this month. I have been busy and I just ran out of time trying to try out everything and work ad planning for trips and holidays and all that chaos that comes with life. That said I was pleasantly surprised with this box.


I really loved how everything was kinda black and gold this month it looked so pretty and cohesive. As well as being a nice nod to the holidays.

Bodyography Makeup Brush Cleaner

Full Size: 4 oz

Full Size Cost: $19

Sample Size: 2 oz

Sample Value: $9.50

This is one of those few times that Boxycharm doesn’t send a full size. This brush cleaner was just ok. I didn’t love it I usually don’t like spray cleaners. This didn’t get my brushes that clean.

F.A.R.A.H. Z-Tweeze Dual Ended Tweezer in Galaxy Gold

Full Size: Yes

Full Size Cost: $12

I love the gold splotches very pretty. These tweezers are ok they arent as sharp and grippy as my Tweezermans that I love but these work fine. I may pass these on or I may throw them in my travel drawer.

LuxieBoxycharm Limited Edition Luminous Eye Set

Full Size: 4 brushes

Full Size Cost: $21

Well this is interesting these are “limited edition just for Boxycharm” being sold on sale on Luxie for $21 the same non limited edition and totally not different other then coming in a box is being sold full price for $30 Huh? The gold is pretty a nice change from their usual pink. I really love Luxie brushes but their mini brushes like these I don’t like for me. They are still the same great quality the size is just to small for the way I like to do my makeup I prefer the normal size but they brushes are still very nice.

Cover FX Glitter Drops in Nova

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $44

Holy crap this is expensive! Like who is spending $44 on a liquid glitter? This is something I expected to hate and was not excited to see in the box and then I tried it and I think I am in love. IT IS SO PRETTY AND FEELS SO NICE. It strangely dries matte feeling on your skin so you don’t get that annoying oily sticky feeling a product like this would normally leave on your skin. It is also so gorgeously shiny and magical on the skin I love it.

I swatched it really thick so you can see the gold color and the glitter and then blended out like how a relatively more sane person would wear it. I am not above wearing a thick bold swipe of this to the right event or the grocery store you know no fucks given.

Ace Beaute Grandiose Palette

Full Size: 15.2 g

Full Size Cost: $24.99

This is the palette I have not had the chance to try but I love the colors in it red toned colors are some of my favorite. This swatched really pretty but kinda chunky so we shall see. That doesn’t necessarily mean bad it usually means wear you put it on your eye is wear the pigment is and it doesn’t blend much which is how I like my shadows so I am excited.

I was happier then I thought I would be with this box solely because of the dark horse hit those glitter drops.
