Boxycharm August 2021 Subscription Box Review

nightmareb4

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 a few 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.

Super odd products this much which also really make up for not liking the palette at all for me.

Manna Kadar Hydrating Face Mist

Full Size: 180 ml

Full Size Cost: $9

This is the kinda product that would be super up my alley but it has rose water in it so I will pass it along to some one else.

Truly Pineapple Haze CBD Glossy Lip Butter

Full Size: 1 oz

Full Size Cost: $16

The swirl is so cute! I have wanted to try this brand for so long but it seems so pricey for what it is so it is super exciting to me to get something from Truly. This feels really nice on really smooth it is glossy but not sticky and I really like it.

Dr Lili Fan Probiotic XLash Enhancer

Full Size: 6 ml

Full Size Cost: $68

This was my choice for the month. I want to see how it compares to Grande lash which I use and does work. This is more month but ti is always nice to compare things to your favorites to make sure the favorites hold up.

Frank Body Booty Drops

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $17.95

This is a firming body oil. I don’t think this is gona do anything because shit like this never works. And i just don’t like Frank Body marketing it seems cheesy and very backhanded idk.

Laura Geller The Casual Collection Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 1.6 g x 12 Shades

Full Size Cost: $45

These colors as you know are not my jam very neutral and everyday. I am sure they are super nice and smooth but I rather be able to pass this on.

I really liked the variety and the lip butter and the eyelash thing and the spray things we don’t every really get but also really low value and the palette which is a big value chunk is not my speed. Two months in a row I got a palette I won’t use.

Total: $155.95

Total Value to Me: $101.95

I feel like all the reviews/quizzes I have done with Boxycharm are paying off a little because this box feels like some of that has been taken into account or maybe I just got lucky this month.

Illamasqua Unveiled Artistry Palette

Full Size: 1 g x 12 Shades

Full Size Cost: $40

This feels like really nice quality and I am always curious about this brand but these are not colors I would ever use so I won’t swatch this I rather pass it along all nice and new to some one who can appreciate it.

Basic Beauty Lip Oil in Summer

Full Size: 3. g

Full Size Cost: $18

So I have learned that I do love a lip oil this is pretty boring and not worth $18. It has no flavor which is not a positive to me. It is moisturizing but not life changing at the moment I will definitely use it up though so maybe my feelings will change.

Generation Skin Hydrating Marine Algae Patches

Full Size: 30 pairs

Full Size Cost: $49

These were really nice. I will say they don’t last as long as other eye patches I feel like all the moisture benefits were absorbed really quickly. Which is both good and bad good if you need fast hydrating before doing something which is a common way I use patches. But I want more of that indulgent self care moment from something so expensive.

Dermelect Outcrease Retinol Trifecta Serum

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

I will never turn down a retinol serum and this apparently has 3 types of retinols in it. And it is sold on QVC which is funny to me for some reason. I actually like Qvc no shade I find it relaxing to watch sometimes.

Outre 8 in 1 CBD Multipurpose Nutrient Mist

Full Size: 4 ml

Full Size Cost: $30

This is much more expensive then the nutrient sprays I am currently using on my hair and this is supposed to be used on wet hair which isn’t my favorite. I don’t know how I feel about this now that I have it. I picked this for the month because I was curious and I still stand by that it is very different then anything we usually get in Boxycharm Just a but weird. I also don’t get what CBD is supped to do for my hair, hair is dead I don’t know how CBD could benefit it.

Well I am much less angry then I was last month. Still not like the most exciting box of all time but much less angry then I was last month.

Total: $176

Total Value to Me: $136

This month looks impressive on the surface but I am kinda underwhelmed.

Jecca Blac Hydrate Primer

Full Size: 20 ml

Full Size Cost: $22.65*

This feels like a very standard primer it isn’t very exciting it is oddly being claimed as a pride thing which is confusing. Just a clear soft primer.

*$6.00 on Boxy’s website

Luna Magic Beauty Va-Va Voom Pink Lash Primer

Full Size: 9 ml

Full Size Cost: $6

First of all the audacity to say this is $25 dollars when you can buy it on Boxycharm’s own website for $6. I weirdly love the packaging of this it is soft touch and really muted and appealing. I kinda hope this leaves my lashes really pink so I can use it as a colored mascara because I don’t really use lash primers and I love the packaging enough to want to get use out of it.

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Mysterious Red

Full Size: 2.4 g

Full Size Cost: $27

This is a very interesting and pretty red it is some how dark and bright at the same time but also very blue based and orangey at the same time. This was my choice for the month and probably the thing I am happiest about.

Touch in Sol Pretty Filter Glowdient Makeup Palette

Full Size: 10 g

Full Size Cost: $9

You can’t buy this anywhere but on Boxycharm’s site for $9 dollars not $34. Now i opened this and was like ugh hate it. Then I swatched it and it is actually really pretty and a really nice texture not as glittery mess as it looks in the pan. This is easily number two in the box for me.

OPV Beauty Spotlight Eyeshadow Palette

Full Size: 1.6 g x 18 shades,28.8 g

Full Size Cost: $40.42*

This whole thing is a hot mess. *First of all it is listed at $40.42, but $12 on Boxycharm’s site. and this feels like a $12 dollar palette the quality is not there the shadows preform really inconsistently and underwhelmingly. The back says the palette is 1.6 g which makes no sense that would mean that each shade contains 0.09 of a gram of shadow that is tiny so I think they meant to say that each shade is 1.6 g.like this box really feels like a bunch of sale junk they got for free and are charging us for.

Look the value of this box is trash this is all discounted junk except for the one thing I picked out.

Look at the discrepancies in the value breakdowns

“Listed Value”: $146

Buying it (Not from Boxy where Applicable): $111.07

Buying it From Boxy Only (Where Applicable): $60

How fucked up is that?

I am not happy and Boxy’s customer Service is TRASH total TRASH I ordered some thing from them on April 2nd I just got it June 21st after having spoke to customer service twice; getting blown off and never getting any tracking information or updates if you are counting that is more then 60 days. WTF.
