Boxycharm May 2021 Subscription Box Review

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.

This was a really great box this month so much fancy skincare.

Murad City Skin Overnight Detox Moisturizer

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $74

This was my choice for the month. This is a newer product from Murad so that is always nice to get new things in boxes. This is supposed to have antioxidants in it to fight against pollution and blue light. Idk how true all that is but I was not oassing up the chance to try a $74 dollar moisturizer.

Skin Inc My Daily Dose of Uplift

Full Size: 20 ml

Full Size Cost: $65

I have seen these Skin inc bottles for so long in various formulas but I never knew anything about them. This is an anti-aging one with collagen and HA and Coenzyme q10. so this is really cool but I can also tell I will use this up really fast if it lasts me more then a month I would be shocked it isn’t even a whole ounce.

Beekman 1802 Dewy Eyed Illuminating Eye Serum

Full Size: 15 ml

Full Size Cost: $42

Beekman has like captured my interest hardcore. So this was an amazing surprise to get in this box and will 100% be the next eye cream I use after my current one. The Beekman packaging is so extra but so fun and special but also I wish they had a an option to get it with out all the crazy packaging because I know that would bring the price down enough to make it accessible.

Ciate Shadowflip in Ember

Full Size: 1.2 ml

Full Size Cost: $20

This is not nearly as pretty or shift as any that I own from indie brands and it is not as opaque and easy to work with as the Stila ones. This is also tiny so I’m sure I can use it up but like it is very much a let down of a color and formula. Swatched Below.

Sophia + Mabelle Hydrating Hybrid 2 in 1 Lipstick Balm in Topless

Full Size: 3.5 g

Full Size Cost: $18

This does feel really nice on my lips but I am not sold on this color at all. It is very light and weird. But I will see if I can grow used to it since it is so comfortable feeling.

This was a really good month I really really happy with all of the skincare I got this month.

So this arrived super late like I got it April 27th or 28th and suspiciously my tracking info (the only one I ever got) said it was a replacement. Very Curious. But I got really good stuff this month so I am not complaining.

Earth Harbor Aurora Superfood Luminance Ampoule

Full Size: 30 ml

Full Size Cost: $32.00

This felt really nice on my face but it is very greasy so this is definitely a night time face oil. This was my choice for the month and I picked it in sorta a eh there’s nothing I really like type of way but I am satisfied with it.

Be a Bombshell Lip Gloss in Rendezvous

Full Size: 3 g

Full Size Cost: $14

I hate lip glosses. I extra hate really colored lip glosses because they are so messy. I will pass this along so I am not unwrapping it and swatching it.

Tarte Maneater Mascara

Full Size: 0.3 oz

Full Size Cost: $23

I have had good luck with Tarte Mascaras I love Big Ego and I know this is a favorite of many so when ever I get through my mascara collection I will be excited to try this.

Natasha Denonna Jubilee Palette

Full Size: 5 shades, 12.5 g

Full Size Cost: $48

I know alot of people were really upset with this palette because of the color scheme, but I really don’t mind it. It is unique it plays well with the other Natasha Denonna palettes I have. I know this is not super cohesive there isn’t an endless array of looks you can make with this but that is ok with me.

The Creme Shop 123 Smile Shading Cream Trio Palette in Light

Full Size: 3 shades, 12 g

Full Size Cost: $18

I think medium would have been better but the tones of this palette are really good they are all grey leaning which is exactly what you want for a contouring shade. How cute are the little smiley faces though? They just make me smile lol. I am also really happy to have some more cream contours to play with.

So for each swatch I did a heavy line and then a blended out line for a better effect of what it would really look like in use. You can see that the lightest shade doesn’t really show up on me.

Wow a mostly makeup box it has been probably close to a year or more since that has happened. I am really happy with this box this was the most fun I’ve had opening a Boxycharm in a while.

Well this month is much better than last month.

Kab Lip Oil in Honey Dew

Full Size: 6 g

Full Size Cost: $20.00

This is is like a lip oil but with the thickness of a gloss but it isn’t sticky at all and I surprisingly don’t hate it. It is totally clear on the lips so even though this comes in a bunch of shades they are all the same shade of clear and the same flavor. It claims the flavor is Coconut but it is more lightly fruity.

Glow Recipe Banana Souffle Moisture Cream

Full Size: 50 ml

Full Size Cost: $39

This was my choice for the month but I chose it to give to my gf. I wasn’t at all interested in any of the choices this month and this is a product I know she likes. I can’t stand the banana scent.

Maven Beauty Rose Water Setting Spray

Full Size: 100 ml

Full Size Cost: $22

$22 dollars on fashion nova…..wtf……. I am sure you guys are as sick of reading it as I am of saying it but I can’t use this because allergic. This is a really shadey product this feels very overcharging for private labeled items type of thing.

Lime Crime Venus III Palette

Full Size: 6 g

Full Size Cost: $38

So I have wanted this palette for over a year but had never bought it and I am pretty excited to be able to get it in Boxycharm. I am also glad I never purchased it because the quality and the shades once swatched are just fine they are nothing special the three shimmery/glittery shades at the top don’t have alot of base color so they are really just toppers. But she real cute and I am glad to add her to my collection.

The Beauty Crop Avocado Hydrating Eye Mask

Full Size: 3 pairs

Full Size Cost: $14

So there were 3 pairs of these eye gels but I used one as soon as I opened the box. It wasn’t great they did not stay on well they weren’t that hydrating or refreshing on relaxing they really didn’t do a whole lot of anything.

Well I am really happy about the palette and will get way more use out of the lip oil then I would have expected so I guess it was a successful box?
