BoxyCharm May 2019


I've been having major problem with my packages arriving lately. When UPS and FedEx use USPS's SurePost, it has an issue of not arrive and being lost in the mail. It's a fact I cannot stand Sure Post. I understand it's a way for UPS and FedEx to save money on lighter weighting products, but it's only causing the buying issues. Oh, did I mention it also takes 3x as long in shipment...awesome right? Not to get on a rant but my point was in the last couple months I've had 3-4 packages get lost by USPS. Thats a high percentage. When my BoxyCharm for May appeared to be lost and the tracking was not showing any movement I contacted customer service. Since, UPS and USPS couldn't locate the package BoxyCharm sent a "one time replacement." 10 days later both boxes showed up 1 day apart. What are the odds! Check out all the goodies below...

GlamGlow Gentlebubble Cleanser - The first thing I notice when I open May's box was this cleanser. The oil slick rainbow packaging is the same as the tube. The cleaner is a white pearl shade with no fragrance. It's not as effective as it's bubble sheet mask, but a good cleanser non the less. Retails for $28

Milk Makeup Blur Stick - I first saw Milk Makeup at Sephora over the holidays. I added that to the listed of companies to try out (after Fenty Beauty). As bloggers who dish out there own money on these products y'all know it can be hard to drop a few notes on collections. I was excixted to try out the Blur stick, ehich creates a shine free bases for your fondation to help with fine lines and mininmizing pores. I found it to give my skin a gorgeous luminous glow, which you can't tell in  the photo below. 😒 I love that you can blend it in easily and wear it on your bare face ---- and go out. Retails for $36

Alamar Blush Trio in Meduim Tan - It's rare I'm happy when my box contains a blush, but a palette of blushes? UGH. I looked through Alamar's website and checked out thier products; they do not have a vast selection at all but had some charming colors. I didn't swatch the palette since I'm gifting this to my cousin. (sorry!) Retails for $22
Ciate London Eye Lustre Creme Eye Shadow in Ice and Cupid - I've never used liquid eye shadow mainly due to the fact it's terribly difficult to blend and creases. But color me impressed! Oh and the color, the beautiful glittery and irradcent shades. Ciate's Lustre is the sure fire winner. Ice is a white, frosted with diamond sparkles. Cupid is a rose gold that I can't even with the shade. When I moved my hand with the swatch it changes color, truly a stunning tint. They are able to blend well or use them as liners - which I prefer. Retail for $22 each




Pur Pro Eyelash Curler - This curler has the rainbow oil slick coloring making it uber attractive. Most I've seen in various stores are black or just kind of...basic bitches. I never use eyelash curler due to the fact my flat lashes won't curl with or without mascara. But Pur's curler actually did the trick, as the picture shows. Looks like I'll be incorporating this puppy in my routine. Retails for $18



Luna by Luna in Alien - I'm surious why they choose the name 'alien' for this partly pigmented shimmery taupe lip gloss. I needed to use a few coats. Retails for $18



Vintage by Jessica Lip Pencil in Cashmere - When I checked out Vintage's website this product is not listed, whether it's sold out or absolete. The other lip pencil is a more upgrade version in different shades for $26.

Steve Laurant Lip Gloss in Posh - a thick, creamy lip gloss in taupe/deep pink color. Claims to be lightweight but I found it be a little sticky and heavy. Not something I would go for - I gave it to my mom, who actually enjoys it (she says it stays on all day). Retails for $22
