BoxyCharm August 2019 Review/Photos


I'm falling behind...yikes! Here's August 2019, enjoy!


Wander Beauty Glow Ahead Illuminating Face Oil - Yes, face oils are all the rage but Wander Beauty stands out. It helps brighten, moisturize, and improve the appearance of skin over time. They recommend 2-3 drops; I choose to double that amount. The gorgeous pink pearlized does everything it advertises. While the glow is subtle - they’re definitely improving my skin. I only wish the pink glow was more prominent. Retails for $42.

Tarte Big Ego Mascara - I have a new favorite mascara! The case/package is such a neon pink that it can barely be photographed. With 1 coat my lashes popped more than any other mascara. And 3 coats will lift your lashes and delivers a fully-loaded look that lasts up to 16 hours. Retails for $23


PÜR Pink X Barbie Glitterally Pink Signature Brightening Peel Off Mask - I was torn with this mask; it's a brilliant glitter peel off (yay) but another brightening (ugh) mask. That wasn't the only benefit it offered as the main selling point. It was quite stellar at deep cleaning our my pores. Bring on more of these masks! Retails for $26



Lashaholic Lashes - Of the many subscription boxes I have over many (many, many) months - never have I ever received lashes. CRIMINAL. I'm unfamiliar with this brand and hope more lashes are to come in future boxes. These lashes were a bit of a struggle. As you can see from the photos they look beautiful and have a thick lash line for the illusion of eyeliner. The thick band made is difficult to apply, more so than my other lashes - I spend 30 plus minutes. Skip these! Retails for $15

Becca Hydra-Mist & Refresh Powder - Winner, Winner chicken dinner! Like setting sprays I don't use setting powder. It's 90% cause I'm lazy hehe. I have a basic $5 drug one that it pretty terrible and turns my skin ghost-like sheen. But this Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder is unlike any other. It's offered in 2 shades in this weightless powder. It's formulated with 50% water, so when applied it has this cool mist-like effect. Ultra-fine, light-reflecting powders float over skin to smooth and blur the look of fine lines and imperfections. Reapply it as needed to keep makeup looking fresh all day. Retails for $39
