BoxyCharm July 2019 Review/Photos

Boxy’s theme for July was Au Naturale. How do you feel about it? I don’t feel they all fit under that theme but for the most part, I am approving of these products. Only 1 product did I not like. 😞 Elemis and Boxy put a flyer for a $10 facial at Ulta - cause my subscription boxes sit by my bed for a couple weeks being backlogged I didn't notice it until the appointments sold out. SAD PANDA!

Elemis Superfood Vital Veggie Food Mask - Wheatgrass, Kale, and Nettle replenish the skin to nourish, smooth and brighten. Elemis provided its amazing night cream I raved about in the Limited Skincare Box; It makes your skin softer, smoother, more radiant. This is my second product from Elemis and I’m becoming a fan of the green(literally) company. I’m looking forward to their other products. Retails for $35

Appeal Deep Taupe Gel Liner - this liner is multi-functional as an eyeliner and lip liner. The shade is disappointing, y’all know how I feel about browns/taupes. Retails for $21

 Luxie Gaea 3 Piece Brush Set - I always look forward to Luxie's brushes, each time I get one or set that they have different patterns or textures. This time the brushes have an Eco theme with handles made of pink wood in the pouch that it came in being completely recyclable - how can you not love?   Retails for $30

Butter London Natural Goddess Eye Shadow Palette - it was a pleasant surprise receiving a Butter London palette mainly because I only thought they sold nail polish. I have so many fond memories of going to Sephora over the years and testing out all of their fantastic yet expensive shades. Glad to be elevated! This pallet has six highly pigmented, long-lasting shades ranging from matte, dark brown to metallic green with shimmer. Retails for $32

Alamar Mother Of Pearl Gloss in Corazon - This gloss hydrates your lips while showing off a shimmery, smooth, shining, iridescent effect. The last item I received from this company was the blush set and I was totally unimpressed, that’s partly because I don’t use blush. This gloss is non-sticky and works alone or as a topper. Retails for $10

BoxyCharm April FOMO 2019 - My First Month!

 

I heard of BoxyCharm in passing over the past year, but it wasn't until my coworker raved about it. $21 a month for 4-5 full size products of quality brands. The box is also worth over $100! Every since I joined FabFitFun last year, I'm losing interest in my subscription boxes with mini products. #sorrynotsorry

April's box sold out and what they offered was a FOMO box (Fear of Missing Out). I appreciate that they have a backup plan when they sell out though. I was really impressed with my 1st box. I loved everything and only 1 item I was like "meh." Overall, I'm thrilled. However, I will say whoever handles they're social media...needs a lesson. They don't respond to customers. To me - it seems the pages are only there to promote the business. And in this day and age? Pointless. Customer service is everythang!

Luxie's Luminous Brush Eye Set - A set of 4 gold and glittery brushes for your eyes. Luxie seems to be the brand of choice of subscription boxes, but these are absolutely gorgeous. Retails for $30

Tatcha Dewy Face Mask - This set of 2 face masks are extreme high quality in skin care. Opening the package, it oozed out serum and I could feel the difference on my face. They are a more expensive product but your skin will know and thank you. Retails for $24

Suva's Protege Palette - Suva is a brand I'm not familiar with but I enjoyed the warm and cool toned pallet for work. The color payout is there with matte and shimmers. I'll be keeping an eye out for this company in the future. They also include 2 beautiful highlighters: 1 classic and 1 springy.  Retails for $34

Tarte's Tarteist Shimmering Lip Paint in Strike Gold - This gloss didn't photograph well, but you can still tell its a sheer gloss with high shine, gold tint and iridescent glitters. This shade pairs amazing with my Lime Crime gold Velvetine. Retails for $20

English Laundry No. 7 - This scent originally for men was changed into perfume for women. This item is the only one I'm not a fan of. Perfumes are a product I'm very picky with...well if you know me then you know I'm have standards with pretty much everything. I won't apologize! 😋 It has a mix of fruit and sandalwood for a aroma that gives me a headache. Full bottle retails for $90
