Boxycharm Novemeber 2019 - Photos/Review

Boxycharm decided to elevate themselves and their plans. With 3 different plans available (although BoxyLuxe and Boxy Premium are on the waitlist for MONTHS.) Boxycharm went up in $5 per month in price - they told us it was due to the fact of nicer products. I can attest. This box is my favorite in quite awhile. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ITEM! Keep it up Boxy and get me off this waitlist! :)

Boxycharm set of 2 brushes - The large multipurpose powder brush is perfect for liquids, creams, powders or mineral products. The foundation brush has an oval base to help with precise foundation placement and seamless blending. These ultra-soft brushes are hand-crafted, synthetic and cruelty-free. Retails for $35

Vitamasques Morning Goggle Eye Mask in Brighten and Protect - When I opened the package I wondered where the mask was until I noticed it was so small...and it was a superhero shaped eye mask. Geek out! I feel like Stargirl wearing this. LOVE.    This mask protects against pollution and blue light. It brightens and helps your puffy-eyes. Retails for $7

BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter - I'm thrilled to receive another BECCA product. This company has been happy whenever I have their product. This highlighter blends pigments with liquids, creating a creamy feel that applies seamlessly and never cakes. The award-winning highlighting powder comes in over a dozen shades. Retails $39

Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Thunder Eye Shadow Palette - I was in awe of this palette when I saw it in the box. I look forward to playing with these beautiful colors. 12 shades of vivid pigments, shadows, and glittery foils. Retails for $44

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment - This was the 1 item I picked for the new customization. A proprietary blend of fruit stem cells and Vitamin C infused into certified organic, antioxidant-rich botanical juices works to reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes and minimize the appearance of dark circles. Retails for $50

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

Ipsy Glambag March 2019

 

March's bag is a metallic, rose gold that has an imprint of the phrase "and off she went to change the world." I approve of this message!

 

P.S. The font below got out of control and stuck...sorry :(

 

SPACE CASE COSMETICS Eyeshadow in Alien Love Child - deep violet/lavender with hints of iridescent. The texture was almost putty like and has great color payoff. Not to mention, out of this world packaging! :) Retails for $9

GOOD MATTE. RETAILS FOR $19

Ipsy Glambag November 2018

November's Glambag is uber cute. A rich, deep electric blue with pattern black hearts. Definitely my kind of style! This month has some winners and losers....

Juice Beauty's Illuminating Primer - this is a versatile product. Not only with its glow you can wear alone, or how it was created - as a face primer. Retails for $36

ORIBE HAIR CARE's Dry Texturizing Spray -  when I opened this Glambag and saw Oribe's Texture Spray, I was stoked. But it was a disaster! It's not a dry shampoo, although it is similar. When I spray on my roots and dried to brush my hair out, all these white flaking specs showed up on my head. It looked as if I had lice all over. FAIL, TO THE EXTREME. Retails for $30

THEBALM COSMETICS' Nude Beach Eyeshadow in Brave - soft eyeshadow that can be used wet or dry. I dislike the color, due to so many eyeshadows coming in that dull shade. Retails for $8

PIXI BY PETRA's LipLift Max in Honey Sheen - claim to plump your lips - it DOES NOT. But this gloss is a pretty peach sheen with shimmers. Retails for $14

MAC's Strobe Light in Pinklite - Originally this item didn't come in my bag and when my roommate offered to trade...I jumped on that quickly. This creams helps brighten your skin with a luminating, iridescent glow. GORG. Retails for $34

Ipsy Glambag October 2018

 

 

For October, I was expecting a glambag more in the spirit of the season. Not gonna lie - it's UGLY. But inside are some FANTASTIC products.


SLMISSGLAM's L50 Lilac Sparkle Eye Blender - I'm obsessed with this brush! It's memorizing beauty...that is all. Retails for $10


GRACE & STELLA's BlackHead Removal Mask - cooling as it sits on your face, this mask pulls out the dirt and grime from your pores. Retails for $12


M.A.C.'s Little Lipglass in Love Child - MAC is one of my favorite brands since the beginning of time. While I prefer matte colors, shimmering Lipglass is not a product I don't like. Retails for $10


PIXI BY PETRA's Mesmerizing Mineral Duo in Plum Lace - the lighter shade makes a great highlighter dupe. Retails for $12

INC.REDIBLE's You Glow Girl Iridescent Jelly Highlighter in Cosmic Blur - this product is something I've never had in my possession and it's stunning. It's a iridescent jelly highlighter that can be packed on. Retails for $15

Ipsy Glambag August 2018

August's bag is a orange canvas like material. Very basic. :(


LARITZY's Lipstix in Plum - lip liner and lipstick all in one, this glides on fast and smooth. Retails for $20

HIKARI COSMETICS' Cream Pigment Eyeshadow in Fierce - shimmery, burgundy color that has staying power. Retails for $13

GLOW FOR A CAUSE's Lip Love Lip Balm in Flirt - has a delicious watermelon scent, with a fair tint of pink. Personally, I can't notice when applied - but it's buttery smooth on your lips. Retails for $6

CROWN BRUSH's Blush Highlighter Brush CB106 - Retails for $6

CIATÉ LONDON's Glow-To Highlighter in Moondust - BEAUTIFUL and blendable, this highlighter moves to the top of the list. Retails for $32
