Hi all! I received my April BoxyCharm this week! I always watch for the spoilers so I basically knew what I am getting. But, there were a few different variations this month.
I’ve been subscribed to BoxyCharm for about a year and a half now and really enjoy it. Boxycharm is just $21 a month for 4-5 beauty items, most of them full-sized. It is a nice way to try new makeup and beauty tools.
My version is 6. This month I received:
PUR Cosmetics Festival Pressed Pigment Palette – ($36 USD)
Artist Couture Diamond Glow Powder in Purple Dream – ($27 USD)
Bodyography Eye Pencil in Bali Bronze — (14 USD)
Appeal Trendsetter Holographic Lip Gloss ($21 USD)
Luxie Summer Daze Brush Set – ($28 USD)
The total value for this box is $126. Not too bad for a $21 box.
This is the theme and list of what I got. It’s a very festival themed box. There is a lot of shimmer and bright products in here. I think someone who loves glitter and going to festivals will LOVE this box!
I was happy to get more Luxie brushes. The are from top to bottom 245 Small Shader, 512 Small Contouring, and 209 Large Shader. They are nice quality, but I would love to see some other brands of brushes in BoxyCharm. I will use these, though. I really need to clean my brushes and having back ups are helpful!
I received the shade Purple Dream. Which is funny, because it looks golden peach in the container. It does have a purple flip to it. You’ll see the swatch in the photo below. It’s really glittery, and I don’t think I will wear it as a highlighter. I might try it as an eyeshadow or give it to my daughter.
This lip gloss is actually pretty nice. It feels smooth and not sticky. It’s a soft holographic and I think it would nice over a pink or nude lipstick, or just on it’s own.
The eyeliner is a shimmery brown. I will use it, brown eyeliner is my favorite.
Here are swatches:
From left to right is the highlighter, eye pencil and lip gloss. I’m going to try these out more and see if I enjoy them!
This is very fun! There are shimmers, mattes and pressed glitters. Here’s a few swatches:
These swatched okay. The glitters feel wet almost and swatched nicely, but I don’t really wear glitters. The shimmers on the bottom on my hand are the four on the top pf the palette. They swatched okay, but not the best. I’m going to have to play with it, and I might end up passing it on. Also PUR is a very nice brand, but they are in BoxyCharm a lot. I think BoxyCharm needs to bring in some other brands.
This box didn’t really thrill me, but I’ll use the brushes, and will test out everything else before I pass them on. Last month, I decided that in June, I’ll be choosing between BoxyCharm/BoxyLuxe and Ipsy Glam Bag Plus. You can see my April Ipsy GBP review here. I think Ipsy wins this month. I think the products are a bit better quality for the price. We’ll see what I think about May and June boxes. Also, BoxyCharm is supposed to be coming out with a limited edition skincare box in May. Hmm.
Do you get BoxyCharm? What did you receive this month in your box?
