☼☼February Boxycharm Unboxing☼☼

UPDATE:

The Mistura Beauty Solutions C-2-P Complexion Corrector in my February box was broken when it arrived. I contacted Boxycharm because on their website it says to let them know about any damaged items. I wrote to them on Sunday night and I received a response on Thursday morning. This is the email I recieved:

"Venus replied:

Hello Michelle,

Thank you for contacting BOXYCHARM! We are so sorry to hear that your Mistura Beauty C2P Corrector arrived damaged! Please know that we have contacted Mistura and their manufacturing partner to inform them of the packaging defect. In an effort to prevent you from receiving another damaged Corrector, we have awarded 3,000 Charms for you to redeem any product(s) of your choice from our Reward Shop. If you don’t see a product that you like, don’t worry! Save your Charms as we are planning to add new products to the shop. You will see your Charms posted to your account within 3-5 business days.

PS: We have seen other Charmers put the product from the Mistura Corrector into a makeup pot and apply it using a little brush. They sell empty makeup pots in most beauty supplies or you can recycle one from any product that you have at home that you don’t use or are close to finishing.

We hope that this little BOXY-tip helps and that you love your next BOXYCHARM box! :D

Stay Charming!
Venus and your BOXYCHARM Team"

I'm EXTREMELY happy with this response! How great is that customer service? I didn't think to put the corrector in a pot. I will take her advice though! I don't think having it in a pot will bother me at all because I didn't like the idea of drawing on my face with it anyway. So, if you received a broken corrector make sure and CONTACT them about it!

Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription box with 5 high end products (4 full sized items + 1 luxury/deluxe item.) Nail care, hair products, skin care, and cosmetics!

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $21 per month (FREE SHIPPING!)

They only ship to 48 U.S. states. (They don't ship to Hawaii or Alaska yet.)

1. Jing Ai Velvet ShineLip Jewel Full Size in "Red Rascal" $22

Below is a before and after:

I love this! I mentioned it in my video unboxing but usually these lip crayons are just tinted and never have much pigment. I thought for sure this would be the same. I STOOD corrected though! This says pigmented and it for sure is. I love the bright red color and smooth texture. This might replace E.L.F.'s lip crayon in my heart.

2. ModernMinerals Duo Fiber Mini Round Brush $15 Full Size

Love this! It has a silicone feel. Which I know some don't like but it doesn't bother me personally. This is a small round stiff brush that I will probably use in my crease or for highlight.

3. Mullein& Sparrow Mini Facial Mask Jar $15 Full Size

Okay, yes... this is gorgeous. I'm in love with this. This little glass bottle... adorable. I want this just as decoration even if I didn't like the mask it makes. I do like it though! It makes a dark mask when water is added to it. I want to buy a little dish just to keep nearby to mix it in. Ha ha. Like old world apothecary.

4. NCLALos Angeles Glitter Nail Polish in "Heart Attack" Full Size $16

Yes! I will love every polish given to me. I can't have enough of them. I heard a tip that if you store these glitter polishes upside down that all the glitter falls to the top and when you use it they come right out! Rather than struggling to get hearts on certain fingers and evenly spaced out. Ha ha.

5. Mistura Beauty Solutions C-2-P Complexion Corrector 36.99CDN ($29.53USD) Full Size

 The only fail. This was broken when I opened up my box. Very disappointing when something like this happens. I don't think anyone is to blame really. Unless they were broken before sending them out. I've since heard that a lot of people had theirs open broken. It is too dark for me anyway I think. Still I contacted boxycharm about it and their webiste policy says that they replace broken items in the future box. So, I'm hoping for a different item in the March box rather than a replacement of this item.

Total spent for the bag: $21

☻☻February Lip Monthly Unboxing + January Review☻☻

Lip Monthly is a monthly subscription box for LIP products (plus one non-lip item.) Every month, they will send out a new set of lip products. Sometimes the lip boxes have different colors but usually they are all the same brand.

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $10 per month

They ship to the U.S., Canada, and Internationally

1. Be a... Bombshell Lip Gloss "Hooked" $14

Below is a before and after with this product

I actually really like this color and the feel of this gloss. I still would consider it a sticky gloss but I have to admit it is the least sticky that I've had on my lips. I'll use it once out of the house and if I still like it I'll keep it but if not I'll be passing it along.

2. So Susan Lip Dome Plumping Lip Tint in "Black Currant" $12

 Below is a before and of this product on my lips

 I love this plumping lip tint. It has a nice tingle in it without the mint flavor. In fact it smells just like berries! I adore the scent and the feel of this soft tinted lip balm product. The shape is extremely difficult to work with getting in corners though! Dome = not great. When are they going to come out with a RAZOR sharp lip stick shape?

3. Cargo Cosmetics Eye Shadow Single "Babylon" $16

I'm not sure how much I'll be reaching for a blue color like this but I'm excited to add it to my collection! It is soft and has a nice metallic sheen to it when swatched. 

4. Jelly Pong Pong Supermodel Lip&Cheek Stain $16

Top: Coral and Dark Pink
Bottom: White and Red

Below is the teeny tiny brush that came with this quad.

These are swatches the first two are the bottom left to right. The second two are the top left to right.

Below is:
The Red

 The Coral

 The Pink

 The White

I really like the feel of these! I didn't try them on my cheeks because I'm not into creamy blushes. I think only the "red" at the top is flattering to my complexion. Sadly, I'll be passing this along to my cousin. They feel super smooth on the lips and from what I could tell while wearing each one they are staining. I had a bit of a time getting them off my hand after swatching too!

Total spent for the bag: $10

Total bag is worth: $58

Total saved: $48

Let it be noted on here that the total on the card has the products as worth more but I used my totals straight from the companies websites. According to the card the bag total is $64.

Here is the video unboxing of this bag!

☼☼December Boxycharm Unboxing☼☼

So, I am now subscribed to Boxycharm! Technicallyyyy February's box (which I haven't gotten yet) is my first box from them. I have bought January's and Decembers boxes though. I posted January's unboxing already HERE. This is December's unboxing since it showed up after January's. Ha ha.

Boxycharm is $21 per month of 4-5 higher end full size beauty products. Nail care, hair products, skin care, and cosmetics!

I was not given this box. All opinions are my own. Based off my preferences! :D

Cost: $21 per month (FREE SHIPPING!)

They only ship to 48 U.S. states. (They don't ship to Hawaii or Alaska yet.)

 This box is BEAUTIFUL!

1. Eva NYC Hungry Hair Oil Treatment 30ml $12

This smells...ahhhhhhhhhhhhmazing. It has a semi-sweet scent like vanilla. I couldn't find an ingredient on the bottle that matched the scent. That is what I could come up with. I'm excited for this. I do have oily hair but it isn't the healthiest and usually I put this kind of thing on a hour or so before I shower at night so it doesn't make me overly oily through an entire day. (Description: with Keravis protein and argan oil, intensely nourishes, hydrates and smooths. For ALL hair types."

2. Mistura Beauty Solutions Retractable Brush $19.99

I love that this is travel ready! Some of the bristles were wrinkled and crunched up after I opened it but it feels nice. I like the amount of stiffness. Plus, I think it is beautiful.

3. Eyelashi Mink False Eyelashes in "Heartbreaker" $29

*Falls head over eyes in LOVE* Ha ha. I normally ONLY buy natural looking false lashes that just make my natural lashes look a little fuller or longer. This is for sure a false looking set but they are MINK? The BOX is to DIE for. I mean.. do you see the pattern on the box? Soooooooo LUXXXX!

4. Be a.... Bombshell Lip Gloss in "Kiss Off" $14

 Before and after below:

If you have ever read my blog.. you know that I'm NOT a fan of lip gloss. I have one or two that I keep around but I usually pass these along to my cousin because I get so many! This is a lovely color but I'll pass it along too. :D

5. Coastal Scents: Revealed Palette $39.99

 Below are swatches from this palette starting with the top left to right.

Below is the second row swatch but for some reason I was backwards... it swatches from right to left. Fail. You can tell because it starts with the black on the right side!

This is my first eye shadow palette so it already has a special place in my heart. That being said there are bright spots and ... fails. First there are no color names! I like the bottom row WAY more than the top row. I think I only like six colors from the top out of the 10. I like all the colors on the bottom. You can tell though that some of these swatches are a little lacking when it comes to pigment. 

Total spent for the bag: $21

Total bag is worth: $114.98

Total saved: $93.98

That is a win! This is my favorite beauty box! I can't wait to get my next one. I'm in HEAVEN.
