☼☼ February Boxycharm Unboxing + January Review ☼☼

☼☼ February Boxycharm Unboxing + January Review ☼☼



Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription box that sends 4-5 full-size beauty/makeup products.

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

Cost: $21 per month (FREE SHIPPING!)

My referral link

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










This is the highlighter side (hi beam) on my hand below you can see it is slightly darker than my skin


Great shine: below




This is the blush end: Coral Crush. Below is a circle swatch and a line that was blended out beside it


These both are lovely colors and they blend wonderfully. This tube is huge though and can't be expected to be used as travel, even though the duality suggests convenience. Also they are sickly sweet scented which was driving me crazy just swatching them on my hand. I'm sure they would be noticeable on my face.

Claims:
Anti-aging benefits
Cream to powder
long wear
more youthful, even tone, healthy appearance
No parabens
No animal testing
Made in U.S.

Contains:
Luminera with a diamond core complex
Vitamin E
Grape seed extracts
Pomegranate extracts



How cute! It is dual sized, with the soft side meant to cleanse and tone and the buffer side should be used to exfoliate and stimulate circulation. This has a peony fragrance! I'm excited about this product. I think it is a great addition especially for Vday!

Claims:
14+ washes
cleanse, tone, exfoliate, stimulate circulation










Pricing explanation: Shray has a 5 mask kit for $30 that this mask is in. That would make this mask $6. However... this is has special "postcard" packaging that is limited edition and available for one mask for $12. Thought I would mention it... that you can get five of these but only in a pack for $20 or you can buy one in special gift packaging for $12... moving on.

yay! I looooove masks. I'm a face product collector. I love going through my stash and picking one when I have a moment to relax. 

Claims:
Hydrating
quench thirsty, ragged, dull skin
Contains hyaluronate (holds in water/plumps surface)
Instant absorption
pore tightener (rice extract)
Sebum control 
attract/hold moisture
helps seal in water
accelerate cell renewal
contains less than 0.25% preservative to prevent bacterial growth?




Why is everyone talking about banana powder like this is a thing? Who else makes banana powder? So ..lost. I can't imagine using this as a finishing powder but I will try it as many ways as I can fit in!

Claims:
wet or dry
all in one face powder
conceal dark eye circles
set your concealer
highlight
finishing powder
eye shadow



A sweet perfume is a nice change from the fresh ones but this is too much floral for me to enjoy. I'll actually try wearing it to see how it goes though.

Scent:
pomegranate
hint of persimmon
orchids
lotus blossom
champaca flower
amber
violets
mahogany wood

6.  Freeze 24-7 Anti-Aging Eye Serum - Deluxe Size - 0.23 oz $54.76 (Full Size 0.50 oz $115)

Sweet! Another eye serum. Keeping on sending them sub boxes. This one is so expensive. Yikes! It is scentless and clear.
Claims:

reduces dark circles/puffiness
lightweight/fast absorption, cooling,toning
age reversal
no tested on animals/no animal by-products
dermatologist tested/clinically tested

Total spent for the bag: $21
Total bag is worth: $129.76

The eye serum, body sponge, and face mask make me deliriously happy. The blush/highlight duo, perfume, and banana powder are meh items!

JANUARY REVIEW

  1. Coastal Scents Revealed Smoky Palette - Full Size - $19.95

    I was super excited to get a fourth revealed palette and I'm not disappointed! The colors are lovely with only two chalky colors.

  1. Blinc Mascara Amplified Tubing in "Black" - Full Size - 0.25oz  $26

    This lived up to the removal claims. It is by far the easiest and most amazing mascara to remove from my face. It effortlessly glides off. It just doesn't give me any lift/curl or volume at all.. so if you want an easy mascara that just colors your light lashes, this is your mascara! Ha ha

  1. Royal and Langnickel Revolution Boxycharm Brush Set - Full Size - 3 for $23.97

    I love these brushes! The matte feel is great, they are soft and efficient brushes. 

  1. Ardency Inn Modster Smooth Ride Supercharged eyeliner in "Grey" - Full Size - $20

    I'm still not sure about this liner. It is a grey color and it looks a little sloppy or worn off when I wear it. I've been wearing it under my lash line though and that has been much better. Next I'll try to wear it in a BIG wing though instead of a thin line.

Thank you so much for following along
