 Front of card

Back of card


 Front of coupon: Mali beads


Here is the coupon code: BOXYCHARM for $20 off









I'm excited about this! The directions say to apply to my face and let it dry. I love the green color, right? Cover my face with green slime... in order to be prettier. That sounds like me. This is supposed to tighten skin, diminish fine lines, and enhance blood circulation. That sounds good. lol. 





This is my first kabuki brush! I'm excited to finally have one even though this one is TINY! The brush is more dense than I thought it would be. There was some shedding though.... so not sure about that $29.99 price tag! 


 Out of the tube! GOLD!
 Out of the sun. Click (or select the photo) to see it closure.
 In the sun! So beautiful.


This is interesting! I love the packaging, I love that there is pineapple, green tea, and vitamin C! It says you can use it as a regular highlight under brow or on cheeks and inner corner of they eye. OR... mix it with your foundation for a subtle glow! Or even... in a lotion.

I've read a few places that this company is launching their own subscription box! How does that work? lol. I mean.. will it just be THEIR products? Hmm. 






This is from their nude line - color Volume IV - I didn't want to take off my coral nail polish (because I just put it on yesterday lol) so I just took off the ring fingers and added this nude shade. I LOVE this color. I love how nude colors look on my hands. This is ONE COAT. Such an amazing formula. Not streaky, Self leavening is nice. 







I'd like to start saying that a lot of people got a "Doucce Click Click Lipstick" rather than this in their boxes. My heart is shriveling up and dying every time LIPSTICK is an option and the cosmos aren't in alignment in time for me to get one. WHAT do I need to DO... in order to get the sticks for my LIPS?!  Plus.... it clickclicks.. to open? I might just buy myself one. Shame. 

Moving on.... this pinkie lavender shade is unusual and on any other day I'd be thrilled with it. I like cargo eyeshadows.

Total spent for the bag: $21
Total bag is worth: $117.99
Total saved: $96.99

MAY REVIEW


I like this bronze shimmer for my temples and what not (I don't use it on my cheeks) it leaves a nice glow on my pale-ish skin without looking dirty.


Perfection. I love this COLOR and formula. The Lip Bar has crazy shades though so I'm not sure how soon I'll be purchasing another of their lipsticks.


This is amazing! I tried the darkest shade first because my brows are BLLLACKKKKK. It was TOO dark though. I prefer the middle brown shade. I use the lightest shade as an eyeshadow! This is a VERY pigmented little trio. I have to use a REALLY light hand with it.


The spoolie on this brush is normal. Nothing FANTASTIC to say about it lol but I have a complaint about the brush end. It is SO stiff that sometimes I forget and try and run it through my brow BACKWARD.. and it huuuuuuuurts. OUCH. I've done it TWICE and it was painful. I still use it every day though. lol. 


I didn't have a color like this. I like the formula well enough. I'll always enjoy trying new colors of polish!

Thank you so much for following along.

☼☼March Boxycharm Unboxing☼☼

This is a OIL-FREE (I didn't realize this) tonic with daisy flower extract and hyaluronic acid that helps to reduce redness, swelling, and brighten and whiten skin! This doesn't have a smell which is good for having it on my sensitive skin. I've tried it twice since getting it and I really enjoy it. 

The directions say specifically to use the dropper to put 5 drops on your fingertips and rub them together quickly to warm it before applying it first to the top of your face then another five drops for the bottom half of your face. It soaks into your hands pretty quickly so don't rub them together too long.

Of course.. I doubt I'd ever repurchase a face serum like this at $48 a POP! WHEWWWW. I didn't want to wash it off my HANDS because it felt like I was washing off gold. Ha ha. Dramatic? Maybe... but true 'nuff.

2. Oscar Blandi Dry Shampoo Spray - 1.2 oz Value $9 (comes out white)



I noticed that other people were getting other Oscar Blandi products in their boxes! Dry shampoos can never combat the oil in my hair but I'll give this one a go. I have heard of Oscar Blandi products but it has been years since I've seen or used them. I wonder if this is their come back attempt! I would have preferred to get the mousse I see others have received. Since, I have naturally uber wavy hair that I LOVE using mousse in.

3. OFRA Eyeliner in "Coffee Bean" - FULL SIZE! Value $13






Love this! First Ofra is one of my absolute favorite companies so I'm glad to try something else of theirs. I own like 6 colors of eyeliner and I've never bought a brown for myself. I have to say I like how light and dark I can make it and it isn't too sharp for my eyelid. Just soft enough!

4. LVX Nail Lacquer in "Lemondrop" - FULL SIZE! Value $16




First layer



Second layer



Third layer


 I was excited that I got the lemon-drop shade of polish. I'm not impressed with this formula even though it has a large purchase price. It took three coats (I've never had to do three) to get coverage and I'm not sure if you can tell by the third layer picture it is STILL patchy. I'll keep this to use for designs though. There were two other shades that charmers received (Mynt and Deco)

5. Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint in "Charmed" - FULL SIZE! Value $24


 Before and after on my lips



Also, it came with this 20% off coupon in the box!



SWEET! I love Tarte. I'm excited for the coupon too. I like this pink for Spring and I don't own any of their lip crayons (there are 12 shades.) It has a minty flavor that is subtle once on the lips. 

Total spent for the bag: $21
Total bag is worth: $110
Total saved: $89

That is a win!
