This has a subtle mint scent that I love! It reminds me of my grandmothers skincare. You are meant to apply a thin layer and leave it on 15-30 minutes until it dries. It doesn't feel like it dries hard like most do. It was extremely refreshing mask. It says to remove it with a damp wash cloth uses circular motions. I don't have patience for anything like that. I have sensitive skin though so I feel that the added exfoliating benefits are not needed for my skin. I just removed it with short swipes. My skin was pink for a bit after but it wasn't harsh.
Promises: antioxidant, vegan, smooth skin, glowing skin, purifies skin, absorbs impurities, cleans pores, defends against free radicals, reverse daily sun damage, cooling effect, soothes, refreshing, tingly, and leaves skin bright.
I'm sure the "brightening" ingredients are what left my skin pinkish.
Note the particles in mine?
Above on the left is a finger swatch on the right is a swatch blended out. The color is lovely for a cream blush. Nice and subtle. I'm not a huge fan of "pots" of product I have to dip my finger in! On top of that.. I've seen pictures of OTHERS who got this product and theirs didn't include these "specs". GROSS. I won't be using this on my lips at least. I probably won't reach for this....
This is after using this mascara. It clumped the lashes together quickly but gave nice curl, length, and stayed curled for more than four hours.
On the right is the it cosmetics hello lashes mascara and on the left is this doucce punk volumizer mascara. Both are said to add volume and length. Clearly the Doucce on the right is the longer!
This is a HUGE natural bristled brush. I liked using it. I like the effect it gave my lashes and look forward to giving it a good run. I recieved the it cosmetics mascara and this one at the same time. So I'll be alternating them until next month.
I've heard there were several items in boxes rather than this one. A shadow trio, a lip cream, and a blush! Which did you get?
This is creamy and VERY black which I love. It is a bit soft and easily smudged though. I wouldn't use this on its own. I would couple this with a primer and a liquid liner as well but I will use it! This is a wooden pencil for easy sharpening as well.
Below: First Coat
A wonderful color to get in October! I love this grey and I didn't have a color like it. It is a solid two coat polish but had self leavening issues. In the end it was opaque all but a small part by the cuticle. Nothing you'd be able to see out of intense lighting.

This is an almost PERFECT box this month with the exception of the lip/cheek stain. The polish, liner, mascara, and mask are all wonderful!
This scentless but nothing I can use daily. I use this after harsh masks otherwise I break out. It works well with the serum from Previse I have as well.
I...still haven't tried this. I will this month! Promise. I just haven't had time with school. I will add my thoughts on this I will add it on my next review.
I use this brush a lot! I like that it is flat sided. I use it for foundation and concealer.
This is a great gel. Doesn't leave my brow crunchy and is slightly tinted.
This is a BEAUTIFUL burgandy color that I love to use. The blending brush is useless though! I've tried using it and it didn't yield any results.
This was a bonus item in the box! I like the oil smell in this product and it makes the ends of my hair shiny and soft looking!
Both this month and last were wonderful boxes. Month after month I find SO much VALUE in Boxycharm.
Thank
you so much for following along.
