Pur-lisse Skin Sparkle Flash Tattoos - 1 sheet $12
Are peoples' wrist this small? I'll try all of these as rings most likely. This is the only item in the that I didn't love. I don't hate it through and I'm glad that I finally have some since they are so popular right now.
Here is a short video of these flash tattoos.
This is a clear primer that is silicone based but extremely velvety once it is rubbed in. I used it right away and it held my highlight perfectly. I remember hearing someone has some issues with it, because it seemed that her makeup came on quicker with it on. I can't wait to use this more and see how it does! Especially since this item alone pays for the box. -paraben-free, dye-free, FD&C/D&C free. It also goes a long way!
This is a part oil and part tanner! You use a couple of drops a day which you rub between your hands then on your face, neck, and decolletage. It is gradual so you won't notice a difference at first. It does smell like self tanner which I don't mind but some might. I'm glad to have this because it is also really moisturizing! I'll use it every morning probably. An item that pays DOUBLE the box it comes in!
Their website says:
"Powered by: maracuga: rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin C known to replenish and rebuild for firmer, brighter, smoother skin and maximum hydration. Allantoin: Helps heal and soothe skin. Larch extract: nourishes and helps prevent moisture loss. And of course the Self-tanning complex: allows for natural-looking bronze color with anti-inflammatory effects."
Also, I'm really impressed that there is no shipping added for Boxycharm as this is a VERY sturdy heavy glass bottle and the dropper is glass as well as you will be able to see in the video added below. It feels very much like a luxury item!
This lip liner is a pencil (must sharpen yourself) and isn't the easiest to apply to my lips but I'm not that great with lip liners anyway. They never feel creamy enough! This color is DARK on my lips as you can see from the before and after pictures below. On their website this is the only color they sell. In the examples on the website they make it look more orange-y/natural on the before and after model. You can see though it is a dark-ish plum color though.
Here is a swatch (on the LEFT) of the lip pencil in comparison to the next item in the bag. They are meant to match but too me they don't match at all. I like how they compliment each other though which you'll see down below as well! On the website it says that this is the only lip pencil you'll ever need but I can imagine using this for all my colors. It is just way to dark! It's supposed to enhance your "true lip tone." They also suggest that you use this to even our your lip tone and just use clear gloss on top of it. That is clearly not my case and I'm by no means an extreme in fair or dark.. I'd say I have medium skin tone/lips!
Comes with a mirror on the back and a light with a button on top to turn it on and off. I like this because those with lights usually stay on and no one wants a light shining on their face every time they touch up their lip gloss in full sunlight!
I really like this lip cream! When I saw what everyone got in their bags I assumed this was a lip gloss (which I hate!) but it isn't. This is just a lip cream that glides on and feels like a lipstick. I love it and the color.
Their website suggests about this product as well that it "enhances and defines your own lip color for a natural look" I think this is more true of the product than the lip liner! I do like them together though as you can see below in the before and after shots that once this color is put on over that lip liner it makes it a much more "kylie jenner-ish" darker pink nude! I like both.
Before:
Just the lip cream in "always there":
The lip liner and the lip cream together:
Here is a swatch on my hand as well so you can see them without my lip color muddling them. On the far right is the lip cream by itself, in the middle is the lip liner alone, and on the far left are the two together!
Total

Total

That is
a win! I think Boxycharm is my new favorite subscription! This is the first bag/box where I have liked everything and that is the LARGEST WIN EVER! I got this one late (in February) because I signed up super late in January so I'll be getting the February box soon! I'm really excited. I cancelled Lip Monthly and Love with Food for this box and it was clearly the BEST change ever.
Thank
you so much for following along.
