Happy Boxycharm day, a bit delayed!
ICYMI, Boxycharm is my little suprise & delight every month: a subscription service that sends you 4-5 (or more) full-sized beauty and skin products a month for $20. As you'll see, the retail value of ONE item typically covers the price of the box, making it a pretty sweet deal. You can take my word for it (and view my past boxes & reviews here.)
Here's what I received in April:
Every Boxycharm had a ColourPop palette this month (so cool!) I almost ordered one awhile ago and I'm so glad I didn't, love when this happens! I was SO excited about receiving this gorgeous palette (seriously, check out the packaging) because I love their products I've tried (Lippie Stix + Super Shock Shadows.) Their shades are so unique, for example, the top left shade, Golden Egg, is a "pinky beige with turquoise glitter." However, though gorg up and down, I have to say, I like the formula of the Super Shock Shadows better. They have a mousse-y texture, while these have been a bit chalky in my opinion. I'll still be using it though!
+ Tarteist Pro Glow Liquid Highlighter in Exposed | retail value: $29
When it comes to highlighters, I haven't found a liquid one I really love. I've tested this a few times, and while I wouldn't grab it over one of my go-tos (Wet n Wild or Becca Champagne Pop) for a regular day, I've found it looks incredible on your cupid's bow! I know that's so random! I'll save it for when I'm being totally extra and wearing more than one highlighter. Also, always excited to try a new Tarte product.
+ Dr. Brandt Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner | retail value: $47
We've just about received the entire Dr. Brandt line via Boxycharm in the last year (PoreDermabrasion Exfoliator and Luminizer Primer - my fave) and these products are all about the same to me. I don't dislike them, I enjoy using them, and I appreciate that they are pricey because I wouldn't purchase them on my own. I never notice a huge difference either way, but after trying this mask one evening my boyfriend swears he broke out! So idk.
+ Adesse Hi Definition Liquid Lipstick in Haute Coco | retail value: $24
I wasn't even going to slam this when it was more of a gloss than a liquid lipstick OR because it's "just ok" all around - until the "doe foot" end broke off when I was applying! So this gets a solid thumbs down from me. If anyone has any ideas about how I could still use this with a broken wand, let me know!
+ The BrowGal Instatint Eyebrow Gel | retail value: $22
This surprised me by being my favorite item this month! And don't get me wrong, I already loved a tinted spoolie, but this one is noticeably better than my usual $3 Essence Make Me Brow. It's not as "wet"/messy and it has these little fibers that make your brows look amazing with just a swipe! I've been using this daily since I got it.
TOTAL VALUE: $148 !
Let me know what you received in your Boxycharm or other subscription service this month (literally always down to talk about make-up/products) and view my past reviews here!
