Boxycharm August 2016 box

BOXYCHARM is a makeup and beauty subscription box that sends out 4-5 deluxe and full size samples every month. In the past the items have been mostly full-size products and the boxes have been able to maintain a high value.

Everything in the August BOXYCHARM!

Beauty For Real Shadow Stx ($19) The shade I received was Ever Starstruck and it’s a perfectly versatile champagne color. This shadow is creamy on application, smudgeable, and then boom, it just stays.

This is a perfect highlighter shade! Love this one.Boxycharm August 2016 (4)

Dirty Little Secret Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick ($10) Oh wow, this is RED.  It does go on matte (and please, don’t use your cell phone to apply, because if you make a mistake it’s very difficult to fix).

Unfortunately after wearing for a while it wore off in an unattractive ombre pattern – and totally got all over my keyboard. Dumped this one.

Aloette Time Repair Serum ($48) This serum has a clean, almost soapy scent. It uses green tea extract and alpha & beta hydroxy acids to smooth skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is a nice product, although I think the price is super inflated.

AmpliLash Amplifying Mascara Serum ($23) The card promised bold and full lashes but I only got well-defined and pointy lashes as a result. Like the lipstick – another a not-for-me item.

Coastal Scents Blush and Bronzer Mini Palette ($13.95) Yay, a full-sized mini palette. Boxycharm loves putting palettes in their boxes, and it’s so handy.

Inside the palette – blushes, a contouring/highlighting powder, and 2 bronzers.

Really highly pigmented!

The value of this month’s Boxycharm was about $123, which was a bit inflated by the serum – and 2 of the products were total duds for me. This was only a so-so box after I used all the products, but I’m happy with the palette and eyeshadow.

Your first box will always be the current month’s box, unless they say otherwise on their site, so if you want this box (remember that there can be variations for this box), sign up before the end of the month!
