boxycharm march 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.

The March theme was Sweet Treats!

 The information card now doesn’t have any info on the products and they’re not on the website (the last month up is December).  FYI – this box sometimes has no variations between subscribers. This month there were significant ones – see the box variations in the March spoilers post.

Everything in the March BOXYCHARM!

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows! ($6 each – Matte Shade and Duo Chrome ShadeI’ve really been wanting to try this brand so I was excited about these. I was a bit bummed that both colors were neutral (I get so many Taupey that I want something wild) but the duochrome satisfied my need for something different.

I think I have a magnetic makeup palettesomewhere around here to store the pans in  but if you have any recommendations let me know!

boxycharm march 2016 IMG_7215Catherine Malandrino Style de Paris ($16) Eek! Mine leaked everywhere. I didn’t ask for a replacement but I have always had good customer service with Boxycharm! This scent is floral and fun with a good dose of exotic citruses.

boxycharm march 2016 IMG_7216 Luxie Rose Gold Small Contour Brush ($16) This brand shows up in quite a few boxes and I can’t say I am unhappy with getting another one because they’re good quality – and pink with rose gold accents! The brush itself is synthetic/vegan and features an antibacterial coating.

Chella Universal Eyebrow Pencil ($18) I like this pencil – it works really well for me to help define and tame my crazy brows. and it’s a good color for my natural brows. It might be too light for some subscribers though.

boxycharm march 2016 IMG_7217OFRA Body Illuminizer in Charmer ($15?) I was excited to see this item when I opened my box. I was simultaneously bummed to not get the Clark’s but that’s the way subscription boxes go!

And really well on my palm! This reminded me quite a bit of that Jergens (I think!) body luminizer that was everywhere last year.

I thought this was a good month with some really great items, but the value in this box was way lower than in the past – I came up with $77. Even if I pumped up the value of the body luminizer by doubling it the value would be $92 – lower than what we’ve seen in the past from this subscription. I do wish that the eyeshadows had been a little more fun – I loved the promotions they did around the box with Manny Gutierrez! I was also a little iffy about two perfumes in a row – what did you think?

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 there are significant variations this month), sign up before the end of the month!

    I received the same items. I was disappointed that I did not receive the eye product, but I guess I can use the shimmer product for special events. I loved the brow product. Our box appears to be the cheapest version out of the boxes that I have seen. I hope the next box is a little better.
