BoxyCharm May 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 May theme was Spring Vibes!

Everything in the May BOXYCHARM!

I had to show all the packaging together – all pink and rose gold! The blush and polish are discussed below.

Ella Mila BonBon Collection Nail Polish ($10.50)

Makeup Geek Blush Compact in XOXO ($15)

Starlooks Ultra Longwear Mechanical Lip Pencil ($19.50) The lip pencil, which is swatched below, was a good color, nice and creamy, and had good staying power! This is a Boxycharm exclusive. Or is at least printed with boxycharm on the label.

This color is called Pistache. I love the name and the softy light mint color. It’s 5-free, vegan, and bears the PETA bunny on the box! This is a great spring item.

BoxyCharm May 2016 (4) I am not sure what it’s called but the case color is that tan colored silver. I liked it. BoxyCharm May 2016 (5)

This blush is swatched below and to be quite honest, the color XOXO is a bit off in my photo! It’s a brightish pink and super creamy and pigmented. It’s kind of a wow item and almost makes up for the fact that this is not a Manny Mua item. (Boxycharm we love you, but we want Manny’s things!). Anyways, the blush is talc- and paraben-free – and cruelty-free too! I loved it!

Pur Minerals Double Ego Eyeliner in Madagascar ($21) One end liquid, the other a creamy pencil. My color was a pretty olive that’s quite dark. The liquid side is quite waterproof. I was impressed with this – and it has absolutely terrible reviews online.

Swatches! Blush (that’s two lines of blush because I was messy), lip pencil, liquid eye, and two different swipes of the eye pencil. I guess my brain was going for some bizarre symmetry.

The BrowGal Eyebrow Gel ($20) For protecting and dealing brows – even through yoga and swimming! I didn’t test this one out. Has anyone tried it yet?

Catherine Malandrino Romance de Provence ($20) Boxycharm always does right with large travel size sprayers for perfume samples. To me this fragrance was more fruity than floral so although it’s sweet it was a win for me! Birchbox says it has “jasmine, orange flower, rose, violet and lily (all against a backdrop of powder musk, amber, and patchouli).” If you asked me, I’d tell you it had good smells.

The value of this month’s Boxycharm was about $106, which is fantastic! Even if you’d never pay those prices (I would never pay more for brow gel than that luscious blush!) I think it’s totally worth it, and I love that Boxycharm really sticks to including actual makeup in the boxes most of the time.

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!
