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 an amazingly high value.

TIP: BOXYCHARM is usually available through the end of the month. However their subscription is currently subject to a waitlist – I recommend signing up ASAP if you think you want the next box.

The August theme was “Beach Please.”

All the item info is on the back of the card.

Everything in my August BOXYCHARM!

Not everyone received these first two items – see the August BOXYCHARM spoilers post for more variations.

BellaPierre Gel Eyeliner in Ebony ($15) This was the first item I pulled out of the box and I was a little cranky that it was Bellapierre.

However, once swatching and using, I changed my mind! It’s a full-size totally solid gel eyeliner and doesn’t smudge after it sets.

The Beauty Crop Liquid Lip in Date Night ($15)

This is an intensely pigmented liquid lipstick that’s creamy and stays for multiple hours through eating, drinking, and life!

The rose gold packaging is ultra cute.

Look familiar?

It’s a pretty spot-on dupe (and long term subscription box addicts will be delighted with this full size product that’s basically not distinguishable from the Stila!).

PUR Cosmetics Lashes Pro Eyelashes in Bombshell ($14)   All subscribers received one of two different sets of PUR eyelashes.

These are made with cruelty-free silk and are ultra fluffy!

tarte Rainforest of the Sea Eyeshadow Palette  ($36) One of the best BOXYCHARM items ever! All subscribers received this item.

A full-size Tarte palette!

The colors are gorgeous! Some are shimmers, some are sort of half-shimmers, and there’s a few almost-matte shades too.

Ultimately extremely wearable – nothing glittery.

The palette comes with a guide for application too.

Swatches!

There was also coupon for $10 off your next tarte.com purchase of $60 or more – BOXYAUGUST through 9/15.

Royal & Langnickel Moda Pro Brush Set ($26) All subscribers received this item.

Three brushes were included in this set – and all of them have directions on the pack of the package.

These brushes feature the textured matte black diamond handles that allow for an excellent grip even when wet, and the soft bristles can be used wet or dry.

From top to bottom:

  1. Pointed Brush – BMX-130 – perfect for applying blush or powder with precision or use in contouring.
  2. Chisel Brush – BMX-250 – works for highlight or contouring.
  3. Crease Brush – BMX-430 – this shadow brush help defines and blend the crease or to buff over your entire lid.

My August BOXYCHARM had about $106 in products! I am happy with this box but I’m feeling a little bummed I didn’t get to try out the Aloette products – they looked really neat and while the eyeliner and liquid lipstick are 100% solid products, I love trying out new cosmetics (plus I had a full-size liquid lip last month). This subscription is the perfect box for a makeup addict who wants to try all the current on-trend goodies and wants every palette, highlighter, liquid lipstick, or whatever the latest item is!

    I’ve always wanted to get a beauty box and it’s tough when you have to pay shipping…this seems like the most promising subscription I have come across. Knowing that if I’d discovered this earlier and possibly gotten my hands on the Tarte palette, I’m heartbroken! Hopefully, I can afford to buy this soon and will be pleasantly surprised.

    I would just like to receive my box. I am a longtime subscriber and it was paid for on the 2nd and as of today my tracking information that was sent out on August 11th states I will not receive this month’s box until this Friday. Not sure why they are so late sending out this month.

    I keep seeing the Tarte Rainforest of the Sea eye shadows and it makes me want to start using eye shadow. Short of that I can just get the compact, open it up, and look at it any time I want to.
