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.

There is NO waitlist for BOXYCHARM right now – if you like this box, go for it, because the no-waitlist situation may not happen again anytime soon!

The items are neatly and carefully packaged.

The March theme was BAE CATION!

The items are listed on the back of the card, together with a brief description.

Everything in my Spring 2018 BOXYCHARM! There were multiple variations this month, see more here!

Pretty Vulgar Make Them Blush in Hush Blush ($26) A silky and smooth powder blush that gives your cheeks a gorgeous flushed look. Out of the variations, I got Hush Blush which is a rose shade.

It’s a long-wearing, well-pigmented powder that can be worn alone or paired together to create a multidimensional look.

It doesn’t contain parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. It’s also cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly.

Here’s the swatch of the gorgeous blush! It’s not too heavy, but just right. It’s just about a perfect blush. Thanks BOXY!

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Smokey Eye Makeup Brush Set ($20) This set of eye makeup brushes is composed of a shadow brush, an angled shadow brush, and a smudger brush. The brushes come in a pretty giftable box.

The back of the box has step by step instructions on how to use the brushes.

They come with sturdy handles and ferrule, with natural bristles.

Even the handles have steps on them so you won’t have a hard time knowing which one goes first.

Step 1: The shadow brush sweeps a light, shimmery color over the lids.

Step 2: The angled shadow brush works into the creases of your eyelids and outer corners.

Step 3: The smudger brush can be used to blend two colors together.

OMG how perfect is it that the brushes tell you exactly what to do?!

This trio of brushes make it effortless to blend shades, making a more gorgeous and dramatic look.

South Mane Beauty Under Eye Gel ($9) These are cooling and revitalizing undereye gels. They promise to reduce puffiness and dark circles, while moisturizing the area below the eyes.

You just have to place one gel under each eye following the contour of your cheekbone, and then let it sit for 15-20 minutes.

I got 3 pairs of under eye gels. Ingredients include glycerin, hydrolized elastin, and ascorbic acid.

Butter London Double Decker Lashes Mascara ($20) This mascara is formulated to make lashes look thicker without the heavy feeling. It has a special emulsifying system that gives it a lightweight texture.

It also has an extreme curl technology that instantly curls and holds lashes in place.

For best results, just position the wand horizontally at the base of lashes and apply in a zig-zag motion from root to the tip.

It gives you the appearance of fuller lashes due to the interlocking nylon fiber brush that grasps each individual lash at the roots for immediate definition and curl.

Also included is a 25% off coupon code you can use for your next $50 purchase on Butter London’s online shop.

FYI, this was one of FIVE full-size mascara variations for the month:

PUR The Complexion Authority Eyeshadow Palette ($36) A 12-color eyeshadow palette and a beautiful collaboration between PUR and BOXYCHARM!

The eyeshadows are cruelty-free, gluten-free, and talc-free. They are also vegan-friendly.

The colors are versatile, well-pigmented, and lightweight. They range from warm matte shades to vibrant ones like blue and or shimmery pink. You can mix and match the colors to create a fun look that will make your eyes pop.

When you look closely, each shade has a label at the bottom left of each pan.

Here are the color swatches! They are highly pigmented and doing my eyes up, especially with the last smoky shade, I felt super Katy Perry!

Aside from the blush, most products in this month’s box are focused on the eyes. Everything is useful for creating a glam look, and I love the colors! The box’s retail value is about $111, and I got everything for just $21. My favorites are the eyeshadow palette and the brushes, they make such a usable pair. I also love the under eye gels! Of course, having healthy and well-pampered skin is also a key to look great, and I’m happy to get a product that focuses on that. BOXYCHARM is BAE in makeup subscription boxes!
