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 always include an amazingly high value with premium products!

There’s a cute information card on top of the items.

It’s here! I’ve been excited since the spoilers!

The February 2019 theme is AFTERGLOW!

The information card lists all the products in the box, together with a brief description.

Everything in my February 2019 BOXYCHARM! There are variations in the box – see them here.

Tula Probiotic Skincare Bright All Night Energizing Sheet Mask ($24) Exclusive sheet masks made for Boxycharm! Each pair of mask is in a resealable pack. I love that we can totally recycle the pouches to organize our masks or for other purposes. This can easily be the coolest party favor for slumber parties or any pampering sessions with friends, because the mask itself is a holo foil!!!

This shiny powerhouse mask is instantly brightening to the face. To use, place the sheet after cleansing the face and leave on for 10 minutes. Remove the mask after and massage the excess serum to the face for absorption. The key ingredients are the probiotics and fermented birch water that minimizes the irritation and soothes the skin. It also has hyaluronic acid and citrus extract to lock in the moisture, plus probiotic strains to help balance the skin and to maintain its firmness and elasticity.

All subscribers will receive these masks, Sol de Janeiro Coco Cabana Cream, or Farmacy Clean Bee Ultra Gentle Facial Cleanser.  Unfortunately, I have to agree with everyone that says Coco Cabana smells like popcorn. ?

Better Than Sex Mascara by Too Faced ($24)  This $24 mascara makes up the whole worth of the box already and it’s one of my faves! I did as instructed in the videos and started with the bottom lashes so there’s no wet mascara applying on my lid when I look up. On the top lashes, I wiggled the brush from the base to tips and it’s effective in volumizing the lashes. The hourglass bristles help in defining and in the effectiveness of the collagen-fueled and peptides in the formula. The peptides are what makes this mascara carbon black. It’s smudge proof and lashes don’t get clumpy. Worth the hype, and everyone got this one!

Pretty Vulgar Shimmering Swan Highlighter – Glow Up ($32) After our spirited efforts to glow from within by the use of the sheet masks, we can now use this shimmering Swan highlighter to seal the deal. I like that it’s buildable and can blend well with blush.

I love highlighters but this formula just melts with the blush and gives a subtle natural glow which is super extra. If you really prefer a bold highlight, you can definitely do so because it is infused with light-reflecting and pearlescent pigments. So dip your brush in there and play with it! It is safe to use as it is vegan, cruelty-free and made without parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.

All subscribers received either a highlighter or brozner from Pretty Vulgar.

Smashbox Always On Liquid Lipstick ($24) I’m drawn to the hot pinks and berries and this one has a violet or plum undertone to it. I love that the wand can outline and fill the lips with pigment with one swipe. Even though it has a matte finish, I don’t need to apply a balm first because this lipstick is infused with a primer oil already.

I can easily fit it into my purse, though I don’t think I need touchups as the color stay up to 8 hours without smudging, flaking, or bleeding.

For February, all subscribers will receive a Trestique, Nudestix, Grande Cosmetics, or Smashbox lippie.

Gorgeous swatches and eye-catching! The highlighter is so pigmented it can pass as an eyeshadow. I didn’t expect anything less from Smashbox lipstick. Though we still have to be careful because dark colors can appear patchy or streaky when it settles.

No Poreblem Primer by Touch in Sol ($18) It is like a gel consistency that blends into the skin into a velvety finish to blur pores. This lightweight primer is just right for the winter season because it can be moisturizing. It is infused with soluble collagen and green tea extract. Every subscriber received this item.

Boxycharm is charming their way into our hearts again with these hyped, aesthetically pleasing products. They can fit right into my vanity kit without blinking. The theme is to make us glow and this box did just that. I can’t pick any favorites as they are all effective essentials. Start the regimen by prepping your skin with a sheet face mask. Flaunt the natural beauty of your skin and apply some primer. Top the look with a bold lipstick and mascara. This can easily be your go-to, no-makeup look products all in one box. There are no fillers and I got products valued at more than $120. It’s a good deal for this month, as it is every month! This box is always worth my $21 a month!
