I received a sunshiny card.

The back of the card listed the items and MSRP’s.

Some of my items were wrapped in bubble wrap and a foam insert cushioned my products.

Most of the items also came in their original boxes.

Everything in my July 2020 BOXYCHARM! Keep in mind that BOXYCHARM sends many box combos so your box items and value may be different than mine. There are variations in the box – see them here.

Grace & Stella Anti-Wrinkle + Energizing Eye Masks ($18 MSRP, now$14.99) A box full of under eye masks? I am already loving it!

Ingredients include glycerin, hyaluronic acid, Irish moss, and castor oil. The product is vegan and cruelty-free.

There were 12 sets in here. TWELVE! That’s awesome!

These are the gold kind and they were a little thick. I applied them under my eyes one morning and tried wearing them while making tea. I went back to check and they had slipped, I think the thickness and weight kind of dragged them down. I would suggest sitting in a reclined position for the most benefit. It left the area feeling cool afterwards and wasn’t greasy or sticky. There wasn’t anything left over to pat in and there also wasn’t much scent at all, which is a plus.

111SKIN NAC Y2 Pollution Defence Booster ($134.99) The purpose of this skin booster is to protect against blue light – the stuff that is emitted by our computer screens and cell phones.

The ingredients include rosemary and horse chestnut extracts, moringa, and grapeseed.

The gel is a little thick so you have to squeeze it out of the dropper. Mix with moisturizer or apply after cleansing. It feels a little tacky until it is fully dry. For what it’s worth, you can get blue light protection from SPF but sometimes it’s nice to have a little antioxidant boost.

Hola Neon Velvet Liquid Lipstick in The Easy Sell ($17) According to the Hola website, this is their best selling shade and is universally flattering.

They describe the shade as “a perfect everyday pink with mauve undertones” but it also worked well with my warm color looks. It was non-sticky and dried quickly to a matte finish so apply with a lip brush to get it all over the lips. I really liked this lippie! Swatched below.

Hourglass Arch™ Brow Micro-Sculpting Pencil in Natural Black ($28) I received this in a shade that is too dark for my brows but I can pass it along to my daughter, who has darker hair than I do. I like the Hourglass brand though.

One side of the pencil has a spoolie brush which helps get those brow hairs where they need to go.

The other side has a very thin pencil so you can really get into those brows and then go over it with the spoolie brush afterward. Nice product, wrong color. Swatched below.

Swatched on top is the lip color, and then the eyebrow pencil. The tip broke off but I had no problem applying it to my actual brows, just use small, precise strokes.

Ace Beauté Blushed in Paradise Palette ($30) My daughter has mentioned twice how much she likes this palette but I’m not sure I want to pass it along, I like it too!

Ingredients were listed on the back.

Look at those shades: we’ve got shades that vary in color and that will work for warm or cool makeup looks.

The first two, maybe three shades work best with my skin tone and I was happy with the color payoff and with how it lasted all day. Be careful when swiping with your blush brush, it goes on really heavy if you aren’t careful. You can always add more to build it up.

Here is the swatch. The last shade is very vibrant, but the rest of them look good on my face.

I was pretty impressed with the July BoxyCharm I received. I was told this is an intro box to start my subscription, which is why I am reviewing it in November. I can’t believe there was a whole box of eye masks, I love to kick back and relax with those beauties. The skin treatment was nice, what a pricey product. I think the lipstick and blush palette were perfect for me, but the eyebrow product was too dark for my hair color. The value for my box combo was around $224.98!
