Unboxing Boxycharm September 2014, Fashion week fabulous!

Standard

Hi everyone! 

I got my September Boxycharm today. I’m glad about the colors this month. (Last month got some really odd colors for my color profile.) Overall I like this box, though I’m getting kind of sick of getting Hello by Harvey Prince. It has been in literally every subscription box I’ve gotten. I’m so glad about the Tarina Tarantino collab with boxycharm, I’m really pumped about this mascara! New subscribers to boxycharm get the hyperlight we got in an old box, so this is exciting. Ths is a pretty good fall themed box with dark NCLA nail polish, perfume, lip gloss (ick), mascara, and fall colored eyeshadow.

This box also included 2 coupon codes:

  1. 10% off mynamenecklace.com – BOXYCHARM
  2. 20% off tarte.com – FALLBOXY (10/10 – 10/24)

All of the items laid out

This is the intro card to the box:

Items listed on card included

The items!

Tarte lipsurgence lip gloss in tipsy:

This was the color I wanted so I’m glad I got it. Still not the biggest fan of lip gloss though.

Coastal Scents London Go Palette:

I really wanted the Moscow one, but this was my second favorite. I’m glad there is a red shade in this! Coastal Scents is an ok brand, but I’ve never had a problem with them. Their eyeshadows aren’t always so pigmented, but I love the Revealed palette I have from them that is a dupe of Naked 1 and Naked 2 from Urban Decay.

NCLA Nail Lacquer

I love funky nail polish colors, and this dark color is perfect for fall! I’m so sick of the red/pink nail polish.

Tarina Tarantino Mascara (Fleur de lash)

I need a new mascara, and this came at the perfect time. I like the look of the brush on this, but it looks a little clumpy. I’ll see how it goes after using it for a bit.

Harvey Prince Hello

I actually already bought the full-sized version of this with Birchbox points. I wear it sometimes. I really like the scent, but this has been in literally every subscription box I’ve seen. I wish they’d move onto a new scent. ಠ_ಠ

Boxycharm September “Fashion Week Fabulous” Spoiler #1

Standard

Boxycharm just posted their first spoiler for the September box!

The theme is going to be “Fashion Week Fabulous” and the first item is a tarte Lipsurgence lip gloss (yay tarte, ick lipgloss!) in “Blushing Bride”, “Exposed”, “Tipsy”, or “Park Ave Princess.” The lip gloss is listed as $19 on tartecosmetics.com (no affiliate) and you can browse through the colors to find the 4 possible shades you can get.

I’m not really sure how lip gloss = fashion week, but that’s just me.

Boxycharm August 2014 Spoiler 2!

Standard

Sneak Peek #1: Charmers will receive either the Ofra ‘Americano’ Bronzer ($35 Value) or the EnterPronoun ‘Blowtorch’ Bronzer ($35 Value). Sneak Peek #2: Charmers will receive one Tarina Tarantino Conditioning Lip Sheen ($22 Value).

The second sneak peak for Boxycharm was released! Also I don’t know what’s up with Boxycharm’s images, but they look kind of washed out. The second item is a Tarina Tarantino Conditioning Lip Sheen.

Temptalia reviewed the conditioning lip sheen (2 years ago), and this is Christine’s take on it:

This lipstick formula is supposed to be lightweight, hydrating, and have “medium pigmentation.” The color coverage is mostly opaque with a light translucency that allows for some of the natural lip color to come through. It has a light, balm-like consistency that slides on like butter, but it manages to stay on lips for a full five and a half hours. The formula is moderately hydrating (and more so than the last shade I tried in this range), so lips don’t feel parched post-application and you won’t feel compelled to run for your lip balm right away. It’s also scent- and taste-free. It comes in a gunmetal tube that clicks into place well and doesn’t show fingerprints for the most part.

Boxycharm August Spoiler #1

Standard

The first spoiler for Boxycharm is out!

One product for the July 2014 box is a bronzer:

  1. EnterPronoun “Blowtorch 01” Bronzer, (link to EP website, $35) or
  2. Ofra “Americano” Bronzer (link to ofra website, $35)

“If you guessed a bronzer, you were right! Charmers will receive either an #EnterPronoun “Blowtorch 01” Bronzer or an #Ofra “Americano” Bronzer! Both are $35, universal, and absolutely perfect for the summer! Xoxo, Your #BOXYCHARM Team”

The Ofra bronzer looks pretty cool-toned (on left) whereas the EnterPronoun bronzer looks pretty warm-toned.

Unboxing: Boxycharm May 2014!

Standard

Hi everyone!

This is my first month of Boxycharm. When it first came out, it seemed like a lot of drug store products, but I think now that they picked up more subscribers they have been offering more mid-high end products.

The official posting of the box for May. Source: Boxycharm.com

What I got was a little different from the official posting.

Honestly, everything in this box except for the hair things is a total win for me. I love the nail polish remover pads (needed more), the kabuki is a good backup but not as good as the one I have from Coastal Scents, loving the IllumeThai Lily hand creme and the Mirabella lipstick!

Boxycharm definitely sold me on this box.

When you first get the box, it’s a really nice one too.

Opening up to see…

Mother’s day spelled wrong! (also I’m not a Mother, lol)

 

I like that they include actual cost analysis for the items, but I’m still going to double check.

The nail polish pads smell good, and I love the case! Normally I get foil packets.

This is a really nice pink, exactly what I would wear.

A coarser version of my coastal scents pink kabuki.

 

OMG, so obsessed with this! Seriously so obsessed. It doesn’t feel sticky at all and smells great. I’m notoriously picky with hand lotions, and HATE feeling sticky or lotion on my hands.

 

I haven’t tried these yet, but they look cool!
