Price: $21.00 USD (+$5.00 shipping to Canada)
Number of items: 4-5 full-size items
Boxycharm is a monthly subscription box of full-size makeup, skincare and beauty tools. The theme for this month is “Rock 2018″. I think it’s a fun and new year feeling theme. I also love that some items received in this month’s box really go with the theme.
Prices are in American Dollars, converted to Canadian at the end
Dr. Brandt Pores No More Luminzer Primer
Retail Price: $38.00 USD
I think this is my favourite product from this box! I was about to purchase the GlamGlow Glowstarter illuminizing primers from Sephora, but when I saw this I decided not to because this is an illuminating primer. It’s like BoxyCharm read my mind!
This delivers a naturally radiant glow while blurring pores and imperfections. Yes, please! I wonder if BoxyCharm has some deal with Dr. Brandt because I see their items quite often in the boxes. I’m not complaining because they are amazing products that are pricey, I’m just curious.
It Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil
Retail Price: $24.00 USD
I received a sample size of this eyebrow pencil a long time ago in an Ipsy bag (I totally miss that subscription) and I remember liking it. Based on the amount of pressure you apply to your brows, the pencil either can be intense or soft.
I like this shade of taupe and look forward to using this again.
Crown Pro Glam Metals Palette
Retail price: $25.00 USD
I was surprised that Crown created makeup because I thought they were mostly a brushes company. This packaging is adorable! I love the flying guitar mirror on the inside.
The colours are pigmented and smooth. Except for Black Metal, these are all shimmers so I will need to use other palettes to build my base but these all make great lid shades. Since getting the Kat Von D shade and light palette I’ve been enjoying colourful eyeshadows.
Pur Bronze and Brighten Cheek Palette
Retail Price: $34.00 USD
Last month I received a shimmery cheek palette, highlight and bronzer through my BoxyCharm that I have no need for this one right away. I do like the highlight and blush colour included but I’m not going to use this seeing as I already have new items from last month that I’ve already started using. I may end up passing this along to a friend.
Girlactik Matte Lip Paint in Demure
Retail Price; $23.00 USD
I have a few of these dark nude lipsticks and honestly, I’m starting to get sick of them in my boxes. I just wish I could get something else! A red, pink, glitter or clear colour would be so refreshing! I usually love these colours but I have too many!!!
I’m not sure if I’ll use this lipstick because this formula is supposedly amazing. I’ve heard it’s longlasting, lightweight and doesn’t transfer.
My Thoughts
Except for the repeat colour on the matte lip paint, I’m super happy with what I received in BoxyCharm. I might give away the Pur cheek set but I still think it’s a great item. I most happy about the pores no more primer! Total Value: $144 USD ($179.95)
Did you get BoxyCharm this month? What was your favourite item?
Lots of Love,
Dal

At first glance I thought that Crown palette was by TheBalm. I didn’t know that Crown did makeup either – maybe they’re expanding their product range.
I think this box is really good! My top pick would be the same as your – the Dr. Brandt primer.

It kind of does look like the balm palette. The swatches are pretty good and a lot of people have been saying that they like this so I’m excited to try it. Crown must be trying to expand the range.
I’m definitely excited about the dr. Brandt primer it’s exactly what I wanted.
