Unboxing BoxyCharm, January 2019

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 “’Boxy and Chill”. I guess after the hectic holidays, January is just for relaxing!

Now I know I’m on a no-buy this year, but I’ve decided that I’m going to continue to subscribe to BoxyCharm for now.

PRICES ARE IN USD, CONVERTED TO CAD AT THE END

Briogeo Roscaro Milk Reparative Leave-In Conditioning Spray
MSRP: $12.00 US

Most of the items I have from Briogeo came from boxes or as deluxe samples with makeup orders. That’s great because I’ve had a chance to try out different items from this brand without needing to purchase any large sizes. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried so far. This spray has a blend of rosehip, argan, and coconut oils to detangle hair and protect against heat. I already have one of these open and I really like it to use when my hair is damp before styling.

OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Havana Nights
MSRP: $20.00 US

This is a matte liquid lipstick in a berry purply-red. I did a swatch of this on my hand and it’s very pigmented. It does transfer so I’m not sure if I would wear such a bold shade on my lips because I would be afraid of it rubbing all over my face. I just can’t trust myself to not touch my face, or ruin a makeup look when eating. This is infused with vitamin A and antioxidants and smells like candy!

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Highlighting eyeshadow palette Vol.III
MSRP: $36.00 US

I own the Vol.II version of this palette which I have reviewed here. I do like the formula of Tarte shadows so I’m very tempted to keep this although I know I have very similar colours in my makeup collection. I think these shades are beautiful for those who like to keep their makeup subtle.

This has seven micro shimmers and one matte nude. This is long wear, vegan, crease-free and enriched with vitamin E and antioxidants.

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Face Mask (2 Pack)
MSRP: $24.00 US

I’m SOOOOOO excited to get these masks in my box! I really don’t think I’d pay $12.00 for one mask, especially when you get some for about $2-3 but I’m happy to have them to test out! This has rice germ oil, vitamin E, essential fatty acids and botanical oils. This is a nourishing and anti-ageing serum so I’m really happy about that!

Billion Dollar Brows Universal Brow Pencil
MSRP: $18.00 US

I’m not sure how I feel about how thick this brow pencil is because recently I’ve been liking really thin brow pencils. As I don’t have many brow items in my collection right now, I might end up using it when I finish up the other brow products I have.

This is a self-sharpening pencil that glides over the brows without pulling your skin. I think the colour itself will work for me as I have medium brown brows.

My Thoughts

This is a good box. It’s not my favourite from BoxyCharm but I do like a few of the items like the Tatcha mask, the Tarte Cosmetics Palette and definitely the Briogeo spray. I’m not as excited for the Ofra lipstick and brow pencil. Overall, pretty good value and new items that I am willing to try!

Total Value: $110.00 US ($145.82 CAD)

Did you get BoxyCharm this month? What was in your box?

Lots of Love,
