Boxycharm is a monthly subscription box of full-size makeup, skincare and beauty tools. The theme for this month is “all access”.
PRICES ARE IN USD, CONVERTED TO CAD AT THE END
Violet Voss Essentials Eyeshadow Palette
MSRP: $29.00 US
This palette was designed for everyday use in a stunning mix of warm and cool-toned shades. I like the range of shades and colours in this palette and I think you’d be able to create a variety of different looks.
Even though I have a lot of eye shadows I think this one is definitely unique to what I have. I like that there are everyday shades like cream and dusty rose but also fun colours like plum berry and gold. This would be a great palette for travel.
Dr. Brandr Hydro Biotic Recovery Sleeping Mask
MSRP: $52.00 US
Oh, how I love a good hydrating mask! I’m really looking forward to having this around especially during the upcoming wintertime. This mask locks in moisture overnight to reduce redness and soothe the signs of irritation.
Moda Pro By Royal & Langnickle 5 Piece Eye Kit
MSRP: $27.95 US
I am so happy that I received this set in Boxycharm. I received a crease brush from this collection in a previous BoxyCharm that I enjoyed and even reviewed on the blog. You can read my thoughts here.
These brushes are so soft and the quality is super good, especially for the price. I should check out their website to see what other items they offer. The brushes I received are perfect for creating a multitude of eye looks. I’m most excited for the smudger and crease brush since these are the type I use the most.
Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator
MSRP: $26.00 US
What a beautiful highlight. Not only does this look so nice in the pan but it swatches like a dream. I’m really excited to start playing with this. The illuminator has a hybrid texture that applies like a powder but feels like a cream. It creates a translucent wash of colour that can be swept all over the face for a lit-from-within glow.
MAC Frost Lipstick in CB 96
MSRP: $18.50 US
This formula features smooth, medium buildable coverage, high pearl and a semi-lustrous finish. (Boxycharm.com)
Well, you’re telling me! In the tube this looks like a high frost orange but when I swatched it I got more of a peachy or pinky feel. This is such a gorgeous lipstick but I just know that I’m never going to wear it so I actually passed this on to my mom who was absolutely going to enjoy it more than I will.
My Thoughts
I was starting to get a bit bored with BoxyCharm but this box really hit it out of the park for me. I got a palette with colours I’m excited to use, an over night mask I need for winter, brushes I’m going to use regularly and an illuminator that I think is beautiful to wear as highlight! The only item I didn’t care for was the lipstick which I easily passed on to someone else. I’m super happy with this box and everything in it!
Total Value: $153.45 US ($203.05)

It looks like another good one. I have a few Moda brushes, they’re quite good quality!

my mom was sooo excited to have the lipstick! She wears them more than I do so it made sense. The illuminator is so pretty and the formula is super soft. I can’t wait to wear it.

I’ve never heard of the brand Moda, but those brushes look great. I read your post on eyeshadow brushes last month and was wondering if you also have any experience with the Mac 217 brush or the Real Techniques eyeshadow brushes? I’d love to hear your thoughts if you do!

A good box! I love the palette. It’s gorgeous. I too would have given that lipstick to someone else… I hope your mum will enjoy it.

The palette might be my favourite of any I’ve received in monthly boxes. My mom is definitely enjoying the lipstick way more than I would have. She wears bolder colours than I might.
