Festival Vibes with Boxy Charm - Unboxing April base box

* purchased by me*



Another month another Boxy. 
I'm not gonna lie, I am a bit pissed at Boxy for not getting my choice item. 
Around the middle of the month Boxy let you choose a product that you want to see in your box. Last month choice was Elemis Foam Cleanser, Elemis Hydrating juice (purchased my in adds on) and 1 of 10 Zoeva palettes. If you know me the choice was obvious and I choose Zoeva, and I purchased 3 in adds on as well. 

I was excited for this month box and couldn't wait to see which palette I got! Imagine my surprise when the box came and palette was not there but instead I got Elemis Cleanser.... After countless emails with Boxy the conclusion is that it was my fault coz I didn't choose anything, or so my choice was not recorded ... yeah me and 1000 of other people... There were threads all over Facebook groups and under Boxy's pictures that people DID NOT GOT THEIR CHOICE ITEM. but hey its our fault and not Boxy's. Can you believe this horses***!!! If there is more then 100 people telling you that they didn't get their choice, never got the confirmation email  its their fault? Even tho they have a SCREENSHOT of the item they chose you still don;'t acknowledge it. Admit that they might have been a glitch in your system and choices were not recorded but don't tell 100+ people that its their fault even tho they have proof! Guys I was never this pissed at Boxy and their crappy Customer Service that only copy and paste responses.... One girl even got blocked by them!!!! You don't run business like that... 


Overall the box I got this month was good, it would have been perfect if the palette was there, but hey its my fault that I was on Boxy site on Monday, March 16th to chose Zoeva palette and purchased adds on and my choice not being recorded, yeah my fault... Yeah I was never there and adds on were magically purchased but who know who? Never have I been in such a F***up situation and they can't acknowledge that they messes up... 

Anyways here is what was inside of my $25 April Base Box:


  • Benefit Cosmetics The Porefesional Face primer - I own this primer already and it is one of my faves. Got to have a back up. I also went ahead and purchased the Hydrating version to try and see how it compares to this one. Retail $32

  • Elemis Superfood Cica Calm Cleansing Foam - not my choice item ... I love Elemis skin care I really do but I am not a fan of foam cleanser but what to do... I might pass this along or I might try it who knows... Retail $32


  • Iconic London Illuminating Drops- the OG products and I am happy to have it even tho I am not a fan of liquid highlighter., but these drops look so good and people seems to love them . Retail $41


  • Lavish - 5pcs Brush set - This neon set gives me festival vibes! I like the colors but the brushes hmmmm not sure how I feel. I just don't think that $29 retail price is right... Seriously you can get MODA or Real Technique brushes for cheaper. But lets give it a shot :) 


  • The Original Makeup Eraser - I always wanted makeup eraser. I almost did purchased one during 21 days of beauty at Ulta. Can't wait to try it :) Retail $22
Total value of my box is $157 and its variation 18

What did you like from this box? 

Boxy Charm - Boxy After Dark - October 2019 *unboxing*

*purchased by me*


New Boxy is here! But before we even jump inside,did you see the spoilers for upcoming boxes? December Boxy Luxe looks fab already!Also Boxy launched Premium box for$35 a month and guess what?!? I think I will be getting it!Yay! There is so much I want to tell you but my keyboard is giving me a hard time... the space button seems to be stuck :(


Oh well.... anyways welcome to Boxy After Dark, October edition. I don't want to repeat myself much but Boxy seriously need to check peoples preferences when it comes to makeup. This month I am half happy.2 products I will use, 2 I don't and 1 I am on the fence... 


Lets start with two my faves in this month box:



* Dose of Colors- Sassy Siennas palette - I think almost every box go Dose of Colors palette. There were variation and I ended up with Sassy Siennas. I love it.

  All matte shades and the quality is beautiful! I hunt the palettes down in sell/trade groups and bought Baked Browns and Marvelous Mauves. Berries are next on my list. These beauties retail for $35

* Iconic London Prep Set and Glow spray - first off the sparkles are beautiful!It leaves gorgeous sheen on the skin. I use this more as a body shimmer spray. Another thing I love about it is the scent! so lovely but so heavy and I would never spray it on my face LOL. but body is ok! Retails at $29



* Hank and Henry Slick with it Mascara Duo-this have to be my third mascara... and this is the product I am torn about . Like I want to try it and on the other hand not. So far I was only disappointed with mascaras. But I heard the brand is really good so I might give it a go. Retails at $19

* Mellow Cosmetics Brow Gel in shade Dark Brown - something that i am not interested at all. Even my profile says no brow or liners pls! I could have try it if only they sent my shade... Dark Brown is so not me... Pass....Retails value $16

* Hollywood and Vine BlackKohl liner- another product  I am not into it. I don;t use eye liners at all.. so pass ...Retail at $7

Last two products I didn't bother to open. Figured I can gifted to someone or add to giveaway pile.

Total value of the box $103
I think this is the cheapest box I got so far. Usually value for my boxes is over $120.
Anyways I think next month you all will see two Boxy unboxing :) So stay tuned for that :)
