Mother Nature- Boxy Charm Base Box Unboxing

*purchased by me*

Boxy Charm surprisingly arrived early this month. 

I already unboxed Premium for May, and now its time for base. 

I tell you right away I was not blown away by it, more so disappointed. Boxy advertised Jouer lip glosses and I was hoping for it... I see that if I want something in my box I never get so from now I will not say out loud that i want something and maybe it will be in my box LOL maybe... hahah 

I was scrolling though IG stories and one of my IG friends said that the box she got was basically made with Dollar Tree products... I got same box with one item different and all I can say I hear you... 

Influencers and other people on Boxy;s PR get better boxes. Most of the time they boxes are so much better then ours (paying customers) . As you can see and well read I was not happy myself with the past few boxes. But I saw spoilers for LUXE and Premium for next month and they do look impressive :) 

Now lets unbox my base box for month of May 2020

• Glam Glow Berry Glow Probiotic Recovery Mask - this was my choice item and I am happy with the mask. i tried it once already and i am happy my skin likes it. I saw many posts all over Facebook that some girls get reaction to it! It burns their skin!!! Luckily my skin seems to work good with this mask. And btw it smells amazing :) This is my second Glam Glow product that I got in Boxy :) Retail $49

• Laura Geller Gelato Swirl Illuminator  in the shade Peach Glow- I was not mad about it :) I like her highlighters and already own two so it was nice to add shade I didn't have. It pretty and peachy :) Now I want Charming Pink and I can be done :) Retail $26

• Studio Makeup Easy to Wear Eye Shadow palette - tbh I am unsure how I feel about it. I only swatched it and by swatching the metallic shades look really nice, but how will it wear, still to be discover LOL. I will probably send this to my mom as it does reminds me of Sultry and Naked Reloaded which I already own. Retail $35

• Trestique Concealer - mehhhh... I mentioned in my beauty quiz I don't want complexion products.. I just don't feel they have a good shade matches... and as for the concealer go its a pass for me. I don't use concealer much and if I do I like my Colourpop one. Retail $24

• Daily Concepts Shampoo Bar- ok I was excited about this. I been seeing shampoo bars all over IG and blogs and I wanted to try one for myself. And ... yeah its not for my hair. I do get what they trying to do with getting rid of plastic bottles but its a bar and for someone with long ass hair its not it. It took forever for me to foam and just to rub in my hair... I think someone with short hair or any guy will appreciate it. I will pass to my hubby and see if he likes it ;) I get the product but its just personal preference and I say no to it. Retail $24

Total value of my box was $158.

Boxy Charm Premium May 2020 - Unboxing

*purchased by me*

May's theme for all Boxy boxes is Mother Nature. 

And we have a mini product in all full sized ( or what ever BC claims) box. 

I pay for Boxy Charm Premium $35 + tax every month. Overall value guaranteed is over $175 and 6-7 FULL SIZED PRODUCTS! yes full size you read that right. So my question is why on Earth BC put a mini product inside is beyond me... and I don't think that's the first time they did it... oh well ... Carry on... whats done its done.... At least they re-shipped my adds on that were lost in mail. So I gotta give them that. 

Anyways lets take a closer look at products included in my Premium for May. 

I must say it arrived so fast! Last month I got both my boxes super late and this? It;s not even 10th and Premium is here already and Base Box should be here on 11th. 

• Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara - I had this mascara in the past and I remember really liking it. Kevyn Aucoin is fabulous brand and seriously some of their makeup products are amazing! I got few via Octoly and then purchased most on Sample Sales. This mascara have a weightless formula that's build-able and leaves lashes at their fullest. It is formulated with Japanese Camelia oil to fortify lashes and make them more elastic and resilient. I will check if I have an old tube of this mascara still with me, coz I don't want to open this yet.Also I think we might see more KA products in the future! I think that would be amazing! Retail $29

• Too Faced Cosmetics Chocolate Soleil Gold Bronzer - that was my choice item... but there was a mistake on BC website and well card as well. They listed this as a matte bronzer and I was hoping to get the matte one. I don't think this gold is my shade.... I realized too late that I got an email from BC saying that I could change my choice.. by the time I read it, it was over. Oh well, lets see if I can make this work. I would have to go in light handed. Retail $30

• Milk Makeup Glow Oil Lip + Cheek - this is the mini I was talking in the beginning. No idea why we got mini... once again ... when it should be a full sized products only... I dunno what are they trying ... but anyways this is a sheer, shimmering lip and cheek tint for  lit from within glow on the go. I like Milk Makeup so I guess I will give it a shot :) Retail $15

• Battington Beauty Powder and Contour Brush Set -  ok girls this retails for $90! two brushes for $90... I don't want to shame the company but come on... you are not Sonia G or Wayne Goss for which I would not mind to spend that much coz I know the quality would be amazing. I read so many comments on their overpriced lashes and the quality is not that good. So why charge so much for two brushes? maybe $30-$40 but not $90... i do think the brushes look good but not $90 good. 

• Tarte Sugar Rush Best But Lip Butter - this is so tiny and so unnecessary... I really don't need another lip balm. I love my Bite Beauty, Fresh and Laneige. I will keep this  for someones birthday or something. Or maybe my daughter will like it :) Retail $12

• Pureheals Centella 90 Ampule Serum -  ok so I am excited for this :) But it will take some time to open it as at this point I have so many serums out and opened. This is K- Beauty adn its a soothing serum containing 90% of centella asiatica extract. It supposed to relieves irritations of sensitive skin and strengthens the skin barrier. Retail $28

What do you guys think? The overall value of this box was $204, but I will say its $154 coz the brushes are not worth that $90... My variation was 44.

Oh and by the way I found my old tube of the KA Mascara :) Pic below :)

Boxy Charm Premium Unboxing - April 2020

*purchased by me*

Boxy Premium, $35 a month and same theme as base box - Festival Vibes. 

Tbh there is nothing festival about any of the boxes I got. Well maybe except the neon brushes that were in the base box.

By the way my variation is 50 and my choice of the month was Peach and Lily Toner :)

• Farmacy Beauty Honey potion Renewing Antioxidant hydration mask - I am happy about this product. Not gonna lie a palette would be nice but hey its Farmacy and Farmacy products are on top of the line or so the ones I tried so far :) Retail $38

• Peach and Lily - The Good Acids Pore Toner - this was my choice of the month. I know another pore toner..but on the other hand I really want to try and see whats this brand is about. Comes in a nice thick glass bottle and I personally like the look of it. Retails $39

• Lavido Age Away Replenishing Cream - ok new brand that I never heard of. But I don't understand why I got it as it is for mature skin a and in my 30s and for me mature is skin over 40+, so I don;t get it. They send same cream to 20 year olds as well.... just a proof that beauty quiz we take means nothing . Carry on.... Retail $69

• IGK Hair Good Behavior Smoothing Spray - IGK is brand that I do not know how I feel about it. I had the dry shampoo and I didn't like, I have a leaving in cream that is ok.. I will give it a try and see how will this preform . Retails $32

• NudeStix Magnetic Lip Plush Paints- I had NudeStix products in the past and I remember liking them. Now we got a liquid lipstick or a lip cream in nudy rosey shade. I will give it a shot to see how it it. Swatch wise the color is pretty, lets see how it will look and wear on my lips. Retail $28

• Wander Beauty Mile High Club Mascara- this is my 3rd tube :) I like this mascara. Overall Wander Beauty is an great brand and I been loving most of their products :) Retail $26

The value of my box $232. So not bad for paying only $35.

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? 

Two palettes in one Box?!? - Boxy Charm LUXE unboxing *March 2020*

*purchased by me*

March is the LUXE month, which means bigger box, bigger value. 

Boxy Luxe comes every three months, so next one will be in June :)

Anywho lets jump in and let me show you what I got in my box :)

As you can tell by the tittle there were two eyeshadow palettes in this month box. How exciting! I am a freaking eyeshadow hoarder LOL. 

The first palette was the choice item. Each month Boxy let you choose an item that you would like in your box. The choices were between mini hair tool, Murad cream, Tarte Eye Shadow palette and something else ... Don't remember what was the other option. 

I choose the Tarte "Tarteist Pro Remix Amazonian Clay" Palette - 20 beautiful and vibrant shades. The packaging is so freaking cool! Paint splatter all over that have this cover that shifts. Colors inside are absolutely stunning as you can see. I mean it might not be every ones cup of tea but I adore it. I heard so many positive reviews so I need it to have it :) Thanks BOXY :) 

Retail value $49

Second palette I got and everyone else who are subscribed to LUXE got the Hello Charmer palette by Boxy Charm - beautiful palette that contains 12 matte and shimmer shades that are inspired by all things Boxy Charm.

 Already by looking at I can see many great looks I can do. I am super excited and can't wait to get back to you with a full review of this baby. Stay tuned!

Retail $39

Lets move on to the other good products in the box:

Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment - this is the first time we are seeing NARS products and I hope not the last. I got my in the shade Wild Night, which is nice dark, vampy dark purple / eggplant color. Oh hello I sucks at describing colors LOL. but seriously this is the second NARS lipstick from this line that I own and I really like it. You guys now that I like to buy makeup that was included in boxy but not in my box on various Facebook group and I picked up two more shades of this lippie. Cant wait for them to get here so I can work on swatches and full on review :) 

Retail $25

PMD Beauty Smart Facial Cleaning Device - silicon device that cleans your face with 7,000 vibrations per minute. It has 4 speeds. I dunno I love my Michael Todd cleaning devices. I never got the hype over silicon devices tbh. I will try it and see how it work and if it is worth the $99 that claim to be the retail....

Bombshell Baker Glitzy Gold Steel Straws Set - that was another choice. It was either this or Appeal lip/eyeliner... I went with straws. I can find better use of of them then the lip/eye liner. Also is throwing in stuff like straws, cups and earrings in the boxes ... like huh? Why? If I want these kind of stuff I would subscribed to Fab Fit Fun box.. BOXY stick to skin care/ hair care and makeup ok?

Retail $21

Becca Skin Love Glow Glaze Stick - ughhhh another cream highlighter that I don't use and don't need. Love Becca but pass. 

Retail $28

Deborah Lippman Nail polish set - oh hi this is the first time I am getting nail polish in my box. I really like formula of DL nail polishes. I already own few.  Now her full size polishes are 15ml. this set contains two that are 8ml each ... deluxe size.... which is kinda odd as BOXY is a FULL SIZE BOX? since when do they send sample sizes? I mean two sample size can' t make full size. the value of this set is $19. and DL polishes usually go for $18-$20.. not sure what BOXY is trying to do ... Plus I feel these should have been send in the previous box for February ... 

Another deluxe sample that was thrown in the box was Sol De Janerio - oh how disappointing! two tiny creams that a half full. they put retail value for $15 .. that makes $7.50 each... Full size cream is $40 , travel size that is bigger then these minis is $20 ... so I don;t get it ... When did BOXY become IPSY? Anyone? Why paying $50 for a box where you get two deluxe size products. BOXY is all about Full Size ... 

SO here it is my whole LUXE box that I paid $50 for it. Now was it worth it? Yes and No. We have seen better LUXE boxes in the past. Way better .... This is my 4th LUXE and I am not happy with it. I know BOXy wants to add different products like straws, earrings, candles, slippers, socks and god know what else. .. Yes I did get a survey asking if I want to see those items ... I said NO to all except candles :) Candles are fine but rest pointless....   Just fyi Base Box this month was amazing! And next month Base box will have ZOEVA palettes! Im so excited for it .
