August Boxy Charm

by Jeyroxs86Leave a Comment on August Boxy Charm

This months theme was totally boxy charm its odd theme, I figured for the month of August they would about going back to school. There are a lot of people going back to school in August, unless you are like me well finished with school. I have been out of school for three years now, I graduated back in 2016 with my Masters Degree in Cyber Security. Anyway I was a little disappointed in what I received in this months box. I was hoping to get the Glass skin refining serum and the ace beauty cotton candy and ice latte.  I did receive my second order from Colourpop, so ill have that post up soon.

Becca Hydra Mist Set and Refresh Powder- I haven’t tried this yet Im still finishing up my Maybelline Fit Me Powder. I like a lot of the Becca products especially their highlighters so I think this will be nice setting powder.

Tarte Big Ego Mascara- I haven’t tried this mascara out yet either, I do like tarte cosmetics because they are made out of mostly plant based ingredients. I really liked their lights camera action mascara.

Wander Beauty Glow Ahead Illuminating Oil- I have used this a couple of times already, I felt that it gave my skin a nice healthy glow without being over the top. I used this under my foundation, and I felt like my foundation applied more smoothly after putting this on.

Ace Beaute Glimmer Eyeshadow Duo in Huckleberry and French- These shadows reminded me of the Colour pop super shock shadows, and the MAC Electric Cool eyeshadows. I believe the MAC shadows are discontinued, I have not seen them in while. I still have a couple they are almost gone. I really liked these types of shadows I find that they last on my lids longer and they are easy to blend and apply. I apply these with my fingers or a flat shader brush. These glimmer shadows really pigmented, I think the huckleberry shade is great shade for the fall.

Hollywood and Vine- long eyeliner pencil in black. I actually wore this yesterday its very pigmented, easy to apply, and didn’t irate my eyes at all. I did find that it did smudge after a while. It was sort of hot outside it was around 80 degrees, and I ran around the mall to. I think would be a great eye pencil to make a smokey eye look

              These are the things I got in my boxy charm box for August what did you receive in your box?

June 19 Boxy Luxe

by Jeyroxs86Leave a Comment on June 19 Boxy Luxe

This is my third boxy luxe from boxy charm. I subscribed to them back in October. I had seen influencers on Instagram talking about, I saw that you could full size products in a subscription, getting full size products alone was intriguing.  Each box has a unique theme to it, this month’s theme is Getaway, I find that it’s a fitting theme since so many people are going on vacation. I don’t have any vacation plans for this summer, to much going on at work, I have a four-month-old, and some other things going on in my personal life. I do plan on going to Universal Studios in Orlando later this year probably in the fall. If you follow their Facebook page, they give hints as to what you may get in your boxy charm box. In my June boxy luxe here are the items I received

PYT Mini Turbo On the Go Dryer

              When I opened the box, this was the item at the top, it came with a portable hair dryer and two attachments, one of the attachments is a diffusor. I hardly ever use hair dryers anymore; I try not to use a lot of heat on my hair to begin with.  I don’t know if Ill use this hair dryer I may end up giving it away.

Dr Brandt Clean Biotic

              This is PH balanced yogurt cleanser, I saw that I was getting this last month. Boxy Charm had released a hint saying that all boxy luxe subscribers were going to be getting this. Its supposed to be a multi tasking cleanser that melts away dirt and makeup, without stripping your skin. The ingredients were not on the bottle I had to look them up on Sephoras website. It has lactic acid in which does help keep your skin keep its natural moisture. Update- I have tried this cleanser a few times now, it’s a creamy cleanser it left my skin feeling soft and hydrated after cleansing. It’s now becoming my morning cleanser.

Skin and Co Truffle Therapy Radiant Dew Mist

– When I took this out of the box I immediately tried it on my face, it has a minty smell to it. I found the spray to be very refreshing. and relaxing. I never tried anything from this brand. I like the spray so far, I am curious to see what facial products they have.



FARMACY-Honey moon glow

This is a AHA resurfacing night serum. I have not tried yet, but I have tried several other skincare products from this brand I have been very happy with the products I have tired.  I have tried the honey potion mask, honey salve, and their lip balm. My favorite thing about their products is it contains honey, which is very hydrating. I have very dry skin I find that their products help keep my skin hydrated.

Trestique Good vibes Mascara

I was very confused about what this actually was when I took it out of the box because it was so bulky.It contains an eyelash curler which is an interesting concept, I find it’s not really useful. I attempted to curl my lashes with it but I doubt only do it in sections because of the width of the curler, so that was annoying.  I prefer using my eyelash curler from Lancôme


Living Proof Full Dry volume. Blast

 I have a travel version of this already, I really like. it-It gives my heir more volume and lots of texture to my hair. So I was happy to get a full size version of this in the box.

Touch in SOL-No Pone Blem Primer Essence

I have not really tried to-many of their products, so I don’t have much of an opinion on them. I have another primer from them in my collection which I got from another body charm box. I am currently using the tony moley egg pore primer.

Tarte- Tartiest Pro Glow Palette V3

              I seen a preview in May of this palette all boxy luxe subscribers were going to get for the June luxe box, I really liked these types of palettes because they are palettes that I can use everyday vs the eyeshadow palettes. During the work week I don’t wear a ton of eyeshadow, I work with mostly men so nobody really cares to much what I look like. The name of shades in this palette are interesting, it contains names such dance floor, a lister, backstage, and more. I have a photo with some of the swatches on my hand.


Dominque Cosmetics- Lemonade Lipgloss in Peach Tea

              It’s a pretty pink lipgloss, its pretty pigmented, and its non-sticky. There is a sweet scent to it, reminds me of vanilla cupcakes.
