BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review – February 2016

im really glad this wasnt geared toward vday (other than he sponge thing) because mine arrived well after valentines day. i thought this box was so so as well. i didnt like the perfume but i did like the blush/highlighter stick. is it the best ? no, but at least its different. i havent tried the mask or eye cream yet. i was just glad for no lip products.

This box made me unsubscribe from Boxycharm, well that and their customer service is terrible and unreliable. The bodywash sponge made my skin itchy, the coral blush was some cheap off brand and the color is all wrong for me. I liked the banana powder but it broke after 3 days because there was no container and nothing to protect it. The eye serum was ok but it wasn’t a full size product like I’m used to receiving from boxy and the perfume smelled horrible. This box felt like it was just some random crap thrown together with a heart sponge to tie it to valentine’s day.

I just subscribed 2/10/16 twelve days ago haven’t heard anything no box no tracking yet, I subscribed because of the sneak peek I saw thinking it would be a full size banana powder , still waiting on my box

I actually like the box. I’m not good with perfume samples in general because I’m allergic to 99% of all perfumes I encounter, but other than the perfume I like the box!

Not thrilled. I don’t wear blush, but even if I did, that coral color does NOT work on my skin at all. I’ll have to figure out someone to give it to. I wish the banana powder came in some type of container; this feels like they want us to buy something to put it in. I was happy to get the shower scrubber because it was different, but the scent is rather odd, and the perfume, like some of you, is too sweet and candy-like for me. The box is a good value, just doesn’t have the things I like. Scents are always a hit or miss thing though.

Meh ? Just received it. Not crazy about this one. I do like the perfume spray and the blush is really nice, but I didn’t care for anything else. I just wish we were able to see what the boxes look like before being charged.

This is not my favorite box. I don’t think I really LOVE anything in this box, but its okay I suppose. The Beauty for Real Blush n’ Glow stick is also my favorite item, it goes nicely with my skin tone and I’m happy with that. The sponge thing is probably my least favorite item as I already have a lot of bath sponges, body washes, and soaps and its just not an item I’m excited to try. This box seemed a little cheaper/more stingy than previous boxes but I have a feeling next months box will be great!

Liz, what concealers do you use to cover up your dark circles? I have crazy dark circles and am always on the hunt for ways to cover them up.

I was happy with my box – it introduced me to new brands & I love the highlighter/blush stick (perfect for my purse!!) and would’ve paid $20 just for that…so, everything else is a bonus & I will be using all products. Thanks for the recap, Liz!! ^_^

I too found the packaging of the banana powder disappointing. I have magnetic palettes but none that will work with this. :/ I don’t do sheet masks, the perfume is too sweet for me and I have tons of sponges from sub boxes already. The only thing I’m excited to try is the eye serum. Oh well – I still love Boxycharm. 80% of the time the boxes are perfect for me so a few misses every now and then doesn’t hurt.

Oh no, I’m a little disappointed in the banana powder. I was really excited to be receiving that in this months box. I was hoping for a full size but I don’t mind a sample so long as I have a way to properly store it. I’m getting mine tomorrow so I guess I’ll have to wait and see how good or bad I feel about the packaging. The box overall is okay to me, I don’t feel like I wasted any money this month, so that’s a good thing.

I, too, would have preferred a compact for the powder. But other than that, I think I’ll enjoy this box. I like the blush and the mask. I didn’t unwrap the sponge as I have a lot of shower/bath products so I’m waiting until I use it. The perfume is all right. I can always use a new eye cream.

I really like this sub box. I did find the banana powder a little strange because of the packaging but I am still looking forward to trying it. I liked everything else. I have loads of masks but me and my daughter like to have stay at home pamper sessions so I use these up twice as fast as I would otherwise. The perfume will be gifted to my tween daughter since it is a little sweeter of a scent than I prefer. Overall it’s another win for me.

In the minority here — I liked the box, and I liked that it was different from the usual full size makeup items. I like trying out new perfume, can always use a face mask and eye serum, and the body sponge preloaded with soap is interesting.

This box is a disappointment for me too. This is actually my last Boxycharm for now (gotta save some money). The only thing I’m excited about is the blush/highlighter. I won’t use the perfume or eye serum, I’m not a huge fan of face masks (but I’ll probably use it anyway), I’m disappointed in the size of the OFRA product, and the body wash is cool but I have sooo much bath stuff that I just can’t be excited for it. Oh well, at least the one product I like is worth more than the cost of the box!

remember that this is a 21.00 box, not a 40.00 box….hmmm?

this was the first Boxy Charm box that was a complete waste of money in my eyes. I was pretty bummed with all the sample products. Last month’s was so great so maybe I am just spoiled. The whole reason I signed up for Boxy Charm was because I was promised full sized products. They really missed the mark on this box.

This box is a bit of a disappointment for me. The only two items I like are the banana powder (which seems like a small size and should have come in a compact instead) and the eye serum.

The Spongelle contains an ingredient that my sensitive skin doesn’t like, the blush and highlighter duo aren’t right for my skin tone, the perfume seems cheap, and I already have way too many sheet masks.

Hopefully, this was just an off month for them. They tried to play it off by telling us we were getting six items, but I don’t think it really worked – I would have much preferred the usual five full-sized.

I find it strange the way the powder was packaged since there is no lid so your only option is to store in the little envelope it came in, not ideal.

Glad I didn’t resubscribe. Way too many sample sized products.

This is my first box and I’m not impressed. I expected a little more. Like you said some items are not full size and look like samples! The powder is so small, it’s a joke. It’s a refill. The serum and perfume are not full size either. And I was expecting a pack of 5 of those masks in the box.
