BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review – March 2017

I am so upset. I just got my March box, and instead of getting a lip liner with a matching matte liquid lipstick, I got the liner and something called BeautyforReal blush + go. So now I have a lip liner that I can’t use because I don’t have its match, and something I won’t use, without Boxycharm advertising any variations for that certain item, which was the entire reason I purchased March’s box.

I wasn’t over the top on this box. I’m a fair skinned redhead. These colors were way too dark for me – I’m speaking mainly of the lipliner and lipstick, but also of the same dark color in the eyeshadow palette. I’ll use the primer but the rest will either go in a Halloween box or maybe I’ll give it to a cousin or donate. Wish I’d received a mascara like someone else, I always love those 🙂 Although I have a whole pile of them just waiting to be used up.

I’ve been using this box for a week now, and just had to leave a comment: all those who were afraid of the eyeshadow pallet – try it! The colours really are very wearable and the naked cosmetics eyeshadow quality is amazing! You don’t need a heavy hand, and the colours are beautiful natural and spring like. Sure, you can glam it up bold if you put more on, but they really are beautiful on your skin.

I would love to see a light weight foundation!!

I am not hating on BOXYCHARM, but they REALLY meant what they said when they labeled this box as creepy, but definitely not cute!!!! OK, that was a little strong….I love the palette, the brush seems nice and the primer is ok. But the Real Her lip liner and lipstick???? They are a rusty orange with a yellowish tint. Think a little more orange than mustard. Seriously…..I do not know ANYONE who could wear these. I love pinks, berries, wines, occasional cool Reds, almost ANYTHING but the orange/brown family. And I had no idea that there was ever a yellow tinted lip product. YUCK!!!!! I would be embarrassed to even donate this. I guess it can go to my nieces for dress up or Halloween. Wow.

I just got my box and I am living…LIVING for this lip kit. I got the same box and Liz and I couldn’t be happier. This brush is dense but super soft. I probably won’t use it for a face brush since I have my specific brushes for my face. But this is perfect for dusting off excess chrome pigment when I do my nails (I do my own gel nails). I think this is the first box that I won’t be gifting anything to my sister-in-laws. Woot Woot!

Probably going to stay with Boxy for a very long time

I’m crying right now!!! My box….which was shipped out on the 10th…. is now on its way from California. I’m in missouri. I know shipping was messed up this month, but really?? Is this happening to anyone else?

Hi! My lip liner tip was broken and I can’t figure out how to screw the lip liner up…does anyone know?

This is probably a silly question, but does anyone know if the trio palette mirror has a removable film? I started fooling around with the mirror, trying to remove a film (a pet peeve of mine!) but it looked like I was scratching the corner so I stopped.

I love the lip color Liz got! But when I went to the real her website, the color looks way different. Is it just me? I got the fearless colorway to red..

I received the same box as Liz. Overall, I’m happy with the box. I am a little disappointed that the primer is not full size…..that’s a first for me with Boxycharm, I’ve been subscribed for over a year. I love the fan brush, as I did not receive one yet, its quite nice. The eyeshadows are quite pretty, not my normal style, but very pretty. I love lip products, so I was so happy to get the set. Love Boxycharm!

I’m seriously thinking of cancelling Ipsy for this.

I’m getting this unloading of products where they had overstock (the Smashbox), products that couldn’t sell (that Crown brush), and smaller and newer brands trying to get marketing (the RealHer, Naked Cosmetics) vibe from this box.

I wouldn’t have on my own actually been willing to pay for anything in this month’s box. This is contrast to the February box where I would have been willing to purchase most, if not all, those products on my own.

I know people are saying the Smashbox might be useful, but Smashbox has released their next generation formula primer water already and this is old technology.

I wish they had done this for fall.. nothing against boxycharm (not unsubbing unless the value/quality starts going down hill, I share with my daughter) but between my oh 5 beauty boxes I got 4 copper eyeshadows! And the 5th box isn’t here yet. Everybody month since November I’ve got often a copper shadow atleast in one box. WE are copperhead out. I think I have every tone of coppe. i there was a way to beg for no more copper lol. Oh well perhaps if I can keep my daughter from testing every one of them I can swap the next batch lol. This was the first time in a yr I’ve been disappointed usually I like atleast 1 thing.

I must be the only person who got mascara instead of lip liner 🙂 I’m happy with that though !

I received the lipstick in I am Queen and when i tried it on, it got really sticky and patchy. I wasn’t able to remove it easily even with a remover. Is the consistency same for everyone else?

I got my box today and I really don’t like the eye shadows colors after trying them on. The matte lip is a great color for me but very very drying. The brush looks really good quality. I got a starlooks brand lip liner. Excited to try the primer. Really disappointed in the shadows since I went into it with an open mind and they just look horrible on me.

I wasn’t planning on keeping the eyeshadow palette, but I couldn’t stop myself from swatching it! They are a nice creamy consistency, and I blended all three colors together to make a warm brownish/coppery shade that is a little more “everyday” wearable. I am in love with Real Her cosmetics now after receiving them in subscription boxes (boxycharm and beautybox 5). I got a lip pencil in I am Unique and a liquid lipstick in I am Fearless. They are both like a berry color. This month’s fan brush is way better than the last one (it didn’t pick up much product at all) and I haven’t tried the primer before. I wish I could’ve also gotten the real her colors that Liz got (in addition to mine)!!

If I sign up for a subscription to this box today, will it begin with this box that’s featured? Also what is a swap and how does that work? Thanks for any info I’m new to subscriptions.

I’m a tiny bit annoyed they called this theme creepy cute when it’s not even near it. It’s just so weird that they would call it a very specific look then not follow through. Those eyeshadows look amazing but $40 for 3 of them?! Seems like a price grab to make the book seem of higher value. Heck, you can get a naked palette for a bit more than that and it has 12 shades.

I absolutely love my box this month. I have the eye shadow on now, its gorgeous and blends out beautifully. I am not one to subscribe to “fall” colors, i just love color!!
That brush is seriously amazing. It feels so substantial in my hand and very easy to use. I used it for contouring this morning and I wish I had more like it. The lipstick and liner I got are not colors I can pull off so those are hopefully going to be swapped for something I can wear. The primer is also welcome.

These eyeshadow colors are on trend for Spring 2017! Can’t wait to get my box.

ANOTHER FREAKING BRUSH!! Omg I’m going to literally scream and pull my hair out!

I cancelled this sub box. It was a good run, but some box i got was like a leftovers products. I switched to asian beauty boxes now.

I hope I get the same lip kit you did. Those colors are great. Although I love the palette, I agree with many others that the theme of the box and the palette colors seem much more suited to October/Fall/Halloween. I wonder what the story is on that…
