Now, time for the items!
Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara – Value $23
(All subscribers will receive this item.)
My all-time favorite mascara is tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes, so I was excited to try this formula! In general, I'm very impressed. I'd say it's on par with Lights, Camera, Lashes, in terms of length and volume. Personally, I prefer a soft bristle mascara brush over a hard plastic one, so that's the only reason I still prefer the Lights, Camera, Lashes.
Beaute Basics Bronze Essentials - Value $39.95
(This is a variant item. Subscribers may receive a different item instead.)
This bronzer features two matte shades (outer and center) and a super shimmery option as well:
This shimmer shade has some fall out, but in general, these are all well-pigmented. (Swatched in lower photo.)
Real Her Blush Kit – Value $32
(All subscribers will receive this item.)
This blush kit features pink, peach, and bronze shades:
Each color is pretty shimmery, so a little goes a long way with these. They were easy to blend, too. (Swatched in lower photo.)
Pretty Vulgar My Lips Are Sealed Liquid Lipstick in 108 Particularly Sophisticated Value – $24
(All subscribers will receive this liquid lipstick or Makeup Geek Showstopper Creme Stain)
This formula has a metallic glossy finish - it is gorgeous! It's not a long lasting like a matte liquid lipstick, so you'll have to retouch throughout the day, but I think it's worth it!
Here it is swatched beneath the bronzer and the blush palette:
(Bronzer, Blush Kit, Liquid Lip)
Crown WH035 PRO BLUSH BRUSH – Value $12
(This is a variant item. Subscribers may receive a different item instead.)
This is a densely packed brush with not a ton of give, so it's great for precision application.
Verdict: This box has a value of about $131! As always, the value for Boxycharm is amazing! All the items are a win for me this month, too: I can always use more blush and bronzer, I've been wanting to try this new tarte mascara, the metallic liquid lip is new to me and I like, and I makeup brushes are always a good thing!
I think Boxycharm is a perfect subscription for people who love makeup. You're going to get a lot of palettes, highlighters, etc., so it's great if you want to build your collection and try all the things! (If you only need one highlighter/palette in your makeup arsenal, this might not be the best box for you.)
