BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review – March 2018

This was my first box ever and I was SO excited, only to find out when I opened it I was missing not one, not two, but THREE items! I am missing the blush, the mascara (which was the one everyone was complaining about making their eyes burn) AND the under eye gels! I emailed them but c’mon that’s crazy! My box weighed .8 lbs.

Not too happy with the eye shadow pallet. I don’t care for the eye shadow colors, they are too warm for my skin tone. I got the super bright pink blush and I actually really love it! It looks great as long as I use a really light hand to apply it, I have been using a fan brush to put it on. I gave away the bella mascara. Haven’t tried the eye gels yet but I am super happy to receive them. The brushes are nice. Hoping for an eye shadow pallet I can use next month.

This is the first time in the 8 months I have been receiving Boxycharm that I got an eyeshadow with actual colors and not neutrals! I love color and am experimenting with this one. I am going to use an eyeshadow primer as suggested as my shadow wore off quite quickly. The blush is too pink but layers well. I have not found that eye treatments for dark circles work but I am pleasantly surprised with these! I used my first last night and in the morning my dark circles were almost gone! I am wearing the second today with the expectation my circles will be even better, (suggested use is to apply them 3 days in a row). I already have A LOT of brushes but hey! What’s your point? Can you HAVE too many brushes? I got Double Decker Lashes. It went on clumpy, I really had to work to get it on smoother, I am unimpressed. This is the only subscription box I have stuck with. Other boxes I don’t like and won’t use most of the items. Boxy lets me try all sorts of makeup I wouldn’t have before and I usually like everything in the box after I figure out how to use the product. I love you Boxycharm! I look forward to your box every month!

Great, got the Bella Pierre mascara. Starting to really get annoyed with Boxy sending makeup made in PRC (People’s republic of China). I won’t use it I just don’t trust that there is any quality control.

If you’re not getting payoff from this palette you probably aren’t using a primer or wetting your shimmers. The primer helps the shadow to stick to the lid and you should be using it with any eyeshadow as it increases the wear time and helps with creasing. I mean actual primer…please don’t use concealer or foundation. It’s not the same and complexion products will cause your eyeshadow to crease. NYX Proof It Waterproof primer is excellent and very affordable at $7.00.
You also need to wet the shimmers. If you don’t know what I mean…spray your brush with setting spray or water to dampen it, then apply your shimmer. It intensifies that shimmer and makes it pop. This is going to be true with most shimmers. It also vastly reduces fallout.
These two little extra steps will maximize your color payoff, make your shadow last, help prevent it from creasing or traveling and minimize fallout.
Important to note if you’ve never used a shadow primer. Let it dry completely first and then use a light shade all over the eye where the shadow is going first. This will help your shadows to glide over the primer for easy blending.

Love this box!! Sadly I didn’t receive any mascara..😢

I see everyone posting about the put bar palette and the Smokey brush but sadly I didn’t receive them in my boxy this month I’m miss two item. Wish I’ve gotten mines in too.

I loved the last PUR palette we got, but, on me, this one is just AWFUL. The colors don’t show up on my lids at all, and you can see dust clouds coming off the brush it’s so powdery. Is it just me? If so, I wonder if it’s my skin type or a bad batch?

The packaging on that blush is WONDERFUL! I love it. I got Hush Blush and really wanted the lighter shade.. if anyone wants to trade, let a girl know!

Alsooo, I tried out the South Mane eye gels tonight and got burned. I was excited to try them out because I’ve been on a real gel kick lately. Had them on for less than 30 seconds and now I (still) have red marks outlining the spot where they were under my eyes. Just to let y’all know…

I’m in sub heaven with this box. I can use everything single thing that came today but I going to surprise a friend. She’s recently had to go on disability due to cancer and she’s fiend-ing for that Pur palette, especially the blue which I will NEVER use but love about five shades. I’m rocking the glam palette and one from FFF. I can’t wait to shock her on Saturday. I totally love the brushes and blush and double decker and eye gels… yay Boxy!

Am i the only one who’s over the eye shadow palettes? I have eye shadow coming out of my ears!!! I could never use all this eye shadow 🙁

So pleased with my box this month. I received the Hush Blush and the Double Decker mascara. Exactly the variations I was hoping for. I can’t wait to use the turquoise shadow in the pallette for liner and create a look w/the peachy shades. So much fun!

I of course just got the belle pierre mascara! Womp womp! 😒. The box is great regardless but come on with the belle Pierre already!

I got my box today. Very happy! However, did anyone else’s palette appear fingerprinted up? Big fingerprint smudge on the front and the mirror was a mess. It doesn’t appear to have been used.

I just got my box and I love the palette so much. Can’t want to try the undereye masks as well!
I recieved the Hush Blush, if anyone would be interested in trading for Prim Vixen, just let me know!

Question: Does this sub usually have coupons?

I got the Hush blush shade and love it. A little goes a long way. Also works as a transition eyeshadow. Boxycharm hit a home run with me this month!

I’m now really excited for this box!

This will be my last box for a while since I needed a break from the hoard of makeup I haven’t started much less will be able to get through but I am super happy with this box. the colors of the palette are actually fun and perfect for playing up in the warmer weather which I hope will be arriving soon! also been on a major eye gel kick so it’s a great addition. I gotta say this is one of my favorite boxes since it always has something I will use generally the one item costs more than the whole box did. I hope they keep up their amazing standard so I can return to it once I made a dent in my stockpile.

I think the thing I’m most excited for besides the palette is the eye masks. Allergy season has started for us and my eyes are itchy, watery and burning. I plan to pop those masks straight into the fridge and use them on days that my eyes just can’t with the pollen. If they do what they claim in the process…well there’s an added bonus. If they don’t…it’ll still feel great on my eyes and that’s all I really want out of life right now.

Pollen already has me tore up and it’s only March. I get to deal with this until around December. Im willing to try just about anything for relief…including using eye masks as allergy relief patches for my eyes. If it works out South Mane will probably be wondering 1. Why I’m buying so many 2. What I’m doing with them. 😁

I am really looking forward to getting my box now. At first I really didn’t want the Vixen shade of blush because I very fair and redheaded but after seeing it swatched and blended out some, I now know that with a light hand I can totally make it work for me. And the pallete is so pretty and I also love that they are sending out some fun shades. I had so many neutral palettes that I gave away to a friend because I never use them. And those brush sayings are so cute!! Hurry to me Boxycharm! I want a play date.

Great review! For some reason it’s made me even more excited to get my Boxycharm in the mail!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on that palette to try out those orange/peachy shades!

Yaaay!! Looks pretty good. I hope I get the darker blush….and not sure about the eye masks, but super excited for this box!!

I am pleased with this box. I just hope I don’t get the that shade of blush. Redhead and hot pink.

Looks very trendy like for a young crowd. I’m sure ppl who want bright colors will be happy.
