BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review – May 2018

Late.. but the Cover FX blurring primer is a HG item for me. Try it if you have this box and haven’t used it yet. I am so happy with the results.

THIS IS THE BEST BOX EVER!!!!!!! Well except for the brushes, the brushes suck. But the Huda lipgloss I’ve been wearing everyday I love it so much, and I’ve always wanted a couture palette and gel liner, I dont own either so I love this box…youre not going to love every product you get..thats just how it is…but overall this box was awesome

Just wanna day that Boxy is awesome. My box was delivered in a trash bag and soaking wet. It also smelled horrible. I email Boxy and was promptly email back for more info. I sent what was requested and at about 6am this morning, I had an email that said they would replace the box. Awesome customer service!!

Anyone else receive the Han lippie in Nude Rose? This was the lippie in my box, I have variation #1 listed in the bottom corner of the product description card. Wondering about anyone else’s experience with this lip product before I open and use, or I may just swap it

hey hey boxy friends this will be my first boxy and my payment went thew yesterday. so when should i expect to get my shipping notice ? and help would be awesome thanks

So my brush trio was missing this month. Customer service was very quick to respond, but said it will be in my NEXT box. So much for using the eyeliner gel, which is the only thing I was dying to try. The Pur palatte and matte lip are going up for swap. I don’t like matte.

So sad.

I thought this box was terrible. I started last month and really liked that box but May was just awful. The brushes were so cheap. The trio in no way is worth $45. They are dollar store quality at best and the PUR contour palette is poor quality and way too dark for me. And why another brush as a second item? Pretty unhappy this month and not sure whether to stick it out for another month.

Th Beauty Creations lip gloss (shown here) is the worst lip gloss I’ve ever encountered. The color was nice. I put it on and it seemed fine until I pressed my lips together and they stuck. Like badly. So I tried to remove it with a wet wipe. Nope. I tried a few more wet wipes. Nope. So I had to use my Lush Lip Scrub a few times to completely remove it. It was like glue.

Boxy comes through again!! All I wanted was the Pretty Vulgar eyeliner pot. I wasn’t going to think about anything else (mainly because I feared a lip gloss). BUT I just opened my box to see a deep pink/cherry matte lippie. It is the same collab, but I have the Kiss Me color.

I wasn’t crazy about the brushes, but I do appreciate a good eyeliner brush, and now I have two more. I’ve been trying different styles of face brushes, so this batch suits me.

For the record: 0.8lbs 8x5x2in.
My box UPC label code ends in the # 1.
I think the lippie was the only variant this month.

Oh, and for shattered palettes, Boxy has a tutorial on their FB page. They say to crush all of it into a fine dust in the pan, dribble some rubbing alcohol over the pan, and allow it to dry. I did this once with an Anastasia holographic/highlighter palette and it works. I didn’t crush all the color into a powder; I merely crushed any lumps in the broken area and dribbled in the alcohol. When the alcohol evaporated the particles were back to normal. No change in product performance.

I’m sorry but this box SUCKS!! The brushes are not worth the retail price they are going for and why are do we need four of them counting as 2 items. I was expecting something better for a birthday themed box. Hopefully next month is better.

I received my shipment notice on Wednesday and got my box this morning. It appears to have come from a distribution center in Ellenwood GA (that’s the first location in the tracking info), which is about an hour from my house, so it had a short trip to my mailbox. I have to say, I am a liquid eyeliner addict and this PV stuff…WOW. One dab in the adorable pot and I have a perfect result. I am waiting to see how well it lasts, but if it does, I will buy this stuff forever. Even color, easy to apply with the provided angled brush, and it dried quickly. I am by no means an expert in applying makeup and this is foolproof. I am so impressed with this eyeliner (that I wouldn’t have bought on my own) that the rest of the box is just gravy. I can see getting to the point of makeup overload eventually, but this is my third Boxy box and I am in love.

I got my box today and the highlighters in the Pur kit are shattered 🙁 Anyone know if Boxycharm replaces these items? I must have bad luck because a bonzer from a Fab Fit Fun box also came shattered and FFF credited my account.

I got the same box. Looks like the matte lipstick is a boxy collab, it has their name on the box. It felt a little bit dry when I was applying it and it still feels tacky after application. Dries fast and no transfer but really sticky. Lets see how hard it will be to take off later. The box felt light even though we got an extra product this month.

So excited t get that Eyeliner and the palette…I’m dying to play with both!!

P.s. wish you would have showed us a look with it, to give us ideas..,

I hope boxy sends us a nice perfume sample, maybe some face hair remover, some good tweezerman tweezers, setting spray, setting powder…some red/berry GOOD lip products.

Lip color is like every single other box for the past 2 years…whomp whomp…..not sure how to contour , excited for brushes (not spoolie) and the eyeliner. I’ve never tried this kind and wonder if it’s easy to use, and does it go on smooth??!!

Loved your review Marne – have fun with that eyeliner!

I have subscribed for almost two years, I don’t use anything, and keep making baskets for fundraisers

great review, omg you r pale! I live in FL 🙂

That’s my favorite primer, so that makes the box worth it, but the rest is kind of a miss for me. The contours are warm toned so will look orange on fair skin, plus being dark, so I will likely just sell it on makeup exchange. Aesthetica brushes are very poor quality, generally you can find a complete set for under $15 for a reason from them. I haven’t tried the lip brand before, but reviews seem pretty negative. Still, that primer is one of the best I have tried, so very happy overall this month. It is wonderful for pores or areas where foundation sometimes bunches in fine lines by mid day. That and the urban decay optical illusion are really the only ones I have noticed a big difference, though the dr Brandt primer from a couple of months ago is really nice just on its own

I feel like these brushes are awful quality. I’m scared to even use the contour bc it looks so dark.

PSA: The lippie gets stickier as it dries. Not happy with that. If I’d have know how sticky it was I would not have even tried it. I got kiss me, which seemed fuchsia in some of the online videos, but on my lips turned into a meh red. It is hard to get off so points for long wearing. Just to dang sticky.

I just received this today. I was excited to try the lippie since it’s a pretty color (I got kiss me) but it feels awful on my lips. Drying and sticky. I’m so disappointed.

I want this box. I wonder if I signed up today would I be able to get it?

The lip color looks pretty! I’m not excited for the palette, I’m tired of Pur, I never really like their stuff. I am excited for the primer though, I love primers.
