BoxyLuxe Subscription Box Review – December 2018

I got the exact same box (but a pink straightener). I think it’s a great box (though I really wanted that Pretty Vulgar setting powder) – but it didn’t make me want to stay subbed to boxycharm. With ipsy only charging $25 for similar quality, I think it’s more worth it. The Wander palette, mascara, and lipgloss were a total miss for me.

Violet Voss, where have you been all my life? Now that I’ve tried the HG palette, I need more VV in my life. Definitely the star of the box for me. I got the straighetner and really liked it…for a week until it stopped working altogether. The one I got in my Cult Crushes is still going though.

As my no buy year started the day after Christmas I was very happy to get this box and then cancel all together. I am swapping the straightener and the Elemis but everything else was great.

I used the Violet Voss pallet this morning for the first time and maybe I just chose too many neutral colors but I had to go over it multiple times because the color wasn’t there. I had even used the Mac Fix+ on my brush and still didn’t get much color.

I must be the only one not impressed with the Violet Voss palette. I didn’t feel it was very pigmented at all.

How cool is the lip brush that you can cover up? I have never seen that kind. I need a pack of just lip brushes!

OMG! This was my first Boxy Lux and I was so floored with everything I got! I almost felt like I was getting more than I deserved. Best box ever of all time! I did get the powder and it is my new favorite. Since I have super thick hair i new not to ask for the flat iron. Heard complaints about the chemical smell of the brushes. Turns out it was just the rubber packing material holding the brushes in the box. No smell on the actual brushes. Unbelievable Christmas box!

I remeber that Joe (boxycharm ceo) told that no matter what you choose – palette or flat iron – it won’t matter on what you receive – blush palette or setting powder. But I haven’t seen anybody with powder and iron in one box. I really wanted that setting powder, if I knew, I would choose palette to have chance for getting Pretty vulgar

I am still waiting for this box! It seemingly got lost in the shipping mess that is FE Smartpost; this happened over a month ago. That’s not Boxy’s fault…but their response and response time has been less than stellar. They said I needed to try to track it down myself…which I did…but after multiple calls and chats with no luck FEx told me it wasn’t even trackable due to the point at which it went missing, and that it was Boxy’s responsibility to ship me a new one. More emails back and forth and Boxy agreed to…but couldn’t commit to sending me the choice item I’d selected and received confirmation for (the mini flat iron), which was the only reason I signed up in the first place. They also said that since they “ship in waves” it wouldn’t go out until the next batch, so wouldn’t ship for 5-10 more business days. (I get that they ship their boxes in waves…but given that this box went out to everyone around 6 weeks ago now, and is no longer even available, I’m not exactly sure how that fits this particular situation…)So it’s now been almost a month since I reached out to them; they just shipped the box, but I don’t even know if it is what I ordered, and it won’t be here for about another week. I contrast their response to the response from another sub where I had a similar shipping issue…the other sub took one look at the tracking, saw there was indeed an issue, and put a replacement box in the mail the next day…

Is this box real? Probably the best curation ever. And that value! I bought the Violet Voss palette at full price.

December was my first BoxyLuxe, I kept the brushes and Elemis, gifted most of the rest. I really wanted the VV palette, but my daughter was thrilled with it. It was a great box, if it hadn’t been Christmas I would have kept it all to myself. 😈😇

We got the exact same box. I have been on the fence about this box and still think the initial launch was better, but your review has made me look at some of the items in a better light. thanks, Liz!

I was blown away with the box. They packed in so many items that weren’t just no name brands. I kept some for myself and gave away a few things. For once my expectations were exceeded by a sub.

I love love love beauty boxes I get Boxy Charm my absolute favorite one I got the Boxy Luxe around Christmas and was shocked and excited at what I had recieved lots of makeup a full face contouring kit and even a super cute little mini lime green hair straightener I am very happy that was really amazing products always great stuff in there beauty boxes. 2nd box I get is by Medusa Makeup love this one too bright fun stuff my favorite Medusa’s Makeup beauty box right now that I got was the Unicorn box love unicorn and I thought was really Sparkly fun box. And I also get Ipsy once a month I love this one too I like that you get cute makeup bags with the products every one . I’m pretty happy with all of them and you get awesome full size products thank you for making such cool beauty boxes!! And I always recommend all 3 of them !💋🦄💖💖

This was my first BoxyLUXE and I will definitely will be continuing with the March subscription…we will see after that (I am pretty at capacity for makeup right now). But I love Boxy, it is the best value out there!

The VIolet Voss is definitely one of my favorite palettes ever! And I’ve been wanting to try the Spongelle for a long time. The brush set made a great Christmas gift.

Loved my BL box! Was such a nice Xmas gift to myself 😉 Felt it was better than the initiAL launch box and definitely worth the price. Can’t wait for the next one. Only con was the strong chemical smell of the brushes upon opening them… probably just need to be aired out but definitely not good to have such a strong chemical smell. But love the softness of the Luxie brushes.
