BoxyCharm March 2019 Review
Each box comes with a card detailing the items included.
Now, on to the items!
CoverFX All in One Perfector Face Palette – Retail Value $45.00
All subscribers will receive this item.
Wow! This palette is beautiful guys. And pretty big too! I love the chic cream palette's minimal styling and the embossing on the powders. It contains 2 highlighters, a contour shade, a finishing powder, and a pretty blush! Both highlighters have a beautiful sheen and I love that they included both a warmer and cooler shade. The brightener is super subtle and gives that moon-kissed touch that we all love. The contour powder is a little warm for me, but if I use it lightly it works, and after a few days of sun this spring it will likely be an even better compliment. The blush is a cheerful pink that looks like one I would have chosen for myself. The finishing powder is a real star here too with its micro-shimmer and beautiful finish. Each of these powders is very pigmented and super smooth. This one palette will be replacing quite a few items in my on the go kit.
Top to Bottom: Starlight (highlighter), Silhouette (contour), Moonbeam (brightener), Stellar (finishing powder), Divine (highlighter), Sublime (blush)
Wander Beauty Lift Off Purifying and Brightening Peel Off Mask – Retail Value $34.00
All subscribers will receive this item.
I am loving the rose+rose gold theme happening this month! This pretty rose gold shimmering mask smells super clean and a little tart. It dried on my skin in about 15 minutes and peeled off easily in a shimmery rose sheet. It did kind of hurt me to pull it off closer to my delicate under eye skin and on my cheekbones. In hindsight, this probably shouldn't have been so close to my eyes and as for the rest of my face, I could probably benefit from some dermaplaning. I was pleasantly surprised at how soft and supple my skin felt after peeling off the papery dried mask. This formula contains acai, goji berry, blueberry, lychee, mangosteen, and green tea extracts, and helped my skin feel more smooth and look brighter. If you have dry skin like me, I recommend following up with your fave serum and a good moisturizer.
MODA Brush Powder and Soft Glow Kit – Retail Value $29.99 (currently on sale for $22.49)
All subscribers will receive this item.
Gosh, these are pretty! I am living for these rose gold products! I don't own many brushes, but what I can't live without is a blush brush. I have had mine for quite some time and I am long overdue for a replacement. This box couldn't have come at a better time! The blush brush has synthetic bristles a little less dense than my old one, but I tend to be a little heavy-handed with blush, so this might be a good thing! The highlighter brush is longer and less dense but works like a charm with the powder highlighters sent in the palette above. Both have smooth, thick, rose gold handles that feel so glamorous and are also waterproof! They make a very pretty addition to my little vanity.
OFRA Liquid Lipstick in Monaco - Retail Value $20.00
All subscribers will receive this or an ORYZA BEAUTY Lipgloss.
This pretty cool pink liquid lipstick is a great shade for trying out the chrome lip trend that is so happening right now. It is basically the chrome version of my daily dirty pink shade. The finish is kind of matte but is also satin, and I much prefer this feel to a true matte. It stays put for hours but still has some transfer. It is a nice medium pink shade with a pink metallic finish. I love this look with a clean but dewy face, glossy eyelid, and a subtle highlight.
AppealCosmetics Liquid Eyeshadow in Rose Gold - Retail Value $21.00
All subscribers will receive this item or a Manna Karad Mascara.
This is a very interesting eyeshadow! It is much more of a golded gold than a rose gold but is slightly sheer. You could easily blend this straight after application for a more subtle take on this bright true metallic. You would need to blend it pretty fast, as it dried completely and it then stuck in place until you remove it with a makeup remover. This dry down does make it possible to use as a really lovely liquid eyeliner. I don't generally wear eye products like this, but I might just try it as a super thin liner. I feel like it would add a ton of brightness to my eyes.

Verdict: I am a little obsessed with this rose-themed Boxycharm box. I really appreciate when a box sets a theme and sticks to it with high quality and wonderfully curated item choices. I really love every single item in this box, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the palette. I also love the metallic lipstick and the brushes are divine! The liquid eyeshadow will be a new toy to experiment with, and the feel was really effective and felt luxurious with its rose shimmer. The retail value of this box is $149.99 which is an awesome value for a $21.00 box!
