Blush is so on trend! Drag for girls is out and natural is in. If we could only get those social media ppl to quit whoring out to every brand and teaching girls and bois that we need 20 products for a cute look that would be great. But they only get their freebies if they teach club makeup for day looks. Too bad. I’m not buying it and I’m not watching their videos anymore.

I agree, make-up these days is crazy ridiculous. From an artistic point of view, yes it is beautiful when they are done. However, do we really need 4 layers of product on your face let alone the blush and highlighter and so on. I keep toying with the idea of starting a channel dedicated to nail art, DIY projects and classic makeup looks. Simple, pretty, and easy without needing to have 24 products on your face at once.

Mac Factor is still available overseas. I import it. A lot of new makeup is crap compared to the good stuff developed in the 50s.

I love Mac Factor, I still have a lot of their lipsticks. Too bad they dont sell it here anymore. I buy their product at duty free when I travel internationally.

Max Factor powder is fantastic. It’s the original base and setting powder all in one. Too many women are terrified of older formulas or anything with a scent but will wear 60 layers of primer, concealer, color correcter, foundation, etc. OMG just put some powder on your nose and get on with the day. Max Factor powder is my shield against the world.

Blush palette is the worst item ever ! I have found I have a plethora of blushes and have narrowed it down a few I use. So my teen gets that. I’m not excited for a thing. But it happens

I just saw in instagram that the blush palette is a variation item, you’ll either get that or the milk makeup blur stick. So all the spoilers so far a variation items.. kind of annoying not knowing ANY of the items are for sure..

I am so disappointed with the May box. I got variation 1 with the cleanser and the blush palette. The blush palette is so underwhelming I can’t even say. I receive constantly Red Lipsticks which are useless for me because I can’t wear red. My beauty quiz said pink preferred. I would be happy with the coconut Creme and a milk stick, but I am always on the short stick of the end, get wrong colors and low quality, tired of all the YouTube influencer getting the high end value items, and when I open my box the way off. I will cancel my subscription.

Larena, Interesting and odd have two very different definitions. They are in fact not interchangeable. Words are used to convey thought. If you are going to attempt to be a SJW word police, please at least look in a dictionary first. You may have a right to your opinion, as Courtney does, however, you have no right to tell others how they must act or speak. Courtney, you said nothing wrong, and you are entitled to your own thoughts and opinions.

I am so excited about the Alamar blush palettes. Whichever of the two lightest I don’t receive in my boxy, I’m going to buy on my own. They’re so beautiful and I love supporting a Latina owned brand.

I actually love Boxycharm, I have canceled only because I have so much. I have this thing about not throwing something out but using it, and also opening up 1 thing at a time, and completely using it. I see so many complaints and that is your prerogative, but I personally think that this is great for 21.00 and have no complaints. I like this box have been wanting to try the glamglow. The blush palette is a miss for me, as I use my lipstick or gloss for blush, that way it is a perfect match. I may sub this month. I just don’t understand the moaning and groaning, I never dreamed I could get quality products at such affordable prices. Sometimes I see people on her complains and it really calls it home for me how spoilt we have became.

Agreed! I don’t think most people realize how hard it is to curate a box that will please EVERYONE. As a makeup lover, I’m grateful for anything I get and I love trying new things.If I don’t like it, I can sell it or give it away! If I am continually dissatisfied, I’ll cancel!

I am not too fond of this box or June’s box. I’m not interested in blush or skincare. I prefer eye palettes, lippys,brushes etc. I’m pretty new to Boxy and I’m trying to build my makeup collection. I cancelled for June’s box. If I see something down my alley in the future, I’ll resub. 🙂

If I don’t get my right color this time according to my quiz answers I will be fine with boxycharm and boxyluxe. I’m not wasting any more money as a women of color on makeup in these boxes that don’t pay attention to my color scheme.

Me neither! Always wrong colors and lower value products! When contacting Boxycharm about that I got an apology that’s it. I’m so fed up. You get so exciting about each box and then you get low quality.

Exactly. I got the darker variation of that CoverFX palette & I really was only able to use the highlighter which was a shame.

i have way too many highlighter/blush pallets, im almost 30, i just dont do the highlighters, i prefer more of the natural looks, i wish we had more of a choice, like substitute these highlighter palettes for nail polish or facial cleansers and moisturizers. what are some other good boxes to try? any recommendations?

New Beauty’s Test Tube. Bi-monthly w/ magazine subscription. Averages around 25 per month. I’ve received full size products (most are full size) from pricey names like Pericone as well as organics and a bit of makeup. Love it.

Personally, my second Boxycharm 3 month subscription just renewed, and looking here…just sick of clown colors. The last eye pallet was simply garish. They get 3 more boxes to change my mind.

I hope to get a milk product but I don’t know what the ratio of some is… sometimes it’s a majority or half and half…other times it’s like 1/10 of people.

I also don’t really want the cbd stuff. It’s still so new and under-researched in my opinion.

CBD is not new, it’s just newly trendy, which is both annoying and good. Good because it brings awareness to a very under recognized plant compound and annoying because of how many people are trying to make a buck off of it and creating sub par product. I became a huge fan of CBD when my grandma was diagnosed with lymphoma 5 years ago. I did a ton of research on it and began implementing it into my life. I make my own balms and such for topical pain relief and also take it orally for anxiety and depression relief (and other things too).

I have mixed feelings about CBD skin and beauty products for a few reasons.
1. The CBD I get is organic and triple independent lab tested for purity. Cosmetics and body care does not have to go through any rigorous testing and the results do not have to be posted on the products. I don’t really like that.
2. The amount of CBD contained in most of these products isn’t going to make much of a medicinal difference. The dosage will simply be too low to get the therapeutic effects.
3. The mark up is insane. The amount of money you will spend on makeup and beauty products containing CBD is crazy when you compare it to how much you would pay for a small container of pure CBD isolate (think a markup of 100x or more)

CBD is amazing stuff and I really hope this new trend doesn’t ruin it/bring down quality/give it a bad name when people are expecting to see miracles (which they aren’t going to get from the beauty product version of CBD).

What CBD brand do you use? I’m interested in organic CBD 🙂

OK just to clear this up …. I was not stating that men wearing make up is odd. I was not stating the model was odd. I was not stating using men to model make up is odd. I was not subtlety condemning anyone or making any form of comment on the issue what so ever. in fact I explicitly said I have no problem with men wearing make up so please take all your hate judge mental Ness lectures and your rants and direct them elsewhere. If you read an insult or offense into my comment that’s on you . I explicitly stated my opinion and I meant exactly what I said. For all you know I am a man wearing a glorious full face of make up right now!

I was stating that was an odd choice of a photo to use to advertise a contouring palette because I personally can’t see the contouring shadow underneath the facial hair NOT making a judgment on the man wearing the contour. Good for him! Great for him! Self expression is a beautiful thing and expressing yourself and embracing your beauty through makeup regardless of gender is wonderful! Some of the most beautiful models I’ve seen are the men in the MorpheMe spoilers and I envy their skill with makeup and aspire to do half the job they do! That’s all that’s it nothing more nothing deeper nothing to infer or get all twisted up about. I was not making any form of value judgment whatsoever about the content of the photo!

Can we all go back to bashing boxy now instead of me?

I agree 💯 and I’m not trying to be hateful or anything but it makes no sense to use a model with facial hair for this

Courtney, I am with you 100%. I thought that it was “interesting”, mildly said, advertising cheek product where your cheeks covered with hair. One thing is to watch Jeffree Star, another thing to watch guy trying to apply blush over his facial hair LOL.
P.S. I know, I know, I should not laugh, but cannot help smiling over such “interesting” thing.

I was so hoping we would be getting both skin care items which I personally would love. They spoiled them first so it looked like we would get both but now it is either or. Sadly disappointed. I do not need another black mascara or black eyeliner for a long time. I also have more pallets than I know what to do with. Do not get me started about highlighters. How shimmery can on woman be???

So let’s just say the box comes with a blush palette and the rest is a surprise… we used to get three definate items and two varies now it’s one and four varied… pretty soon it’s just going to be Russian roulette with this box

Will we actually get the blush palette for our skin tone? With the cover fix one I got the wrong one for my skin tone.

If they hadn’t already charged my card, I would have cancelled this month. This is getting ridiculous. I don’t wear blush and I am getting on in this box AND the boxyluxe next month. I can think of waayyy better boxes to spend $50 on and not get crap I won’t even use. Like seriously done, too many mascaras, too many blushes and not color matched products to me. I just can’t do it anymore.

So FINALLY we get a newer and much more exciting brand (I LOVE Milk products)!
Oh but wait…only a select few will get it. This IS Boxycharm after all.
THIS is why Ipsy Plus is trouncing them. Only a limited number of variations, they’re all quality items, and most you can add on if necessary. And of course their ability to customize not just one, but several items from every box. Oh and then there’s the superior customer service…
Sorry Boxy maybe if you’d thrown EVERYONE this bone you might have begun to restore your relationship with your customers and started to give Ipsy Plus some competition. But this half-a**ed stunt that’s mainly just for show on social media (mainly to attract more customers by possibly misrepresenting what they’ll be getting) is honestly an insult to those of us that have been sticking it out for years, particularly since they started Boxyluxe, and waiting for them to work out their growing pains and start treating all customers fairly and like we’re actually valued. If this was supposed to be a part of that they failed miserably since not everyone will get one. If it was just to reel in new unsuspecting customers, it’s probably a smart (albeit somewhat misleading) move.

I don’t want to sound ungrateful because for $21 bucks it really is a good deal considering I can gift the items I won’t use and part of the fun is looking at all the stuff in the box since there are variations, but…I am full up on blush, highlighters(soooo many highlighters), and black eyeliners. Is this happening with anyone else? I’ve never opened the drops or used the wander beauty blush/highlighter from Dec. Luxe beyond swatching. I wish they’d include another spongelle.

Everyone is getting the blush palette. The brand is owned by a former Boxycharm employee. So far her products have been very good. Hopefully this is good too.

I don’t care for blush palettes TBH I never owned one tell recently I actually found the lipstick or gloss your using on your lips makes for a beautiful matching blush.
