BoxyCharm June 2020 Review
Happy to see an included info card this month. My variation is #42.
Let's see what I received!
Touch in Sol 'Fill Up Orange' Eyeshadow Palette - Retail Value $32.00
I have tried some skincare and a really awesome lipstick from this brand and I liked both! I was initially hesitant about this palette though, because while I can pull off warmer shades, some of these looked really orange. Despite the really loud electric glitter, most of these shades actually feel quite neutral. All of the shimmers were very pretty and super soft, and the only 'meh' shades in terms of formula were two of the mattes (Tart and Affogato). Milk Foam is a really lovely under-brow shade and But First, Café is so flattering. The glitter is really a wow look and I find it feels pretty soft compared to how it looks and the blend of orange and electric yellow is unique and bold.
Top to bottom: Milk Foam, Espresso, Tart, and But First, Café
Top to bottom: Chai-ful, Study Break, Affogato, Brown Sugar, and Caution Hot
Laura Geller Multitasking Eye, Lip, Cheek Palette Cream to Powder Trio in Shades of Nudes - Retail Value $24.00
I have been loving cream formulas lately and this trio is a mix of blush, bronzer, and highlighter. While the bronzer feels a little too warm+red for me to use as a bronzer or contour shade, it will be really pretty on warmer skin tones and I think it makes a nice cream eyeshadow either way. The blush and highlighter I had much better luck with. The blush is a peachy pink with a very soft golden glow and the highlighter is a shimmering soft champagne that also looks great on lids. Longevity was fine but not outrageous. I find that sometimes this humidity can either melt cream formulas or enhance their dewiness, but these were strong enough to hang in there for about 5 hours before I noticed them looking a little tired.
Top to bottom: Tuscan Coral, Coconut Grove, and Gold Dust
Lilly Lashes Triple X Mascara, 8.8 g - Retail Value $24.00
This mascara was drama! I usually prefer more natural mascaras but this is a great formula if you want length and loads of volume. It took a little bit to completely dry, but nothing major. I also noticed that it is better to get all you want on in one coat, as the second tends to get a little clumpy. The brush is on the larger side, which makes it a little touchy to grab the lashes in the corners of your eye, but I think overall, a lot of people will really like this mascara, myself included!
KAB Cosmetics Charming Lip Set, 6 g and 1.2 g - Retail Value $38.00
This is a new brand to me, and apparently it was founded by Kim Biermann and her two daughters. I don't watch the Real Housewives of Atlanta, but I guess she was one of the originals. I am often skeptical when it comes to 'celebrity' lines unless I really love the celebrity and want to give them the benefit of the doubt. I have to admit that I really like this gloss. The tube itself is almost comically large and the doe-foot also feels huge, but in a good way. The shade is a super flattering pink/rose shade that I think will look really nice on a lot of people. The texture is very smooth and it has a slightly sweet scent. The liner felt like the exact same shade and (for me) didn't have great longevity, so it was a bit of a bust. It did work better as a shade used on my entire lip. Mixed feelings here, but weirdly into the gloss.
A really great shade.
First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA, 4 oz - Estimated Value $14.00 (Buy 8 oz for $28.00)
Our last item is a body scrub that is ideal for those who suffer from Keratosis Pilaris but also just a really awesome exfoliator for anyone, especially if you have sensitive skin. Inside there are tiny beads of pumice and AHA, both of which exfoliate together to improve skin texture. I tend to be really bad about exfoliating regularly because many scrubs feel too harsh unless I use them just on my bum and thighs. This one was gentle enough to use on my neck, arms, and very sensitive calves, but this should never be used on your face. This is certainly a product I would consider purchasing in the future. My skin felt great!
Verdict: My BoxyCharm box has an overall value of $132.00 which is very good for a $25 box. Compared to last month, I am pretty happy with this assortment. The Touch in Sol palette has a lot of great colors that I like and the Laura Geller palette is nice for a soft summer glow. The mascara was a hit for me as well as the body scrub, which I loved. The jury is still out on the KAB set, but I have to admit that I have worn this lip gloss a lot since opening this box.
