While I don’t hate Boxycharm by any means, this will be the last Boxycharm box for the time being on Boxy Ladies. There are just other things I want to buy more and I found I wasn’t using all parts of my Boxycharm subscription every month. But that said… the February box wasn’t bad!
Price: $21/month (or less if you subscribe for multiple months)
Box Type: Beauty products, 4-6 full-sized products
Why you’ll love it: In each box you will receive 4-6 full-size beauty items from top brands ranging from makeup to skincare, beauty tools to color cosmetics. Each box has a value of $100+. Brands range from emerging to established, and you’re guaranteed to find a few new favorites in each box. Plus there are a lot of interactive features on their website to get the most out of your box!

Here is the little card that comes in the box that gives you more info about everything.
And here’s everything we got in February!
Naked Cosmetics Holographic Highlighter Palette ($39.99): I actually think it was cool that Boxycharm sent a highlight palette versus an eyeshadow palette! While the highlights themselves aren’t holographic, the packaging sure is! How pretty is that! A few months ago, I had zero colored highlighters and now I literally have three colored highlighter palettes. I haven’t used this one on my face yet but you can check out the swatches below. I like the idea of using a palette like this on the inner corner, to give a little different look than just a regular highlight, you know? It’s not a regular highlight. It’s a COOL highlight.
Not the best swatches in the world, but I’m trying a new camera setup so I can take better pictures of swatches. This will be a learning curve. And the far right swatch is the CoverFX Shimmer Veil, below.
CoverFX Shimmer Veil in Amethyst ($28): I was really interested in this product when I first saw it! I feel like this is basically CoverFX’s answer to Stila’s Shimmer and Glow shadows. I don’t wear this type of color on my eyes regularly, but I do think the color is really pretty so I am glad I have this.
PÜR X-Faux Lips Plumping Lip Exfoliator ($17): Every now and then, I really need a lip exfoliator. And whenever that is, I definitely cannot find ANY of mine. So I am glad to have another one. I do like that it’s in this pencil format so you don’t have to dig your finger into a pot, you can just swipe it on.
Vintage Cosmetics Smokey Eye Pencil ($21): This is a black eyeliner. Enough said.
Crown Pro Trio Brush Set ($29.99): I always like makeup brushes in boxes and I do really like all of the Crown brushes that I’ve tried. I also like the pink/white handle/bristles as well. Right now I’ve used the eye brush more than the other two but I am glad to have all three.
Final Grade: B
I think this was a decent Boxycharm box! Did it blow me out of the water? Nah. But will I use most of the products in it? Yeah! I do think Boxycharm is a great subscription box if you don’t have a lot of makeup because they do send full-size items and you an really build a nice little makeup collection. I also think it’s neat that they send full palettes and nice brands. But since I personally have so much makeup, I would rather pick out my full-size makeup products. I’m just at that stage of my life, ya know? Like, I would rather buy a full-size Stila Shimmer and Glow in a color of my choosing for the cost of the box. Would I get more out of a Boxycharm? Yes, of course! But I’m not getting what I know I will LOVE. So that’s where I’m at.
Do y’all love Boxycharm? Do you think I’m going to regret cancelling? Let me know what you think!

A self-proclaimed beauty junkie/hoarder with a serious Sephora problem. This blog is a total rationalization of that problem. Everything is TOTALLY fine. Her free time is a mixed combination of making fun of reality TV with her husband, hanging out with cats and finally trying to figure out how to do her hair.
Dear Daughter, Please send any eye liner that doesn’t meet your specifications to me. I continue on the unending journey to find the perfect eye liner for “mature” ladies. ❤️ Mom
I’ll bring you some eyeliners for sure but this one would not have worked for you! It tugged at the skin, wasn’t a smooth application. I think you probably need a gel-type eyeliner. Marc Jacobs and Colourpop make some good ones!
