Boxy Charm time!
But first.....I leave for my surprise Bachelorette weekend later today! Eeek!!!
Alright back to business.
This box is $21.00 a month with free
shipping and is a “beauty box
subscription that surprises you each month with the best beauty products from
popular and chic brands. Each box contains full size and luxury size beauty
samples from preferred well-known brands.” They aim to cover a whole look from
makeup to nails, which I really like.
The theme is “Beach Babe” which isn’t
totally portrayed by the products. It
may as well be “Pretty girl” which would fit just as well. Womp womp.
Here is the August Boxy Charm!
1)
Enter
Pronoun Blowtorch Bronzer – 10 g.
(FULL SIZE)
Ok I’ve got something to admit…I have no idea
what to do with a bronzer. This stuff
looks
really dark to me too, I would make a mess of myself! Can we talk about the brand name
real fast? At first when I read the beauty card I
thought they forgot to enter the name of the
brand and that was their place
holder!
Full Size: $35.00 My Value: $35.00
2)
Tarina
Tarantino Conditioning Lip Sheen in “Floriculture”
– 3.5 g. (FULL SIZE)
I realized after I took all of my
photos that I didn’t actually open anything up so you could see the color.
Whoops. This would best be described as
almost a maroon lipstick. In other
words, no thanks.
Full
Size: $22.00 My Value: $22.00
3) ModelCo Cheek
& Lip Tint in “Rosy Red” – .33 oz.
(FULL SIZE)
I’ve already gotten this stuff from a
beauty box and I didn’t really like it.
It turned my finger totally pink and it was just too much of a hassle to
use. The color didn’t last very long either;
it wore off in patches on my lips.
Full
Size: $22.00 My Value: $22.00
4) Morphe Brushes Powder
Brush – (FULL SIZE)
I don’t have much to say about this,
it’s just another makeup brush. All I can tell you is I would never pay full
price for this.
Full
Size: $19.99 My Value: $19.99
5) OFRA Cosmetics Lip
Liner in “Silk” – .04 oz. (FULL SIZE)
Another lip liner in some neutral
shade. The end.
Full
Size: $13.00 My Value: $13.00
Final Cost: $21.00
Final Value: $111.99
Well
this looks like a fantastic value, but as always I think that is more due to
really high prices of the items. <-------
same sentence I used last month, still true.
I
don’t think I will really get use out of any of these products, which stinks.
I
wonder if I am just coming to the end of the road on beauty boxes? I feel like I am always getting the same dang
thing. Is it because I’ve received them
for so long and its no longer exciting to me, or because they really are
getting boring with the products they send?

(Also, I swear I’m not a review
blog….I just like sharing these fun things! I have not been compensated for
this review.)
I've been following along for a few months and I have had similar negative experiences with "beauty boxes", so I totally understand being "done" with it! Recently, I found the Pop Sugar Must Have box (http://popsu.gr/uHlE) and I LOVE it. This month's had over $200 worth of goodies ($40/month), including Kendra Scott earrings that I had been wanting to buy for quite some time that are worth $52! I usually end up loving half of the contents, then save the other half for last-minute birthday or housewarming gifts. Win-win. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI am always hesitant about bronzer too. I always look ridiculous when I use it. Also, I do not understand why some makeup brushes are so expensive!!!
