BoxyCharm Beauty Subscription Box Review – July 2014

I can’t wait to see your August review. What was your lipstick and cheek stain color? I wanna trade mine and the other bronzer, this one is dark. but this box is awesome!!!!!!!!

MODEL CO CHEEK AND LIP STAIN (RED)
TARINO TARINTINO LIP STICK
OFRA LIP LINER
PURLISSE SAMPLE 0.5
BLOW TORCH BRONZER

This was my first boxycharm, I thought it was a good deal. I got a hot pink appeal lipstick that is perfect for my theatrical make up kit.

What did you guys think of the box in general? The only items that I liked was the eye shimmer and Purlisse ( This was my fIrst Purlisse).

The nail polish was red and the lipstick toooo pale. 🙁

What do you guys think?

The spoiler for August is a bronzer worth $35. One looks way too dark, two different brands. That is the only spoiler. Hope they are including a nice brush. I’m not super thrilled about the spoiler but what about you guys?

I am new to the sub box. At 45 should I go with Glossybox or Boxy Charm? They both look great. I am afraid of getting bright colors I’m a fair skinned, blue eyed ginger. Thanks for the help of spending my money

Since I’m a newbie in comparison to most subscribers, I haven’t had a chance to try Purlisse until now. It’s a good moisturizer but nothing special and certainly not worth spending $55 for. My Olay works better for less then half the price but doesn’t have spf so I’m kinda glad to try a new moisturizer. Btw Purlisse can be found on Amazon for about $20.

I’m glad they have Purlisse for newbies but not so often, especially since I’ve noticed most of these subscription companies have them quite often.

For those interested in Blush Beauty mystery box. They do give you a free gift (expensive eye lash curler) and samples with your first purchase. It has honestly been the best value box that i have ever seen thus far. It is $25 a month beauty subscription or a one time purchase of $35 and you can cancel anytime. They will WOW you… They ship and I received my box in 2 days from the order with tracking confirmed. They are 5 stars in every business aspect.

This was my very first subscription box of any kind in the mail. I have to say i was not disappointed. Of course with my skin tone, some will best be used in the winter. But for$21 I received $127 worth of product. Sounds like a wonderful thing

This box just isn’t as great as last month’s, however (minus the Pur-lisse) it’s still a good box. I’ll stay with Boxy for a while, they always have a good value… Right now I’m really debating on cancelling my Glossybox for a while and trying Blush Mystery. I’m a sucker for a good box!

Hey look…..it’s another Purlisse sample…again. That’s about as welcomed as an uninvited dinner guest. Surely, other beauty products do exist.

I dont like.:(

I struggle with Purlisse not only because it seems to make its way into 90% of beauty boxes, but also because its on Hautelook sometimes for super cheap. So the “$55” value just doesn’t stand true to me.

I just tried the Purlisse for the first time today and I do love it but don’t think it’s good enough to cost $55 and its just over $20 through Amazon. My normal moisturizers are $12 and $23 by Olay and boy do they make my face glow and feel soft. Purlisse is my new day cream since it does have spf. I do think for the Purlisse alone the box does pay for itself. I love the shimmer powder, it’s my favoriTe product. The rest of the items are blah since they are not wearable with my tone. All in all I will definitely keep boxycharm for awhile. I did see that they did have Purlisse a four months back and I’m hoping they don’t offer it again for awhile. Especially since most subscription boxes have Purlisse regularly and I’m sure I will have more soon.

My favorite boxes for a huge value and items that are keepers for me is Blush Beauty Mystery box and Boxycharm followed by Lip Factory.

Mid value Glossy boxy. Lowest birchbox with ipsy almost mid value, better then Birchbox and beauty box 5 almost mid value; again better then Birchbox. Then Sample Society.

I have all of these besides Glossybox because of the dreaded customer service issues I’ve read about and Sample Society because of value. I am however thinking of canceling Birchbox. It seems like I get $5-15 in value each month. No deal. I am with them because of there good point system.

I am really impressed with Blush Beauty MysTery box. They ship and items that arrive in 2 days, huge value and GREAT customer service. Definitely a keeper and I challenge you all to read the box reviews. Always 4 1/2 – 5 stars (usually 5!!!!! ) It is the only box that I’m usually pleased with ALL items. Almost $200 worth value.

Another Pur-lisse! Why is it that I only have one bottle of Pur-lisse when I want more? I rather not have to pay for sunblock although I do understand why it is frustrating to keep receiving Pur-lisse in makeup boxes. That is one less new item to try. It does seem to be on target for a summer box.

Ooops i meant that i don’t care for the red nail polish and I’ve received two this month. The Lipstick looks great but gOes on super pale and whitish.

I received the nude lipliner and mock up lip stick. I actually tried them and it just does not go with my skin tone. I expected to love the lipstick when I saw the color but it’s very pale. I don’t care for red lipstick. I am new to boxycharm so I did like the Purlisse and the eye shimmer. Those were my favorites and probably all I will use. This was a disappointing first month but the value was great and with those two items, it was totally worth it. Blush beauty mystery box and boxycharm have the highest value boxes that I’ve seen. I’m about to go to lip factOry as the value seems great there too. Last month boxycharm had a fantastic box so this box seems kind of blah to me.

This was my first BoxyCharm box (I decided to try it instead of Lip Factory for awhile because Lip Factory got stuck on a couple of brands that showed up in EVERY box). I was happy with my box. I think everything was the same color except my lip liner was a nude shade. It would actually go really well with the lipstick I got.

I kind of groaned at the Pur-Lisse but I have been going through sunscreen like crazy so it will get used. I probably don’t need another red nail polish (I already have like 10) but I will give it a try to see how I like the formula.

I’ve been loving BoxyCharm’s value, but I get a ton of subscription boxes a month and the beauty ones are all starting to look the same. I don’t use the Pur-Lisse items and have gotten one in almost every box the past few months. I am going to cancel GlossyBox as soon as I redeem my GlossyDots next month. I will hold onto BoxyCharm for the value and the fact that the items they include are actually really nice and all deluxe and full size…they are super easy to swap/sell too because not a ton of people subscribe to BoxyCharm yet.

I’ve been looking at this box for a while. Interested because of the value. The last box seemed great ( even though I don’t wear make up – I was still thinking of getting it because I liked one item ) – this box is boring and sick of seeing the purlisse, also I don’t like nail polishes in boxes. The BellePierre I got in another box. So glad I did not sign up yet for this box. Seems like the rest of the beauty boxes, nothing unique about this box even though the price point is good. Rather get another MeMe box for the price …. I’ll continue to see how boxy charm boxes, to see if they get a bit more unique.
