Boxycharm November 2014 Spoilers!

Well…got my box. Have to say I am underwhelmed. The blush is very chalky – and it has glitter. The hair chalk (I got gold) is very powdery and oily at the same time – definitely a no-go for me. The white eyeliner has
PINK glitter in it. The eye shadow – very glittery and looks like it would have major fall-out. The eye primer seems good – but it is REALLY overpriced – $45 for a little pot. I’ll give them another month and then I’m done. Does someone have Barbie’s number? Tell her I have her box.

The newest spoiler is a black or white glitter eye liner…. I personally could never wear a white liner, even with gold.

I just got off of the waitlist a few days ago, and I’m SO excited for this box!

I’m in need of a bit more blush variety, and I think this color will pair perfectly with my super fair skin. Perfect!

Keeping my fingers crossed for the gold Colorbug!

The OFRA blush looks good – although it does seem to be VERY pigmented – and sort of a summer color. I can just keep it until then if it doesn’t work for winter. The Color Bug ….. really?? Looks like it would be a hot mess. Seen the Amy Poehler Old Navy Coat Commercial?? Not for most adults that have to work in a professional setting. The 8 year old who lives next door to me will be getting it.

Hair chalk? I get that it’s trendy, but it’s still more trendy for a younger crowd, say pre teen to 22. I’m 33 and consider myself a young 33 who likes to be trendy but I have absolutely no use for this, I think it’s lame. I have medium to dark brown hair, if anything I think the purple would be okay, but my husband would think something was wrong with me if he saw me sporting hair chalk. In my salon, not a one stylist has it and I RARELY see it on anyone over 25..maybe im just..not that cool. Lol.

It is hair chalk and while I am all for trying a new highlight(s) chalk is messy and makes your hair kinda look dry. I like trying new things so I may give it a go. I saw a video of the white though and it looks chalky not really white and just pale and horrible.

I am really suprised that they included an item like this but if I decide not to use it I am sure I have someone on my gift list that will like it.

I wanted a new blush and I like Ofra cosmetics so I am excited for the blush. Was hoping for a peachy coral color; I have a few pinks already but excited because I have yet to find a holy grail blush.

I noticed the theme for boxycharm and ipsy are so similar or identical so I hope not to receive a ton of glittery products but the spoilers so far look great for ipsy so I am excited! 🙂

So the videos on the color bug are kind of neat – the white one looks great on blond hair and can be used as dry shampoo apparently (http://kevinmurphy.com.au/video/km-white-bug-vodcast-very-high-h264-960px/) and the shimmer one (there is a video on his site for this too) looks pretty with slicked back brunette hair….fun look for a holiday party!

I’ll be looking to swap for the shimmer!

After watching the video, I’m actually excited for the hair chalk (and I’m 40.) I was a new subscriber off the waitlist for October – was charged at the start of the month, still haven’t gotten that box and have already been charged for this month’s box. Any idea if they’re normally this slow? I sent an email to them today about it.

Excited about the hair chalk hopefully I get purple! I dye my hair black so I don’t think gold or white would be good. I hate blush since I already have very red/pink undertones and very red acne cheeks so I won’t be using that. I’m opposite from most people posting

When I first heard about the color bug I was disappointed just like most of the comments until I looked more into the product and I’m very excited for it. The gold is not a shimmery gold like confetti it’s actually meant for brunettes and it adds gold highlights to your hair that looks really pretty. The white is meant for blondes and it adds a very light blonde highlight as well. The purple will go on as purple and it looks really fun. I’m looking forward to the blush and the color bugs 🙂

I cancelled after I realized I wasn’t able to use anything from the October box which was my fault. I bought it for the main spoiler without realizing it had witch hazel in it. I’m in my 40s and think the color bug looks fun. Hair chalk is big in my area. I can see myself wearing purple. I’m not going to put myself back on the waitlist for it, but a part of me wishes I didn’t cancel.

The blush looks to be a lovely shade and should be very wearable. I like the color bug, I think it’s a fun and different item for them to include. Of course, I’m hoping for the gold as I think that would be the best for my blonde hair.

Kevin Murphy is a high end brand that is sold in fancy salons, so I think it’s great they’re including a quality brand. I am a little worried about the repetition of brands over the last few months, so hopefully the rest of the box will have even more diversity of brands.

Of course, they already have a waiting list, so it’s not like they need to advertise their best spoilers now in order to get subscribers for this month. That could mean the rest of the box will be just as good!

Yesterday I cancelled Julep, Glossybox and Splendies. I think I might at Boxycharm to the list. I’m pretty meh about both of these spoilers, and didn’t care much for last month’s box either.

the blush I will definitely use but that hair color bug, really? I think they might be losing their touch. I would think the boxes would be getting better not worse during the holiday season. This does not seem like a normal item any box would give out, even Ipsy. I really hope the rest of the products are things most of us can use. They only have one more month to impress me and I’m out!

Meh about the blush but super excited about hair chalk! Has nothing to do with age…more about personality and taste differences…My mom (50+) and I (29) love fun hair colors!

I am loving the blush and I am very excited try it. The hair chalk will be perfect for my 10 year old daughter … Thinking great stocking stuffer. I can’t see myself ever using it!!!

Excited about the blush! Meh about the hair color, as someone with the blondest hair possible, I don’t trust hair coloring stuff, haha. I am sure I can find someone who would have fun with this though, even if just my niece. I am still a fan of BoxyCharm for now!

I think the blush is a gorgeous shade, I can’t wait to get it. But yeah I’m not too excited about the hair chalk, but I’m sure my niece will love it, she’s 5.

Hair Chalk Interesting – If only it would come in regular hair colors to cover up grey. – The gold I can sorta understand, if someone is going to a festive holiday party, it might be fun to ad a bit of hair sparkle. Not the other colors.

BoxyCharm has me a little worried… They had two AMAZING months followed by two months of ‘meh.’ I kind of feel like they are curating boxes for younger girls (teen-young adults) I’m a little old to be sporting hair chalk.

Excited about the OFRA blush… not so excited over the color bug. I cannot think of an occasion where I as a mid-40’s professional business person would need to put this type of color in my hair – I will definitely gift that item to a niece.
