BoxyCharm Beauty Subscription Box Review – February 2015box

Anyone notice that since Boxycharm gave everyone 3000 charms for the broken concealer that there has been nothing on the site to redeem your charms for?? I’ve emailed them twice about it and not gotten a response.

My 1st Boxycharm box and I love it! I’m not sure I’ll use the polish, but it won’t go to waste. I like the brush, my fingers are crossed on the mask and even if the color of the lip crayon is not for me I’m excited to try it. I’m looking for something that keeps its color longer than an hour.

My concealer was also damaged, it was broken up. I emailed the company right away. It took a day & half, but they got back to me with a great resolution. They’ve given me 3,000 charms ($30) to spend in their store. Said they didn’t want to risk sending me another damaged consealer. Also gave me a tip that I could scrape the product into a little make up tub and still use it with a brush. Win-win! So glad I signed up!

This was my very first Boxycharm, and I was extremely disappointed with the items included this month. Before subscribing, I did a ton of homework on this site so that I could narrow down the boxes that give the best quality, full-size/deluxe size products. The products they included this month were a waste. They might as well have included a bottle of clear nail polish, because that’s basically all you get when you apply the NCLA polish. The lip crayon was insanely pigmented – it’s a pretty color, but it is not a color I could pull off and the concealer came damaged. I do love the face mask and the make-up brush. I felt the value of the box was right on, but the products were not personally to my taste. I’m interested to see what they send for March, and am hoping that I enjoy the products more than I did February’s box. We will see…

This was the most disappointing Boxy Charm box I have received but I didn’t hate the box and I still feel it’s worth the $21 a month. First, I didn’t get my box until yesterday which is March so that was a bit disappointing.
Second, my concealer ALSO came damaged and I didn’t realize it was an issue till I followed this comment thread. The thing that most irritated me is that my actual box was undamaged and the concealer lid was securely fastened and there was already product on the outside of the container. The product had even gotten onto some of the packing and other boxes. I opened the lid carefully and dumped the broken stick in my hand and it had debris on it! It was so gross I will definitely NOT be using this product.
I have emailed BoxyCharm regarding the issue and have yet to receive a reply but I’m going to give them a few days as it seems many people are having this issue. What is most frustrating is that it is obvious to me that the item was packed and shipped in the condition I received it- this didn’t happen in shipping.
Regarding the nail polish- eh. I agree with the comments above you get like 2 hearts per swipe so it’s not very good for applying the confetti. I would suggest globing some onto tin foil and using a toothpick to apply individual confetti pieces.
I definitely won’t be canceling my subscription over this but it is more frustrating to know a lot of people have experienced this issue.

This is my first box from BoxyCharm, and I’m really impressed so far!

I really like the concealer and I always love getting new makeup brushes, so those are both big wins for me. Even though Valentine’s Day is over, I’ll still use the heart nail polish for something cute on my toes. I received the Raspberry Ice lip shade – I usually prefer to wear pinks, but this is nice to change my look up a bit for something different.

I doubt I’ll get much use out of the face mask, but I LOVE the packaging and will probably use it for decoration in my bathroom.

Overall, a huge win! I hope they keep up the great work.

Loved the mask! Wow my face was so soft after using it. I then put on the face oil I received from my ipsy bag and it felt like a great pampering for my dry skin.

I JUST got my box today. Loved the polish I did a cute little pattern with the hearts on my thumb, the lip pencil I got was in Raspberry Ice not quite red but not too pink. I’ll probably get a little bit of use out of it. The concealer I’m not sure about, when I gave it a quick test out on my hand it was VERY yellow toned. All I have left to try is the brush and the mask which I can do this evening. All in all it was a pretty good box I think.

Seems like quite a nice selection for $21!

Really great box. Although my concealer came damaged, I hope they will send me a new one.

I stand corrected! The concealer covered my college student understeer circles very nicely, and really did have a powder feel. I may actually use this regularly! I got the crayon in that pink, and it’s nowhere near my comfort zone, but I may actually find a way to tone it down. The matte finish it has is it’s only savior. If it was that pink, and glossy? No way! The mask will get used tomorrow in celebration of writing an essay in four hours. Haven’t used the brush yet, but I’m not sure what it’s for. It looks too big to be an eyeliner smudger…

This is going to be my first boxycharm and ngl, that typo on the info card has already got me doubting. Not excited about the concealer, as i am etnic, and even if i wasn’t, i don’t use concealer or foundation, or anything like that. I live in az, that stuff’ll just melt right off! The nail polish is a win, as i love any and all nail polish. the mask looks interesting, as i’ve only ever used prewet(?) mud masks. the brush will get used, but nothing thrilling to me. the lip crayon looks fun, but if it has a lipsticky feel then no thanks, lol. Really hoping this sub works out, as it’s more then twice the cost of my other sub, and paying the 210 bucks upfront was a bit painful.

Liz… I LOVE the color of lip crayon you received, I’ve been looking for pretty much that exact shade for a couple of weeks. If I get a color that’s wearable for you, maybe we can swap??

The lip product is my favorite item in the month. I received a reddish raspberry shade that is (amazingly) the perfect red for me, so I’m very happy with it! The polish is cute but I don’t think it will get much use.

I’m most excited for the cleanser in this box, it reminds me of S.W. Basics. I don’t like the nail polish at all, but I’m not into cutesy hearts and things. The concealer I’m kinda of eh about, I have yet to find a super great concealer. My favorite was from Merle Norman that they discontinued a few years ago.

Ugh, I am so tired of the bright pink lip colors I receive in my beauty boxes! They look good on nobody except maybe Nicki Minaj. This box is a total lose for me except maybe the concealer.

I love the box, but still hasn’t arrived to me yet :-/. For Valentine’s I used the Julep hear polish but I think this one is better as it doesn’t have any glitter in it, just hearts.

Nice box! Looking at it makes me want to re-sub, but I am trying to remind myself that I don’t actually need another mask or lippie or polish. We’ll see how long that lasts!!! 🙂

Dang, I want this box. I cancelled for last month because of my allergy. Will have to see if I can still get it. This is a good box.

I think this looks like a great box, I just wish they had the nail polish in last month’s box since most subscribers won’t get it before valentine’s day.
