I always like getting lipstick so I won’t complain too much, but those sure look like fall shades to me. But no highlighters or contour palettes (yet!) so I’m happy. We need a mascara! When’s the last time they did one? I’ve never gotten one and I started last Sept but I skipped Feb and March.

I absolutely agree that we need a mascara! Haven’t seen one since my first box, which was July or August last year.

I’m so thrilled that neither spoiler is a highlighter that I’m excited to get this box. I love eyeshadow pallets, and though not crazy about matte lipsticks, I like the shades. Just please, please, please, no more highlighters.

I love OFRA! I hope I get the lighter shade, I think the darker one will my redhead self look like corpse, too brown for me :0

I’m a super pale strawberry blonde and dark shades don’t look that bad on me, especially Brown colors. I got a Brown shades in the April box and it’s one of my favorite lip glosses now.

I don’t need more eyeshadow and those lip colors look really dark for summer, much more like fall colors. It is a hard pass for me this month.

I was thinking the same about the lip colors. I am disappointed that they are so dark.

You could try mixing the darker color with a lighter color to better suit you.

I’m so excited for either of these shades! I love the formula of the ofra liquid lip, but that purple from a few months ago was a bust for me. I’m glad we get to try more wearable colors this month.

Was the purple one the Mardi Gras? Or something like that? Because I wasn’t a subscriber yet and I literally almost cried that I missed that one. All I have got since I subscribed was highlighters

No, it was called Napa Valley. It was a dark metallic purple. Many said it was unwearable, but I rock mine all the time! I fell in love with the formula and the color has grown on me immensely. I get compliments on it all the time!

I love both shades so I’m not too bummed about that…but I am kinda bummed about the overload of real her and ofra. This will be my 3rd real her and 2nd (for sure) ofra from boxy in the last 6 months (Ive gotten some in ipsy too…I just can’t recall which ones besides the purple Lippie came from boxy).
The rodeo drive is my current ride or die highlight…but I’d like to see some other brands too.
However, like I said these lip colors are gorgeous and I’m perfectly ok getting them this time. I am thinking that there is something more to do with the way they get their products at such a good price that makes the brand repeats happen…and considering I always LOVE the box when it gets to my hands…I accept. 😎😎😎

Ofra literally has the best liquid lipsticks out there. They are high end and I flip
Out every time we get an ofra product! Like winning the lotto!!

I think both Real Her and Ofra are Boxy’s brand partners which is why we see them so much.

Idk…I think Real Her is just making it’s way around the more popular Boxes. They have also been in the Fab Fit Fun boxes A LOT lol. Pretty much every month they have been in Boxycharm. Seems very coincidental lol.
jamey
oh for the love of the universe, i sure hope no more highlighters!! lol. i have soooo many and none looke right or good, so i do not use them, or contour either…..last month was my first ever boxycharm and i wont use none of it. ..ofra imo has always been better then most for me, other then their bananna setting powder i dont use i got from ipsy a few months ago.

You can use the highlighters in the center of your lips to create an ombre effect with any lipsticks if they just aren’t your cup of tea. I also use the highlighters in the inner corner of my eyes or as eyeshadows. Highlighters are pretty versatile since they are so pigmented so try using them in other ways as well so you don’t feel like they have been a waste : ) Hope this helps!!

Jamey,
Ill BUY YOUR MAYS BOXY,

So far so good… This will be my third Boxycharm box, and the only one I’ve been looking forward to get… Last two were pretty *bleh* for me.

I’ve canceled all my makeup subs except Boxy. Every month, the rational part of my brain says: let it go, you have too much makeup. And every month the sub-box-addict part of my brain says: but I WANT it! Looks like another great month.

I’m so proud of you for cancelling your other subscriptions, I’m a subscription box junkie and can’t stop even though I’m so loaded with products I don’t even know where to put them! FOMO for sureeeeee. I bargain with myself about how Sephora play always has useful items for only $10 and boxycharm has the best value and full size but on the other hand I almost always love Ipsy’s bags and I’m usually happy with the products for the price. Ugh, I need therapy for subscription box addiction for sure!

Kristin
Me too I have FOMO I tell myself every month I’m going to cancel some of my beauty subscriptions, yet here I am with 3 Ipsy subscriptions, Play, Boxycharm, Glossybox, but I did cancel Birchbox lol. I need to cancel some though lol.

The Lippies are pretty but STILL on the dark side and MATTE! I’m a gloss girl. Maybe I’ll work some magic on them. I hope the palette is in the plummy (cool) shades. It’d match the 2 lip shades best. I have sooo much brown/nude palettes and sooo many red lip products. I’m not a red Lippies person. My version of a red lip is actually Fuchsia. I use pinks, nudes and rosegolds.

I hope I get off of the wait list for June! I ended up resubscribing last week.

The shades of the lippies I don’t like and I don’t want the palette I cancelled until I see something I like or when I use up some of the products I have. I’m only getting Ipsy for now because I love the bags. I might resubcribed in A few months or later. I’m going to resubcribe to Beauty Box 5 maybe next month because I use everything in the box when I get it.

The lippies shades are gorgeous!

Both of these are too dark for me. Add to that I already have the palette and that’s my cue to cancel. I didn’t like the past two months so three in a row of products not for me is all I can take.

Nice! Both of these shades look great!

Yay! Excited for the ofra lip product. I have their lip product from however long ago in one of my first months with Boxycharm in dark purple. Needless to say, not a workable lip color for me, but I love it as an eyeshadow base.

Boxy is redeeming itself this month. Looking like it’s gonna be a great box!

Please have this liquid lipstick fad be over soon- seems like they’re full of alcohol that dry out my lips and are unwearable because of the dryness.

Try Jeffree Star’s Velour liquid lipstick…I promise you will change your mind! Goes on so creamy and smooth and then dries down and feels like velvet clouds on your lips! Smashbox’s Always On liquid lipstick runs a close 2nd, with Stila Stay All Day being 3rd.

Im normally not a liquid lipstick girl because my lips feel like they’re going to crack when I smile or talk, but ofras formula is by far the best I’ve ever tried! It’s not drying at all (at least not the ones I’ve tried) and the staying power is insane! Also, if you find a liquid lip you really love but find it’s too drying, use a lip balm under it. It will make it way less drying 🙂

Bring back bullet lipsticks! I’m just not a liquid girl. No matter what or which, I’m just not a huge fan really.

Try Stilla’s water lip primer it works great for these .And please let me get the Santa Ana because I already own the other.Love ofra products

Just add to the tube a couple drops of some oil like maracuja, Argan, jojoba… It would make the formula a lot more wearable

Oh, the Ofra ones are one of the most non-drying and comfortable liquid lipsticks on the market. That said, they aren’t transfer proof like the others. I think most people have issues with them transferring like a traditional lipstick.

Check out Colorpop’s Ultra Satin lips. All the benefits of a liquid lippie without the dryness of a matte!
Reply
linz
Second that! The ultra matte is too drying, but the ultra satin has wonderful pigment and staying power while feeling nice on the lips. I think they have a big sale now, too

Thanks!
