I’m seriously confused about all the people who are always commenting about how Boxycharm is “no longer the value/as good as it used to be.” I’ve gone through tones of old boxes, and personally signed up the month before they put in the Tarte palette, and I have to say, the quality and value has only gone up.
From only a year ago the brands have slowly all become more and more recognizable and big name, even for the large ticket items. Also, there regularly are large ticket items. It used to be you’d get a couple loose makeup geek eye shadow pans thrown in if you were lucky for eye products, now you get a whole Pur palatte. The only indy brands are high quality, more expensive ones now. No more boxes where the only recognizable names are MUG or Colourpop.
Speaking of, as much as I love Coloupop, and would love to try MUG, I haven’t actually gotten anything that low of value in months. The boxes have gone up a solid $30-$40 from what they were even a year ago. And it’s not like people should be having a sudden problem with the color selection, boxy has always had more out there color options as a very real and likely option to receive.
Don’t even get me started on the “there are too many palettes” people. I’m not sure how one gets angry at getting lots of product for your dollar, I signed up to get makeup, and especially signed up for Boxy because I knew it’d have lots of palettes and be a great value. If i wanted to not get makeup for my $21, I’d just burn it.
In short, if you’ve been hoping to jump on this box but are now nervous from all the complaints that “It’s really going down hill fast from what it used to be” just know it’s objectively not (Unless you consider more well known makeup, bigger makeup, and a $35ish value increase as “going down hill”). Yes, the makeup you get is likely to follow the latest trends (which I personally count as a bonus, you get to try them out without breaking the bank if it’s not for you/the trend ends quickly), but so long as you’re not trying to use this to get only work makeup, you’ll find it a great value with lots to try.
