BoxyCharm Premium April 2020 Review
Each box comes with a card detailing the items included and often listing upcoming sales and promotions. It looks like my assortment this month is box #35.
Now, on to the items!

Smashbox LA Cover Shot Eyeshadow Palette - Retail Value $45.00
I am really impressed with the color selection within this palette. There are 16 shadows (9 matte and 7 shimmers) and a full-size pencil of the Smashbox Always On Gel Liner in black. Inspired by Los Angles, this palette really has it all: bold brights, shimmering metallics, and soft neutrals. Most of these were super pigmented and smooth, though a couple of the bright mattes felt a little sparse at first and needed some extra layers to really POP. My favorite shades would be Venice Peach, Almond, Rose Bowler, and Hang. Including a full-size liner was a nice touch, and this one is a smooth and rich gel that will complement all of the eye looks created with this palette.
1 of 4 | Top to bottom: Venice Peach, Westsider, Best Coast, and #Sunset
I can't even imagine the endless possibilities within this palette.

BECCA Luminous Blush in 'Dahlia', 6 g - Retail Value $34.00
I am a blush-aholic and a BECCA lover, so I was thrilled that my box had this inside! I am also pleased that it is in a rich deeper shade that I likely never would have bought myself. I tend to stick to the softer peachy pinks, and in all honesty, I have that shade more than covered in my collection. This is a deep and slightly dirty rose shade that actually looks amazing on, though I really have to be light-handed. This could also easily double as an eyeshadow due to the rich pigment and blendability!
This is a heavy swatch, but I wanted you to really see the shade!

Lavido Age Away Replenishing Cream, 1.69 fl oz - Retail Value $69.00
As a gal in her 30s with dry skin, I get really ticked to see any sort of skincare created for "dry, mature skin" in my box. I have been buying anti-aging skincare since I turned 25, just to get a headstart! I really, really like this cream. It has a natural fresh scent that is soft but still noticeable, and absorbs fast, leaving behind a velvet finish. I could see myself using this as a day or night cream. The big ingredients inside are hyaluronic acid, Summer Snowflake, and grapefruit seed oil.

Opulent Beauty Crystal Clear Brush Set - Retail Value $40.00
I own (and cherish) a TON of makeup brushes. But I don't have anything like these heavyweight acrylic-handled beauties. They feel very old Hollywood glam on my vanity. The heads are dense and the synthetic bristles are fluffy and perfect for powders. This set includes a large powder brush, a flat top, and a bullet shape that is perfect for powder highlighter.

Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Liquid Lip in 'Cameron', 2.2.ml - Retail Value $24.00
If you read any of my reviews, you know I tend to dislike Juice Beauty skincare products. They seem to be formulated for oilier skin, where mine is very dry. I tend to really love their makeup line though! This liquid lipstick is pretty awesome. First, it applies and wears like an opaque gloss, with loads of shine! It stays glossy and bright, but if you end up wiping it away or losing some to a straw or a sandwich, it wears like a stain, leaving color behind beautifully. I am also in love with this hot strawberry shade. It reminds me very much of a glossy version of NARS Dragon Girl, another fave of mine that is more matte but shares some of the electric pink-red look.
Obsessed with this shade.

Wander Beauty Mile High Club Mascara, 10 g - Retail Value $26.00
My final item is one of my favorite mascaras! I have long loved this Wander formula because it strikes the perfect balance between length and volume on my lashes in a very natural way. It also stays put all day, which is a big deal for me since I have one eye that always seems to get mascara underneath it by late-afternoon while the other one stays perfect! No worries of that with this.
Verdict: My BoxyCharm Premium was really great this month. There wasn't a single dud in here for me! I am really excited about the gorgeous Smashbox palette and the hot red lippy! I also adore my new blush, cream, and clear brushes. The mascara is an old favorite of mine, and something I am glad to have more of (my mom permanently borrowed my old tube!). The value was also good this month, coming to a total of $238.00, which makes the cost of $35 for this box feel like a huge bargain.
