August Boxycharm

After really enjoying my July Boxycharm and seeing the sneak peeks for the August box, I knew I needed it!

The theme for this month's box is Beach Please! Here is what I got in the box

Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Volume 2

This is an eyeshadow palette containing eight cool toned shades. Apparently these eyeshadows are crease proof so you don't need a primer. In the swatches these shadows don't like pigmented, some colours didn't even show up in the swatches. When I tried the shadows on my eyes, they were a bit more pigmented.


PUR Pro Lashes in Diva

These lashes are handcrafted with (apparently) the finest luxury silk. This makes provides ultra lightweight, natural looking fuller lashes. These lashes are cruelty free and are durable and reusable. I got the style "Diva" in my box and I find them to be very dramatic.


The Beauty Corp #GRLPWR Liquid lipstick in the shade Date Night

This is an intensely pigmented liquid lipstick that is enriched with shea butter and vitamin E. These ingredients is supposed to make it a comfortable wear. This lipstick claims to be life proof with serious staying power, so it won't cake, flake or dry out. To be honest, I do find the packaging to be a tad cheap looking and feeling - the lid of my liquid lipstick doesn't actually line up very well with the bottle.


Royal & Langnickel Moda Pro Brush Set

This is a 3 piece brush set. It includes a pointed blush brush, a chisel blender brush and a crease brush. These brushes are very soft and don't shed.



Bellapierre Gel Eyeliner in Ebony

This is a waterproof eyeliner. It was very creamy when I swatched it and the colour payoff was intense. I have tried Bellapierre products before and I have enjoyed them.



That is everything that I received in my Boxycharm. I am rating this box a 5 stars out of 5. I am happy to have or to try everything in this box! I can't wait to see what is in the September box!!!

July Boxycharm

I recently jumped back onto the Boxycharm train (read about my past experience here and here)! Boxycharm retails for 21$ American (or 33$ Canadian) for 4-5 full sized items.

The theme of the July Boxycharm is Cutie Pie. Here is what I got in my July box.

Blinc Electric Eyes Palette


This is a five shadow palette in some beautiful jewel tone shades! This shadows are super pigmented and seem to blend nicely (at least on my hand, I haven't tried them on my eyes yet). I think these shadows would look amazing if you spritz your brush with some water or setting spray.




Colourpop Ultra Satin Lip in Lock Diary

I personally like the Ultra Satin Lips from Colourpop so when I saw this in the box I got excited! I also didn't purchase anything from the Hello Kitty line. This is a beautiful pink colour and like all Ultra Satin Lips it is very pigmented. I do find that these don't last as long as a matte lip product but the Ultra Satins are way more comfortable to wear!

Bare Minerals Powder Duo

This is a translucent powder duo that features both a matte powder and a glow powder. When I swatched these powders, I didn't see the glow powder showing up on my skin. I have also never used any Bare Minerals products before so I am excited to play with this powder duo more.




WinkyLux Eyebrow Pencil

This is an universal eyebrow pencil. The pencil has a slanted tip which usually makes it easier to apply. I like how this product includes a spoolie on one end but when I swatched this product it seemed really dry and dark.



Project Beauty Setting Spray

This is just a setting spray. It comes in a glass bottle! I have tried this product and I found the spray nozzle did not spray a fine mist but this setting spray worked pretty well.

That is everything that I received in my Boxycharm. I am rating this box a 4 and a half stars out of 5. It lost a half star for the dry eyebrow pencil. However, everything else in the box I am excited to have or to try.
