Hey Guys,
Happy New Year! I had over a week off after Christmas and had all these plans to get stuff done before going back to work after the new year. While I did get some things done, I have been super sick for the past few days and it has halted my blog work. I have a ton of reviews to bang out but right now I need to focus on feeling better so that I can do so. Unit then, this is the long awaited review of my BoxyCharm for December and the Limited Edition Box. For those of you unfamiliar with BoxyCharm, it is a monthly beauty subscription box. You receive 4-5 FULL SIZED products each month. The subscription is $21.00 a month and usually has a theme. The theme for December was "Glitz & Glam". I wasn't super excited about this box at first glance but I did know that most items would get used. I also will be talking about the infamous Limited Edition box and the items I received in that box! Check out my video below to hear my thoughts on each product. Keep reading to check out the featured brand discount codes this month.
Beaute Basics Bronze Essentials $39.95
This is a really pretty bronzer. I like that it can be used several different ways. You can either use the separately or swirl them all together for a custom look.
Here are the swatches of the two matte bronzer shades, the shimmer strip, and them all mixed together:
Real Her Be Fearless, Be Limitless Blush Kit $32.00
While this looks like a quality blush palette. The first two colors don't really interest me. The third color is definitely more my speed.
Tarte Tarteist Lash Paint Mascara $23.00
I have tried the sample size of this mascara and didn't love it but will give the full size product a try to see if I like it any better.
I'm always down for brushes. A beauty lover can never own too many brushes!
Pretty Vulgar My Lips Are Sealed Lightweight Liquid Lipstick $24.00
I don't love this color but I was really interested in trying out this brand. I traded this color Particularly Sophisticated for a metallic brown color called Weeping Widow which I like alot more.
TOTAL VALUE: $130.95

BoxyCharm Limited Edition Box 2017
Tarte Be Your Own Tarteist Palette $38.00
I was really excited to get this palette. I love these colors (especially the left size). I also really like Tarte blushes. Tarte is mu favorite high end brand as well. The packaging is gorgeous!
Here are swatches of the shadows on the left side plus the blush:
CoverFx Custom Enhancer Drops in Halo $42.00
I haven't tried these drops or anything similar before so I am interested to see how I like them.
bareMinerals Gen Nude Buttercream Lip Gloss in Popular $18.00
While the color is my style, I don't like glosses as I prefer more pigmentation. I will be passing this along or saving for a giveaway.
PUR Big Look Lengthening Mascara $21.00
This mascara got a ton of good reviews. I really like lengthening mascaras so I can't wait to give this a try.
Makeup Geek Full Spectrum Eyeliner in Espresso $9.00
I am interested in the formula of this liner however I have many brown liners. I may pass this one along.
Becca First Light Priming Filter Travel Size $18.00
I am disappointed that this was travel size when everything was said to be full size. However, I am glad I was able to try this primer. I really like it!
Sigma Beauty E35 Tapered Blending Brush $17.00
I love Sigma brushes and was so excited to see this in the box. I have been using this blending brush everyday and am very happy with it.
Ofra Advanced Vitamin C Cream Travel Size $31.36
I was confused why this item was included in the box. I think moisturizers are very specific to skin type and concern. I also noticed this isn't a full size item either. I'm not sure if I will use this or pass it along.
Total Value: $194.36
Overall, while I'm not mad or sad about this box, I did expect MORE. Each month I pay only $21.00 for over $100 value. The December box had a 130.00 value. Since this box was more than double the price, I expected MORE from this box. Both with the products featured as well as the overall value. The value was more than the h$44.95 that I paid but it wasn't as good of a value overall when comparing it to their normal monthly boxes.
