Hey Guys,

Today I'm going to share my very first BoxyLuxe! 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. They also offer an upgraded box every quarter called BoxyLuxe. This is an additional $28.99 a quarter.  The theme for December was "Tis The Sea Sun".  I was pretty excited when I saw the first sneak peeks. I skipped on the September BoxyLuxe because the additional items that were in Luxe didn't interest me that month. However, I was really interested in the December box! Keep reading to see what I got and to hear my thoughts. Also, make sure to check out the discount codes below for the month!

BoxyLuxe December 2018 "Tis The Sea Sun"

Violet Voss Po HG Palette $45.00

I was really excited about this palette. I already own the Violet Voss x Laura Lee palette so I am familiar with the brand. The colors are ones I use on a regular basis. In terms of quality, this palette is a bit disappointing. The shadows aren't as pigmented as I hoped they would be. You have to build up the color a lot. They do blend nice though. I will keep playing around with it to see if it grows on me.

Here is a close up of the shadows:

Here are swatches of the shadows:

SUVA Beauty Protege Palette $34.00

I got to choose between this palette and a mini straightener. I have really long hair so the mini straighter really wasn't beneficial to me. I decided to choose this palette. I have never heard of the brand but the colors look really pretty! I love that there are both warm and cool shades as well as mattes, shimmers, and highlighters. If I wear any cool tones its usually purple/mauve colors like in this palette. After using this palette I am really impressed with the pigmentation, creaminess, and wear time of these shadows. They looked amazing and didn't crease at all!

Here are swatches of the shadows:

Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream $89.00

I have never tried any Elemis products but I hear great things. This product is $89.00 so it's crazy this was included in the box! I am excited to try this day cream out!

Spongelle Body Wash Infused Buffer $20.00

I have heard of this brand but never tried it. It's not too exciting but I am interested to see how I like it. I am sensitive to scented body washes etc so I hope my skin doesn't react badly. We will see. After using I am happy to report I didn't have any reaction. It smells nice and is a great buffing sponge!

Tarte Cosmetics Glitter Lip Paint in Insta-Famous $20.00

I'm a big fan of Tarte Cosmetics but not huge on glosses. I need to read reviews of this to decide if I'm going to keep it or not. I don't like sticky products so if its sticky I will save for a giveaway. It's still a pretty lip topper.

Grande Cosmetics GrandeMascara $25.00

I am familiar with Grande Cosmetics but have never tried their mascara. I am always willing to try new mascaras. I am looking forward to trying this.

Pretty Vulgar The Powder Room Translucent Setting Powder $32.00

People were hyping up this powder a lot from all the comments I read. After trying it, it is fine. I don't think its bad at all but I still prefer my Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder.

Luxie Rose Gold Complete Face Brush Set $65.00

I have recieved a good amount of Luxie brushes while being subscribed to BoxyCharm. They are one of my favorite brands of makeup brushes. I don't have this sets so I am excited to use these!

Crimes of Beauty Wristlet & Portable Charger $20.00

This is a very useful little set. The wristlet is a good size and is a good makeup bag for my purse. The charger is light weight and has multiple connections which is nice. However, it makes a questionable buzzing sound when using it with your phone. 

TOTAL VALUE: $350.00
