Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyCharm for May! 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 May was "Make Waves". The Alamar Cosmetics Colorete Blush Trio immediately caught my eye when I saw the first spoilers. 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!
Almar Cosmetics Colorete Blush Trio in Fair/Light $22.00
I was so pumped when I saw that I got this variation in my box! It was also the correct color palette for my skintone. This palette comes with 3 shadows. Castaway is an orange creamsicle color and Scorcher is a pinkish/peach with gold. They are both warm blushes and are shimmery (but not glittery). Paraiso is more of a mauve tone and is a satin finish. I reach for Paraiso the most but overall I love this palette. I want to get the medium toned palette for the summer!
Dose of Colors Matte Liquid Lipstick in Lazy Daisy $18.00
I love this color! It's a dusty mauve/taupe and perfect to wear with cool toned shadows. It smells like vanilla, is super pigmented, and long lasting. It's not overly drying either. I really want to pick up more DOC liquid lipsticks after trying this!
I haven't tried this brand and liners don't normally excite me. However, this is an emerald green color and I have nothing like this in my collection. I may try to use with on my waterline.
This shadow is so breathtaking in person. I had a little bit of issues applying it and trying to build up the color. However, it could be because I rarely use cream shadows. I think letting each layer dry before adding more might be the best way to apply this.
I haven't tried this cleanser but I know that Glam Glow is a beauty cult favorite. I will definitely be using this cleanser once I run out of my current one.
TOTAL VALUE: $104.00

Overall, this was one of my favorite boxes in quite a while. I was happy with every item that I got in my box. I LOVE the Dose of Colors liquid lipstick and the Alamar Cosmetics blush palette. I have been wearing both all month. The Ciate London Eye Luster is gorgeous! It looks even prettier in person. I will definitely use the Glam Glow cleanser once I run out of my current cleanser. Lastly, the Bodyography Eye Liner isn't something I will use often but it is unique to my collection. I would definitely say that this box was a success and totally worth it. I'm honestly not thrilled about what I've seen in the BoxyLuxe box this month but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised once I get it and try everything out.
