This was the item I chose for my box. I wasn't wowed by any of the other choice options so I went with this bronzer. I wouldn't have chosen it had I known that the Too Faced Natural Matte Palette would be sent to people that didn't chose this in their box. I think when they do stuff like that it is really unfair. That being said, this is a nice bronzer. It's very pigmented and smells yummy. I don't mind the shimmers as it gives a nice glow to the skin.
Tarte Sugar Rush - Best Bud Lip Butter Balm $12.00
Lip balms don't excite me at all but I do love Tarte and their Sugar Rush brand seems nice from what I have tried. I don't love that you have to put your finger in this product to use it but it does smell pretty good. I will most likely keep it and try it out when I use up my current lip balms.
Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara $29.00
I do like getting mascaras in my subscription boxes because I wear it almost everyday. I like trying different types and brands since I am so picky when it comes to mascara. That being said, I am not impressed by getting this brand in my box. Many Kevyn Aucoin products are found at Tj Maxx and they are usually really cheap. This wand looks interesting so I will keep it and try it out at some point.
Milk Makeup Glow Oil Lip + Cheek in Astro $15.00
From what I have tried I am just not a fan of Milk Makeup. I don't like cream or stick type products which is alot of what they offer. I don't like lip oils either so I will be passing this on or saving it for a giveaway.
I am not familiar with this brand and I really don't need another serum in my stockpile. I have said this so many times in my reviews. I just get way too much unwanted skincare in my BoxyCharm boxes. I have such an abundance of skincare already and it takes me months to use up a serum like this. Not sure if I am going to save this and use it in the future or put it in a giveaway.
Battington Beauty Battington Powder and Contour Brush Set $90.00
Hey Guys,
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on my BoxyCharm Premium for April! 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 $25.00 a month and usually has a theme. You are now able to pick one item in your box each month but it is more of a this item or that. Not any item in your box. BoxyCharm Premium is their second subscription offering which is $35.00 a month and you get 6-7 full sized products. You are able to pick one item from your box. Lastly, they also offer an upgraded box every quarter called BoxyLuxe. This is an additional $28.99 a quarter. I am only currently subscribed to BoxyCharm Premium. The theme for this month was Boxy Vibing or Spring into Boxy. I think there was a bit of confusion on the theme this month as it may have changed. 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!
BoxyCharm Premium May 2020 "Mother Nature"
Tarte Sugar Rush - Best Bud Lip Butter Balm $12.00
Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara $29.00
Milk Makeup Glow Oil Lip + Cheek in Astro $15.00
Pureheal's Centella 90 Ampoule Serum $28.00
Battington Beauty Battington Powder and Contour Brush Set $90.00
I am honestly so sick of getting brushes in my box. I have so many and they just continually send them. These don't interest me that much but I will probably save them and use them at some point since they feel soft and decent quality. That being said, the price of these brushes is an absolute joke. I would never in a million years spend $90.00 on two brushes. I feel like BoxyCharm puts insanely priced items in the box just to seem like the value is higher.
TOTAL VALUE: $204.00
MAY PROMOTIONS
5/1/20-6/8/20
Overall, I was not impressed with this box whatsoever. I feel like BoxyCharm hasn't been putting good products in the Premium boxes and the base box has been alot better lately. I also feel like they feature ridiculous priced products in the Premium box just to make it seem like the value is higher. Of the 3 months I have had Premium, I am just not feeling this box. The Fenty Beauty box was the only one that I think was somewhat exciting and I don't even use any of the products from that box. I feel like most products that I am getting in BoxyCharm now a days are ending up sitting in my makeup bin or in my closet for a giveaway. I am wasting my money on products I won't use. I hate that you can't skip a month with BoxyCharm and that they don't pay attention to your beauty quiz or product reviews at all. I am pretty sure I am going to cancel BoxyCharm and just keep my Ipsy Glam Bag Plus subscription since its the far better option of the two.
