Hello to all of my beautiful nerds and welcome back from traveling the vast nerd universe! I am back with another subscription! BoxyCharm January 2020!
A new year a new BoxyCharm has arrived! I was kind of mad last month because they didn’t email me about choosing a product but I was glad I got the one I wanted and will explain in a bit. This box, the base one, is $25. If you’re subscribed you can get one of the other two levels which are Premium and Lux which Premium is $35 and Lux is $49 I believe and Lux is quarterly. I just stick with the base due to how I get the same products as before. Let’s dive right in!
Too Faced Diamond Light Highlighter: First is a product from Too Faced Cosmetics and it’s their Diamond Light Highlighter. This looks like a diamond in a box since the powder is shaped like one. You get one of three colors and the one I got is in Canary Diamond. This product has diamond powder and pearls to give off a pink glow that anyone can see. I hope this is pigmented since there are times where I hear pigmentation can be hit or miss with Too Faced so let’s see what happens. This item values for $36.
Ace Beauty Eye Shadow Pallet in Vintage Sunrise: Next is something I was hoping to choose but got and it’s the Vintage Sunrise pallet from Ace Beauty. I was so mad that BoxyCharm didn’t alert me about Choice for this month’s box which this is what I would choose for myself. I did email them about the issue and they said will fix it no problem and well this month no email but I did go onto their website and chose my February box. Alongside this pallet you could also have chosen the Scarlet Dusk pallet which this is a sequel to that pallet and that has more red shades while this one has more of a sunrise scheme. This features twelve the colors are very well pressed and milled to help with easy pay off. I have heard good things about this brand and how pigmented these shadows are and I also hear they are pretty pricey too so who knows what this pallet will bring. Value is $34.99.
Wonder Beauty Trip for Two Bronzer and Blush Duo: Next is a duo from Wonder Beauty and glad to get this in my box too. It features a blush and a bronzer which you get a variation in shades, not sure what I got, these are supposed to give a slight warmth with the bronzer and a slight and soft blush with the other. These are also made with lotus flower and sea buckthorn seed extract to help with skin benefits. I will be heading for a party this weekend so hoping those claims are true. Retail price is $36 which is pretty hefty of a price.
Advant Skin Care Eighteen Hour Radiant Sleeping Mask: Next is a sleeping face mask from Advant Skin Care. In this box you would get this or the Glow Recipe but got the one from Advant instead. I’m not too mad about it since I was getting one of them anyways. This helps rejuvenate the skin by tightening the skin from wrinkles and fine lines. I do have one line around where my glasses settle and hoping this helps but hoping it does moisturize my face since I do love my skin being soft and smooth by the morning or it can break me out if my skin hates it. Anyways, value is $107! WTF!? That is so expensive that my wallet is crying! So glad I got in the box!
Mana Kadar Lip Whip: Final item is an item from Mana Kadar and it’s a lip gloss. I do enjoy this brand since I have gotten their items through Ipsy for the most part and was surprised to see them appear here. This item is a lightly whipped product with long-lasting staying power. I hope so since there are times when my lip gloss does wear off while eating. Retail price is $21.
Let’s see this box values at $235! Dang! That is a lot for what I get in this box! Basically I can create an entire look with this box since I can wear the mask to sleep with and create a nice eye look, add the highlighter, bronzer, and blush and use the lip gloss on top of it and you’re out the door! I would say it’s a good start for this year since BoxyCharm did vamp up the box to make it that you get more items even bigger items so can’t wait for February’s box! Also, I will leave links to these items so you can see for yourself what they are!
That is it for this post! Next time is a review on a newer Mimi Jean Pamfiloff book while my Glam Bag is on its way!
