Hello to all of you beautiful nerds and welcome back from traveling the vast nerd universe! My first subscription of the month arrived!

BoxyCharm January 2021

So, new year and first box of that new year and this is BoxyCharm. This year I am giving this box a few more months after seeing leftovers from Ipsy with a few items and debating on cancelling. I saw my card and it’s not too bad, I would say it’s better. This box is the base box which will cost $25 a month and you tend to get more luxury and higher end brands. Let’s see what I got shall we?

Ciate London Velvet Shadow Pallet: First up is a product by Ciate London and not too mad about this. I have been into this brand all thanks to trying out lip products by them in Ipsy and then started getting a few things in this box from them. This pallet has a mix of metallics and mattes to create many looks. The formula of this pallet is a velvety feel that it gives a soft feel. I have to try this shadow pallet since it’s my first pallet from these guys. I have tried some of their face and lip products so it’s now time for eyes! This retails for $30.

Farmacy Daily Greens Oil Moisturizer: Next up is a product from Farmacy and it’s their Greens Oil Moisturizer. I have enjoyed their make up remover and glad to get this since it gives me a chance to try more things by these guys. This is an oil and silicon free daily moisturizer that brings lasting moisture to the skin. This contains Fida nutrients hyaluronic acid. That catches my ears since I have been enjoying skin care with hyaluronic acid. Even though I have so many moisturizers at the moment but don’t mind getting another for the day. Let’s see how this one goes! This retails for $38.

Ace Beaute Bronzed in Paradise Pallet: Next up is from Ace Beaute and it’s the item I chose. I remembered this was in a past box but I didn’t get it so I wanted to try out something from them that is face related and glad to choose this since I do tend to use bronzer to contour around my cheeks. This is a part of their Paradise Collection that came out last year and I guess they had some leftover pallets and couldn’t sell them in their shop so they gave it out as a choice item and glad I did select this one. This features four bronzers in this pallet and they help in giving a Sunkissed look. I will have to see how well these work on my skin. This retails for $30.

Dr. Brandt Do Not Age Eye Cream: Next is a product from Dr. Brandt and glad to get this since the price is so high that I gasped. This is a peptide enriched eye cream that helps with signs of aging around the eyes for refreshed younger looking eyes. I do use eye creams as a base for my concealer and it does help with any under eye circles I may have since I do wake up early for work and hoping this does keep my concealer on too. This retails for $85, yes, I know! That’s expensive!

Bali Balm Sweet Orange & Coconut Lip Balm: Final item is from Bali Balm which is a brand I never heard of. I have noticed that boxyCharm has been giving out lip balms which is very important in my routine when putting on lip products since my lips do dry underneath what I wear. This lip balm includes sweet orange and coconut oils to help moisturize the lips and I have just put it on and it feels very conditioning. I have to keep on using this since I have tried so many lip balms from my boxes and they have worked out very well. This retails for $33.

Well guys this box was a lot better than last month’s box! I feel like this had better items and a better start to 2021. I did choose another Ace Beaute item for next month but glad to try out a bronzing pallet and it will take a bit to get to the eye cream and moisturizer since this would help with concealer and my face with my moisturizer. Now hoping next month’s bag will not cause the unsubscribing. Let’s see how long it will take for the other subscriptions!
