Hey guys! Can you believe that I’m posting my Boxycharm before the end of the month? I got my box pretty early this month so I had lots of time to test out the products and get this review up on time. Let’s get into the box!
The first item I got was the Beauty Bakerie Lemon Bar Face Palette. They call these shades ‘universal’ which I don’t know how they could be. The bronzer shade works perfectly for my skin tone, but the contour shade is just a touch too dark. I don’t mind the highlight shade but prefer something more peach than yellow for highlight. The quality of the powders is great though. I’ve received many Beauty Bakerie and I’ve always found the quality to be good. I do see myself using this palette again but I don’t see it becoming an holy grail. Price: $18
The next item I got was the JLo Beauty That Hit Single Gel Cream Cleanser. This cleanser is a gel-to-cream that is meant to remove impurities and makeup from the skin. I didn’t test the makeup-removing abilities but I found it was a fine second cleanser. It lathered well and left my skin feeling clean. My only complaint is that there is nothing *special* about this cleanser. If I’m going to be paying $50 for a cleanser, I would prefer it had some extra ingredients to help with my acne or skin texture or something. This is comparable to the Cerave cleanser which is half the price. So while I like the cleanser and will use it, I don’t think it’s worth the price. Price: $38 US ($50 CAD)
The first item I picked was the THISWORKS Stress Check Sleep Lotion. Wow, I love this lotion. It’s in a squeeze bottle which is easy to use. The lotion is hydrating and absorbs quickly into the skin. My favourite part is the scent. It’s a blend of lavender, chamomile, and patchouli oil. It’s calming but with a little something-something from the patchouli. I love this and I would recommend picking it up (it’s currently on sale!). Price: $15 US
The next item I picked was the MUDMASKY POREfection Serum-Infused Primer. Normally I don’t choose primers but I finished a few recently so I thought it would be fun to try a new one. This primer is meant to pore-minimize, mattify and blur the skin. I thought the primer was fine. I found the pore-minimizing to be minimal and didn’t notice any mattifying. I didn’t have any issues with the primer but I also didn’t notice a huge difference using it. I’m going to play around with it more. Price: $49 US
The final product I picked was the Too Faced Too Femme Heart Core Lipstick in Too Femme. It can be a gamble to pick lipstick because I don’t know what the shade is going to be like. The shade Too Femme is described as a medium nude pink and I do find it leans on the more cool-toned side. I don’t wear a lot of cool-tones but I also don’t own many cool-toned lipsticks so it’s nice to have at least one in my collection. The formula is very comfortable on the lips, with a glossy-creme finish. It was comfortable on the lips and wore nicely throughout the day. I can see myself picking this lipstick when I want a cool-toned shade. Price: $26 US, $34 CAD
The overall total value of the box was $146 US. I don’t think there were any bad products, just some that I liked more than others. Let me know what you guys think of the box in the comments!
