I decided to try the June box because the service had been getting so much buzz and all of the past boxes I saw reviewed were really great. I certainly was not disappointed with what BoxyCharm had to offer for this month!
The box's theme was "Bridal Beauty," since June is a popular wedding month. They included five full-sized products to help any woman, bride-to-be or otherwise, feel beautiful. I was so impressed by the fact that they sent all full-sized items!
- tarte cheek stain in Blushing Bride ($30) - This 12-hour cheek stain is a shimmery pink tone that would be flattering on a lot of skin tones. I don't use a lot of cream/stain blushes, but now that the weather is getting warmer I know a lot of people prefer this formula over powder, so I'm excited to give it a try.
- STRANGEBEAUTIFUL Nail Lacquer ($18) - Each bottle contains 8 ml of polish and the informational card for the box says they are "highly pigmented and super saturated." I'm going to give the gold shade a try tonight when I paint my nails.
- Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream HyperLiner ($15) - I'm not sure if everyone received the same shade, but mine was a blue called "Cute Robot." The formula is water-resistant and highly pigmented. I don't really wear eyeliner at all, but the blue shade is fun to have for the summer.
- Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream HyperLight ($22) - This under-eye brightener has a brush applicator and can also be used along the cheekbones (or anywhere else you want to highlight, I suppose). I haven't tried it yet, but I don't own any under-eye products so I will be putting it to good use.
- Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara ($7.99) - This is the only product I'm not thrilled with--I have a ton of mascaras to use up and Revlon is not a brand I usually buy. The product itself seems interesting, though, because it's one of those fiber mascaras.
Bottom Line: This box cost me $21 and had a value of $92.99! I'd say that's a pretty great deal. I'm excited to use all but one of the products, and I love that they were all full-sized. I am incredibly impressed with BoxyCharm and I can't wait to see what they send for future months!

You know, it seems like BoxyCharm has improved a lot since they started! This box (and some of the other recent ones I've seen) seem GREAT! Also, "Cute Robot" is a hilarious name for an eyeliner. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been really impressed by BoxyCharm lately, seems like one of the better valued beauty boxes around.
DeleteI love the "Cute Robot" name!
This was a terrific box - I love the blue nail polish and the tarte cheek stain. I just received some Tarina Tarantino blush from Wantable last month and was totally impressed!!
ReplyDeleteI agree! This was one of my favorite makeup boxes I've ever gotten.
DeleteWow! This looks great! I also have thought it was a jewelry box and not really considered it :) Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI think you'd really like it! I've only tried this one box, but like I said, all of the other boxes looked really good too.
