August 2015 BOXYCHARM : RECAP





Hi there, my darlings! This afternoon, let's continue with our recaps and take a look at August 2015's Boxycharm! For those of you who haven't heard of Boxycharm, it's a US-based monthly subscription service, where you receive 5-6 full-sized beauty products for $21!


August 2015's box has 5 full-size items and the theme was "Globetrotter". I think this may be my favorite Boxycharm so far cos it's packed full of my favorite things--makeup! so take a peek at what I received :




August's Boxycharm contained five full-size products, including an entire palette (!!!)--take a peek at what I received :




Nios Shield Leave-In Conditioner (priced at $26) : I don't use too many products when it comes to my hair but I love a good leave-in conditioner! I haven't had a chance to try this one out yet but judging by the whiff I took of it, I think I'm going to like it!




So Susan Statement Skin Highlighting Crayon (priced at $20) : Gold and brown skin are like a match made in heaven. So bring on the gold eyeliners, and eyeshadows, and highlighters! But, unfortunately, not ALL shades of gold looks good on brown skin--darker golds and white-golds can be tricky, This one, happily, is a great shade of gold--rich without being too brassy!




Mica Beauty Gel Eyeliner (priced at $35) : A great winged liner is kinda like a good red lip--it can instantly make you feel sexy. I've been lining my eyes, and hence practicing drawing perfect cat's eyes and wing tips, since I was a teenager. But, in all this time, I've never tried a gel eyeliner. And let me tell you, that's gotta change! I love the precision and control this gel liner gave me and I adore how truly jet black it is.


Seta Eyeliner Brush (priced at $16) : The tip of this brush is exactly how I like it--fine without being too wispy and not a bristle out of place. It's a pricey brush so I'm really glad it was included in my Boxxycharm!




Coastal Scents Revealed 3 palette (priced at $19.95) : Ok, I don't think I've EVER received an entire palette in a sub box before! And I've tried a whole ton of them! Trios, yes, quads even but not an entire palette! The Coastal Scents Revealed palette is a palette of 20 shades in pinks, neutrals and mauves. While I liked the feel and pigmentation of several of the colors, a few really didn't show up on my complexion. But that's pretty much the case with any palette--there's always going to be a couple shades that don't work for you! Final thoughts? Very impressed and kudos to the girls at Boxycharm!
