Yeah!! My BoxyCharm has
arrived for the month of February, and I am hoping for some lovely items that
will work great for those dressed up date nights and those movie weekend spa
nights. BoxyCharm is a monthly subscription box that delivers at least four (but
usually five) full size beauty products ranging from hair, skin, nails, and
makeup. The boxes are curated based on a monthly theme and costs $21 each. They
always have a value over $100, which surprises me every single time. I do love
my fall subscription boxes, but a close second are Valentine’s Day boxes, so I
have high hopes, and I can’t wait to see what is in store for me this time.
This month’s theme is “Would
You Be My Galentine?” I freaking love Galentine’s Day, because it is important
to let your favorite girls that you love them, just as much as you love your
significant other. Made famous by Leslie Knope, this holiday is celebrated the
day before Valentine’s Day, and I plan on spending it with my girlfriends
watching chick flicks while painting our nails and doing face masks. Because of
that, I am hoping for a cute nail polish, preferably pink, and maybe a face
mask or two. They do send both of those items once in a while, so it isn’t a
stretch. We will see.
$79.00 -2 oz
OMG! You guys. This is a full
size Dr. Brandt product, which are so expensive, and this product alone with
worth almost four times the cost of the box. This exfoliator promises to refine
the look of your skin’s texture and soften imperfections for a clearer,
smoother, brighter, and more radiant complexion. With ingredients like lactic
acid and oxide crystals, this product will gently whisk away dead skin cells.
It will also diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Brandt
products always promise to transform your skin, but the samples I’ve received
in the past just aren’t large enough to notice a large difference. I am so
stoked about this product, and I can’t wait to see some major improvements in
my skin tone and texture. I wouldn’t mind watching those wrinkles disappear as
well. This is a great start to this month’s box, and I will definitely use
every last drop of this product.
$6.00 each

We’ve received Makeup Geek
eyeshadow pans before, and since they’ve also sent us a magnetic palette, I am
excited to fill it up. Makeup Geek is a recent fan favorite, and I understand
why. The pigmentation is great, there isn’t fallout, and their colors are
always on trend. These colors are unfortunately pretty basic. This taupe is
something I have in a million palettes, and the rose is another color that is
everywhere, and a color that I wouldn’t normally draw towards. I love receiving
this single pans to fill up my palettes anyway I’d like, but I am a little
unimpressed with these colors. Maybe I will be able to swap them out with some
of my girlfriends. That being said, I think these colors work great with the
theme.
$14.00
Well, look at this. I was just
talking about how nice it was for BoxyCharm to previously send us a magnetic
palette, and here is yet another to fill up. This magnetic palette is
definitely smaller than the first, but it is much more sturdy, and both of
those things make this great for travel. I am also a fan of the design. It
looks like they took Z palette and BoxyCharms signature look and blended these
together. Now that I have two magnetic palettes, I am excited to organize my
colors a little better, but also probably purchase a few more. This will not be
the best for my bank account. Also, that heart goes perfectly with the
valentine’s theme.
$29.98
BoxyCharm sends us many tools
and brushes along with the beauty products, which I really love, but I swear, I
have so many eyeshadow brushes, I will never be able to use them all. This eye
duo contains an allover eye brush with a very small detail brush. I think this
duo is very practical, and you could really do an entire makeup look with these
two brushes. They are both high quality, and the colors are fun and make them
feel like they are expensive. Also, the bristles are soft and full. I may just
put these in the front of my rotation, because I like them so much, but I’d
really like if BoxyCharm mixed it up a little in the future. I will definitely
be pulling this out with my girlfriends this Galentine’s Day.
$18.00 - 0.12 oz
I absolutely insist on having
a moisturizing formula in my lip products, as my lips are always dry, and I cannot
put color over cracked lips. This lipstick is super moisturizing, and I love
putting it on my lips. I am not sold on this color, though. It is really
pretty, but it pretty bold at the same time. I always try for a more natural
look, so I am going to have to be brave to wear this. I could see how this
would be an ideal color to wear for Galentine’s Day date night with your girls,
or even with your man for the romantic holiday. I have never heard of this
brand before, but I am a big fan already, and I would love to try out other
products from their line. This is also a great color for a dark lip during
these late winter months.
Overall, I am pretty happy
with this box. That exfoliator brings up the value so much, and is a fan
favorite, so I am happy to have a bottle of my own. Besides that product, these
didn’t fit my personal Galentine’s Day, but I will definitely be using these
products every other day this year. I really like those eyeshadows, and that
magnetic palette will be the perfect place to store them and my others I
already have. The lip color is nice as well, but I don’t know if it will be the
first color I reach for out of a collection. The eye kit brush duo is something
I am half excited for. I do not have a detail brush like that, but I have so
many of the other eyeshadow brush. This month’s box has a value of $152.98. I always
amazed at how they can put so much value in such an affordable box, but they do
it month after month.
