BOXYCHARM 

FEBRUARY 2018

GALAXY GLOW

So the difference in this month’s box is that you dont see the usual blush or eyeshadow palettes (unless you got the other variation which comes with the Naked cosmetics highlighter palette.) Honestly, im not a huge highlighting psycho and with all the highlighters I’ve been receiving lately I’m actually glad that I did not get that palette this time round.

1. Ofra Pop up palette mini ($19) & Blush godet refill($12).

I like this far better than getting the highlighter palete because I’ve never owned one of this magnetic customizable palettes before. And to make it better, it also comes with a Blush from Ofra cosmetics. This is the winter rose glow blush, really pretty warm rosey shade. Its magnetic hence just pop it in the palette and we are good to go! (Swatches below)

2. Cover fx shimmer veil in Amethyst ($28).

This is something new and different that i have yet to actually discover how to really make full use of it. When swatched, it has a really nice shimmery highlight pigmentation, but then it dries down. Cover fx says that this has multi use, mostly i see that its used on the eyelids, but can also be used as liner, highlighter and on the lips as well. Btw this is full size 4ml!! (Swatches below)

3. Crown pro trio brush set ($29.99).

This looks exactly like the wet n wild new brush roll 17pcs collection tho im not sure who came out first so 🤷🏻‍♀️. These are high grade synthetic fibers, small brush is good for concealer and spot control, medium is for foundation or face contour and the large brush is for setting powders. 

4. Vintage cosmetics Jet black smokey eye pencil ($21).

This looks like a normal black eyeliner pencil and seems a bit overpriced to be above $20, however the pencil is actually really smooth and creamy, very pigmented jet black and does not tug or pull or leave pathetic grey lines. Only gripe is that yes you have to sharpen it!! (Swatches below)

5. PÜR X-faux lips - plumping lip exfoliator ($17).

Infused with shea butter, raw sugar & exfoliating beads, this exfoliating crayon smells super delicious like a sweet treat and it also helps exfoliate, plump, hydrate & soothes.

The swatch does not look obvious but the sugar particles are really tiny and non abrasive at all! It does feel slightllllly sticky but of course you still have to wipe off after exfoliating so not a problem there. And on my last days of pregnancy, my lips are getting drier and drier by the second, so this will come in handy.

Swatches:

I love this month’s box! Really gave me a few useful products like the magnetic palette and also i love receiving brush sets from boxycharm too. And the full size highly sought after shimmer veil is really worth the value. 👍🏾 February’s box will really keep you glowing.
