BOXYCHARM 

JANUARY 2018

How else would you rock 2018’s socks off other than with these babies that Boxycharm has sent for January’s box!! These are the perf ingredients for rocking a gig or concert and starting the year with a bang (or maybe you’re more of a club gal, whatever rocks your boat. 😉)

1.PÜR Bronze & Brighten palette.

The dreamer cheek palette consisting of 3 shades inside. Blushing glow, afterglow & mineral glow. Blushing glow is a coral shimmering shade for the blush and is super pigmented and bright, kindly use a light hand when tapping into this one. Afterglow, a highlight shade that will flatter all skin tone regardless of shade. And mineral glow, a dark brown bronzer, this one is a bit too dark for my liking as I’d prefer my bronzers to be a lighter milky chocolate shade otherwise if its too dark it gets muddy easily. 

2.Girlactik Beauty Matte lip paint in Demure.

This shade is described as a rosy terracotta. As soon as i swatched it, I realised it looks very similar to (colourpop ultra satin frick n frack) It was my favourite go to shade for work and everyday wear as the mid shade works well for a natural look without making you look like a corpse. This lipstick also has a vanilla cupcake scent to it. Unlike Frick & Frack’s formula, Demure has a creamy texture and dries matte after. (Swatch below)

3.It cosmetics brow power in Universal taupe.

Universal taupe is a greyish brown that supposedly will suit most hair/skin color to match the brow. The formula of the product is not the best and is difficult to get a decent swatch. On swiping the first few lines, nothing comes off the stick, and it needs more pressure to appear. This causes chalkiness and fall outs as seen on the swatch, it’s also patchy and inconsistent. 

Imagine pressing too hard or going over your brow multiple times with pressure just to draw a line. I wouldn’t recommend nor repurchase this because there are other softer and pigmented brow sticks that are far cheaper than this product and works better. (Swatch below)

4.Dr brandt Pores no more Luminizer primer.

I am beginning to love Dr brandt’s products from their skincare to makeup. This luminizer primer is in a shimmering beige nude colour, blends like a dream and does not have a very thick silicone texture like most primers do (silicon breaks me out). The shimmer reflects light and makes your skin appear luminous, and my makeup application always apply smoother with this primer underneath. 

5.Glam metals Palette by Crown Pro.

If you’re looking for a palette to rock on to a concert, this might be it! (Don’t forget the eyeliner tho) There are 9 shades inside and only one is matte while the rest are metallics and satins. 

First row: 

-Punk is a metallic silver grey.

-Wild thing is a satin warm brown.

-Black metal is a matte black. (Not very pigmented, but buildable for a smokey eye.)

Second row:

-Rock on is a dark metallic gold.

-Rebel is a bright metallic copper.

-Heavy metal is a metallic gun mental grey.

Third row:

-The wicked is a satin plummy brown.

-Glam rock is a metallic bronze.

-Pop rock is a metallic liquid white gold.

This month’s box is definitely gonna help you rock the year, it basically has everything for a full face with the exception of a foundation/powder shade and of course EYELINER. They totally forgot that, what’s more rock n rolla than eyeliner/guyliner?! 🤭
