BOXYCHARM 

MARCH 2018

1.Make them blush by Pretty Vulgar in Hush blush.

I love the aesthetic of this brand, the idea is to have a vintage kind of style laced with cuteness with the little birdy logo. This is the second time the brand is appearing in boxycharm, the first being the metallic liquid lip sent in January’s box if im not wrong. Hush blush is in a nude rosey shade that i know will definitely find its way into my everyday blush. Very pigmented and easy to apply with a blush brush. 

2.Butter London Double decker mascara.

This might be the most huge mascara I’ve ever seen, with an exception to Dior’s diorshow XXL brush, this mascara takes the cake for a big ass tube/box/brush everything. But is the formula as good? Well its basically a black mascara with huge bristles that helps pack on the formula to your lashes, buildable and does not clump on each coat.

3.The vintage cosmetic company Smokey eye brush set.

Now i rarely do smokey eyes, but i can find great use for each of this brushes. They are full size and theres 3 different brushes;

-Shadow brush for packing colour on the lid all over.

-Angled shadow brush for blending the creaseline and outer v.

-Smudger brush for smudging out liner on the outer eye or under eye, or you could also use this to pack highlight under browbone.

Very handy set for travelling.

4.South mane eye gel pack 3pcs.

These are gel pads for the undereye aimed to reduce puffiness, reduce dark circles & moisturizes eye area. With a 4 week old baby in tow, i think i have eyebags to match the weight of my newborn child. Nada sleep at night and waking up far too early in the morning. I really do need to depuff my eye situation so these are really handy for emergency use!

5.Boxycharm X PÜR eyeshadow palette.

An eyeshadow palette that is not plain boring or bland and is also exclusive to boxycharm!! This palette contains 2 matte, 4 satin (with specks of shimmer), 6 metallic shades. There are also mixtures of neutral and bolder colours to play with. 

I did an eye look today to test the shadows and i was quite surprised at the good pigmentation it has. There are some shades that have fall outs when hand swatching and some shades that seems to be chalky (all shown in the swatch pic below) but overall they have good color payoff.

Not to mention the shadows picks up well on brushes too. (I used the vintage cosmetics brushes received in the box.)

Purfect(matte) is slightly chalky, Charmer(metallic) has fall outs from pan to swatch, Duet(satin) swatches nicely.

Nakey(matte) is slightly chalky, Alliance(metallic) has slight fall outs, MIA(metallic) swatches smoothly.

Belle(matte) slightly chalky, Bae(satin) slight fall outs, BFF(matte) slightly patchy when swatched.

Squad(satin) slight fall outs, ATL(metallic) slight fall outs but smooth formula, Boxy black(satin) very pigmented black with gold specks of shimmer.

This past few months i feel like Boxycharm has been the only beauty box to really hit the spot for me and its fun to receive full size rather than tiny sample sizes sometimes. This month’s box is an absolute wonder, i love everything in it! Its very rare for me to love everything as majority of the boxes has hair products which i loathe. Hopefully next month’s box is bigger and better to top off this month. 😁
