Once again, I’m so happy that I made a switch from ipsy to Boxy charm!  The boxes are more expensive, Boxycharm is $21/month/box instead of $10/ month/bag.  Boxy Charm has 5 full-sized products instead of 5 sample sized.

October’s theme is Spellbound.  I love that they include a card with the product’s info and pricing on it.

Here is what I got in my third box: (I’m going to write about what I got in my box from my least to most favorite…)

Originally, I was only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months,  I have loved everything so much so far that I signed on for another three months… No one is surprised I’m sure.

Do you get BoxyCharm?  Did you get something different than I did? Do you get any other monthly subscription bags/boxes that are worth trying out? Let me know in the comments below.

This month’s box contains 6 products, 5 full sized and one deluxe sample sized.

Here is what I got in my second box:

(I’m going to write about what I got in my box from my least to most favorite…)
ULTRA SATIN LIP by Colourpop $6.00

High pigmentation and a satin-matte finish in liquid lipstick form to keep your lips soft and comfy all day long. 
#BoxyTip: Start with freshly exfoliated lips to achieve the smoothest application! Then, line your lips with a matching pencil; this will help you achieve the perfect finished look and give the appearance of fuller lips. Next, apply your Ultra Satin Lip in a thin layer for most comfortable wear.I was really excited to try out this shade is beautiful, and out of the 4 shades being offered, it is probably the shade that I would have picked out for myself if given the choice. That being said… it goes on beautifully and feels comfortable on the lips, but it does not wear off gracefully!  Instead of looking like a pink nude with purple undertones,  it looks like a bright magenta.  It went from being super cute to scary!  I tried to wipe it off without any luck.  My lips were stained this bright fuchsia color from almost 2 days.

MAC Cosmetics Eyebrow Pencil (in the shades spiked or lingering) $18.00

FACE PERFECTING BRUSH by bareMinerals $28.00

This patented makeup brush lets you adjust your foundation coverage by the drop for a perfectly seamless foundation application. 
#BoxyTip: Apply your favorite foundation into the fluid reservoir of the brush. Bu the foundation onto your skin in a swirling, circular motion, starting on the outside of your face near your cheekbones, working your way to the forehead, cheeks, and nose.

I generally apply my foundation with a beauty sponge, so I wasn’t overly excited to receive this brush. Turns out though the more I use this brush the more I like it.  It is super soft and densely packed. It has a little indentation in the center for placing the product in.  At first, I didn’t really like this, but I have found that if I press a bit harder it gets the job done nicely.  I still finish off my application with a damp beauty sponge, but that is just because personally, I prefer a more natural foundation application

Briogeo Don’t Despair Repair 2 oz (Delux sample size) $20.00

Full Size is 8 oz and costs $36.00

A restorative and hydrating conditioner to replenish moisture, repair damage, and protect against future breakage and color fade.  This conditioner is infused with Briogeo’s signature blend of ultra-nourishing rosehip, argan, and coconut oils to effectively restore the silky sheen to dry, brittle, lackluster locks. Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft to nourish and repair from the inside out, sealing the uplifted cuticle to help lock in moisture and reduce environmental impurities. Argan oil provides extensive conditioning to restore luster and diminish frizz, while the antioxidant-rich rosehip oil helps shield strands from UV and free-radical damage.

Studio Makeup Luminous Loose Blush $35.00

PUR Cosmetics Soiree Diaries Eyeshadow Palette – Value $34

This essential palette is filled with highly pigmented and silky smooth shadows. 
#BoxyTip: Use the colors in the vertical rows, from top to bottom, to add highlight, definition, and drama.

Up until now, I had never swatched or used any eyeshadows from Pur Cosmetics, so I didn’t know what to expect. Wow, this palette really surprised me!

The shadows are so soft, smooth and velvetey.  These shades are my jam!  I love the selection of transition shades, defining shades and those sparkling shimmer shades are what makes me love makeup so much!  I have been wearing this palette every day since I recieved it and I am in love!

Originally I was only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months, which would mean that I only have one month left…  We’ll see how things go next month…because the first two boxes have been awesome, I have a feeling that I will be wanting to continue my subscription past the three months.

As you may recall, I subscribed to Ipsy for over two years.  (How could you not recall since I wrote about my glam bags every month 😉)  I really looked forward to trying out the samples and loved getting my pink shiny envelope in the mail each month.

After a lot of going back and forth, I decided that I wanted to move on to something different.  And boxy charm it is!

Here is what I got in my first box:

(I’m going to write about what I got in my box from my least to most favorite…)

Waterproof Gel Eyeliner by Bellapierre $15.00

Creamy, waterproof eyeliner for true definition that lasts all day. The liner glides on smoothly, and is formulated with pure minerals, natural waxes, and antioxidants-making them hypoallergenic and safe for all skin types.

You know how I feel about receiving black eyeliners in these boxes…That being said, this liner is just ok.  Kinda stiff and waxy instead of smooth and creamy.  At $15, that is a huge no thanks from me.

Face Paint by Aloette $35.00

Aloette’s Face Paint point is enriched with Jojoba esthers, vitamin E, and other essential oils that will heal and nourish the skin while providing long-lasting, dewy color to the cheeks and lips. 

This is a really beautiful shade, but I’ve never really enjoyed cream blush products.  Probably because I am just not good at applying them…I’ve worn it on my lips a few times, but don’t really love the shade on my lips.  I may pass it along to someone else who might use it.

Pro Eyelashes by PÜR The Complexion Authority $14.00

PÜR’s 3D lashes are handcrafted with the finest luxury silk to provide ultra-lightweight, natural-looking, fuller lashes. These cruelty-free lashes are durable, reusable, and safe for contact wearers. 

These lashes are beautiful.  Personally, I don’t ever wear false lashes, and I don’t own any lash glue…so I can’t actually apply these.  But none the less, they are gorgeous.

Rainforest Of The Sea: Volume II by Tarte $36.00

Crease-free eyeshadow palette with the best-selling creamy powder formula in eight, cool-toned shades.

While these shadows are gorgeous, they are definitely not for a beginner.  They have a strange creamy texture.  While perfect for the lid, they don’t really blend well in the crease. I have found that applying each shade using my fingertips makes the shadows apply much better.  The golden shade is gorgeous as an over the entire lid shade.

MODA Pro 3-Piece Brush Set by Royal & Langnickel $26.00

This MODA Pro 3-piece brush set, features a pointed blush, chisel blender, and a crease brush. These brushes will achieve endless looks and can be used with both wet and dry products. 

I have used these brushes every day since receiving them. I’ve been using the largest one to apply bronzer and powder. With a unique curve design, this flat dense brush can be used to apply highlight, but I have been using it to contour my cheekbones. The thin one is my new favorite crease brush.  It is so soft and versatile.

For now, I am only planning on getting Boxy Charm for three months.  We’ll see how things go because the first box I got is awesome, I may be wanting to continue my subscription past the three months.
