April 2017 Boxycharm First Look
I always look forward to getting my subscription boxes, but I have to admit, Boxycharm is my favorite box. Every time I receive a box it has been worth every penny and then some. If you want, this is my referral link. When you refer a friend you receive 500 points. You also receive points just for getting a box delivered!
For $21.00 a month you get four to five full size products. The points earned take off money in the store. The store isn't as extensive as Birchbox, but it's still pretty good. 1000 points will take off $10.00, 2000 takes off $20.00, and so on. It also contains a card that lists the prices and information on the products you receive.
The theme for this month was Boho Glow. I love the card and how it has a little dream catcher on it.

After years of matte lips, my lips are putting up a fight and I've been wearing more glosses lately. So, I wasn't sad that we got a gloss. The Cargo Cosmetics Essential Lip Gloss in Umbria is a golden color that will look pretty with a tan. It has a decent scent but the flavor is pure oil. The bottle feels cheap, but I don't care too much about that. The applicator is flexible but it felt almost flimsy, rather than being something special. It does feel quite comfortable on the lips and didn't feel too sticky. It does contain castor oil, which isn't good for pets and I'd imagine keeping it away from small children would be a good idea as well. It is gluten and paraben free. It is $16.00 for 2.5 ml and the full size was in the box.

The last item was Measurable Difference's Diamond Collection 16 Shade Concealer Palette. It is a fairly decent range of shades. I'm not sure it will work for the very dark or very fair though. It is on the drier side, which will work well for blemishes. Although, I would have put in a green toned shade to mix if that that were the purpose. As it is a little dry, it may work best to mix with and oil or moisturizer to loosen it up to use for cream contouring. I'm not sure I would put this under my eyes, but I may try it when I don't have to leave the house to see how it goes. It is full size and each shade is 2 grams of product. It's $20.00 on the website.
I think this box was pretty solid. There isn't anything I don't want to try. It wasn't a box that made me go gaga, but I liked it. It had a value of $117.00.
* I pay for my own boxes. All of my links go straight to the company and do not have a pay site stop over.
