My March 2018 Boxycharm has arrived and it has a total value of $115.15. That's a total savings of $94! Value is one of the primary reasons I continue to subscribe to Boxycharm. At first, when I saw the spoiler I was a bit disappointed in the quality of these products. Some of those disappointments were valid, and some were not. Read more to find out what caught me off guard with it's quality, and what fell flat. Also, make sure you check out Part 1 of this blog to read my reaction to the spoilers! Boxycharm is a beauty subscription service that sends a box of beauty items worth over $100.00, for only $21.00 a month. Each box contains 4 to 5 full-sized beauty products from well-known, popular, chic, and up-and-coming brands. Boxycharm only sends out full size products, and each box always has a great value. BOXYCHARM X PUR COSMETICS PALETTE - $36.00First up is the Boxycharm X Pur Eyeshadow Palette! This isn't my first rodeo with Pur eyeshadow palettes. As you can see in my Was it Worth It: Pur My Little Pony Eyeshadow Palette and Subscription Box Hits and Misses: Pur Soiree Diaries Eyeshadow Palette blog posts, I haven't always been the biggest fan of Pur eyeshadow. This one, however, did not disappoint! When I did the swatches I figured they wouldn't look as good on my eyes. Well, I was very wrong. I have used this palette a few times and it is phenomenal. The color selection and shades are very well pigmented and blend very smoothly. I will write a separate Subscription Box Hits and Misses post that goes into more detail, so I won't give away too many spoilers now. I would suggest picking up this limited edition palette, if you do not already have a Boxycharm Subscription, because it is definitely worth it! BUTTER LONDON DOUBLE DECKER MASCARA -$20.00Next up is the Double Decker Mascara by Butter London. I don't want to bad mouth this mascara until I know whether I received a dried out bottle or if it is simply clumpy and terrible. As soon as I opened it I thought it didn't look right and took a picture. Against my better judgement, I decided to try it anyway. It turned my poor lashes into a giant clump of gross. I read a few other reviews that didn't have the same issue as me so I might reach out to Boxycharm. Did anyone else get this mascara? What was your experience with it? SOUTH MANE 3 EYE GEL PACKS - $9.00Another Fail in my March 2018 Boxycharm is South Mane's Eye Gel Packs. They simply didn't work. In it's defense - it does say for best results to use 3 consecutive nights in a row. I am not all about that life. I need your shit to work the first time, at least a little, for me to continue using it. They also kept falling off, even when I was sitting pretty much completely still. I'm not impressed. THE VINTAGE Cosmetic COMPANY SMOKEY EYE BRUSH SET - $23.15Finally, this next item in my box definitely did not disappoint! I was pleasantly surprised with the Vintage Cosmetic Company's Smokey Eye Brush Set. I didn't have high hopes for them from the spoilers, but when used them with the Eyeshadow Palette we got, they held onto color great! They also applied nice and smooth and blended with ease. The synthetic brushes are super soft which aids in their stellar blending capabilities. These eyeshadow brushes are going to end up in my regular rotation as they are absolutely fantastic.
