Boxycharm Bold & Beautiful May 2015

BoxyCharm May 2015

Theme is Bold & Beautiful

Boxycharm is becoming one of my favorite subscription and this box is just one example of why. So lets dig in and see what they had to offer this month! :)

First item I want to get into is the full size Modelco Bronze Shimmer. At $22, for this item this alone, it pays for the box and it is beautiful! I have yet to be dissapointed by Modelco. This bronzer had a nice shimmer to it that actually does not look too glittery. It's very pigmented, and because of the shimmer, I like it on my cheeks and not as a contour. I have mostly matte bronzers, so, this is a great addition on my collection of bronzers.

OMG, The Lip Bar Lipstick! This lipstick is beautiful! The packaging is gorgeous and the color is stunning. The minute I swatched it I thought of the Laqa&Co Lip Lube I received from Birchbox, which is one of my favorite summer colors! This lipstick totally made the box for me! It's vibrant, creamy, hydrating and the color seams to be lasting. This retails for $20! I still don't know how Boxycharm does it!  

Below we have the Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish and my, sloppy, swatch of the shade Sunset BLVD.  LOL I love new nail polishes and I've been wanting to try different brands. I don't know about actually paying $18 for one nail polish though. The color is beautiful and it's pigmented (below is one quick thin coat). I feel like you could get away with just one coat of this polish but two would look amazing. 

Lastly is, the Bodyography Essential Brow Trio and the Brow Brush. Ok so, I may be a little harsh in this review. I'll start by saying it's an okay set up, BUT, I don't think this is worth $38, which is what it costs if you were to buy both items. The brow trio comes with 3 shades (sorry red heads you lost out on this one).  When applied with the brush, it goes on very pigmented but can get a little messy looking. I think using this with a brow gel or a brow wax might make it look better. The brush itself is only ok. The spoolie is a bit on the large side, so I don't think it's great for use on the brows, maybe just eyelashes. The angled brush, at the other end, is kind of thin and flimsy feeling. Now, FYI, I am comparing to my ABH brow brush, which retails for the same price as this one, it's daintier, the angled brush is dense, and the spoolie is smaller. The bodyography brush is longer and the spoilie is larger. I personally think when it comes to brows, it's easier to work with a smaller brush.  Included in the box, I'm happy I got it, but, I wouldn't go out of my way for a product like this.  

So, to sum this up, I think this box was fantastic, at a $98 value! Yes I wasn't a fan of the brow products but I loved everything else!

Don't know about Boxycharm? It's a $21 a month beauty subscription that sends out 4 to 5 FULL SIZE beauty items a month. The boxes always seem to be worth around $100. Totally worth the $21 you pay!
