Boxycharm Unboxing - July 2017

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

I temporarily cancelled my Boxycharm subscription after I received February's box due to other financial obligations (taxes, ugh), but I'm happy to say that I was able to resubscribe this month.  Boxycharm is my favorite subscription box, so I'm ecstatic to be receiving this service again!  For those of you who don't know, Boxycharm is a monthly beauty subscription that costs $21.00 a month and contains 4-5 full size beauty products.  This month's box theme is "Cutie Pie" and has a total value of $127.00!

Project Beauty "Spray. Set. Go." makeup setting spray - $32.00
I do not like this spray nozzle.  It sprays out unevenly and in huge drops.  I wouldn't spray it on my face after applying makeup because I was too afraid of the spray ruining all my hard work.  I just finished off a travel size bottle of the Smashbox Primer Water, so I transferred about half of this setting spray into the Smashbox bottle and I'm using it that way.  My makeup lasted all day long after applying this, so it does work, but the packaging absolutely sucks.  For $32.00 I shouldn't have to transfer the product to a better bottle.

Blinc x Boxycharm "Electric Eyes" eyeshadow palette - $45.00
These shadows are incredibly smooth and pigmented!  I honestly wasn't expecting the quality of these shadows to be very good, but I'm pleasantly surprised.  Since these are highly pigmented and creamy, there is a bit of kick back in the pan and fall out, but that's something I'm willing to live with for good quality.  Amazing as these shadows are though, I don't think they're worth the $45.00 retail price.  You only get five shadows and all of them are shimmers so you can't do a complete look with this palette alone.

WinkyLux "Uni-Brow" universal eyebrow pencil - $12.00
I was so worried that this brow pencil wasn't going to be good for two reasons.  First, I'm always a bit skeptical when a product says "universal" because it usually doesn't work for me, but this shade actually matches my eyebrows perfectly.  Second, when I swatched this on my arm it was stiff and it took a while to see any pigment, but when I used it on my eyebrows it was gave just the right amount of pigment - not too dark, not too light.  I'm not a fan of the spooly brush though.  I prefer the spooly on the Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencils.  The actual brow product is very nice though.

ColourPop x Hello Kitty Ultra Satin Lip in "Lock Diary" - $6.00
I have a confession.  This is my first ColourPop product.  I don't know why I just never got around to checking out their website and placing an order, and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it sooner!  This Ultra Satin Lip is insanely pigmented and is actually comfortable to wear.  The shade is stunning as well.

BareMinerals "Invisible Light" translucent powder duo - $32.00
These powders felt stiff and a bit chalky when I did my swatches.  Fortunately they still look good on the face.  The highlight is subtle and nice for people with fair-light skin.  The translucent powder doesn't look cakey under my eyes and it brightened my skin a little bit.  There is A LOT of kick back in the pan with these powders.  I like it, but it's probably not something I would buy only because I prefer loose powders and blinding highlighters.

What do you think of this month's box?  The only product that I don't like is the setting spray and that's only because of the packaging, so I'm calling this month's box a hit!
