Boxycharm Unboxing - September 2017

Hello, everyone!  How was your weekend?

My Boxycharm came in on Friday and I wanted to share with you everything that I got.  If you don't know what Boxycharm is, it's a monthly beauty subscription service that includes 4-5 full size beauty products for a reasonable $21.00 a month.  We actually received 6 products this month, which is pretty cool.  This month's theme is "Boxy Baddie" and the total value of my box comes to $141.00!  We were also given a coupon code for 25% off of your entire purchase at purcosmetics.com  The code is BOXYSEPT if you want to use it.  It's valid until 10/15/17.  ;)

 

Pur Cosmetics "Soiree Diaries" Eyeshadow Palette - $34.00
Unfortunately, the mirror in my palette was shattered during shipping, but somehow the shadows remained intact.  I've been subscribed to Boxycharm for over a year now and this is the first time I've received anything broken.  I just put some clear tape over the glass for now.  I may depot these shadows and put them in a Z Palette eventually.  The shadows are actually very nice.  They're pigmented and smooth (with the exception of Twinkle - that one is a bit chunky).  It is a fantastic neutral palette.  I'll have a separate review + swatches post on this palette up on Thursday.

Briogeo "Don't Despair Repair" Deep Conditioning Hair Mask - $20.00
I haven't tried anything from this brand yet (even though I already own another product from them), but I've heard great reviews of this brand.  I don't get too excited about hair products the way I do about makeup, but I'm always up to try out a new hair mask.

MAC Eyebrow Pencil in "Lingering" - $18.00
I was ecstatic when I learned that we would be receiving an item from MAC in this box!  I don't think I've ever seen MAC products in any other beauty subscription before.  However, we did just receive a different eyebrow pencil in July's box as well, so it's not like I need another brow product.  I'm not sure if this shade will match my brows but I'll give it a go once I run out of my ABH Brow Wiz.

ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip in "Strip" - $6.00
We also just received a ColourPop Ultra Satin liquid lipstick in the box from July as well.  Thankfully, I really like this formula because it isn't drying and it feels comfortable to wear.  I'm not a huge fan of this shade though.  I'm not into super nude or brown shades.  I just don't think these types of shades look good on me.

Studio Makeup "Loose Blush" - $35.00
I don't think I've ever used a loose powder blush before.  This one looks like it will be a nice shade though.  It's pretty sheer with the first application, but the pigmentation is buildable.  There's a lot of product in this jar as well which is nice if you have to build up the color quite a bit.

Bare Minerals "Face Perfecting" Brush - $28.00
I remember watching a bunch of YouTubers review this brush when it was first released and I really wanted to try it out myself.  I never did get around to picking it up, and I was so happy to see it in my box this month!  *Update* I've used this once with the Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream and it left a ton of brush marks on my face.  I'll try it out using different foundations and update this post later.

That's everything I received in this month's box!  Overall, my box wasn't too bad.  I was pretty bummed out about the broken palette, but I'm really glad the shadows are fine!  The CP liquid lipstick isn't my color, but only one disappointing product out of six isn't awful.  Especially since it's the cheapest product.  Haha!

Are you subscribed to Boxycharm?  If so, are you happy with what you got in your box?

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week!
