Boxy and Chill! The theme of January 2019 #BoxyCharm box. These items are all about hanging out with a very wearable eyeshadow pallet, a moisture hair mask and what I hope to be a GREAT face mask for dry skin.
This is a leave in conditioner that claims to “repair and strengthen damaged hair and split ends enhancing the hair’s resiliency, shine, softness, and hydration.” You can use this leave in conditioner on a variety of hair types, including chemically treated hair. All of the magic happens with algae extract, panthenol and unique argan oil microencapsulation technology. No sulfates, silicones or parabens are needed! I am really big into leave in conditioners, but usually I want them to help with detangling as well. However, no where on the bottle do I see anything about that being something it does. We will have to see when I come back with my review on all of these products. MSRP is $16.00 for a 2 oz bottle.
This is a deep red brick color with a slight plum tint if applied thinly. This is a matte liquid lipstick that claims to be long lasting with minimal transfer. This liquid lipstick is also infused with vitamin A and antioxidants which will help them feel healthier. The first impression of the packaging is modern with a beautiful geometric tube and a striking white cap. The packaging makes it easy to tell #OFRA makes the product and what the name of the color is. This shade, Havana Nights, is in collaboration with #KathleenLights. MSRP - $20.00 Full Size
First off, the packaging on this is FABULOUS. It has a beautiful blue, purple, and gold outside that feels luxury. The palette has a heavy base that seems to be protective of what is inside. Better yet, this palette come in a beautiful blue and purple ombre box. This #Tarte eyeshadow palette also stands out because it is a circle and is a great size for traveling.
The shades in this are very natural and could create a lot of everyday looks. There are 8 eye shadows; seven reflective plush micro shimmers and one matte nude. The eye shadows are all vegan and made with no parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, or gluten. This claims to be long lasting formula that is crease free. Extra bonus for this product! The box includes a little insert that gives a tutorial for two different eye looks! MSRP - $36.00
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. Not only is #TATCHA a really nice brand but it is a product that might really help me, as I have extremely dry skin. This face mask claims to give you an instant dewy, luminous glow while restoring your skin’s health and radiance to give you over all ultra-hydrated skin. Ingredients include rice germ oil, vitamin E, essential fatty acids and highly concentrated botanical oils. I love how the back of the face mask package tells about where this product is inspired from. It discusses the Japanese tradition of women brewing botanicals to make masks for themselves. The packaging is also elegant with dark and light purples curves on the front. This product is made without mineral oil, parabens, synthetic fragrances, sulfate detergents, phthalates, urea, DEA, or TEA. Length of use – 1 use (each package) for 15 mins. 2 packages included in each box. Each mask includes 20 ml of serum to drench the skin. MSRP - $24.00 (2 Masks). Extra bonus for this product! Comes with a code for BoxyCharm users for a free gift with a $75 purchase.
The Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eye Pencil is an exclusive launch with BoxyCharm which I think is super cool. This is the first eye pencil that Starlooks makes that is mechanical. It claims to have an “intensely pigmented formula” that lasts all day. This eye pencil has an easy to extend and retract pen that makes it simple to get rid of one more tool, a pencil sharpener. Packaging on this eye pencil is very basic as it does not stand out from any other normal eye pencil out there. MSRP - $19

Overall thoughts
The box – The texture on the outside of this box has a nice, smooth texture, giving it a little higher end feel. Inside the box, there is a foam protective layer that is double thick. Not all boxes include this so it is a nice add on to ensure that products are protected to the best of their ability.
Additional items: An overview insert is included in the Boxy Charm box which is really nice to get more information on each product. It is nicely made with a cool theme image on the front. This month is Boxy and Chill. The insert includes the MSRP of each product.
Value: The cost of Boxy Charm is $21 every month. The total MSRP of this box is $115. Great savings!
· Stay tuned for an update of in depth reviews of what I thought of each product. I will test out their claims and discuss my overall thoughts on the product as well as value for money.
