The First Look

I checked out some spoilers online for this one, but I wasn’t sure what color variations I would receive.

The Information Card

The May 2015 BOXYCHARM theme was “Bold & Beautiful” and included the following items to help you go beyond your comfort zone and and boldly dare to be your own kind of beautiful:

~ModelCo Bronze Shimmer ($24): I love this!  It’s a nice bronzer and the color is perfect for me.  Whatever bronzer I am using now I am switching to this.

~The Lip Bar Lipstick (Purple Rain) ($20): Wow.  This is certainly purple.  I can’t even pull off a lighter colored lipstick (at least I don’t think I can), so this is way out there.  It’s pretty, but not on me.

~Bodyography Essential Brow Trio ($19): At first I thought this was just a brow product, but it turns out you can use it as a liner and an eyeshadow too! I will totally use this as a shadow.  The colors are awesome and are something I would totally buy on my own.

~Bodyography Brow Brush ($19): I love this!  I will probably mainly end up using this just for separating lashes, but you can use it for brows too.

~Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish (Sunset Tower) ($18): This color is growing on me.  At first I wasn’t a fan, but I am now!  The formula on this is nice and it’s a good Spring color.

All totaled I came up with a value of $100 for the May 2015 BOXYCHARM box.  It wasn’t my favorite box from them, but for $21 it was still an amazing value and I am completely happy with it!

    I was a bit nervous about getting the purple. But seeing your swatch, and im not sure about it in person, but it looks really pretty. Maybe it can be altered down with a lipliner of a more flattering but complimentary color. I love my lipliners. Haha

    I want the lipstick! I’ve seen that color lately on celebrities and in ads. I wore a similar shade years ago in my 20s and it looked great.

    This was my first Boxycharm box or sub box of any kind. I love it! I find the purple lipstick surprisingly flattering. When I first saw it, my first thought was that it would go with my Halloween collection, but upon trying it, it may be a new favorite. I have pale skin, dark brows and blue hair.

  5. Lauren
