BOXYCHARM ships via FedEx Smart Post (starts out with FedEx and is delivered by USPS) mid-month.
BOXYCHARM had only released one (I think that’s right) spoiler for this box so I had no idea what else it would include!
The November 2015 BOXYCHARM theme was “Beauty Par-Tea” and included the following items:
~Luxie Rose Gold Concealer Eye Brush ($6): This brush is cruelty-free, vegan, paraben-free and is coated with antibacterial solution. The bristles are soft, but the brush is firm and would be great for getting those corners around your eyes.
~pur~lisse pur~eye Adore Quadra Benefit Eye Serum ($65): I am super excited to get a pur~lisse product that is not moisturizer! This eye serum is thicker than your average serum and pretty much has the consistency of a lotion. The serum decreases puffiness, hydrates, firms and brightens. It soaked into my skin quickly and I found that it reduced puffiness right away. Time will tell on the other ones.
~Manna Kadar Lip Locked Priming Gloss Stain Stain (All of Me) ($24): All of Me is described as a nude rose pink, but wow, I thought it was more like a plum. It was highly pigmented and a little goes a long way! It’s super shiny, but not sticky at all.
~Coolway Leave-In Treatment (2oz) ($14.95): This is a leave-in treatment that helps with split ends, repairs damaged, moisturizes, etc. I like that it’s a leave-in product and thought it did a great job helping with shine without weighing my hair down.
~Studio Makeup Soft Blend Blush (Wildflower) ($17): The information card says that the blush is the Sahara shade, but I actually received the Wildflower shade. It’s a nice neutral and went on a lot lighter than it looks in the package. I actually couldn’t get a good picture because it was so light on my skin,
All totaled I came up with a value of $126.95 for the November 2015 BOXYCHARM. The value was insane (as it usually is with BOXYCHARM), but I wasn’t wow’ed by the box. I did think it was well worth my my money for the eye serum alone. I can’t wait to see the results from that over the next few weeks.

I had the same feelings about this box…..I wasn’t wowed either. I don’t think of a par-tea when I see the contents. I got the wildflower blush too, and it matches my skin tone. My Manna Kadar lip stain is in Lucky which I will be giving to my sister because it looks terrible on me. I’m excited to try the coolway since it’s supposed to be color safe, and I will use the purlisse and concealer brush. Fingers crossed for wowing in December. 🙂
No wow factor there for me either. Oh well..looking forward to December.
There wasn’t a big wow factor, but I’ve got to say, that eye stuff came at the PERFECT time, and the lipgloss and blush colors are perfect for my skin tone, even though neither of them are things that I use often. So it’ll all get used, it’s just kind of.. blah 😛
And I was just thinking … “Wow, I wish I subscribed to this!” … after seeing this box. I think I’m in the minority. 🙂
I just started Boxycharm 2 months ago, and I feel the same. It did not wow me either. I am giving it one more month and then I may cancel. Did anybody else feel the pur~lisse pur~eye Adore Quadra Benefit Eye Serum made your skin dry? I got a dry patch so I stopped using it and now it’s gone. I am not sure if it was there before or the serum caused it, but I am going to try it again to see.
