BOXYCHARM is a beauty box subscription that surprises you each month with the best beauty products from popular and chic brands. It’s $21/month and includes full size and luxury size beauty samples from their team’s preferred well-known brands.

BOXYCHARM ships via FedEx Smart Post (starts out with FedEx and is delivered by USPS) mid-month.

BOXYCHARM has been doing variations in their boxes, and you never know what you are going to get until it arrives.

The January 2017 BOXYCHARM theme was “And the Charm Award Goes to…” and included the following items:

~Vintage Cosmetics ILLUMINATING FACE HIGHLIGHTER SET LIMITED EDITION (Rose Quartz / Chocolate Diamond) ($35): In the package, I was just “meh” about this, but once I tested it? OMG.  It’s so stunning.  The rose quartz is the most beautiful highlighter shade I have every come across.  You can wear it over blush or bronzer, but it’s equally gorgeous alone.

~So Susan Cosmetics Fan Brush ($18.95): This might be the first fan brush I have received in a subscription box?  It’s used for applying highlighter or powder and is made with high-quality synthetic nylon & taklon hairs only.

~Gorge Konjac Sponge ($18): This sponge is made from 100% preservative-free konjac root.  The first time I tried a konjac sponge I thought wait, what?  I am supposed to put this rock on my face?  But if you soak it for a minute or two it gets softer.  You don’t even need to use a cleanser with this.  It works to bring you softer, brighter skin even without it.

~Pur Cosmetics Mineral Glow Bronzer ($25): This is a 100% cruelty-free product, is gluten-free and also contains no parabens.  Sadly it’s just a little too dark for me right now.  Maybe in the summer or after I use some self-tanner it will work better for me?

~English Laundry Pour Femme Deluxe Roller Ball ($25): Pour Femme has top notes of quince, complimented by white chocolate and jasmine petals at the heart and base notes of orris roots, powdery musk, and sensual woods.  I thought it smelled sweet.  Almost fruity (I realize that does not match the description at all, but that’s what I picked up.)  I loved it.

~Swatches:

The January 2017 BOXYCHARM had a value of $121.95.  I loved this box and, as usual, was blown away by the value.  How do they do it???
