Wow! It's been quite a while since my last blog post...
I keep setting these overly ambitious writing schedules for myself, but in reality, I have a full-time job and two toddlers that keep me VERY busy.
I finally sat down and wrote down a blogging schedule with only 2-3 posts a week. This schedule will be a lot easier to stick to, and I will be focusing on products that I am currently using and enjoying.
Thank you to all my subscribers that have stuck with me these past two years, I really appreciate each one you!
Ok, let's get to my BoxyCharm unboxing...
~ BoxyCharm Base Box ~
I am fortunate to receive the BoxyCharm Base Box in PR every month, but this is the first time that I am doing an unboxing on my blog. Typically, my BoxyCharm unboxings get posted to my Instagram page, so I am just testing the waters with this post.
The BoxyCharm Base Box is the lowest tier of BoxyCharm boxes, but in my opinion, the Base Box is usually better than the higher tiers.
The Base Box costs $25/month and it comes with 5 full-sized beauty products. For the Base Box, you get to choose one of your products, you will get an email when it is time to pick your product. I recommend running onto the website before all the good choices are gone.
When you first sign up, you will see the free gift that you can redeem on the main page. Just enter the code for the product you want, and it will show up with your first box! How sweet is that?
Another perk of getting subscribing to BoxyCharm, even the Base Box, you gain access to their pop-up shop. Boxy Pop-Up will give you access to products that have appeared in past and current boxes for up to 70% off. It's a great opportunity to pick up beauty products sold at Sephora for a fraction of the price!
So what did I get in my September Base Box? Let's find out!
~ September 2021 Base Box Unboxing ~
- Blinc Glow Getter Face Palette ($50)- this palette is absolutely stunning! I have fair-light skin, and all the shades look great on me. The blushes are pigmented but blend out effortlessly, and the highlighters pack a major punch! I've never tried anything from Blinc before, so I'm happy I was introduced to them through BoxyCharm. This palette is supposed to be a BoxyCharm Exclusive, but you can purchase it from the Blinc website by using the link above.
- Elaina Badro BabyBlues Set ($58)- this is a three-piece brush set that is definitely not worth $58. I have gotten some amazing brush sets in my BoxyCharms, but this is not one of them. They kind of feel like they were purchased from AliExpress, and the shapes of the brushes are just not very useful for me. This is also a BoxyCharm Exclusive, but I'm just not impressed with these.
- Dr. Brandt Triple Antioxidant Eye Cream ($48)- ok, this is something I'm excited about. I absolutely love Dr. Brandt skincare, and their products are worth every penny! This is a new launch from the brand, so it's great to see it in the Base Box. Don't be surprised if you see this eye cream in a skincare routines update soon!
- Saint Luxe Beauty Brow Gel in Clear ($22)- I always love getting brow gels, especially clear ones. I used this gel all week and I have been loving it! If you have overgrown brows that need a little control, this is the brow gel for you. I'm very happy to have gotten this in my box.
- Insert Name Here Quick Slick Hair Essence ($18)- this was definitely something different for me. I have been getting the Base Box since October 2020, and I have never received a haircare product in my box. Until now. I'm pretty excited about this though. The hair essence comes in a mascara tube, and you can quickly comb down flyaways on the go. I am going to be keeping this in my work bag, and we will see if it ends up in a favorites post in the future.
~ Final Thoughts ~
Overall, this was a great value for a $25 box. I did adjust the prices on some of the items, but for the most part, the pricing was pretty accurate. The only product I wouldn't include in the final value is the brush set.
Without the brush set, the value of the box came out to $138. That's an amazing deal for some great products that I will be using often!
