BoxyCharm Premium Review – February 2020

Hi all! I’ve just received my February BoxyCharm Premium! This is a fairly new subscription from BoxyCharm. It’s a little more products than the regular and a little less than the BoxyLuxe. Here’s the details:

It’s $35 a month
6-7 beauty items a box
$175+ Value
You get to pick one of the items
The items will be different from BoxyCharm/BoxyLuxe – you can subscribe to both with no product overlap.

I’ve been receiving this box since it launched last November. The products I received are:

Karity Picante Palette — $29
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush — $40
Faccia Skincare 24K Gold Foil Moisturizer — $100
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist — $28
Korres Body Butter in White Blossom — $32
Tarte Double Duty Beauty Base Tape Hydrating Powder — $30

My total this month is $259 — Amazing for a $35 box!

This is the item I chose this month. It was between this and a hair straightener. The photos I saw of this made the palette look so bright, but in real life it’s a lot more wearable. I’m excited to test it out!

I’m very excited about this blush! I don’t have any Hourglass Cosmetics products and I’ve heard their blushes are gorgeous. This is in Dim Infusion – A subdued coral blush fused with Dim Light to add warmth. I’m trying it out soon! I’ve been sick the last few days and haven’t been wearing makeup, but I have lots of new makeup to play with, so I’m getting up and putting makeup on!

This is the skincare I received. I love Glow Recipe and am looking forward to use this mist, but I’ve never heard of Faccia Skincare before, but I’me game to try this spendy face cream. I have a few moisturizers open right now, but I’ll put it in my stash for later.

I have heard good things about this Tarte primer. I love all types of primer, so I will use this, too.

The packaging of this Korres Body Butter is gorgeous. It’s very floral, but I will keep it in my office and use it when I need some hydration.

I am quite happy with this month’s BoxyCharm Premium! I plan on using everything that I got in the box this month! Amazing! Next month’s Premium is all Fenty Beauty products and I’m looking forward to that box as well!

I also just received my regular BoxyCharm for February and will be reviewing that in a couple of days.

Do you get BoxyCharm or BoxyCharm Premium? What did you get this month?

Karity Travel Chamber + Single Shadows Review

I recently received a lovely box of Karity products for my honest review. You can see my review of Karity’s 15 Nudes & Rudes palette here.

Today, I want to share Karity’s cool Travel Chamber ($12 USD) that can hold up to 9 single eye shadows and 9 fun singles shadows.

Here’s the empty palette:

This is really easy to fill and it a very portable size, which is perfect for travelling. It’s heavy duty cardboard and closes magnetically. It has a nice little mirror, too.

Here are the shadows:

I received some very bright shades with a few neutrals. They are $4 each on Karity’s website. Here are the shadows inside the palette:

The shades from left to right, starting in the first row are:

One Night Stand (Satin) — Soft gold peach with pearl satin

Confidential (Frost) — Rich cocoa lustre

Unspoken (Velvet) — Dark brown velvet

Baby Habit (Metallic) Bright pink with icy shimmer frost

Bamba (Matte) — Bright mint green matte

Amoeba (Frost) — True blue with icy shimmer frost

Sanguine (Matte) Vivid bright yellow matte

Viper (Frost) — Vibrant golden green with yellow shimmer frost

Spring Break (Matte) — Vivid pinky orange matte

Swatches:

The colors swatch well and are highly pigmented. I especially love the first 4 shades because I will wear them a lot. The last 5 are unusual for me. I can see accenting my look with one. I like the blue in the middle, the teal next to it, and the coral on the end. I have played around with them and the blend really well and there’s not a lot of kick up in the pan, even though they are really velvety.

I can see myself switching out a few of these for some more neutrals, but the shades I was sent are so much fun to play with!

Karity shadows are very high quality for the price. I would definitely recommend picking up a few of the shadows to try or purchasing a palette.

Karity 15 Nudes & Rudes Palette

I received a Karity 15 Nudes & Rudes palette in the mail a couple of months ago. I’m thinking that it was for my honest review, but I don’t know who sent it!

I am so happy that I received it, though! The eye shadows are creamy and very well pigmented. The palette is $25. Which is pretty affordable for the quality. I also received a Travel Chamber, which is like a Z-palette and holds 9 eye shadows. And I received a colorful selection of single shadows. I will be reviewing that next week. I haven’t put it together yet, but I am looking forward to playing with it!

This Nudes & Rudes palette consists of 15 highly pigmented shades in 6 finishes: 5 frost, 3 satin, 2 matte, 2 velvet, 2 metals, 1 duochrome (Pixiedust on the bottom). It is cruelty free, vegan and paraben free. There is also a 9 shade and a 21 shade Nudes & Rudes.

Every Nudes & Rudes palette has its own unique colors which just makes me want all of them!

This comes with a mirror, which makes me very happy!

These are creamy shadows, especially the more shimmery shades. Here are my swatches:

From left to right — In the nude, Tiffanie, Tongue Tied, Butterscotch and Princess.

Moonlight, Good Witch, Sunkissed, Decadence, Centaur

Newborn, Pixiedust, Rockstar, Persephone, Dark Side.

I’m always more of a fan of the shimmery shades than mattes, but I do like to use mattes in my crease and sometimes on my lid. My favorites are probably Tiffanie, Good Witch and Pixiedust. In the nude is a great base shade and Moonlight is a gorgeous highlight. The other shades add a really nice depth to whatever look I’m going for.

I was really impressed with this palette. It may be nudes, but they are not safe or boring. I guess that’s where the rudes come in!
