Unboxing Boxycharm – May 2018

Hi folks,

Today I am going to share the unboxing of my Boxycharm box for the month of May 2018.

Boxycharm is an online based beauty subscription box. In each box, the subscribers receive about 4-5 full-sized makeup/skincare products/beauty tools along with a card that showcases the theme of the month, description and price of the products featured and usually a discount coupon code for one or more of the brands featured in the month. The box costs $21 per month and Boxycharm claims that the value of each box is above $100.

I have been a subscriber of Boxycharm box for more than a year now and in my opinion, this is one of the best beauty boxes available in the market both in terms of value and in terms of the brands featured!

You can find my April Boxycharm review here

This month Boxycharm celebrated their 5th anniversary and added a bonus item in the box making it 6 full-sized products! The theme is ‘Boxy Bash’.




The 6 full-sized items that I got were:

  • PUR sculptor palette
  • COVERFX blurring primer
  • PRETTY VULGAR The Ink gel eyeliner
  • AESTHETICA 3 piece eye trio
  • AESTHETICA P12 Face brush
  • BEAUTY CREATIONS Liquid lip gloss


PUR sculptor palette

Price: $30

This palette has 2 matte contour shades and 2 highlighter shades. All 4 shades seem highly pigmented!





COVERFX Blurring primer

Price: $38





I have heard great reviews about this primer especially on someone with visible pores. Of late, the pores near my nose area seem quite visible under the foundation and hence I am pretty excited to try this and see how it works!

PRETTY VULGAR The Ink gel eyeliner

Price: $24






This was the product I was most excited about! Pretty vulgar products have adorable packaging overall. This specific gel liner comes in a vintage ink bottle style package and houses a ton of product for an eyeliner. The shade Ink is a pitch black creamy eyeliner which applies matte.


AESTHETICA 3 piece eye trio

Price: $45, making it $15 each but I am not sure if its available individually.

AESTHETICA P12 Face brush

Price: $27







The brushes doesn’t have luxe vibe to it and I doubt if it’s really worth the price they quote. Any day, I will be happy with my Morphe and Mac brushes. So it’s a dud for me :-/


BEAUTY CREATIONS Liquid lip gloss

Price: $10
Shade: Kiss me



I guess these were made exclusively for Boxycharm as the packaging carries its name. It is a beautiful bright reddish pink – totally my kind of shade. I would definitely try this.

 Overall value of the box: $174

The lip product is the only variation in this month’s box – every other product is standard across all the boxes for subscribers.

Overall this month’s box is just about ok!

Will I continue to be subscribed? Yes, overall, I feel it is the best beauty box subscriptions around.

Pesarattu and Groundnut chutney – Recipe

Image
Hi folks, During my short stay in Hyderabad, I got to explore few of their regional dishes and one dish that I fell in love with instantly, was Pesarattu. My hostel served it as breakfast once a week and it was an amazing and a complete meal! I met the hostel cook and learnt the recipe and ever since then it has been a staple menu at home.  I have tried pesarattu with lot of side dishes including idly podi but groundnut chutney is the best combination and it elevates the taste of pesarattu a notch.  Let us dive into the recipe of both: Pesarattu:   Ingredients: Green gram – 1.5 cups (300gm) Green chillies – 5-6nos Ginger – a small piece (peeled) Jeera – 1tbsp Salt – per taste   Recipe: Wash green gram and soak it for  at least  4 hours Grind all the ingredients together to a fine paste. (As my father specifically likes it textured, I ground it into a coarse paste, fine paste is what makes the batter even t...

The Body Shop Lip Juicers – A review (Shhhhh… it’s an epic fail!)

Image
Recently as I was browsing new beauty launches, my eyes fell upon this new product from The Body Shop (TBS) – Lip juicers. I love a good lip balm and I place one almost everywhere – my workstation, night stand, purse… you get what I mean right? Practically everywhere! I use TBS Born Lippy pot lip balm regularly and a new launch from TBS which had the cute adorable packaging made me curious! Add to it, the very unique flavors it came in – oh boy, I needed it! Priced at USD $10/ INR 645, this lip balm came in an interesting combination of ingredients! This is what TBS has got to say about it: “ Get fruity with these 100% vegan, moisture-boosting balms.

Tarte Shape Tape concealer – A review

Image
Hi, Today we are going to review one of the best beauty products of 2017 which the entire beauty community raved about! Tarte Shape Tape contour concealer! Tarte Shape tape concealer is a full coverage concealer with a vegan formula. It applies matte and is easily blendable. Available in a wide range of shades (14!), it is priced at $27. Picking a shade or two lighter or darker makes it multitask as a highlighter or contour respectively. The main ingredients include Amazonian clay, conditioning mango seed and shea butters and it claims to promote skin elasticity and illumination. I got mine from Ulta.com . It can also be purchased from Tarte website. The Tarte Shape tape products are exclusive to Ulta and are not available in Sephora. The product comes in a tube packaging with a wand. The wand is quite thick and has a sponge applicator tip. It houses 0.83oz of the product. I have picked the shade ‘deep’ and it is a perfect match for my skin tone. M...
