Boxycharm is very similar to other monthly subscriptions services like Birchbox or Ipsy, however it is guaranteed that you will receive 5 to 7 FULL SIZE items every month. This company strives to supply their subscribers with name-brand beauty essentials that will enhance their beauty collections and allow them to try some of the most popular beauty items. Some of the brands associated with Boxycharm include Covergirl, Essie, Mary-Kay, Revlon, Rimmel, Maybelline, Organix, and several others.
The reviews of this new subscription box have been somewhat mixed so far. I've found that some subscribers have complained that it features too many drugstore products, while others have been thrilled to finally get their hands on popular, well-known items. Personally, I LOVE the idea of a box that features mostly drug store products because that is generally what I purchase. Typically, I don't purchase high-end products because I just can't justify the cost. It would really depend on your personal beauty preferences if this box would be good for you.
The picture above shows the products featured in the May 2013 Boxycharm Box: Spring into Summer. It featured 7 full-sized products including; Essie nail polish, Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush, Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips, Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Gloss, Maybelline Eye Studio Color Palette, Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick, Essence of Beauty Beauty Brush Set, and Styli-Style Eye Liner. Others may have received a few different items however, these were the most common that I came across in the reviews. The first 1,000 subscribers also received a Mary-Kay Beauty Bag as a free gift.
This subscription is available in three different subscription prices; $220 for an entire year, $60 for three months, or $21 per month. I opted for the $21 a month subscription because I want to try it out before paying for an entire year.
Currently, Boxycharm is working on a way of selecting certain products that will compliment each subscribers skin tone, style, and beauty interests. I'm thinking this will likely be similar to Ipsy's beauty quiz , for those of you that are familiar with Ipsy. They are also developing a review section for their website that will allow subscribers to review the products they have received.
I should be receiving the June Boxycharm Box sometime next week and I'm very excited to see what's included for this month! If you would like to get more information on this new beauty subscription be sure to 'like' their facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/Boxycharm?fref=ts
If you are interested in becoming a Boxycharm subscriber yourself be sure to visit their website! There's currently no waiting list! :)
I can't wait to share my review of the June Boxycharm Box once I've received my box! Until then hope you all have a fabulous weekend.
