Now, on to the items!
JonteBlu Eyeliner Pencil in 903 Dark Brown – Retail Value $5
(This item is a possible variant item. And it will be in multiple shades.)
This eyeliner has good pigment for a pencil, and it stayed put pretty well, too. (It’s not a budge/smudge-proof eyeliner, though.) The brown shade works well for a natural look on me.

OFRA Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Verona – Retail Value $20
(This is a variant item. Subscribers will either receive an OFRA Lippie or a Girlactik Lippie. Colors will vary. See spoilers here.)
I’ve sampled the OFRA Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick before, and the formula is great. The finish is matte but non-drying, the pigment is fantastic, and it seriously lasts, too!
This color is a warm mocha brown. I personally don’t like how brown shades look with my skintone, so this shade is a miss for me. (Swatched in lower photo.)
Alamar Cosmetics Palette – Retail Value $28
(All subscribers will receive this item.)
This is the first palette from the new cosmetics company, Alamar Cosmetics. (Founded by Gabriela Trujillo!)
I am SO impressed with this palette! The colors are beautiful and the pigment is incredible! The shimmers can be applied with a wet brush for an even more intense look. (And the bottom four mattes are dry brush only.)
Here are all the colors swatched under the eyeliner and OFRA lipstick:
All of these swatches are one swipe only! Hands down one of the best palettes I’ve ever tried. And I love that this has a mix of colors that will work for everyday subtle looks, and shimmers for some seriously bold looks, too.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream – 25 ml Retail Value $10
(All subscribers will receive this item.)
If you haven’t tried Bum Bum cream yet, it’s pretty amazing. First, the Pistachio + Salted Caramel fragrance is amazing! The formula absorbs quickly, is super moisturizing, and has the added benefit of making your skin look tighter – perfect for legs!
This is a baby version of the Bum Bum cream, which is super cute, and probably good for a few uses. Here it is in my hand to give you a better sense of scale:
Luxie Brush Set – Retail Value $42
(All subscribers will receive this item.)
- Luxie Rose Gold Precision Foundation 660 – works for both liquid + powder foundations
- Luxie Rose Gold Tapered Highlighting Face Brush 522 – works for highlighting + setting powder under your eyes
- Luxie Rose Gold Duo Fiber Powder Brush 516 – works for applying both powder and cream makeup
I love the luxie pink and rose gold metal color combination, and the synthetic brushes are great quality, too. Super soft!
Battington Monroe Silk Lashes – Retail Value $28
(All subscribers will receive this item.)
These lashes are 100% silk and provide moderate length and serious volume. Gorgeous! They are good for up to 25 uses, and are cruelty-free. (Tutorial from Haley on an intro to false lashes coming soon!)
Verdict: The total retail value of this box is $133! As usual, I think that’s amazing for a $21 box – Boxycharm never disappoints! I love that they included Bum Bum cream in this box (even if it is a mini), and I’m so impressed with that palette.
