  • A LOVE – ly Boxycharm

    Happy February! The month of love, and loving your products! I decided I’d like to have a makeup-heavy box this month, so I mostly chose and added cosmetics instead of the skincare I was more drawn to. But they were pretty good picks if I do say so myself. I’ve been very excited to get…

    Hi everyone! It’s time to talk about the BoxyCharm for October! I usually look forward to choice day with so much apprehension, but this month I almost forgot about it. I was at my desk at work and remembered, at 12:48, that it was the 1st of the month, and it was time to GOOOOO.…

  • Fall BoxyCharm – Full of FENTY

    Time for the first BoxyCharm of Fall. This one was honestly very disappointing, but we’ll go over everything anyway. Power picks were awful, completely unknown brands, nothing like the normal heavy hitters that we expect them to offer. Choice was even worse, zero options for any good makeup. In add-ons at least I was able…

  • How To Over Spend on an Icon Box – Featuring One/Size

    Girl, let me tell you something, I am a pro at this. Swiping through add-ons, scooping up the best finds, and not checking the total at the end? Next level. Icon Box is always a bigger buy, of course, because it has significantly more and better choices and add-on options, and I took full advantage.…

  • The Next Spring BoxyCharm – Full of Repeats?

    Playing with Texture Hi all! Time to talk about the April BoxyCharm. Sorry it’s such a late post; this month, IPSY didn’t ship out my box until midway through the month, which means I didn’t receive any of the items until April was almost over and I had very little time to get it posted.…
