March Makeup Reviews
Boxycharm March Makeup Box
This was my first ever boxycharm shipment. The box came a little banged up, but the products were fantastic. Below are the products with their descriptions from the website, and we will be adding in reviews as we get to know the products better.
1. Lime Crime Venus 3 Eyeshadow Palette
This palette is filled with rapturous lilac, rose gold, mauve, and earthly brown shades. The ultra-buttery formula sweeps on richly pigmented color that doesn’t fade or fall out. The dreamy lavender and rose gold box is graced with Venus herself.
Create the dreamiest new eye looks from a soft blush of color to a fierce grunge eye. Sweep on brownish neutrals for a natural look. Mix iridescent Heavenly or Beam with any shade to totally transform the color result. Use lighter shades to highlight brow bones and the corner of eyes and darker shades to sculpt and line.
Reviews:
Chastidyi – This contains a nice mix of soft colors for a very old world color scheme. The colors are nicely pigmented so they show strongly when put on. The glittery colors are particularly buttery and easy to blend. I like the softness of the looks you can create with this palette. No particular smell to this brand. The container is well made and durable, and it’s small enough to easily add in to your makeup collection.
Beth- I’m not a big fan of the colors included. It’s too pink toned. They did go on well, and they lasted through several lash changes.
2. Glow Recipe Bana Souffle Moisture Cream
Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream is a soothing, lightweight moisturizer that resets, replenishes, and seals in a boost of lasting hydration without clogging pores, for all skin types, even acne-prone skin. It is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, making it especially good for sensitive skin. Blended with banana, chia seed, magnesium, turmeric, and cica, this sweet soufflé is your recipe for calmer, hydrated healthy-looking skin.
To Use As A Daily Moisturizer:
After serum, smooth a dime-sized amount onto clean skin morning and night. Gently pat into skin until fully absorbed.
Pro Tip:
When skin is looking tired or dull, mix 1 drop of Pineapple-C Bright Serum into a dime-sized amount of Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream for bright, plump, and glowing skin.
Reviews:
Chastidyi – This moisturizer smells slightly of alcohol. It goes on thin and dries quickly. It doesn’t feel sticky as it dries. You don’t need much to get good coverage.
Beth- I think this smells good–kind of like a mixed drink, and my face feels nicely moisturized.
3. Maven Beauty – Maven Rose Water Setting Spray
Set your intentions and your makeup with this aura-lifting, antioxidant-packed Rose Water Setting Spray. Mist all over your finished look to lock it down and prevent smudging for up to 16 hours.
Shake well before use. After makeup application, close eyes and mist evenly 8″-10″ away from the face.
Warning: Avoid spraying in the eyes.
Reviews:
Chastidyi – I didn’t read the directions so I didn’t shake well before the first couple of times that I used this. It seemed to come out in big droplets. After shaking well, it comes out in a nice mist. Has a light scent, but I haven’t noticed my makeup staying on longer or better. This dries quickly and doesn’t feel sticky.
Beth- After putting this on, I feel like I should rub it in.

Reviews:
Chastidyi – There’s a slight pina colada scent to this. The tip is really big compared to most lip oil/gloss applicators. The packaging looks cute. It’s small enough to fit into your purse easily. My lips feel extra juicy.
Beth- This stuff is thick and almost too sticky. It feels like it’s going to stay on for a while.

Chastidyi – This is my first time using brow gel. This goes on easily and moves everything into place. It dries quickly without any residue.
Beth- It seems to work.

Reviews:
Chastidyi – I’m not sure this was supposed to be included in my box. It wasn’t listed on my insert. However, this palette is excellent! Lots of colors, the shadows are well pigmented, and they blend well. I’ve used this for several fun looks. This is the first palette with blues that I’ve really enjoyed.
Beth- I like the color options. Lots of deep colors with a hint of brights and a good variety of greens and blues.
