Boxycharm November 2019 | Worst Month Yet!? November 12, 2019
How have I been subscribed to Boxycharm for three months already?! In today’s post, I’ll be doing an unboxing of the Boxycharm November 2019 box.
Dominique Cosmetics – Celestial Thunder Eyeshadow Palette | $35.00, CF
This month’s box included a mini version of the Dominque Cosmetics Celestial Storm Eyeshadow Palette. I am bitter that I received the Celestial Thunder Palette because already own the Dominique Cosmetics Celestial Storm Eyeshadow Palette.
As a result, I will not swatch this or use this palette at all. Unfortunately, this palette did not come in a box. Therefore, I am unsure whether I’ll try to sell this palette at a steep discount or whether I’ll save it for a giveaway.
Kypris – Antioxidant Dew Quench & Glow Serum | $90.00, CF
The Kypris Antioxidant Dew Quench & Glow Serum claims to soothe and nurture the skin. Also, the formula promises to hydrate the skin and leave it with a refreshed glow. Overall, I am excited to try this serum.
Dose of Colors – Liquid Matte Lipstick (Nude Mood) | $18.00, CF
Dose of Colors has one of the most hyped liquid lipstick formulas on the market. While I love the brand’s glosses, the liquid lipsticks are still new to me.
Color-wise, I am relieved that I received one of the neutral shades advertised by Boxycharm. For context, I received a strange orange lipstick from MAC in the September 2019 Boxycharm. Moreover, I STRUGGLED to sell that lipstick at less than half the price!
Boxycharm November 2019 – Stellar
Tula Skincare – Star Power Nourishing & Brightening Cosmic Hydrogel Mask (Set of 2) | $22.00, CF
Tula is a brand I long to try. That being said, I do not enjoy typically sheet masks. Will I keep these? Yes. However, I’m not excited to own these masks.
[Future me: I used the Tula masks and the results blew me away. Again, I do not buy sheet masks. However, these left a radiant glow!]
Boxycharm – 2-Piece Brush Set | $35.00, CF
Aesthetic-wise, these 2-piece brushes from Boxycharm are objectively ugly. Moreover, the top of both brushes is large with densely packed bristles.
The large brush promises to provide perfect for liquid, cream, and powder application. Meanwhile, he smaller brush is for foundation application.
Finally, I do not believe that these brushes are worth $35.00. Luxie and Sigma both sell more affordable brushes. Also, their brushes look much better.
BECCA Ultimate Coverage 24 Hour Foundation Complexion Pack
At first, I was livid when I thought that this dinky sample was the fifth item in my box. However, I changed my mind once I read the Boxycharm November 2019 pamphlet.
Charmers received one of two foundation samplers to help Boxycharm better understand its subscribers’ complexions. Supposedly, this will help subscribers receive complexion products that are better matched in future boxes. I am so curious to see if Boxycharm starts including foundations or concealers in future boxes.
Final Thoughts on the Boxycharm November 2019 Box
So how did the Boxycharm November 2019 box stack up?
I am beyond bitter about this month’s Boxycharm. Although the Kypris serum is the “big-ticket” item, the eyeshadow palette is clearly intended to bring the WOW factor. To be fair, if I didn’t own the full-size Dominque Cosmetics Palette I’d be less bitter.
Of the items I received, I am most excited to try the Kypris serum and the Dose of Colors Liquid Lipstick. I will use the Tula Skincare masks and the Boxycharm brushes, but I’m not excited about them. I wish I had received something else in the November 2019 box.
At this point, I am torn on whether I’ll keep my subscription. I’m toying with canceling it after the six-month subscription period. However, part of me is also toying with upgrading to Boxycharm Premium. This month’s premium box looked incredible!
Rating the Boxycharm November 2019 box: 3/5 stars

November 12, 2019 at 6:59 amI am sorry it wasn’t a better box, LP! I really enjoyed your reviews. What is it about sheet masks you don’t like? I tend to find them pricy and there’s no way to extend your use of them unlike with other types of masks where you can control the amount you use?
The Newbury Girl says
November 12, 2019 at 2:56 pmI never find sheet masks to be as effective as traditional cream or clay masks. Also I don’t like that they are a single use product so I always feel wasteful when I use them :/

November 12, 2019 at 10:04 amInteresting box… I’m sorry it was better for you. It does seem to be very underwhelming.
The Newbury Girl says
November 12, 2019 at 2:57 pmIt’s a shame because the premium box (which is $10 more) was really incredible this month. To be fair, this would have gotten a higher rating from me if I didn’t already own the DC palette
Simone says
November 15, 2019 at 7:56 amI’m sorry this wasn’t a nice box for you! One of the reasons I think I wouldn’t subscribe to Boxycharm would be me being scared about receiving things I already have. However, I still really like the idea of these boxes and I don’t own anything that’s in this month’s box.
The Newbury Girl says
November 16, 2019 at 2:08 pmI think these are good for people who don’t have large collections but when you own as much makeup as you or I do, the items often aren’t what we’d buy ourselves or could be something already in our collections!
PoojaG says
November 19, 2019 at 9:58 pmIt sucks that this month was disappointing. Maybe try for one more month and if you’re disappointed again cancel your subscription.
The Newbury Girl says
November 23, 2019 at 1:45 pmI signed up for a 6-month trial, so I won’t be cancelling for 3 months lol. I DID, however, update my box preferences. I changed it to say that I prefer mostly skincare to makeup.
Either way though, I feel like this sub will run its course at the end of my trial. It doesn’t make sense for me since I own so much makeup.
PoojaG says
November 24, 2019 at 10:13 pmOh man well hopefully you’ll get better stuff now. Yeah I guess it’s not worth it for people who already own a lot of full sized products.
Hunida says
November 30, 2019 at 6:35 pmI would have LOVED to get the DC palette but totally understand why you’re bitter since you already have the full-sized! I also noticed Boxycharm doesn’t give the outer boxes with their products often. I’ve always wanted to try DOC liquid lippie, glad you got a nice shade! & the serum sounds nice… if it actually does what it claims! I’ve not heard of Tula but I actually love sheet masks. Hope everything you kept & tried worked out for you!
The Newbury Girl says
December 1, 2019 at 4:24 pmI think that’s what kills me. Had I not bought the DC palette I would have LOVED this box way more… but as it stands right now I’m 0/3 in terms of eyeshadow palettes I’ve kept from Boxy.
I ended up completely changing my setting so we’ll see how my next 3 boxes go. If I don’t like the next two boxes, I’m going to preemptively cancel before my 6-month sub renews!
Hunida says
December 2, 2019 at 2:45 amAh, that’s such a shame you haven’t wanted to keep any of your eyeshadow palettes from Boxy. What about the DOC one? I hope that your changed settings will help them give you more of what you want!
The Newbury Girl says
December 2, 2019 at 2:59 amCrazily enough, I actually sold that palette completely brand new! Although I really like the DOSE formula and I didn’t own that particular palette, I took a big look at my collection and determined that someone else would use that WAY more than I would. I’ve been trying to sell the DC & VV palettes too.
Essentially, if I didn’t have a huge collection I would have LOVED these palettes. However, because I own so many palettes, I don’t think I’d use these the way I’d like to. I wouldn’t mind keeping the VV palette if it doesn’t sell but the DC palette def needs a new home.
I seriously hope that I’ll start to get more skincare products now that I changed my settings! But we shall see LOL!
Hunida says
December 2, 2019 at 8:25 pmOh yay, glad you were able to sell the DOSE palette. That totally makes sense with your huge collection! I hope you’re able to rehome the other two, as well. 🙂
Ipsy is much better at listening to your profile, I really wonder if you’d prefer it over Boxy since they do usually send more skincare, too. 😛
The Newbury Girl says
December 2, 2019 at 10:33 pmI wonder if there is just a skincare box out there? There has to be lmao!
Hunida says
December 3, 2019 at 12:21 amHave you ever heard of TestTube by NewBeauty? I think they are bi-monthly and usually have more skincare & haircare, with maybe 1 makeup product each box.
The Newbury Girl says
December 3, 2019 at 11:37 amLmaoooo yes I was gifted it one time, but I got a lot of random stuff hahaha
Hunida says
December 3, 2019 at 10:05 pmI’ve never gotten it but, the spoilers always look good to me lol!
