January 2020 Boxycharm: Breaking the Ice

Today, I’ll be chatting about my first impressions with my January 2020 Boxycharm!

This month’s box contains four full-size and one travel-size products. I must say, this month’s box left me feeling underwhelmed, mainly because of the travel-size sleep mask as well as the concealer, which is a little too dark and cool-tone for me. Despite feeling a little disappointed about this month’s box, there are still some great qualities with the products I received!

Pretty Vulgar Under Cover Concealer (MSRP $25)

I’m all about trying new concealers, which is why I love when Boxycharm includes them in their box. However, the shade sent to me is a tad bit too dark and cool-tone for my skin tone. This definitely upset me since I had completed their elaborate complexion quiz prior to receiving this. I’m hoping this concealer will be a better match for me in the summer when I’m more tanned, but until then, this will be sitting idly in my drawers.

Ace Beaute Scarlet Dusk Palette (MSRP $34.99)

This eyeshadow palette is the definition of fire! The beautiful orange and purple shades remind me of a sunset. I’ve tried Ace Beaute shadows before, and the formula is really good, so I cannot wait to try this palette.

Skin&Co Truffle Therapy Face Gommage (MSRP $28)

Another item I’m excited to try from this month’s box is this face scrub. I received another Skin&Co Truffle Therapy product from Boxycharm a couple months back, and I love the results I saw after using it.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask (MSRP $22)

I own the full-size of this sleep mask, and it’s my skincare obsession! It makes my skin so smooth and plump, and it smells just like a watermelon Jolly Rancher. I am slightly disappointed that a full-size of this wasn’t included since one of Boxycharm’s advertising points is that each month’s box includes 5 full-size products. However, the travel-size will come in handy for me since I love taking this mask with me when I travel.

Qveen Studio Matte Liquid Lip Satin (MSRP $17)

I love trying new lip products, especially liquid lips, so I’m really excited to try this product. I received the shade Thick Skin, which is a beautiful neutral and definitely my kind of shade. I’m so curious about this formula since the name states that it’s matte, yet satin at the same time.


That’s a wrap for my January 2020 Boxycharm. The total value of this box is $126.99. Like I said, I’m not totally in love with this month’s box, but I’ve been more disappointed by other boxes before. I am, however, very excited to see what’s in February’s box, so fingers crossed it’ll be a better one!

  1. No, I never used a Boxycharm, actually it’s the first time I hear about this beauty box. I understand that they send every month new products, looks like it’s like a surprise box, since you don’t know what you’ll get. I like the idea, though I think they should take into consideration the preferences of every customer.

    1. When you sign up, they have beauty and complexion quizzes you can complete so that they take into account what sorts of products and shades you’d prefer to receive in your boxes. Each month, you get to choose one product out of a few options, which is also a nice feature!

    1. I love the element of surprise with these boxes! The nice thing is, Boxycharm also offers choice where you get to choose one product you want to try out of a few, and that your choice will be included in your month’s box ❤️

  2. I love hearing what people think of these type boxes. I have looked into subscribing to one, but haven’t found the best one yet so this was really helpful. The watermelon masks sounds amazing, and I need to try it!

    1. I’m glad my review was able to help you girl! I’ll have one up every month for Boxycharm so stay tuned for that 💕
      The Watermelon Sleep Mask is amazing! I have the full-size and use it all the time!
