IPSY BoxyCharm Makeup Review

by Katie Wallace | Updated: May 13, 2024

Do you like trying new makeup products? I love that monthly boxes make it easy to try new makeup and find new favorites! I especially love a rosy blush and shimmery eye shadow. IPSY BoxyCharm offers the ability to sample beauty products for the low cost of $30!

We purchased this IPSY BoxyCharm subscription to try it out for $30 for one month.

IPSY BoxyCharm spring makeup collection

For me, makeup is a skincare basic I use to get ready for the day. I typically apply foundation, blush, and mascara. Often I add some shimmer highlighter powder and neutral eye shadow.ย  I’m fair skinned with light features, so makeup allows me to add a bit of smoothing shimmer. Furthermore, mascara defines my light eyelashes.

I found all my favorites in this IPSY BoxyCharm makeup collection. I received shimmer highlighter, adventurous eyeshadow colors, black gel eye liner, fair face powder, and a red clay face cleanser. I’m excited to use these within my makeup routine!

Shimmer Cream Highlighter

Trust Fund Beauty is a clever name for beauty products which stand apart. The glow cream highlighter gives skin an illuminating shimmer. This is especially fun for spring and summer seasons, for casual days and dressing up!

Vibrant Eyeshadow Shades

I also love the playful eyeshadow colors from Alamar Cosmetics. I often wear shimmery colors especially in summer. In this eyeshadow pallet, I love the teals, golds, and silver glitter tones. I can use the black and brown shades for shadowing and adding depth.

Last but not least, the Beauty for Real face powder, red clay face cleanser, and Lithe gel eyeliner are makeup basics anyone who loves makeup can use! I typically apply a little face powder to reduce shine. I occasionally use gel eyeliner to make my eyes stand out. Finally, the red clay face cleanser is something new to try in addition to my skincare routine!

I was impressed by each of these full-sized products that came with the IPSY BoxyCharm box. I likely wouldn’t have had the chance to try them out otherwise. My two daughters also enjoyed experimenting with these pampering and shimmery beauty products. Overall, the IPSY box we received was full of fun beauty products, arrived with very cute packaging, and offered special full-sized products to unbox!

Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But Airbnb makes traveling with kids so flexible! But weโ€™ve had to buy some household essentials for our stays. We usually bring our own:

trash bags, cleaning supplies, laundry soap & stain remover, sponges & dish brushes, extra toilet paper, sometimes cute decor! ๐Ÿ˜† 

The reason for this is that Airbnbs are usually not stocked with household supplies. I have my own go-to to favorite products for wiping countertops and doing laundry. 

Additionally, when we travel, we often stay in 5 to 10 Airbnbs, and itโ€™s nice to have our household essentials with us. 

Which household essentials can you not do without while traveling? ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿงป

๐Ÿ“ Ripon Prison Museum - Step back into the earl ๐Ÿ“ Ripon Prison Museum - Step back into the early 1800s in Yorkshire, England, where crime came with serious consequences. Even children were punished with prison time for stealing food or property. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

We walked through cold cells and learned about the forced labor and bleak meals given to inmates. This glimpse into Victorian prison life was sobering, but such a powerful experience for our kids.

Would your homeschool family enjoy this field trip? ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
