IPSY BoxyCharm Makeup Review

by Katie Wallace | Updated: January 1, 2026

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!

This homeschool semester started with the things our kids love most: focused learning, creative projects, and staying active. Right now that looks like basketball, cheer, and lots focused school days.

These home seasons matter. They give our kids space to build skills, explore interests, and settle into routines โ€” while we take a pause from exploring new places.

A lot of people ask if I miss traveling. Honestly, I donโ€™t right now. ๐Ÿ˜€โœจ Iโ€™m really enjoying this purposeful season of family life and growth. When the time feels right, weโ€™ll plan our next adventure. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ
