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. 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!

Did you know clothes driers are rare in Europe? 👚👖 Many people line dry their clothes, in an effort to be eco-conscious. When we find the occasional drier at a rental house, it has a water reservoir that we have to empty, almost every load. Often we line dry our clothes, which takes 2 days to dry. 🌟 Learning how to do laundry is one example of how traveling can inspire some lifestyle adjustments. Overall, our family is learning so much and creating so many memories as we explore the world. 🫶🌍🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #worldschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily
Shocker — in France, most candy is made without Shocker — in France, most candy is made without artificial food coloring! Can we do this in the US?? 🙋‍♀️ Asking on behalf of my kids and many other parents! 😄 Here’s why even Haribo is labeled with “sans colorant artificiel” in France:✨ Stricter EU regulations ban or limit synthetic dyes linked to hyperactivity or allergies.🌱 There’s a big cultural focus on natural ingredients and quality over flashy colors.👀 French shoppers read labels and avoid unnecessary additives — especially for kids!⚠️ Plus, any artificial dye used must carry a warning like: “May affect children’s behavior and attention.” (Yikes!)So instead of Red 40 or Yellow 5, French treats get their fun colors from plants — think beet juice, turmeric, spirulina, and carrots. 🍓🌿🌈Honestly? We love it. Simple, clean, and still delicious! 😋Would you try candy colored only with natural ingredients? Let us know! 👇
Major Rome highlight!! Things that surprised us at Major Rome highlight!! Things that surprised us at the Colosseum! 😲🇮🇹Stone passageways surround the arena, with three levels of seating — and beneath the floor lies a maze of underground chambers once used to hold wild animals and gladiators before battle.✨ We learned that the Colosseum could hold over 50,000 spectators, and it was built in just 8 years — incredible engineering for ancient Rome!We reserved special access to the top levels, where only 10 people are allowed every 30 minutes. Our family filled 6 of those spots! 🙌 Having those quiet moments above the arena, with no crowds, was surreal.📸 If you ever visit, definitely consider the extra ticket for this unique perspective!🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravelHi!

When in Rome… 📸🇮🇹 Taking photos at the When in Rome… 📸🇮🇹 Taking photos at the iconic Trevi Fountain was more magical than we expected!💧Built in the 18th century, the Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome — and one of the most famous in the world. Designed by architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, it stands at the junction of three roads (“tre vie”), which is where it gets its name!We discovered there’s a crowd control system now in place — and it made all the difference! We stood in a short line to enter the front viewing area, completely free and without a time limit. We ended up staying for about 30 minutes, snapping photos and soaking in the view alongside just a few dozen other people.✨ It was such a cool surprise to enjoy this spot without battling a huge crowd. Definitely worth waiting for the photo op!📸 Is visiting the Trevi Fountain on your bucket list??🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures! 🌎🩵🌟 Hi!

We created unforgettable memories exploring these We created unforgettable memories exploring these iconic Roman landmarks with our kids! 🇮🇹⛲️ Trevi Fountain — Built in the 1700s, this Baroque masterpiece is where three ancient roads once met. The scale and details are incredible! Standing 85 feet tall and over 160 feet wide, it’s one of the largest fountains in the world!🇪🇸 Spanish Steps — Completed in 1725, these 135 steps link Piazza di Spagna to the Trinità dei Monti church above. We all enjoyed the exercise while climbing these iconic stairs. 🏛️ Pantheon – Nearly 2,000 years old, it’s the best-preserved ancient Roman building. Our kids were amazed by the giant columns (each carved from a single piece of Egyptian granite) and the open oculus letting sunlight stream through the dome.Things we learned while traveling # 10 ☀️ History came alive for all of us in Rome!
