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. This is such a great idea for my daughter – she’s almost 13 and always experimenting with make up and face masks. Will definitely keep in mind, she’d love it!
