The June Boxycharm theme is "Sea La Vie," which is inspired by Summer and the sea. For $21 a month, Boxycharm has incredible value. The majority of the products included are full-size. I can really appreciate that because I get tired of receiving tiny samples that doesn't really show how effective the product is. It's hard to determine whether I want to buy more of an item when the sample only lasts for a one-time use.
In addition, Boxycharm also features mid to high end brands. When it comes to stuff going onto my skin, I prefer not to use dollar store items. Boxycharm does a great job at curating products each month. From what I’ve been receiving so far, the retail value of each box has been 5x the amount I paid.

Product: Eslor Chlorophyll Lifting Mask (0.5 oz)
Retail Value: $11.18
The Eslor Chlorophyll Life Mask is a skin tightening mask. It is composed of dried natural milk proteins, plant extracts, seaweed extracts, and minerals. In addition, it is 100% Free of Parabens, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES).
The texture of this product is gel-like, and green in color (I wasn't expecting green to be honest). Once dried, the gel turns into a transparent film that tightens the skin. I like that there's no tingling sensation. The mask needs to be washed off with a cleanser. I don't think my face looked brighter but it does feel softer.
Product: Bellapierre Cosmetics Kabuki Brush
Retail Value: $29.99 (Full Size)
This Kabuki brush is soft and well made (using a tugging test). My current favorite is the Tokidoki Kabuki brush, which is larger and provide better surface coverage. I will keep this as backup since it does work well too.
Product: The Beauty Crop Lighting Crew Highlighting Cream
Retail Value: $18.00 (Full Size)
The Beauty Crop official site no longer carries their highlighting cream, but it is available on Urban Outfitters. Perhaps it's just temporarily out of stock. I don't use highlighting cream often, but I do like its effects when I do use it. I like that this highlighting cream has more natural ingredients than the ones I've tried in the past. There's no mineral oils, phthalates, parabens or animal by-products.
Product: ncLA Nail Lacquer in Nudes Volume IV
Retail Value: $16.00 (Full Size)
I believe Volume IV is the newest in ncLA Nail Lacquer's Nudes line. The detail card does not specify a color, so it will probably vary by box. ncLA nail polishes are "5 Free", which means it is 100% free of DBP, toluene, formaldehyde, camphor, and animal testing. Nude colored nail polishes seems to be trending right now since I've been seeing a lot of it lately.
Product: Cargo Cosmetics Eye Shadow Single
Retail Value: $16.00 (Full Size)
The color I received is called Pasadena, which is a matte pink shade. I love pinks and browns, so I am glad that I got this version. There are several different colors available, so it most likely vary by box. The Cargo Eye Shadow works well, so this is a keeper!

Final Thoughts: As always, Boxycharm’s monthly box values are amazing compared to the subscription fee. They usually include four full-size beauty products, and one deluxe-size sample. I will be able to use everything in the box, so June is another win for me. I really like Boxycharm because they are very consistent every month in terms of product selection and overall retail value.
