The February 2018 theme is "Galaxy Glow." Following are the items I received:

NAKED COSMETICS Holographic Highlighter Collection ($39.99) - With six stunning holographic shades, this highlighting palette is essential for any makeup enthusiast. Each iridescent shade is perfect for highlighting and layering to transform any look into something enchanting.

COVER FX Shimmer Veil in Amethyst (0.14oz, $28.00) - This multi-use cream color is crease-proof enough for the boldest of eye looks and formulated with a weightless finish for a shimmering effect anywhere on the face.

THE VINTAGE COSMETIC COMPANY Smokey Eye Pencil in Jet Black (0.04oz, $21.00) - Delivers intense definition. Creating pencil-point precision or smudgy, saturated color, the creamy-soft formula glides on lids without tugging or pulling.

PÜR THE COMPLEXION AUTHORITY X-Faux Lips Plumping Lip Exfoliator (0.01oz, $17.00) - Raw sugar and exfoliating beads buff away dead surface cells while shea butter softens and moisturizes lips for a softer, smoother, plumper lip.

CROWN PRO Trio Brush Set ($29.99) - This 3-piece professional brush trio contours your face to perfection. The small brush can be used to conceal imperfections and highlight underneath the eyes. The medium brush can be used to sculpt the cheekbones and perimeter of the face, while the large powder brush can be used to set everything in place.

My dream of owning the Naked highlighter palette was the whole reason I signed up for this month's box. I was so scared I would either miss out altogether or get the box variation which had an alternative that I didn't really want. This has some beautiful all-over colors. The pressed powders crumble super easy for when you'd rather use them as loose powders. They have a smooth, velvety finish. That being said, I'm a makeup dummy despite the hundreds of tutorials I watch, so... now I look like a glimmering unicorn wannabe. All's I need now is a horn.



This Cover FX shimmer cream is stunning. When I applied it to my eyelids, despite claims to the contrary, it burned. That being said, it went on smooth, dried quickly, and didn't budge or crease. And I probably shouldn't have, but I bought two more in other shades.

Vintage Cosmetics' eye pencil goes on smoothly and hugs the lash line really nice. Vintage is one of the newer companies I've discovered and this makes me want to try more.

The PÜR lip exfoliator was actually not the item variation I was hoping for in this box, but I LOVE it! It's my new go-to lip product. It tastes fantastic, piña colada-y, which is great because I absolutely never wash off a lip scrub like I'm supposed to. It did a lovely job sloughing the dead skin off of my lips and they felt very moisturized.

These Crown makeup brushes are SO soft and still firm enough to blend makeup perfectly. My new favorite beauty tool find!

This February 2018 box has a total value of $135.98. I honestly don't know if I've ever been happier with a subscription. I adore getting to try new brands, and four of these are relatively new to me. For the quality and value, you can't do much better than BOXYCHARM.
