The Unboxing Begins
As the video commences, we see James Charles struggling to lift the hefty $2000 makeup mystery box. The excitement in his voice is palpable as he delves into the unboxing process, expressing his skepticism about the concept of mystery boxes in general.
Previous Experiences
James Charles recalls his past encounters with makeup mystery boxes, ranging from a $500 box to a $1000 box. Despite his initial reservations, he acknowledges the allure of these videos for his audience, highlighting the element of surprise and anticipation that comes with unboxing unknown items.
The Anticipation Builds
With a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, James Charles proceeds to open the $2000 makeup mystery box, unsure of what treasures or disappointments lie within. The thrill of uncovering hidden gems or rare finds keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.
The Value Proposition
One of the key aspects of makeup mystery boxes is the promise that the sum of the box’s contents will equal or surpass the amount paid. In this case, the $2000 spent on the box is expected to yield a collection of makeup products worth at least that much, if not more.
The Unveiling of Surprises
As James Charles delves deeper into the mystery box, viewers are treated to a visual spectacle of beauty products ranging from familiar brands to potentially obscure items. The element of unpredictability adds an air of suspense to the unboxing experience.
Unboxing the Mystery Box
The moment I received the $2000 makeup mystery box from the influencer, I knew I was in for a treat. Excitement and anticipation flowed through me as I started unboxing the package, wondering what treasures lay within.
Assessing the Contents
As I delved deeper into the mystery box, I couldn’t help but be slightly disappointed. The assortment of makeup products seemed random and disjointed, not quite the curated selection I had hoped for. It felt as though the items were simply thrown together without much thought or consideration.
The Value Proposition
Considering the hefty price tag of the mystery box, I expected each item to be worth its weight in gold. Unfortunately, as I tallied up the estimated retail value of the products, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I may have overpaid for what I received. The promise of a “full face or two” seemed like a far-fetched exaggeration.
The Controversial Note
The note that accompanied the mystery box added another layer of complexity to the situation. The influencer’s request to keep her name out of the video seemed suspicious, especially when coupled with a scathing remark about the contents of the box. It left me pondering the true intentions behind this extravagant gesture.
Unpacking the Mystery Box
Looking inside we have a ton of packing material, this is literally hell on Earth. Do you wear wigs? Oh wig, okay, wig did you just say wig? Yes, I know Ilia blue light, mist huh.

The Excitement of Unboxing
This used to be a cult classic staple, and it has been years since I picked this up. Let’s see what’s inside this mystery box. Okay, I’m not hung over and don’t need replenishing, but priming could be beneficial at the moment. This product was probably sitting in a drawer somewhere for years before the influencer decided to include it in this box.
The Unveiling of B, Perfect Cosmetics
I am actually very excited to try this product. It is from B, Perfect Cosmetics, and the packaging is absolutely stunning. It’s the Chroma Cover Matte Foundation in the shade N3. Upon application, it seems to be a good match for me. I squeeze a bit out onto my palette and start to apply it using my foundation brush. The coverage is incredible, and it smells amazing too. This foundation may become a new favorite.
Exploring Lancome Tinel Ultrawear Concealer
Moving on to the Lancome Tinel Ultrawear All Over Concealer. The DOA applicator is top-notch, and there’s even a lighter shade included. I use this to highlight and blend it out for a flawless finish. The combination of the foundation and concealer has left my skin looking amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
Finishing Touches with Patrick T Palette
To complete the look, I reach for the little Patrick T palette included in the mystery box. I decide to use the blush to add a pop of color to my cheeks. The overall look is coming together beautifully, and I am thoroughly impressed with the products included in this mystery box. It’s safe to say that my makeup game has been elevated, thanks to this purchase.
The $2000 Makeup Mystery Box
When I received the $2000 Makeup Mystery Box from the influencer I had purchased it from, I couldn’t contain my excitement. The anticipation of trying out new and possibly luxurious makeup products was exhilarating.
The Application Process
As I started applying the makeup from the mystery box, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity. The pinky shade I chose seemed promising at first, but as I blended it out, I wasn’t entirely convinced. The coverage of the foundation was impressive, but the concealer seemed lacking in comparison.
The Setting Powder Dilemma
Setting my makeup in place with the SE air set radiant translucent setting powder was a bit of a dilemma for me. While the product claimed to provide a radiant finish, I wasn’t particularly fond of a shimmery look. Although the setting powder did what it advertised, it just wasn’t my preference.
Contouring with the Belgian Waffle Palette
Turning to the Belgian waffle palette for contouring, I felt a sense of excitement. Using shades like batter up and cinnamon to chisel out my cheekbones was a pleasant experience. The end result was a beautifully contoured face that I couldn’t help but admire.
The Unboxing Experience
Labs blush Ive, never tried these before. Actually Im excited to use this. I know this has gotten quite a lot of on Tik Tok, especially because the packaging, I actually think, is very cute, but the old ones of these used to be like double the size, and I think that the price has remained the same. So thats, not good.
Mix of Excitement and Disappointment
Thats thats never good so lets see, though, lets see how this actually performs on my face: ooh thats, okay, I feel, like Ive, heard really good things about this and I do like it Im, certainly not like disappointed by it, but Im not as impressed as I Anticipated being this is the only brow product that I got huh the brow glue, I dont actually have anything to fill them in Ardell brow.
Unexpected Issues
Glue, Ive, never tried this before instant lamination. These are always great before you start off your makeup routine. Oh, my God see this drives me crazy. Every time these stupid glues, they always take off the foundation above the eyebrows, like you, could literally see where the glue is. That is just not good. Who wants that?
A Quest for the Perfect Brow Product
Okay, Im going to need to like use something to fill these in. Obviously, because that looks like crazy use. A little marker hold on brows are done. This is the best that were going to get for today, not too bad. This glue sucks, it is holding them in place nicely, which is great, but this like makes me really want to invent a bombass brow gel or maybe even a brow glue for painted that just like doesnt do this, maybe Im delusional here, because obviously this happens.
Trying Out the B Perfect Amplified Palette
Every single time, so maybe its not possible, but Im gon na figure it out because I’m so sick of a brow glue that just takes off everything underneath for eyeshadow today we’re going to use this B perfect Amplified palette, and I am so excited because this is so pretty to me. I love the gray tones. I don’t play with shades like this that often. This shade, like delay, holler intense. I want to do something here. I don’t know what it is yet, but I’m going to do something.
This video is already getting super long, so I’m just going to speed through the shadow look but I’ll see you guys guys in a couple of minutes. We’re back. Both eyes are now complete and you guys I’m being so serious when I say this might be like one of my new favorite palettes. The shades in this are just so pretty. I don’t think that I’ve like ever really done a gray eyeshadow look like this and it’s stunning. This is so beautiful. I feel like it’s keeping very matte, very 90s vibes. Like I love this. It is so so cool.
Experimenting with Lashes and Mascara
Let’s move on to the next step, which is going to be lashes and mascara. Now, for mascara we have two different options: we have the Benefit FanFest and then we also have this Refi mascara. Now this has been going viral all over Tik Tok, because look at how crazy this mascara wand is. It’s like curved, seen that before. I’m just like so curious to see how this is going to work when it’s actually applying to my lashes.
Exploring the Makeup Wand
Now, if you actually look really really closely you zoom all the way in the bristles on this end are much longer and the ones at the tip are much shorter, which I think is basically so you can use it to hug your eye and get more product Focused on the outer corners or something honestly, I dont know Im talking out of my ass Im, just like making a guess here, but lets see. Oh no. I hate this wand, it like its not actually easy to apply the product and what really sucks is honestly.
The Formula
The formula, I think, is pretty good, like look at that that actually did a really nice job of like keeping the lashes, nice and lifted and gorgeous and separated like its its a nice formula. Just this wand is like a little hard to use Im going to grab my fan fast and Im going to see if I can do like a nice second coat. On top of this, that looks amazing, hello, oh its!
Mascara Lashes
So pretty you guys, I feel so nice. I love this little makeup. Look. I have several different pairs of lashes from the mystery box today, but honestly, I think that I want to skip out on lashes. I think that this looks very pretty, and I think that, although these lashes are a nice style that I would have enjoyed several years ago, theyre just big theyre, so gigantic. And I really like this shadow look and how beautiful and like minimalist it is.
The Giant Lash Skip
I don’t want to take away from the entire thing, with the gigantic lash, so we’re going to skip.
Let’s Talk Lips
Moving on to lips – we’re almost done. A lip liner was not included in this little box, so I am going to do a little bit of my own. I’m going to grab Mac Stone to match the nice gray vibes that we have going on. That color is so pretty and now, on top, we’re going to grab the Huda Beauty faux filler lip gloss.
Excitement for Huda Lip Gloss
I’m really excited to try this, because these have been all over my for you page. These are a brand new launch from Huda. I will say this is not the most ideal color that I would have selected and it seems like she got the PR package and said this one’s ugly, so we’re going to talk it into there.
Huda Beauty Formula
But apparently this gloss is like the best formula ever or so Huda claims and she’s usually right so I’m down, let’s see. Wow wow wow. I don’t know if you guys have ever really noticed this in my videos, but I never wear lip gloss. The sensation of it really bothers me. I don’t know why, but I just hate when my lips feel like they’re going to stick together. They get crusty so quickly. You can just feel it smacking around. That’s not my vibe, but this is the best my lips have ever felt with the gloss on. I’m blown away.
The Ilia Blue Light Filter
Huda did not lie. Oh my God. She ate this up: okay, okay, all right, Miss Huda last but not least, set this in place. Okay with our nice, Ilia, blue light, filter, protect and set Mist shut. The up, like shut up, obviously were all addicted to our phones, but the fact that youre trying to convince us that staring at our phone for the day is enough blue light to give us skin problems. Please please, but thank God, thank God. This Ilia, blue light filter. So that way I can stare at my phone all day long and it will not disrupt my makeup. I will say it feels very nice. The sensation is nice, the smell is nice. I dont know if its going to do anything. Well, its not going to do anything. Tell you that right now, but my makeup is set, this look is done, and that is my full face of makeup, using only products from a $2000 Mystery Box, all complete.
The Unboxing Experience
Oh my God. This has been quite the roller coaster. Today, I was very scared to spend $2000. I had no idea how this unboxing was going to go, but we had some weird things. We had some decent things, but overall, I would say most in this package were really really good. A lot of items that I was excited to try I mean clearly look at the final makeup look, I feel so beautiful right now. This is a great great.
The $2000 Makeup Mystery Box
The $2000 makeup mystery box purchased from an influencer proved to be a great final result. Out of the three mystery boxes reviewed so far, this one was definitely the most worth the money spent. Even though it was the most expensive, the amount and quality of products received justified the cost.
An Influencer’s Profit
As it turns out, the influencer who curated this mystery box made a profit of $2000 from it. All the makeup products included in the box were originally free to her, showcasing the balance of expenses and gains in the influencer industry. Although the influencer remains unnamed in the review, the impact of her curated mystery box is undeniable.
Thoughts on the Brands
Upon realizing that the influencer had made a substantial profit off of free products, the reviewer contemplates reaching out to the brands involved. Perhaps suggesting that the brands reconsider sending PR packages to such influencers could be a topic of discussion for another day. However, the focus remains on the positive outcome of the mystery box.
Future Mystery Box Videos
While reflecting on the experience of unboxing the $2000 makeup mystery box, the reviewer expresses reluctance to invest more money in similar endeavors. The idea of spending even more on future mystery boxes seems daunting, with an exaggerated exclamation of “No! No! No! No!” It seems that the limit has been reached in terms of mystery box expenditures.

Unboxing the Mystery Box
Upon receiving the $2000 makeup mystery box from the influencer, excitement coursed through my veins. The box was wrapped in lavish packaging, adorned with glitter and the influencer’s logo. Opening it felt like unwrapping a treasure chest, filled with promises of high-end beauty products and exclusive items.
The Contents Revealed
As I lifted the lid, a wave of emotions washed over me. The first item I laid my eyes on was a designer makeup palette, with shades that shimmered like precious gemstones. Next to it, there were lipsticks in shades that I had only dreamed of wearing. The box contained a mix of skincare products, from luxurious serums to hydrating masks, all with price tags that made my jaw drop.
Quality vs. Quantity
However, as I delved deeper into the mystery box, I couldn’t shake off the nagging feeling that something was amiss. While the products were undoubtedly high-end and luxurious, I couldn’t help but wonder if the influencer had focused more on quantity rather than quality. Some items seemed out of place or duplicated, leaving me questioning the true value of the box.
The Influencer Factor
It was hard to ignore the influence the influencer had on my perception of the mystery box. Their name and reputation had built up my expectations, leading me to overlook any shortcomings or discrepancies in the contents. The allure of owning products curated by someone so influential in the beauty industry overshadowed any doubts I had about the box.
The Aftermath
After exploring the contents of the $2000 makeup mystery box, I was left with a mix of emotions. On one hand, I was thrilled to own high-end beauty products that I would never have purchased myself. On the other hand, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of slight disappointment at the lack of coherence and thoughtfulness in the curation. As I pondered the value of the box, I couldn’t help but wonder if the influencer factor had clouded my judgment.
Upon revealing the final contents of the $2000 makeup mystery box, James Charles delivers his on whether the value proposition has been met. The culmination of surprises, delights, and perhaps a few letdowns, encapsulates the essence of the mystery box phenomenon.
In the end, as I reflected on my experience with the $2000 makeup mystery box from the influencer, I couldn’t help but feel conflicted. While the thrill of unboxing and exploring new makeup products was undeniable, the overall value proposition and questionable motives left me with a sense of bewilderment. Perhaps next time, I’ll think twice before splurging on such extravagant offerings in the world of influencers.
Despite encountering some products that didn’t quite meet my expectations, the $2000 Makeup Mystery Box was an intriguing experience. While not every item was to my liking, the journey of exploring new makeup products was definitely worth it.
