Hi folks, Today I am going to share the unboxing of my Boxycharm box for the month of May 2018. Boxycharm is an online based beauty subscription box. In each box, the subscribers receive about 4-5 full-sized makeup/skincare products/beauty tools along with a card that showcases the theme of the month, description and price of the products featured and usually a discount coupon code for one or more of the brands featured in the month. The box costs $21 per month and Boxycharm claims that the value of each box is above $100.

The wand is quite thick and has a sponge applicator tip. It houses 0.83oz of the product. I have picked the shade ‘deep’ and it is a perfect match for my skin tone. M...
