It’s been awhile since I’ve had a Boxycharm beauty subscription box in my hands. Admittedly I watch all of the unboxings and always feel so envious, especially of last month’s box. To say I’m beyond thrilled to have the May Boxycharm “Boxy Bash” in my possession would be an understatement because one of the items inside is something I’ve been dying to try out for over a year!

what’s inside
PUR Sculptor Palette ($30.00). This sculpting palette has 4 total shades – 2 high-beam highlighters and 2 matte contour shades. I loved the feel of the products and I’ve had excellent experience with this brand overall (I used to work for them!). The shades in this particular palette are on the dark side so I’ll be putting this in the give away bag for friends and family.
CoverFX Blurring Primer ($38.00). This is a lightweight, soft-focus primer that is said to blur the appearance of fine lines, pores and other imperfections to create a smoother canvas for a more flawless foundation application. I love the CoverFX Mattifying Primer and I’m really excited to pair this up with that!

Pretty Vulgar The Ink Gel Eyeliner ($24.00). Imma collect myself for a minute and just give the facts but I am SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. This is a highly-pigmented gel eyeliner that features quick-drying application with enriched vitamin C to condition the lids. The formula is creamy and water-resistant for smooth application that stays in place all day.
Aesthetica 3 Piece Eye Trio ($45.00). This trio of makeup tools includes an Angled Eyeliner Brush, a Brow Spoolie and a Fine Tipped Eyeliner Brush. Perfect for anything from a dramatic cat eye to creating fuller brows.
Aesthetica P12 Face Brush ($27.00). A synthetic fiber brush that allows maximum control. Perfect for creating a seamless look.

Han Skin Care Lip Gloss ($15.00). This moisturizing lip gloss is formulated with antioxidant rich organ and açaí oil, infused with anti-aging super-fruit extracts and vitamins to benefit your lips while delivering a beautiful color. (feels, smells and looks SO GOOD ON!). The shade I received is Nude Rose.

final thoughts
Is the May 2018 Boxycharm worth it? To me, absolutely. The Pretty Vulgar Ink Gel Eyeliner is something I’ve been wanting for quite awhile. That alone is higher than the $21 cost of this month’s box. The retail value of the entire May 2018 Boxycharm? $179.00!
I’m also a fan of the Cover FX Mattifying Primer so I’m interested to see how the Blurring Primer will do on my cheeks while the Mattifying Primer works in the t-zone. This is a pricey primer and it’s not something I’d have bought on my own on a whim. This month’s box is making it possible for me to dual-prime my little heart out!
I thought retail wise the brushes seemed over-priced if you were to buy them separately but having such pricey items in the box really helps with the overall value. I do like that the included brushes go along with the other items in the box.

I have thought about Boxycharm for a while now and this box makes me want it even more. I also would LOVE to try the CoverFX primer now that I am seeing fine lines and the pores in my nose are starting to show more. I need a good primer and good foundation.
These boxes are excellent ways to try out new things on the cheap. I love Boxycharm because you’re getting full sized products that are (for the most part) high-end. I think even the low price items are usually always brands like Colourpop and BH Cosmetics also. I’ve had a lot of sub boxes in the past with tiny samples. Some I liked but then you have to go out and buy a full size if you like it. You can get samples for free from Sephora. If you want to try full-size, then Boxycharm is the best there is!
