We have confirmed May 2019 BoxyCharm brand spoilers thanks to Yosef!
(If you aren't familiar Boxycharm is a beauty + makeup subscription box that sends 5 full-size items each month for $21. It was voted the #1 Makeup Subscription Box by MSA readers, and won places in many categories in the 2019 Subscription Box Awards!)
The sneak peek are the brands GlamGlow + First Aid Beauty. That may mean that subscribers will receive one product from either brand but not a product from both brands. Still TBD!
If you sign up now, the April FOMO box will be your first box. Click here to see exactly what you'll receive. (Also, it looks like Boxycharm is doing a FOMO box every month for new subscribers, so to get the regular May subscriber box, you would need to start a subscription in April if you don't already have one.)
BoxyCharm ($32 per month) is one of the most popular beauty subscription boxes that we review, with lots of loyal customers. They promise 5 full-size beauty products each month from a variety of both indie and... read more.

Preferred boxycharm when they didn’t have all these variations that are usually not even equal value 🙁

I really enjoy both products, but I have a lot of FAB products already, so I’m hoping for Glamglow

Oh no! I was joking about doing everything possible to stay on Boxy’s good list, including staying with Luxe though I didn’t like the last one, and not cancelling for the April box though I didn’t like anything. I was a variation 1 and 2 for years. Just got my box and I got variation 14. Looks like it’s crappy eyeliners for me from now on.

Same here! I was variation #1 for over four years except maybe one time. I was shocked to see the #14 in April. I almost unsubbed last month but wanted to wait for the skincare box. I probably should’ve just done it because the skincare box is bound to be another disaster where not everyone can get one. I’ve been putting off leaving Boxy ever since the first Luxe fiasco. I need to just go ahead and unsubscribe. Especially now that I’ve been moved to the bottom of the variations. They really don’t value customers that have been with them for a long time.

Maybe try Beautyfix or testtube beauty.

How do you know what variation you will receive? I started a new one because I finally received my first boxy luxe in March and it was AWFUL! NOT WORTH ALMOST 50 BUCKS! In my profile I specifically said I do not want mail products and they sent it anyways
…. the pallet in the luxe was awful as well…. the colors and all…. I PURPOSLY missed the April box after seeing that HIDEOUS pur pallet…. I mean the colors where something only a clown would wear! Last but not least THE BAG SMELLED LIKE STRAIGHT FISHY! ITS AWFUL IVE HAD IT A MONTH AND THE SMELL STILL WONT GO AWAY…. I emailed them and they refuse to do anything about it…. I have always loved my boxy charm box…. but these last 2 have been by far the WORST!

I did not like anything in my April box and I only got 4 items, they forgot to include the eyeliner pencil. It was on the card so figured that is what was missing. I am cancelling. I tried the Pur pallet and the purple would not even show up on my eyes. Too many eye pallets, too many highlighters, too much of the same thing. I like my new subscription to Sephora Play, think I am going to try FitFabFun.

You’re not missing out with that eyeliner

Maybe your set on make up then for a while. People sign up to get palettes and other stuff. Some people are just signing up. Maybe try a skincare or a hair care box. What do you expect from a make up box?

Ill get a StarLooks piece of cràp black felt tip liner worth $0.73 and has a suggested retail of $49 😂

I’m ok with either brand. I hope I get the Glamglow because I could really use a cleanser. My box came yesterday and I’m so happy that I got the Steve Laurant lip gloss. It’s so nice!!

I love some FAB products but I’m well stocked on their cleanser and don’t care for ultra repair cream. Glamglow is great except for the acne formulas that are drying on my skin.

I think it’s funny that they are doing a FOMO box every month. I found that every month I got the box was kind of a FOWIG (Fear Of What I Got) Box compared to others… I would get the wrong color and the loser brand of the choices. I just could not take it anymore. I understand that the whole idea is to try new things, but I just felt like I always got the orange lippie!

Yes FAB please!!!

In other words half of us get glam glow & fab and the rest will get old brown lippies or pur palettes😂😂😂 I’m kidding….

The really disliked subscribers will get stuff from the new Manna Kaddar skin care line!

Kidding? But true lol. They probably have 3 glam glows and 3 FAB all for influencers of course. Prolly get a Bella Pierre cream lol

I completely get it. I’ve been lucky enough to usually get a pretty good variation, and I’m so scared of screwing something up and getting off their good list. So ended up getting this last BoxyLuxe even though it wasn’t that good and didn’t like the April Box spoilers either. But I’m not getting off their good list. Still didn’t get the Tarte Sizzle Palette though, I’m not THAT lucky.

Lmao soooo true!! 🤣🤣🤣
