My Thoughts: 

In all honesty, I was not impressed with this box. I was actually expecting to receive the Iconic eye palette which was one of the variation items in this month's box. Sadly I ended up receiving Becca foundation. Matching foundation shades is tricky online. Although its not a complete match but it also is not a wrong match. It does fine on its own however if mixed with one or two shades darker it would be a perfect match. The hemp wipes were pretty unwanted on my part and also the sponge. The product combination was a dud this time since two products were application products only; makeup brush trio and makeup sponge. I would have rather received a skin care item apart from hemp wipes. But this is what the beauty of mystery boxes is, you never know what you will end up receiving. 

Cost: 

I paid Rs. 6500 for this box I guess. I am not to sure but it was around this price before Corona. I buy all my Boxycharm boxes from MZ Online Shopping. I have found her to be the most reasonable of all. 

Stay healthy and beautiful. xoxo!!!
