Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

[ElleElleG]

Hi All! 

We are long overdue for an updated Subscription Sharing thread!  Whether it's BoxyCharm, Ipsy, or PopSugar we want to hear (and see) all about what you are subscribed to.

Interested in trading with other users?  Here are some things you need to know from @SydBristow and her trade threads:

Spoiler

IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with Sephora's terms of use, items cannot be listed "for sale" or even for trade for Sephora or other gift cards. Please do not list "prices" either (which implies selling), but you can list approximate trade value.

Because a number of fake items have been sent in trades, it is strongly advised you provide photos of your higher-end items, including the labeling (you may be asked for it anyway) and list WHERE you purchased the item from. Fakes are readily available from less reputable sellers and can contain toxins! It is important to everyone to know where their cosmetics come from.

Please also be aware that some makeup products cannot be sanitized - please use caution in your trades. When in doubt, ask the community, it's a great resource! Used items you may wish to avoid are mascara, liquid eyeliner, lip glosses, and cream products.

Acquiring Items
Please use discretion with whom you enter into trades with. There is a summarized list of trusted traders here: http://community.sephora.com/t5/Off-Topic/List-of-Successful-Traders-January-2015/td-p/1852954 Protect yourself in your trades, ask questions (such as where an item was purchased), ask for additional photos (to show level of usage and/or labeling to prove authenticity).
If you don’t feel 100% comfortable doing a trade because someone is new, you can request they send their items first.

Communication
Please use the private message system on Beauty Talk and/or tag the user you are trying to get in touch with. Communication is key! You can tell a lot about a trade by how the communication goes. If you will be unavailable for any periods of time, please be up front, and if there are any issues with shipping please be up front about that as well.

Delivery
Having tracking and insurance on shipments goes a long way to figuring out where an item might be. The USPS puts anticipated delivery dates and tracking numbers right on the receipt. If there is any issue with an item you have sent out, please follow up with the carrier.

I haven't tried it yet @Ispend2much6  A little nervous because I'm combo/oily and the last thing I need is all over illuminating, lol.  May have to wait until it's colder/drier out to try.

[Ispend2much6]

@ElleElleG  I understand.  My forehead is like that. 🙂  It's not bad; it's the least sparkly primer I've used.  It's way more subtle than Tom Ford's, although that is lovely in its own right.

[Kim888]

I haven’t tried it with makeup yet so that will be the true test but the nozzle on mine is working and everything - have you tried it?

[PrettyPaint]

@Kim888 I haven’t tried mine yet, but are there sometimes problems with the nozzles on these? I can’t remember if I read that somewhere or what. Maybe I had better test mine out! 

[Kim888]

@PrettyPaint I read in some reviews that it’s an issue and some people on my subscription mentioned it - hopefully it’s all good though! 

[PrettyPaint]

Thanks @Kim888. I plan to use it in the morning, so we shall see! 

[Kim888]

@ElleElleG @Lazybeautybeast mine also came today and I also got that box!! And agreed when I first looked at storm I was like I’m going to hate this but it’s such a pretty berry color on!

[ElleElleG]

We are box twins @Lazybeautybeast. Enjoy!!!

**Both spoilers now posted**

For those of you who managed to snag the LE BoxyCharm, here's a spoiler; not the full palette as believed unfortunately... For those of us who were unable to purchase the box, additional information is below. 

**A Correction to MSA's post:

Spoiler

I've seen across various platforms where people are saying the LE box will be restocked, that is not fullyaccurate. The CEO said they would try to restock the LE box but there isno guarantee that they will be able to do so as they had not plans to do so previously. Several people, myself included, asked that they cancel any orders of more than 1 box and/or non-subscriber orders to which he did not confirm whether or not this would be done. If you would like to watch/listen to his/the only response to the foolishness this link should work: https://www.facebook.com/BOXYCHARM/videos/1205673652910378/?autoplay_reason=all_page_organic_allowed...

Spoiler

He did mention that they may do a different LE box for subscribers only but my understanding is that that will only happen if they are unable to restock the original box.He did mention that they may do a different LE box for subscribers only but my understanding is that that will only happen if they are unable to restock the original box.

Edited to Add Spoiler 2

[Kim888]

I am both happy and a little disappointed haha. It would have been really cool if the cover fx spoiler was that palette we were thinking but I have always wanted to try the drops and that is such a pretty color so i'm pretty pumped! 

[ElleElleG]

@Kim888 technically these drops were in the video CoverFX shared but it's odd because the collab event they had had this palette at center focus.  Perhaps the palette will appear in a later box.

[Ispend2much6]

@ElleElleG  Some people are wondering if the Sigma item will be the Chroma palette. It's OOS, but they are wondering if it will reappear.  I have no idea.

[ElleElleG]

No clue @Ispend2much6  we should know by the end of the week though.  They mentioned on social media that they would reveal a new item each day.   

I was personally hoping it would be a brush set.

[Kim888]

that would be great as well!

Someone asked about the Popsugar Must Have Winter LE Box.... Here are some Spoilers from MSA.

[Tamara76]

Thanks, @ElleElleG!   We got to choose the color for the watch when we ordered the LE Winter box, but theydidn't show the case and it is divine!  

I really like the bag, too, but it kind of reminds me of a Victoria's Secret GWP bag I got about 10 years ago (I used the heck out of that thing until one of the handles came off).

[ElleElleG]

Thanks for sharing @trojanchick99 I've been thinking about getting the SR Serum during the sale anyways. Bonus points if they don't pull the same BS as BoxyCharm.

[KNC24]

I'm just now seeing this thread. @ElleElleG great thread!!!

[ElleElleG]

Thank you @KNC24!!
