Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

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.

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Ooh great bag @ZombieMetroAnt! I know so many people get upset with the tiny the Balm samples but I adore them. They are too cute!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I love them too, I just need to make a pallet out of them so I don’t lose them all!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@Mcakes I love the tiny Bslm samples, too! Since they all come in the same little package size, I line them up like a little bookshelf; it makes my inner organization-freak happy. And they're perfect for travel!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Lol! That sounds so cute!! Eventually I am turning our Office into a make up room and I might do that on my desk lol! It might be better if I actually make a pallet out of them though because I tend to lose them lol. They’re so cute and small!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

OMG - I love the tiny samples from The Balm, too!  They are soooo cute, @Mcakes!!!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

That is a super cute bag @Mcakes @ZombieMetroAnt. I keep my little samples of shadows, highlighters, and bronzer in a magnetic palette. They're great for playing around with new color combinations.

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Received my curated Birchbox today. I chose this box, but I didn't realize how tiny the Oribe samples are! Only .5 oz each. I think I'm finally going to cancel this sub.

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Ohhhhh - Oribe is really nice, but I'm sorry the samples were smaller than you expected!  @MachynesSister ❤️

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I love Oribe @Tamara76! I think I'm just a little spoiled by Boxycharm!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Ha! Ain’t that the truth! I love getting full size bottles and pallets. I feel like it’s worth it even if I like just one thing. 

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@MachynesSister i understand! I just canceled Birchbox last month after too experiences like that. And never really loving anything I got 

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@talifromcali I've really liked a few things they've sent me, but they've seemed to have gone downhill. I get sucked in by the spoilers, but I rarely get the items I really want!

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

oh no....I'm sorry to hear they are tiny @MachynesSister Smiley Sad  I have so much hair, this would only wash 1/3 of it.  

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I have the same issue with Sampoo and condioner samples! I really dislike when it’s not in bottles, I am like what am I supossed to do with this? Lol! I use them on my 2 year old grandson. Makes his cute curly hair look fabulous LOL

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I have pretty short hair @ZombieMetroAnt, but it's still a bummer.

Re: MSA posted the 2nd version of this months Boxycharm! Mine...

I REALLY don't want this one. My lips need plumping but they are WAY too sensitve!

Re: MSA posted the 2nd version of this months Boxycharm! Mine...

I don’t either! I find I give away most lip products and I really dislike getting eyeliners and lip liners in boxes. I feel like I get them to often, usually a brand I don’t know in a color I won’t wear.

Re: MSA posted the 2nd version of this months Boxycharm! Mine...

Do. Not. Want!  No extra plumping needed for these lips.  Kind of bummed the same face palette is included in each box, le sigh.

Re: MSA posted the 2nd version of this months Boxycharm! Mine...

@ElleElleG It seems rather thoughtless on the face palette colours, it definitely won’t work for all skin tones. 

Re: MSA posted the 2nd version of this months Boxycharm! Mine...

Sad but true!
