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.

Wow!!!  Great value on that Allure box!   @ElleElleG

[DEL28]

You got the lippie I wanted;) great boxes🤗

[darlyndar]

Soooo excited for my Allure box! Full sized Sunday Riley has made this my favorite month so far out of all 4 I get. ❤️❤️❤️

I'm a little behind because of some traveling but I got my play! and Boxycharm earlier this week. I'm so happy with the items in my Play box!! It had 3 products that I had never tried and I'm really excited about, the supercleanse (which have tried before and have mixed feels about) and one (the Briogeo deep conditioning mask) that I know I love! Best of all, NO fragrance sample!!! What a great change of pace. I'm excited to experiment with the Boxycharm products as well. I'm trying to decide if I want to give away the lip plumper or try it....I have pretty big lips so I don't know that it will be for me. The Dr. Brandt primer will probably go in my overflow bin for a while because I already have quite a few primers I'm trying to get through. But overall I'm happy with both!

@Lazybeautybeast That Anastasia lipstick shade looks like it would be gorgeous!

[darlyndar]

Finally found out what’s in my January Play! bag! I’m actually really excited for everything! I’ve been wanting to try the Clinique Pep-Start and Primerizer. Suuuuuper excited to finally have the opportunity without having to purchase full size! ❤️❤️❤️

How do you find out?

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Target Jan box - 

I think this is still available, actually, which is ironic because I remember these would sell out within the hour   

[nikki]

@ZombieMetroAnt Mine just arrived too! Although the body wash leaked all over. I emailed Target to see if there was anything They could do about it. 

[ElleElleG]

That is surprising @ZombieMetroAnt! It was like a siren went off when those boxes became available in the past LOL

[jen81]

Got my January Allure beauty box! 

[ElleElleG]

Looks like the DSs are different  @Jen81 @ZombieMetroAnt

[Lainakat]

I love my allure box!!!

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Nice @jen81   Mine arrived yesterday even though I had just received the email notification that morning saying it was on it's way - talk about lightening speed delivery LOL

[jen81]

@ZombieMetroAnt Did you get a different eyeliner? It looks like one that was in a past box? 

[breakingbad]

Allure completely screwed me over. I joined January 2nd and after they took my money, got no info. I sent emails and recieved no answer and when I called today the customer service rep was so nasty to me and basically told me they had no idea when I would be getting my box or which one it would be. I questioned how they could take my money and not send anything or even an email and the customer service rep was so rude I asked to cancel my order. Never again!

[ElleElleG]

Sorry to hear you two have had negative experiences 🙁

[Acha]

I had a similar experience last time. The CS was talking with so much attitude. I ended up cancelling my subs as well while talking with her.

[Mcakes]

Got my ipsy bag today! I’m really happy that I will be able to use every single thing in here. The brush is gorgeous 😍

[SchylarR]

@Mcakes So excited!!! I got that brush too!

[CC3616]

@Mcakes Love that brush, you got a great bag!
