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.

They have always had that quiz. Its always in the emails. It's also on their website.

[Kim888]

Yay glad it shipped early for you this month! I think My email asked me to fill out that quiz last month 🤔

[Lazybeautybeast]

I'm glad they are sending yours early @sparklekai! I remember seeing that quiz last month but I didn't actually go take it. Hopefully, I see my email in the next day or 2. I usually get shipping on the 8th.

[sparklekai]

@Lazybeautybeast, @Kim888 - i'm glad i got shipped early as well! especially after last month!!!! i'm interested to see if the quiz changes anything! they actually asked about skin type, colouring & preferences

[ZombieMetroAnt]

WOWZA!  Pur listed the LE shadow palette on their site!  That is a crazy price   it sure makes the $21 Boxycharm sub more reasonable in cost. 

[PrettyPaint]

I have high hopes for this palette! I hope my box ships soon! 🙂

[Mcakes]

I am so excited to get this palette in the mail! Very happy that I re-subbed to Boxy. I was reading comments on MSA about how they un-subbed for getting too many palettes...what? I would be thrilled to get a palette in every box 😄 

[Shosh85]

@Mcakes That’s my favorite part about BoxyCharm!! 🤔

I love getting full sized palettes, and usually the palettes themselves are worth more than the subscription cost! 🙌

[Lazybeautybeast]

Possible future or LE item for boxycharm from MSA

[Kim888]

I’m definitely starting to get brush overload - I really liked when we got that dr jart scrub I hope we see more skin care like that soon!

[lolchels]

Do you mean dr brandt...?

[fantaji]

The Detox Box preview for March! I've had this sunscreen in my cart for a couple months now (but I've been too in love with Kypris Heliotropic to pull the trigger), so I'm super thrilled to try it out. 

[bonnebelle]

finally after about a week or so of waiting I got my first Facetory Korean sheet mask subscription box!!! and it is even better than I hoped😍 awesome selection and so far all have left my face feel soooooo soft! (I also used code LUCKY3 and got 3 free masks with my first box)😇 if you love sheet masks and sub boxes I highly recommend checking them out! they have an awesome St Patty's day themed box for march with greens and golds I can't wait to try!💚💚💚

[Tamara76]

Fabulous!!!  @bonnebelle  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 

[Kim888]

Yay glad you like it! Love the masks from February!

[bonnebelle]

me too! I love how the focus of the month was moisture with allot of floral/rose, has really helped plump my skin up so far!😇🌹 @Kim888

[Shosh85]

This looks like a fun subscription! The St. Patrick’s day one sounds great!! @bonnebelle 😍

[bonnebelle]

yasssss love it!😍 shipping to Canada is a little much but it still works out to be cheaper than buying them locally lol @Shosh85

[Shosh85]

BoxyCharm spoiler from the MSA website. This is box variation #1

[Annalily11]

I hope I get this variation. While I'm a bit so-so on the mascara, I really want that blush color and also the eye gels.

[Ispend2much6]

I really hope I get the pink blush!
