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.

The Pina Colada caught my eye; enjoy your masks @KrishAtl !

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

Thanks @ElleElle.  They all look so fun!  Can’t decide which to use first!

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

@KrishAtl Enjoy 😊 your goodies!

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

Thanks @keana1. I’m really excited to try these out!

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

Some changes coming to BoxyCharm.....

 

BoxyCharm Subscription UpdateBoxyCharm Subscription Update

 

....thoughts?

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

Caught an IG story where they said more details will come out this week.

 

They did say that the upgrade will only be available for current subscribers & that the interest in the LE box this past holiday was what gave them the idea.  Current subscription will still be $21/month.

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

Hmmmm...not sure what to think. Like others have said, I’m a little nervous about the change because I hope the regular box doesn’t decline in quality as a result. I’m not sure I can afford the luxe box unless I drop my other subscriptions. 

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

The price point is definitely something to think about @PrettyPaint ! I wonder if they'll still discount the price of the subscription if you subscribe for a longer period (3 mos., 6 mos., etc.). We'll have to keep our eyes open to see how this change comes into fruition.

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

@ElleElleG  I was ready to cancel because there is not one item in the July Box that I want/can use, but now I'm not sure.

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

😔😔 sorry @Ispend2much6 

 

Are you worried about canceling and not being able to get back on if you see something you like? 

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

@ElleElleG  Yes, that's always my issue.  As if things will disappear forever, or I'll miss out on the best deal...

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

If you're using the items then that's not so bad but if they're just hanging around then perhaps not worth it @Ispend2much6

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

@ElleElleG  You are ever the voice of reason. 🙂  Good point.

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

Only on occassion @Ispend2much6 😜

I think it's interesting. I'm imagining it will be similar to the FFF add-on system.

Re: I think it's interesting. I'm imagining it will be simila...

That's a possibility!

 

I have to admit my antennas were raised and not necessarily in a good way @Lazybeautybeast.  Will they lessen the regular box to increase the difference between the levels to encourage people to spend more?  Will these extra items be from brands people are less familiar with but have a "high" price tag (ex. those Aesthetica brushes with the supposed retail value of $45)..... I'm thinking of the Limited Edition box fiasco: received a lot of hype, issues signing up, & then the products fell WELL short (at least in my opinion/the opinion I saw most across social media).

RE: Re: I think it's interesting. I'm imagining it will be simila...

@ElleElleG I agree it deff seems slightly suspicious. They claim the base items for the box will be the same with just extras but I could see the really good stuff only being for the more expensive box.

Re: RE: Re: I think it's interesting. I'm imagining it will be simila...

Yes @Kim888 like reserving more popular brands to the more expensive box.

Finally!!! This palette is legit! Beautiful swatches! I'm super pumped to test drive most of this tomorrow!!!

@Lazybeautybeast That is a great box! The palette looks i...

@Lazybeautybeast That is a great box! The palette looks interesting too. I love those Luxie brushes. Enjoy!

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

i got this box too...and...well...i don't love anything? i think this is the first month where there hasn't been a single product that made me scream YASSSSS!

 

i will totally use 2 of the 3 luxie brushes and the 3rd will go into the stash i have for little miss so she stays out of mine.  i'll use the bum bum cream but i'm in the minority that doesn't actually like the scent.  the shadow palette is super pretty and i'm sure its amazing but i haven't really been wearing shadows a lot so i dont even want to dip into it.  i don't wear lashes and as we all know i'm over liquid lipsticks like i'm over hearing my 14 year old complain about the nba playoff results.

 

i know i've been debating for a while whether or not to cancel my boxycharm.  despite this box i've decided to keep going for now i find that knowing i'm getting the boxycharm has really helped me curb my other spending and typically there is something that makes the box worth it for me.
