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.

@Shosh85  Whoa, that's a really good bag!

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @darkiceis!! They definitely aren't always great!! It's nice when I get a good one! 👍

[katkapivarci]

@Shosh85 This is the first time I wish I was subscribed to ipsy. Can’t get over the FS of HUDA lippie😱😱 awesome bag!!!

[Shosh85]

@katkapivarci Thank you!  I didn't think they ever put anything full size in these, so I was pleasantly surprised! 👌😉

[SchylarR]

Ahhhh you got the masks and the full sized Huda lippie too!!! Waaaaah! I'm so jealous! @Shosh85

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @SchylarR!!! I'm pretty happy with this one! 👌

[eshoe]

Is that a pear essential oil, @Shosh85? If so I will have to say this is quite an interesting box!

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @eshoe! Its actually a Rosehip Serum containing several other organic oils – Rosehip Oil being at the top of the list of ingredients. MInt Pear is just the brand and does not contain or smell like mint or pear 🤗 Its new to me, but has some great organic ingredients so I'm curious to try it out! 👌

[keana1]

@Shosh85 I agree with you, this box is interesting! I would definitely be happy to get a full size Huda lippie !

[Shosh85]

Thanks, @keana1!! I never expect anything full size in the Ipsy subs! 👍

Another email regarding the BoxyCharm Luxe

**This box is only available for current subscribers 

[Lazybeautybeast]

Weird... I'm not getting these emails. 🤔 Thanks @ElleElleG

[ElleElleG]

I'm no longer subscribed to BoxyCharm @Lazybeautybeast

I think @Kim888and I started getting the emails as a tactic to lure us back in.... I get more emails from them now than I did when I was subscribed 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Kim888]

@ElleElleG haha I totally agree - I've been getting like 3-4 emails a week. When i was subscribed I barely got the email my box had shipped 

[ElleElleG]

Here are the specific Juice Beauty products 

[eshoe]

I don’t think I have seen this on here yet, but Facetory is one of my favorites! This is the August 7 Lux Box, with 7 sheet masks. I tried the 4 mask sub, but feel the quality of the masks in the 7 are better overall. This is it!

There is always an informational insert that describes the benefits as well as includes instructions for each mask.

This was a little bonus this month.

Spoiler

I have been pretty impressed with their curation. I usually find at least 2 masks I really ❤️, sometimes more. I haven’t had a box yet that I dislike, though I have learned it is important to read the informative insert before using a mask, so that I use it properly 😆. 

[SchylarR]

Ahhhhhh AND IT COMES WITH STICKERS!!!! STICKERS STICKERS STICKERS!!!! @eshoe

[keana1]

@eshoe This box looks great! I hope you enjoy everything!

[eshoe]

Thank you, @keana1, the stickers are so fun, too-a nice little surprise! Most interested in the ‘Cleanse’ smoothie one, can’t wait to try it out soon 😊
