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.

I see, @lmaster. I’ve been with Ipsy for 4 years now. I wonder if I got the email and didn’t notice. Lol. Oh well. The second it’s available, I’m subscribing.

I've never given Ipsy much of a second glance, but that's a really nice bag! I am totally gaga over the palette, of course 😍😍😍😋

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

@RGbrown I’ve always been a fan of ipsy! But the Glam Bag Plus is a better choice for me right now because I tend to be more excited about using the full sizes. The sample sizes were just not getting used up.

you are so lucky you didn't get that balm to oil crap @Mcakes it was terrible, like cement, couldn't get it out of the tube hardly and the little amount I did get out,,,I hated everything about it! enjoy your awesome box!

RE: you are so lucky you didn't get that balm to oil crap @Mc...

Oh no @lmaster !! That’s a bummer you didn’t like that. It doesn’t sound like something I’d like either lol. Hopefully your next box is better!

Re: RE: you are so lucky you didn't get that balm to oil crap @Mc...

@Mcakes yeah I was disappointed, but the rest of the box made up for it!

My K-BEAUTY Play Smarts box arrived yesterday.

My first impressions.

I understand where they were going with the bag but it's a miss for me.... I don't see myself getting much use out of it. If you want to try any of these products or you love these products, it's worth it. I'm on the fence. I haven't tried the Saturday Skin, belief eye cream, and the CC cream. I know I like the Glow Recipe mask and the Laneige lip mask. The belief moisture bomb is too heavy for me but I like to have it on hand during the winter just in case. For me, this is one of the better Smart boxes put out but it's not a must buy. It was barely worth the $20 price tag for me. (@CookieGirl1 here is my review)🙂

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

This looks so good to me, @Lazybeautybeast!  I seriously love all these products! ❤️

 

I am so sorry you didn't love this box! 😞

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

I'm sorry you didn't love it @Lazybeautybeast - Would love your thoughts when you try the cc cream though I've been curious about that one for a while !

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

@Lazybeautybeast I'm sorry that the box was a bit of a dud for you.  I didn't end up ordering it and in retrospect I'm glad that I didn't.  I already own the full size of the lip mask and the Saturday Skin gel (which I do like, at least), the Erborean cream isn't very interesting to me, and I prefer the Aqua Bomb over the Moisture Bomb as well.  I've wanted to try the GlowRecipe mask but that alone wouldn't really justify the cost of the box for me.  Hopefully you'll enjoy the products that you haven't tried, at least!  *Thx for tagging me 🙂

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

Thanks for posting this. I ordered this and should be receiving it today. I mainly purchased it for the Laneige lip mask and watermelon overnight mask because I have been really wanting to try them... The Saturday Skin and CC Cream look interesting to try out. I already own the Belif moisturizer and a deluxe size of the eye cream. I have really enjoyed using them and they have both lasted me a long time since you need so little! Not sure If the $20 price tag is justified since the value is only said to be $35. The items do look tiny. Maybe $15-$18 would have been a better price. Also the bag is pretty hideous and I don’t see myself using it.. will probably give to my 2 year old daughter lol.

Shades of orange for the October Lip Monthly! Loving the cute print on the bag! Excited to try the Luna By Luna Lip oil.

those colors are my favorite! @KrishAtl

Waiting on my Sephora Play! box (#967). Happy about the mini All Nighter, already know that I like the lippie, interested in trying the primer (great timing, I literally have a few uses left in the one I'm currently using) , and *gasp* the foundation MIGHT ACTUALLY MATCH ME!!! Not a huge fan of the perfume or the cleanser but that's life. Now I wait...

Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine...

Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine is scheduled for delivery on Saturday. 🤷 I haven't seen what I'm getting yet.

Re: Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine...

@Lazybeautybeast you can actually see your box's products under your account on the website; today was the first day that the site showed October's products instead of September's. 

Re: Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine...

Thanks @CookieGirl1. Looks like I'm getting box 991. It is almost the same as yours but I'll get the Clinque lippie and a different fragrance (the Replica one). I've tried the UD All Nighter and the Soy Face Wash. I'm hoping MUFE is a good shade match. I was hoping it get it. 

Re: Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine...

@Lazybeautybeast I like some of the Replica fragrances pretty well and that's actually the perfume I was hoping to get.  Guess we'll see if the foundation works for either of us!  By the way, did you get your K-Beauty Box yet?

Re: Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine...

@CookieGirl1 I got it earlier today. I'm getting pictures ready. They'll be shortly. 🙂
