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.

October Facetory. Always one of my favorite boxes!! The Meg. jelly mask is one of my favorite masks out there!!! So thrilled to get it!

[Tamara76]

The banana mask looks awesome! ❤️  @KrishAtl

[Kim888]

@KrishAtl I love the meg masks as well! Omg i tried the banana one the other day and it actually smells like bananas! Loved it 

[KrishAtl]

Oh wow!  Don’t know the banana mask by Meg @Kim888.  I will definitely have to find that one!!

[lmaster]

you got some awesome looking masks there @KrishAtl

[KrishAtl]

I can’t decide which one to try first @lmaster.  They all look sooo great!  This Meg. mask is one of my favs, so won’t go for that one first.  Can’t wait to dig into the ones I haven’t tried yet!

[KrishAtl]

This month’s Allure is sooo good!

[Luvstravel]

@KrishAtl, I canceled my PLAY last year and haven't had a monthly box since. After seeing this Allure box, I subscribed! It did advise on my checkout that I would receive this October box 🙂 Seems like I will like this monthly box a little more than my Play.

[Luvstravel]

@eshoe and @KrishAtl thanks for the feedback. I'm looking forward to it.

[eshoe]

@Luvstravel I have subbed to Allure for quite a while now, over a year though I did skip August. The brands are mostly all well known, and I use almost everything just about every month! The value is always there and FS products are sometimes included. 💗 it!

[KrishAtl]

@Luvstravel.  I have loved every single Allure box since joining in May.  I hope you feel the same way!

[eshoe]

Which color YSL did you get, @KrishAtl? I got 16 and 💗 it, even though it’s much bolder than what I usually reach for. The bkr balm is great for masking at night, the pot is pretty tiny but will be repurposed for sure😊

[KrishAtl]

I got YSL 23 @eshoe.  They color looks great, so Iam happy!  I was expecting the bkr to be a bit bigger, but since it is a lip balm I am thinking this sample might last a while.  Looking forward to trying it!

[lmaster]

@eshoe I am loving the bkr balm! so glad a sample was included this month!

Ipsy October bag. Mac Lip gloss in OhBaby. It'san OG lip gloss I worn many years ago. The Sunday nail color is fall fitting. I haven't worn it yet. No offensive smell as I have experienced with a couple 10-free nail polishes.

[Tamara76]

Ohhhhh - You got some awesome things in your bag, @IndyQT317! ❤️

[eshoe]

That bag is really cute, @IndyQT317. Reminds me of the Crème Shop Eye masks!

[IndyQT317]

Allure October box. YSL Tatouage Couture Matte Liquid Lip Stain

[Tamara76]

This looks like another amazing box, @IndyQT317! ❤️

[CookieGirl1]

@IndyQT317 Ooh, I like the YSL color.  

[eshoe]

This box is sooooo good this month! Which YSL color did you get, @IndyQT317?
