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 donโ€™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.

Those Lancome blushes are really pretty, @Lazybeautybeast! โค๏ธ

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

December spoilers for Allure. It looks like a great box. I'm tempted to drop play and subscribe.

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

Wow I think this box looks great! Iโ€™ve never tried ofra or juvias place so this is an awesome box for me already. I hope I get the ren! I donโ€™t use eye liner so thatโ€™s always a busy for me but the color of the lippie looks nice and Iโ€™ll deff use the makeup removing wipes

@Kim888, this will be my 2nd Allure box. Since I subscribed a few weeks back I was able to get October's box and it should be coming this week. For the next box I have the Ofra highlighter and the Nubian palette, but they are both great, so I'll be regifting those Allure box items at Christmas. I think I'll be happier with Allure boxes than I was with the Play box I canceled last year.

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

Iโ€™ve been subscribing to Allure and really like it, @Lazybeautybeast.  Thereโ€™s more skincare than the regular Play sub which is great for me.  But then I go after the special Play kits: the recent age-specific (40โ€™s, 50โ€™s etc) and the K-beauty ones.  

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

October Mask Maven is here! Theme is Creepy & Cute. I am sooo digging this box, but wish it had arrived last week to really โ€œfeelโ€ the theme. No worries, I am sure I will enjoy every minute of these masks anyway! How cute is the Bat eye mask and the ice cream sheet mask!!

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

@KrishAtl So fun!! These look so great! I have used that Bat Eye Mask a couple times already and love it!! I recently just bought ima 10 pack for $10 at Costco!! 

Enjoy your sub and have fun masking! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜‰

ooooo such fun masks! @KrishAtl ๐Ÿ˜„

ooooo such fun masks! @KrishAtl ๐Ÿ˜„

RE: ooooo such fun masks! @KrishAtl ๐Ÿ˜„

I know @lmaster. I canโ€™t figure out which one to try first! This is my favorite box always!! So many fun masks!

Re: RE: ooooo such fun masks! @KrishAtl ๐Ÿ˜„

Good luck trying to choose! ๐Ÿ˜‚ @KrishAtl

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

@KrishAtl I am soooo curious about that โ€˜Deep Power Ringerโ€™ mask lol ๐Ÿ˜‚ This looks like a great assortment of masks, hope to hear about them!

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

Yes @eshoe!! I will definitely update the masking community on my favorites from this bunch!

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

This is new!  Did everyone get this option on their Nov IPSY?  It says it's only good for 24 hrs.  You can purchase FS items for $12 or additional D.S. for $3 Heart  I like this option!

I didn't grab a snapshot but the other DS items seem to be the other samples offered this month.  The 2 F.S. products for $12 ea were a set of eye brushes or a Smashbox palette.

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

Nice!  I did not receive this option - Maybe it's not available to Glam Bag Plus subscribers?   Glad you got it, though, @ZombieMetroAnt! โค๏ธ

yep I only really went for one product they offered, but I do love the fact you can add on items like this @ZombieMetroAnt

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

I had seen something about this on Instagram but forgotten about it.  I went and looked not too much to interest me, but there was a decent selection of around 20 or so products.  Some had already sold out, but I agree, it's a great option for people who really want to try something out.  It would only be better if we could swap out one of our samples for a new one!

 

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

I've never heard of BoxyCharm before today! Which is the most worth it? Looking at the spoilers, I'm trying to decide if I should subscribe to play, allure or boxycharm...

 

I live in Canada, where most of these don't ship to, but I do have a US address to ship to. BoxyCharm does ship to Canada, so right now it's winning.

 

Does entering a referral code give me anything extra when signing up for BoxyCharm? Does anyone have a referral code they want to send me? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ 

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

I love Boxycharm and have been a long time subscriber. I recently started Allure as well and most of it is sample sizes but sometimes you get full size products. With Boxycharm you always get full size products.

@rrroxanne, I really enjoy my Play and Allure subscriptions, mostly because of the brands they include. I have also tried Ipsy and Birchbox and just found with those that there were more items I didn't like than did. I'm also in the US, and haven't given BoxyCharm a try.

subscribe to all lol @rrroxanne I'm sorry they are all great! my favorite is probably very close between allure and boxycharm
