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.

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

I was soooooo excited to receive my Winter Popsugar Must Have Box yesterday!!!!

Spoiler
1.  Uncommon James Handmade Cotton Fringe Throw:  This throw is gorgeous and I was surprised to discover that Uncommon James is Kristin Cavallari's brand!
2.  Wander Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks:  Yes!!!!   I love these!!!!
3.  Ellia Jet Lag Essential Oil Roll-On:  Wow!  This is amazing!  It smells like peppermint and lemongrass and gave me an instant boost!
4.  Lumify Redness Reliver Eye Drops: They work well, but are awfully expensive so I don't think I'll purchase!
5.  Kate Spade Desktop Easel Calendar:  This is super cute and the cards for each month are amazing quality - super thick paper - I love it!
6.  Apotheke Brooklyn Tabacco Blossom Candle:  This candle is beautiful and it smells so lovely - it is supposed to be a mix of cognac, anise, vanilla, chestnut and embers, but I think it smells like vanilla and baby powder.
7.  Reese Witherspoon Whiskey in a Teacup Book:  Yaaassss!!!!  I have been wanting this book and can't wait to dig in!  There are recipes, y'all!
8.  Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle Eau de Parfum Rollerball:  This smells so lovely, but is not at all like the original Beautiful - It has lychee, mimosa, rose, orange, gardenia and marzipan - LOVE!
9.  Winky Lux Sugar Kitten Palette:  This palette is super pretty with a ton of shimmery shades - I haven't used it yet and the shades appear to run a little cool, but I can't wait to try it!
10.  Melinda Maria Designs Sabrina Pod Necklace:  We got to choose between Silver and Gold and I chose gold and I am just in love with this necklace!  It is gorgeous!!!!

Overall, the box has a value of over $412!!!!  This is now a quarterly subscription, but the Winter Box is still available for $99.

DM me if you would like a link to save $25 on your first box!!!!

@Tamara76 Looks like a fun box with a nice variety of items. I absolutely love Reese Witherspoon and everything she does. I'm sure her book is amazing. <3333

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

Finally posting my November Birchbox!  There was a mixup so they didn't send me my chosen sample initially and I was waiting for it to arrive before posting.

2.  TLW (Three Little Words) Let's Get Naked Frizz Fighter:  I used this a few days last week and it really did help to smooth my hair!
3.  LXMI Creme du Nil Pore Refining Moisture Veil:  This was my sample choice that they had to re-send and I am so happy because it is an amazing moisturizer!
4.  Lise Watier Dramatique Intense 3D Volume Mascara:  This is a really nice volumizing mascara!
5.  Love of Color (LOC) Glow Squad Quad Single in Clink: This is super cute and a pretty color,  but cream eyeshadows and face products are not for me.
6.  Jack Black The Stick Natural Lip Balm in Fresh Mint:  Already a huge fan!

First month of FABFITFUN, I was given a gift card to it for my birthday. Really impressed. I had a blanket, a Halston jewelry travel portfolio, Kate Sumerville 1.7 oz ExfoliKate, 8.45 oz Moroccan Gold Series hair mask, 3.4 oz AHAVA Hydration Cream Mask, Elevate 2 essential oils,Thrive highlighting stick, BLAQ eye mask, PUR eyeshadow palette. For add ons I got GLAMGLOW 1.7 volcasmic moisture for $14, Skin & CO. whipped cleansing cream and face gommage $5 each and SKYN ICELAND 12ml lip fix $5 and MY TAGALONGS 3 silicone 2.5 travel bottles $5. So I have to admit, this was a great first box with great add ons!

I was not impressed with the winter box. I cancelled my subscription after getting a year of boxes. The contents never really wowed me. Plus they substituted something I customized with stuff I got in my spring box.

@CorgiMommy, I'm sorry about your Winter box and completely understand your reasons for canceling. This is my first box and I was pretty happy with the contents. The Exfoliate Kate made the whole box worth it for me (the 2 oz sells for $85 and I received the 1.7 oz) Since I received this as a birthday gift, I have one more box coming before I decide if I want to buy the yearly or cancel.

Glad you enjoyed your first box @Luvstravel! My box shoul...

Glad you enjoyed your first box @Luvstravel! My box should be here later this week! I'm SO excited!

@Imaster, thanks. I did put everything away to get to some time in January, since I have so much taking up space now before Christmas. I know I'll enjoy it more then.

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

I decided to try the winter box too! Can't wait to get it. Yours looks great 😄

@SurprisedLemur, I really enjoyed shopping for the add ons and it was nice to be able to pick an item from a group of three different items to include in the box.

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

Nice add-ons, @Luvstravel! Interested in the Skyn lip balm. My Tagalongs has some fun products.
