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:
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 donโt 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.
SUCCESSFUL TRADE EXPERIENCES?

@eshoe I just saw this - thank you for the tag! I saw that you rated it an A-/B+. Was it bc you didnโt like the jelly consistency of the part 2?
I was sucked in by the foil concept of the Vita Cocktail, but seeing your glowing review of the Omorovicza cleansing balm makes me think I should read up on that one instead! ๐
All of the Vita Cocktail masks have been rated well by those whoโve tried it @Guessgal, @itsfi and @@lmaster have both given them very high marks. I enjoyed the mask, but I wouldnโt repurchase this particular one. If I like a mask but wouldnโt repurchase I think itโs an A-/B+. If I liked and would buy it again but not in a hurry to do so itโs an A. If I love it and immediately go online to purchase backups after trying it, itโs an A+ in my book๐
The Omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm is the best. ๐ it.
Ah, I see. It looks like I misinterpreted your rating scale. Thanks for the clarification! ๐ค @eshoe
@eshoeOoh I'd love to know about the Ready Set and the Moon Velvet.
I canโt wait to try the Moon Velvet, @Samtian-I will tag you when I do๐
This looks like a fantastic box! I'm looking to drop my Ipsy subscription (just not things I'm excited to try anymore), but I know I'd miss the surprise in the mail every month. This looks like a fun one to maybe switch over to!
If you enjoy using sheet masks @missjeanie, I recommend trying a sub (Iโm partial to this one, but there are others out there). If anything, it helps me discover new brands from which I can branch off and find other masks to try๐
I'm just getting into sheet masks now. In the past I've preferred wipe off masks, but have found that the few I've tried these last few weeks have been enjoyable. I quickly checked out their website and it looks like they have a 4 mask option for around 7$ a month. I'd need to ship them to a US address and pay 3$ to get them and that would work out to around 13.50 Canadian, versus the 21$ I was charged for Ipsy. I find with Ipsy lately I'm using one sample size product and the rest just sit in a box where I don't get to them. Id still get the fun of a subscription box this way, and hopefully I'd actually use the products!
As you mentioned the color coordination is great, the masks look fun! I am definitely missing this subscription! @eshoe
I considered dropping it for my low-buy @HelenBT, but Iโm glad I kept it! Their curation is always interesting.
I looked at that sub but liked the brand offerings in this one better @lmaster. Hope it works out for you!
@eshoe I agree for sure!
wow @eshoe that was insanely fast haha - looks like it's going to be a good month!
I think itโs the fastest theyโve shopped since switching to parcel, @Kim888-I was so happy!
Cross posting from the Deals thread in case anyone's interested. I think Look Fantastic's limited edition boxes are always really nice. This is a pre-order for 1/16- yay next cc cycle! lol
Look Fantastic's Limited Edition Chinese New Year Box is for sale! Order now and get a free stainless steel water bottle (these work really well, for hot and cold drinks, the best water bottles I've tried,) and use the code "fantastic20" to save 20%.

Boxycharm spoilers for January. The TF BTS mascara and the Bite Lipstick are not confirmed yet but the Boxycharm has already confirmed that each charmer will get 2 Tatcha Sheet Masks and the one of the Tarte palettes.
Yes, thanks for the tag @talifromcali ! I have my fingers crossed for a variant lol.
