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.

That Upbox is an interesting one, @Tamara76. The Vanilla Chai lip scrub looks like it might be really good! Love all the word cards, too, those are fun:)

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

I am really enjoying this box, @eshoe!  And omg - the Chai Vanilla lip scrub is amazing!  It smells incredible!  It is one of those creamy lip scrubs, though, so if you want moisture and exfoliation, it's great.  But if you want stronger exfoliation, like with the Lush Lip Scrubs, it may not be your fave.  The brand has an etsy shop if you want to check them out! โค๏ธ

Thank @Tamara76!

My daughter's December Scentbird box finally arrived on 12/31...

011219decscentbird.jpg

Spoiler
๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ This month she selected Valentino's Valentina Acqua Floreale. This scent is described by Scentbird as having โ€œethereal whispers of bergamot and orange blossomโ€ that โ€œfade into a floral heart of pale rose and skin-soft jasine and tuberose. Gossamer strands of amber and patchouli complete this delicate, feminine scent.โ€๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ
.
My daughter really enjoys this scent, but I find it too heavy and musky for my taste.

Scentbird is an excellent way to try new fragrances before you buy them - you get a monthโ€™s supply of fragrance for only $14.95!!! And now you can also choose a beauty product instead of a fragrance as your monthly option!

DM me if you want to subscribe - they have a deal where you can get a free perfume with your new Scentbird subscription and I can send you the link ๐Ÿ™‚

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

@Tamara76Any way to see a list of brands they have?

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

@Samtian Yes - Go to their site and scroll down to the very bottom of the home page and click the link on the right that says "shop perfumes."  You'll be able to see the list of current perfumes and if you click the links at the top of the page once you're there, you can see the makeup and body products.

 

If you subscribe, it's easy to see everything and you can load your queue for the next 10 or 12 months so that you get what you want every month!

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

@Tamara76Awesome thanks!

@SchylarR, I received the hand cream in one of my Ulta bags and love it.

Re: Oh, that's good!!! ๐Ÿค— Hopefully I end up loving it too!!!...

@SchylarR I have a bunch of the ahava hand creams and theyโ€™re actually really nice!! Theyโ€™ve converted me from my previous school of thought, โ€œhands are body parts so I guess body lotion will do as hand creamโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚

@jen81, can't wait to get mine. So glad I subscribed to Allure last year (last year still sounds so funny even though it's already close to the middle if January)

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

This is my fav subscription box. They rarely disappoint

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

Sooo tempted to get this box because of the SR oil ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Let me know what you think of it @jen81

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

My January Ipsy spoiler:

Jan Ipsy.PNG

I like how there is a good mix of makeup and skincare in my Ipsy bags; excited to try the H2O treatment!

 

One thing that is placing me at the edge of unsubscribing is that Ipsy still hasn't sent me my Nov bag + mystery Oct bag. Their customer service has been telling me that they're trying to catch up on backlogged shipments, but idk how much longer I can be patient... Anyone else have odd Ipsy experiences??

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

They royally screwed up my Oct bag. BUT everytime I order something from ipsy shopper they ship it fairly quickly & it takes me about a week to get it. They have been really late with the ipsy bags themselves lately though. @Guessgal
