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.

@lidovicky, thank you for posting a pic. I was curious about it. That is a great price for all the goodies in it. I don't have the Safari palette ( but love all of my other Natasha palettes) and I have several of the Sun palettes by Terry and really enjoy them, especially for travel. Enjoy 🙂

I thought so too! Thanks 😊

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

I got my January Birchbox!

Spoiler
1.  Ouai Volume Spray: I've tried this before and didn't like it, but this time I used it before curling my hair and it really helped hold the curls - love it!
2.  Prescriptives Virtual Skin Foundation:  The shade isn't right for me, so I couldn't do a full face in this makeup, but it felt o.k. when I tested it - I don't think it will be full enough coverage, though
3.  Model Co. Baked Highlighter:  OMG - This is the tiniest, cutest highlighter I have ever seen!  And it is beautiful when applied, too!
4.  Beautaniq Beauty Nourishing Mascara:  Meh - Decent mascara, but not much volume or length
5.  Blaq Peel Off Mask:  Nope!  I hate peel off masks, to start with.  And once I tried this on, I realized I'd tried it before and hated it.  It felt really tight and cracking on my skin and after I washed it off (because peel masks are gross to me), my skin was super red and irritated.  Nope. Nope. Nope.

@Tamara76 Love That cute lil' highlighter! The box itself is also so pretty! 😍 Enjoy!

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

Thanks, @Shosh85 !  The tiny little highlighter totally stole my heart!  So cute! ❤️

Re: that is a cute highlighter and it's color is amazing @Tam...

I totally agree with you, @lmaster ! ❤️

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

@Tamara76,  I think Birchbox has improved in recent years, looking at unboxing.

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

I agree!  I think it has also helped that I updated my preferences and started reviewing products again!  @byme4u 

Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

January Sephora Play. Man, I just KNEW I would receive the mini beauty blender black soap. Bummed, but excited to see the HUM Daily Cleanse. I will go back and refresh my preferences.

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

@IndyQT317 This looks like a good one! 👌 It's always disappointing when you don't get everything you hope you'd get, though! 😢

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

Awww- sorry you didn't get the Beautyblender cleanser, @IndyQT317!

 

I still haven't gotten my Sephora Play - it seems to arrive later and later each month...and I've gotten less and less excited about the products each month, so I finally cancelled today and added a new Ipsy sub instead.

@Tamara76 This was the earliest I've ever received Play....

@Tamara76 This was the earliest I've ever received Play. Hope yours arrives soon.

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

@Tamara76  @IndyQT317 @CookieGirl1

I canceled my Sephora Play! Box a while ago, because it was just too underwhelming! I am now getting both the Ipsy Glam Bag and the Glam Bag Plus! So far I've been really happy with the Glam Bag Plus! I was so excited when they started letting you have both! 👍🙌😍

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

@Tamara76 I'm considering cancelling as well.  I've been a subscriber for about two years and you're right--it keeps getting delivered later and later every month and I'm seeing far too many repeat items.

My Ipsy. They didnt do to bad. I didnt have access to buy any extras. That really🤬 me off. I emailed, no explanation. Hope this was not a regular thing

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

Ohhhh that mask sounds awesome!  I don't think I've ever had access to buy extras and I've subbed for like 3 or 4 years now - do they email you the option?  @sonnydee

It started October, it pops up when you are able to see the spoilers. It only lasts 24 hours. @Tamara76 most of the sample items are $3 each. They do have some full size items for $12 each. If you look at your spoilers the day they come out you should be able to see it.

Ahhhhhh Thanks, @sonnydee !  I don't usually bother with the spoilers, but now I'm going to start checking! ❤️
