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 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.

I haven't regretted canceling either one @KNC24 ! It's saved me some money AND space, lol
@Lazybeautybeast i was just thinking I can get Sephora fav kit to replace play!!
@Lazybeautybeast @KNC24 @lmaster @Kim888 I cancelled my Play today.
Not only because I never really get new products, but I'm also tired of not getting my box until the 25th of each month - It's ridiculous when they charge me on like the 2nd.
I have literally been with Play since the very first box - I was in the pilot launch and I remember how excited I was about the box, but it just hasn't improved at all since the beginning. 😞
But I did add on a regular Ipsy sub in addition to my Glambag Plus!
@Tamara76 haha!! Me too with the ipsy sub! That's really a sad situation with play! Why can't they include new product samples of items that just came out? I don't get it
@Tamara76 it's so hard to let go of subs especially when you have had them forever! there's so much more competition now than when it first came out though boxes have to step it up or they start feeling stale
@Lazybeautybeast that's totally why I cancelled play! as well - too many repeats of promos or favorites kits. I also cancelled boxycharm last may. I do look at the boxes and this was the first month I was really like I would have liked so much of all that stuff. But I am still getting other subs - I think I would miss getting none
@lmaster I’m ready to cancel boxyxharm. I see their stepping up the game but not sure if it’s enough to keep me.
@KNC24 yeah boxycharm can be really good or meh. I've cancelled a bunch here recently myself
Ohhhhh I got the same box, @Lazybeautybeast, except I think I got a different shade of lipstick. I'm not a fan of the Rainforest of the Sea palettes (not pigmented enough) and I think I already had this one, so I passed it on to my daughter...
My January Subs are starting to roll in!!!
1. Ipsy Glambag Plus - This one is my fave so far:
2. Boxycharm:
3. Up Words Up Box:
Detail of some of the items:
@Bigdawn I am super impressed with this month's Ipsy - I calculated the value to be more than $200 - not bad for $25! Plus, I love every single thing in this box! ❤️
Thanks, @lmaster! I really love the encouragement, but also all the indie brands! It's a fun box and I just resubbed because I think it's worth it! ❤️
