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.

February Boxycharm spoilers from Yosef. It will include a TF Better Than Sex Mascara and the Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer.

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

I think I’m gonna get rid my boy charm subscription and possibly play.

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

I haven't regretted canceling either one @KNC24 !  It's saved me some money AND space, lol

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

@Lazybeautybeast i was just thinking I can get Sephora fav kit to replace play!!

I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I canc...

I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I cancelled, I have noticed even more how the Sephora promos, selling focus, Sephora favorites, and play overlap. I'm glad I cancelled. I don't miss it at all. Boxycharm has me on the fence again. I feel like (at least in my boxes) have been stepping it up but I also am at the point where I don't really want to continue growing my collection just to grow my collection. Just make sure you use up your charms before you cancel so they don't go away.

Re: I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I canc...

@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!

Re: I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I canc...

@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

Re: I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I canc...

@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

RE: I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I canc...

@Lazybeautybeast I love Sephora as brand but I feel like I’ve outgrown the box. When your new to makeup or Sephora, you get exciting items. After having the box for a year or two, you pretty much have best of Sephora outside of the new stuff

Re: I'm definitely glad I cancelled play @KNC24. Since I canc...

@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

@KNC24 I hated to cancel play! but after a year and a hal...

@KNC24 I hated to cancel play! but after a year and a half, I just wasn't impressed anymore! wish they could put some new samples of items in there, instead of the same products over and over

Re: @KNC24 I hated to cancel play! but after a year and a hal...

@lmaster I’m ready to cancel boxyxharm. I see their stepping up the game but not sure if it’s enough to keep me. 

Re: @KNC24 I hated to cancel play! but after a year and a hal...

@KNC24 yeah boxycharm can be really good or meh. I've cancelled a bunch here recently myself

January Boxycharm. Overall, I'm happy with this box! I was hoping for the brow pencil, Ofra lippie, and the Sizzle Tarte palette. But 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I'll still get good use out of the Vol. III palette.

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

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...

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

@Lazybeautybeast I got the same box. I was hoping for the smith and cult lipgloss. I’m on the fence with boxycharm.

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

My January Subs are starting to roll in!!!

 

1. Ipsy Glambag Plus - This one is my fave so far:

Spoiler
1. Violet Voss Mini HG Eye Shadow Palette in Berry Burst:  OMG - this has been on my wish list since it released!  I cannot wait to try it out!!!!
2. Murad Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil:  I am really looking forward to trying this!
3.  Hey, Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum:  I am also excited to try this, too! 
4.  Vasanti Matte Crush Lipstick Pencil in Its Your Mauve:  Ohhhhh this is soooo pretty!  And I love that they included a sharpener in the box!!!!
5.  Briogeo Rosarco Milk:  Love this stuff!
6.  Ofra Rodeo Drive Highlighter:  I was soooo disappointed that I didn't get this in my December Ipsy that I bought one myself and I totally love it.  I was super surprised to see this in my January box so I am giving this one to my daughter.

Overall, Ipsy killed it this month!  I'm still sad about the bags going away, but I can forgive them temporarily 😉 

DM me if you're interested in a referral link!

2.  Boxycharm:

011219boxy.jpg

Spoiler
1.  Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Strength and Moisture Leave in Mask:  Love it!!!
2.  Starlooks Luxe Longwear Eye Pencil
3.  Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Volume III Palette:  I think I may already have this one, but if I do, it is packed up waiting to be moved into my beauty room once the paint dries... I'm not a huge fan of Rainforest of the Sea palettes in general because they don't have much pigmentation, so this one may go to my daughter whether I already have it or not
4.  Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Havana Nights:  OMG!  This is gorgeous!!!!!!!!
5.  Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Face Masks: I cannot wait to try these!!!

DM me if you'd like a referral link!

3.  Up Words Up Box:  

011219upbox.jpg

Detail of some of the items:

011219upboxdetails.jpg

Spoiler
Upbox is a new sub for me - I kept seeing it on Instagram and everyone was posting 50% off coupons, so I couldn't resist trying it, although I cancelled for next month because $40 is a little pricey given all my other subs.  Upbox is an encouragement box with a Christian message and it is literally packed with goodies, so if you don't mind paying more than other monthly subs, it is well worth it (I believe the value is over $150).  I love that all the brands are indie brands, too!

1.  Miss Violet Lace Moonbeam Sparkle Serum
2.  Crosbee + Crew Cinnamon Spice Soy Candle
3.  Sew What Steph hair ties
4.  Elmwood Avenue Be the Light Decal
5.  Stinny's Platinum Glitter Gel
6.  Purely Posh Vanilla Almond Lip Balm
7.  LB Love Organics Vanilla Chai Organic Lip Scrub
8.  Sela and Sage Star Earrings
9.  Entyze Honey Vanilla Brulee All Purpose Salve
10.  Lulu Sugar Holiday Sparkle Candle 
11. Purely Posh Vanilla Almond Body Butter
12.  Harrison Valley Whipped Tea Tree Charcoal Soap
13.  Samples of Harrison Valley Activated Charcoal Face Masks
14.  Simply AC Boutique Oh, Honey Bath Bomb
15.  Bella Boutiques Sparkle Earrings
16.  Quotable Words Pouch
17.  Quotable Words Tray
18.  Encouragement Cards

This is a really lovely box and I may subscribe again down the road!
