Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

[ElleElleG]

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.

@Kim888 I think this is one of the better boxes they’ve come out with in awhile. Your box looks great I could never get through all of that product fast enough though! Maybe now that it’s quarterly I can try it out🤔

[HunterKathleen]

I missed out on ipsy’s April Glam Bag so I bought a mystery bag last month. It just got here today and I’m stoked with the stuff I got! The OFRA highlighter is full size, normally $35. And the 111SKIN serum sample is 10ml. Full size is 30ml and goes for $350. 😱 It better be formulated with gold flakes and water from the fountain of youth if it’s that expensive, lol. I can’t wait to use all this stuff, especially this adorable little lemon bag. Overall a great bag for just $12!

[PinkEvergreen]

@HunterKathleen  I really liked the lemon bag, too. It’s very sturdy and easy to spot in my dark purse. 

Enjoy your products!! 😊

[KateJRoberts]

What an awesome bag you got! That highlighter is stunning.

[l8totheparty]

$350?! US? that's worth even more in Can $. *falls over* @HunterKathleen

[HunterKathleen]

Yes, $350 US. 😵 I don’t even know what’s supposed to be so amazing about it. I only heard of the brand recently!

[newcarlee]

Wow, @HunterKathleen, that is an awesome bag!  Lol about what you think the serum should include! 

[HunterKathleen]

Right!! If I’m paying an arm and a leg for 30ml of product it should work some miracles!

[faeriegirl]

That Glambag looks awesome @HunterKathleen!

[Kim888]

Another month of Facetory luxe! This box looks like it has some really interesting products this month! I’m excited for the essence and moisturizer. Starting to get a bit overwhelmed with facial sprays though

[faeriegirl]

Those masks look great @Kim888!

[m3rc3d3s]

so excited - mine is en route now!!!!

[HunterKathleen]

I’m so excited for my ipsy June bag! I got the pair of Farmacy sheet masks in my bag, then added on the full size Sunday Riley. I can’t believe I snagged a full size $65 product for $12. 😱 I’ve been wanting to try more Sunday Riley stuff but the price tag is so high... this is a great opportunity to try it out without breaking the bank!

[Mcakes]

So excited for this box! The value comes out to $436.95 😱 The only things I’m not thrilled about are the invisibobbles, they have never worked for my hair and snag them more than anything and the Living Proof No Frizz because I’m nervous it will weigh my hair down and make it greasy. It’s funny because I joined this sub to have a non-beauty focused box for once, but here we are with the majority of it being beauty related anyway lol. Oops 💁🏻‍♀️

[Marrrryyyyy]

@Mcakes uhh this makes me want to sign up for another boxxxx hahah

[Mcakes]

@Marrrryyyyy Do it do it do it!!!!!! 😉 😄

[curlychiquita]

This is definitely a nice box, @Mcakes!

[Mcakes]

Agreed @curlychiquita ! Not a bad first box for me 😄 Tempted to get a second box just for the masks and SdJ products lol

[faeriegirl]

That box looks awesome @Mcakes!

[Mcakes]

Thanks @faeriegirl ! Looks like you got a good box too! My friend got the wine glasses like yours

[faeriegirl]

@Mcakes I am tempted to get another box too if I end up liking the masks. After getting the wine glasses I decided to use them for makeup brush holders😊
