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.

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

Can't wait to hear how you like Generation Clay @sonnydee

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

Ipsy addons are up! Glow recipe watermelon moisturizer full size for $12. Yes please! And get to try some coloured raine singles! 😋😋😋😋💛 love my ipsy!

Just a heads up, the Glow Recipe is actually the 25ml travel size one.

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

The struggle to pick out what I wanted as add-on's today was real lol! I went back and forth on the Naked loose pigments and the Coloured Raine singles, but then decided I have too many eyeshadows and picked up the FEEL palo santo soothing mask instead - it looks interesting! Also I've heard people just rave about the Thrive mascara so I picked that on up as well.

I haven't heard anything about that thrive mascara. Now,...

I haven't heard anything about that thrive mascara. Now, I'm excited to try it! thanks for the info @niki172 ( I got it in my bag)

Re: I haven't heard anything about that thrive mascara. Now,...

You're welcome @sonnydee . I've seen a lot of people on MSA and other forums that just love that mascara so I thought I'd try it. I paused my GBP and just stuck with my regular Glam Bag this month as I didn't really like the spoilers for the Plus and I'm trying to cut down on getting unnecessary items too.

Re: I haven't heard anything about that thrive mascara. Now,...

@sonnydee @niki172 That mascara is great! I lost mine and if I didn't have a huge stash of travel and full size mascaras from subscription boxes I'd be ordering a full size of that one.

I no longer subscribe to Ipsy 😞 (trying to get my beauty collection under control lol)

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

I’m subscribe to Ipsy, Birchbox, and I just cancelled Allure to sign up for Play by Sephora. So I’m brand new here and was just wondering which subscription out of them all Is your favorite?? Mine is Ipsy so far but I have high expectations for Play By Sephora

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

@BeautyBoxLove87  I been loving Boxycharm lately. They had some amazing items, and a great value for the box.

Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

If you could pick out of the following 2, which would you pick? BoxyCharm or Ipsy Glam Bag Plus ??? I cannot afford both boxes at once haha

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

@Marrrryyyyy  I would say boxycharm since they have some great items, and they are improving there program a lot

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

@Marrrryyyyy  That is a tough one. I have both. I think I’ve liked the items from Boxycharm more but I like how Ipsy has the add ons. I think I would go with Boxycharm.

hm... Personally, I have Boxycharm. I have really enjoyed...

hm... Personally, I have Boxycharm. I have really enjoyed it for the most part but sometimes I get products that I immediately get rid of. ipsy glam bag plus really has me on the fence because they have been offering some great products. I can't justify both so I'm sticking with Boxycharm. BUT I think ipsy does at least attempts to tailor boxes to match your profile whereas Boxycharm isn't there yet.

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

@Marrrryyyyy It a tough decision, but I've had both and prefer Ipsy Glam Plus. I have recently cancelled my Boxy subscription and with that went my Boxyluxe but I've had no regrets 🙂

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

My play box arrived. Love every individual item in it, but as a group, it’s not the most well-rounded box!! I mean 2 moisturizers in the same box 🤷‍♀️....couldn’t they have sent me something other than 2 of the same type of item??? I’m happy with anything! Not a difficult customer here 😆!!! Every singe item in it is well-loved by me and totally useful to my life, so overall a happy person this month!

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

@KrishAtl is that a mini Kaja Toy Alien??? I would love it if I received this box, that is my favorite highlighter! 

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

@KrishAtl I liked this box too. This was supposed to be my last month but now I don’t know.

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

You're right @KrishAtl , great items individually but it is odd to get two of the same product in the box. Glad you like them though 😄 

@KrishAtl glad you like it. i got the same exact box. i H...

@KrishAtl glad you like it. i got the same exact box. i HATE it. i have 100000 belief creams . sooo sick of repeats

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

@KrishAtl  Oooo the kaja looks so pretty, is that a highlighter?
