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.

My ipsy bag & box. No mess ups this month!🎉🎉🎉 bottom row my addons. 😍the coloured raine but they stink ALOT! chemical smell...hope it goes away more. huda is pink sands.

[drrragon]

@sonnydee ok, what's the story with those little froggy guys?  is it a blanket?  tote bag?  and where do i get one for myself??  They're too cute!

[sonnydee]

🤣@drrragon, it's a blanket that was a gift from either nana or great grandmother for one of my sons. it just happened to be on my bed & I thought it would make a fun background. thanks!🐸

[Tamara76]

I got almost the exact same regular Ipsy bag, @sonnydee !  I also got the Coloured Raine singles as my add-ons - I was super sad to miss out on the Glow Recipe, but I'm holding out hope that we'll see it again! ❤️

[RebeccaBT]

@sonnydee Thanks for sharing your goodies! 

Best,

Rebecca

[Anastasiya13]

@sonnydee  Ooo you got some nice items. How is the pixi? I am so curious about that item, I keep debating on whether to get it or not.

[sonnydee]

@Malicequinn yea, I'm oily & I've tried argan oil before- It was just too much for me esp during summer in hot as hades Florida. It was worse for my hair though!😲 I had to use a scalp shampoo/scrub to remove all the oiliness...it was bad. 🤬 never again

[Malicequinn]

I received it in my box too. I really enjoy it! It's probably most suitable for dry skin like mine. I've been using it in the afternoons... super refreshing, fine mist. The oil in it leaves my skin feeling hydrated too.

[sonnydee]

that's the one product that I'm not going to try. argan oil is not friendly to my face or hair unfortunately 🙄@Anastasiya13

[Anastasiya13]

@sonnydee  aww okay

[KNC24]

For those with boxyluxe, check your email. They are now allowing you to pick your item.

[PinkEvergreen]

@KNC24  Thanks for the heads up! 😊

Is anyone else having issues with their Ipsy shipping? Mine has sat for 5 days straight now and hasn't moved. I've had Ipsy since Feb (I think?) and I've never had an issue with shipping. Add-on products missing sure (and their CS has been great clearing that up on the 2 occasions), but not a slow/non-moving box.

[Weetart]

My Regular Ipsy showed up early, the Ipsy plus took forever. @niki172

[StevieAnn]

every since I started adding add-ons my bags have been taking forever to get to me!

[Weetart]

Another sub arrived today. My Ipsy plus with three addons. I don’t know if I will use the cream, highlighter, or the mascara. I have more than enough of both. I’m going to postpone my Ipsy plus sub for the two or three month option they provide and stick with the regular Ipsy. I don’t need so many full size products.  

[Weetart]

Just received my Allure x Huda box. Stoked! Actually a box of stuff I will use.

[Tamara76]

This looks like a fun box, @Weetart !
