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.

Thanks so much! I love Macy’s and always get gift cards to there with my insurance lifepoints! And if I time things well with their sales could combine for better deals! I’m only getting Boxycharm at this time I had to cancel play in March after continuously getting things available for 100 pt rewards and getting multiples... I will Have to look back on some older versions to see if I am into the products 😊
Spoiler for the Feb BoxyCharm from MSA - FS HG Ambient Lighting Blush.
I'm really interested in this but haven't used Boxy before and I hear about a waitlist a lot - will I be able to see full spoilers and buy it or will I be put on a waitlist for the next month?
@Lazybeautybeast Gosh thank you so much for this detailed in depth response! I think I will wait to sign up in this case - I have a lot of beauty products now so I've been adding new items much more selectively. I'd rather miss out on the blush rather than paying for both January & February (given that I don't like the Jan box).
I will definitely check out her IG! I was tempted last month too by that too faced palette gwp but resisted due to not needing anything in the actual box. I did however cave for the allure beauty box w/ hot tools blowout brush gwp. I just wanted the brush for 10$ and going to end up giving most items in the box to my friends 😄
@Lazybeautybeast Hey thanks so much for the tips!! I hadn't seen the other spoiler accounts yet so I will definitely keep an eye on them. If I sign up for them now and they take me off the list in Jan, will I be able to wait til Feb to sign up or would i be forced to get Jan too?
Unfort they have not confirmed which box yet or which colors!
So here is my December Boxycharm, recieved today. I requested the Saturday Skin lotion, and recieved confirmation. Then I recieved an email that my choice was not included and will be shipped separately. I wondered what was wrong and saw the wrong choice when I opened my box. I'm waiting on the lotion. Since the items included in this box were correct to the card, I wonder which items I was supposed to receive.
Interesting to note: my premium box still has not shipped.
@Lazybeautybeast I saw that too. It does seem a bit odd. I think I read the kypris item was potentially different too. I don't really understand why this would benefit the brands, though. I thought it was to introduce people to their brands. I also noticed that the storybook palettes are made in prc whereas storybook palettes are usually made in the u.s.
@haleyvvvv If you dont mind me asking, how come your not jazzed about the Natasha Denona?
@haleyvvvv Thank you, I was curious, since of the quality of the items themselves. I think/feel a lot of companies do this to stand out, and think the backlash is good for business since people start talking about them.
@haleyvvvv, yeah, the Fresh Soy Cleanser doesn't agree with my skin, and it seems to be in everything.
