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.

@MarciaBrady  Your nativity scene looks a lot like mine; is yours from Italy too by any chance?  We did lose the star and angel from ours though. lol

[Tamara76]

I love the earrings, too (love Nicole Richie!), and your cat is adorable, @MarciaBrady!💗

[MarciaBrady]

I had no idea Nicole Richie was the House of Harlow person until you mentioned it. I love her, too!

[Tamara76]

@MarciaBrady

[MarciaBrady]

Perfect!

[ElleElleG]

Those earrings look beautiful @MarciaBrady! 

[MarciaBrady]

I'm really excited about them. If I'd gone out tonight I would totally have worn them. 

[Mcakes]

Haha! Your cat is too cute @MarciaBrady 😄 

This box looks amazing! Have you been happy with the subscription so far? I always get tempted to join then stop myself lol. 

[MarciaBrady]

@McakesThanks! She's a sweetie.

I LOVE the box. This is my 3rd, and I've worn/used just about everything I've gotten. Definitely worth subscribing. You could make it a New Year's resolution. Pretty easy one to check off. 😄

My second snackcrate came yesterday. I couldn't resist opening the Tim tam before taking the picture. I can't wait to try the rest of it.

[Tamara76]

Ohhhh - how dun!  Everything looks so yummy, @Lazybeautybeast!  Enjoy!💗💗💗

[Mcakes]

OMG they make a Milo snack bar?! Please report back on that one @Lazybeautybeast 😄 Sounds delish!

[ElleElleG]

😍😍😍 this box looks amazing!

Can't blame you for going straight for the Tim Tam @Lazybeautybeast, it's so good

[juliehnguyen]

SQUEEE this is the best subscription! 🍭🍫🍬I need to check them out! Do they feature a different country each month @Lazybeautybeast? And, enjoy all the sweets! 

[Lazybeautybeast]

@juliehnguyen I'm the same way! I think I can refer people. If you're interested, PM me and I'll try to figure it out. I'm not sure what you get.

[Lazybeautybeast]

@juliehnguyen YES! It's a different every month. My bf got me a 6 month subscription for Xmas. I got South Korea for signing up last month. I liked everything expect a noodle thing it had a funny taste. You can YouTube some unboxings. It is a lot of fun. I try to pace myself so I don't eat it all at once.

[juliehnguyen]

Ooo this subscription sounds so awesome @Lazybeautybeast! I love trying snacks from different places. I feel like I spend way too much time at the snack section of World Market. 😂😂 and your boyfriend is so sweet! He really knows the way to a girls heart!
