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.

Oh wow!  What an awesome box, @eshoe !!!

[eshoe]

I don’t sub often, @Tamara76 -but they do have a few stellar boxes each year!

[Shosh85]

@eshoe Nice! This looks like an awesome box! Glad to hear you had such a good experience with their customer service! How wonderful of them to send you a whole box! Sometimes it's just CS alone that gets me coming back! I hope you have fun trying everything out! 👍🤗

[eshoe]

@Shosh85 it really does; the lady I spoke with was so helpful, and made it a point to confirm which product was missing. I really wanted to try it, so I appreciated it. I totally agree CS plays such a huge role in customer retention😊

My BoxyLuxe finally arrived yesterday! So happy with it! My Cover FX palette is in the correct shade 🙌, the nail polish is fabulous! I usually have no patience for nail polish but I thought I would give it a try. It dried so quick! The Becca lipstick is a great shade for me (dusk). This is my first Morphe palette (15N) so fingers crossed🤞. There are a few things I may end up gifting but overall I'm blown away with everything I've tried so far! Worth the wait!

[lmaster]

[Tamara76]

@Lazybeautybeast I am sooooo happy with my Boxyluxe, too (except the Iconic Brow Cushion - so flipping messy!!!).  Enjoy!!!! ❤️

Both my Ipsy's came a few days ago, and I'm just now getting around to posting. I've really been happy with the Glam bag plus, but this is probably the first one I wasn't very excited about. I did love everything I got in my regular Glam Bag though!
