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.

@ChristinaFL2001 the bag would be perfect for your little girl!

Shades of orange for the October Lip Monthly! Loving the cute print on the bag! Excited to try the Luna By Luna Lip oil.

[lmaster]

those colors are my favorite! @KrishAtl

That bag is too cute! <3   @KrishAtl

Waiting on my Sephora Play! box (#967). Happy about the mini All Nighter, already know that I like the lippie, interested in trying the primer (great timing, I literally have a few uses left in the one I'm currently using) , and *gasp* the foundation MIGHT ACTUALLY MATCH ME!!! Not a huge fan of the perfume or the cleanser but that's life. Now I wait...

[Lazybeautybeast]

Sounds like a pretty good box for you @CookieGirl1! Mine is scheduled for delivery on Saturday. 🤷 I haven't seen what I'm getting yet.

[CookieGirl1]

@Lazybeautybeast you can actually see your box's products under your account on the website; today was the first day that the site showed October's products instead of September's. 

[Lazybeautybeast]

Thanks @CookieGirl1. Looks like I'm getting box 991. It is almost the same as yours but I'll get the Clinque lippie and a different fragrance (the Replica one). I've tried the UD All Nighter and the Soy Face Wash. I'm hoping MUFE is a good shade match. I was hoping it get it. 

[CookieGirl1]

@Lazybeautybeast I like some of the Replica fragrances pretty well and that's actually the perfume I was hoping to get.  Guess we'll see if the foundation works for either of us!  By the way, did you get your K-Beauty Box yet?

[Lazybeautybeast]

@CookieGirl1 I got it earlier today. I'm getting pictures ready. They'll be shortly. 🙂

I received this from Boxycharm today regarding December’s Boxyluxe. Customization? It has to be a foundation. Seems like we will be getting another email soon. I’m excited! September’s BoxyLuxe was well worth it for me and I’ve heard December is going to be even better. 

[Tamara76]

I can't wait! <3  @darlyndar

[courtneyinsea]

@darlyndar It would make sense to have the customized item be something that would be dependent on skin tone, but I hope it's not foundation because that's so difficult to match online. I would love having the option of something a little more forgiving if you don't get the match spot-on, like a highlighting concealer.

[Kim888]

Mask time 😊 I really like the meg mAsks doe xcited about that. And the seaweed one looks super interesting ! Apparently it’s supposed to cover your whole face for total masking (like there’s no mouth cut out )

[Tamara76]

My eyes went strait to the Banana Milk Bomb Mask - Can't wait to hear your thoughts, @Kim888! <3

[eshoe]

Yep that 23years mask is something else, @Kim888@-keep a scissors nearby in case you don’t care for the feel of it covering your mouth! Would love to hear your thoughts on it when you’ve had a chance to try it😊

[Kim888]

So my September allure finally arrived! Lol but it’s the box I was hoping for so yay

[jen143xo]

@Kim888I cant believe yours took so long.  My Oct box just shipped.  I got the same box as you for Sept!

[Kim888]

@jen143xo it must have gotten lost or something. I already got the email my october box shipped so I'm hoping september was just a little glitchy since it was my first month

[jen143xo]

Oh this was your first month, I didnt realize.  I love allure beauty boxes.  I hope Oct comes on time!   I am glad you loved your first box.  I canceled some of the beauty subscriptions I had but kept this one.   <3

[eshoe]

Yay, @Kim888! Cannot believe it took this long!!! Glad you got everything you wanted in it, I was pretty happy as well
