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.

@Kim888, yay for hydration masks! 💦 I’ll keep an eye out for this month’s box! The Jumiso one is a nice and I’ve picked up and put back the one in the red-orange packet a few times in the store so it’ll be nice to get to try it. Would love to know your thoughts on these masks after you’ve used them! Happy masking!

[Mcakes]

These masks all look adorable! Hope they work well for you 🙂

[bakeamuffin]

These lookike they will be so great to use @Kim888!! 😄 the Whoa that H2O mask really caught my eye!! Happy Masking ☺️

[KrishAtl]

Ugh! I want mine so bad!! My Facetory only shipped out today according to the email I got from them!! Looks like a great month @Kim888.

[Kim888]

@krisharl you can email them to bill you the first of the month and then it ships earlier! Or else they just bill you whatever day you signed up

[KemoLove]

@Kim888~ Aww, I love the set you received! That "Whoa that H20" imagery is just super adorable too! 🙂

[eshoe]

Yay, lucky you, @Kim888! I am patiently awaiting for mine to arrive. Looks like they have included another private brand mask - have you tried the one from the August box yet?

[Kim888]

@eshoe I'm not sure what you mean by private label  - is it the orange one?

[eshoe]

The Whoa H2O one, @Kim888-it’s a Facetory branded mask. They included one last month as well, you tried it and liked it I think! The bright pink one. I tried it last night and the scent kind of reminded me of the Brazilian Bum Bum cream lol.

[Kim888]

@eshoe ohhh! I did like that haha I didn't realize it was their in house brand. I need to start paying more attention lol but now I can see it says facetory on the packaging. I haven't tried this months yet. I used the Merbliss one last night and loved it. The actual mask was super nice and soft and I liked the serum a lot!

[Lazybeautybeast]

Boxycharm just showed up 😍 Looks like I got the same as @Mcakes. Very happy with this box! Can't wait to try everything!

[KrishAtl]

We’re boxy triplets @Lazybeautybeast and @Mcakes! Have you tried your products yet? I couldn’t help myself with the Laura Gellar blush and the shadow palette. IN LOVE with both products! Hope y’all are loving yours too!

[Lazybeautybeast]

I tried everything except the brushes today @KrishAnl. 😍 The roller eye liner is going to take some getting used to but it was easy to get a sharp line. Blush, lip, and palette are GREAT! This box is definitely a winner!!

[Mcakes]

Haha @KrishAtl !! I have tried the palette, I can't help myself with neutral palettes lol 😄 I'm really enjoying it! Need to try the other items out. I just get nervous with new brushes, if I'm in a rush (which is 99% of the time HA) I want to know that they will work on the first go. 

[PrettyPaint]

@Lazybeautybeast Looks like a great box! I’m really hoping to get the Hank and Henry!

[Lazybeautybeast]

I hope you get it @PrettyPaint! I tried it on right away and I really liked it!

[PrettyPaint]

So glad to hear you like it! 🙂 @Lazybeautybeast

[KrishAtl]

Ohhh!! ❤️❤️ @Lazybeautybeast!! Can’t wait to hear what you think of everything! Mine isn’t supposed to arrive until Friday according to the tracking😩!!

[Lazybeautybeast]

It will be here soon @KrishAtl! I am still thrown off that mine has been showing up early-ish each month!

[Mcakes]

Yay! Boxytwins 😄 Hope you enjoy it all @Lazybeautybeast 

[Lazybeautybeast]

Thanks @Mcakes! I hope you are likely yours too!
