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.

December Art of Organics Clean Beauty Box came extra early and it's a doozy!

Kahina Mask (value $88) and Moon Boost Lash & Brow Enhancing Serum (value $75). I don't know how she does it.

Also, I don't think I shared last month's. 

Root Science Bright Eye Serum, Botnia Daily Face Cream, and Urb Apothecary Cactus Milk Bath.

The packaging for all these products is beautiful, @MarciaBrady!!! ❤️

[ElleElleG]

Never heard of this subscription @MarciaBrady the items look very interesting!

[MarciaBrady]

@ElleElleG I highly recommend it. I've discovered a lot of great products that i otherwise never would have checked out. Month to month there's a great variety of items for face & body--masks, scrubs, oils, serums, blah blah. 

[MachynesSister]

 I was thiiis close to unsubscribing, but I'm pretty happy with this month's Birchbox, so I might give it another month. 

[Tamara76]

Nice!!!!   I love Beauty Protector!!!! ❤️   @MachynesSister

[MachynesSister]

Me too @Tamara76! I think it smells like cotton candy, which makes me feel nostalgic and happy.

[GQisland]

Wow what a great box, still waiting for mine! I agree, that is definitely one of the bests boxes I’ve seen in a loooooong time from birchbox.

[ZombieMetroAnt]

Oh wow, girl! This is definitely one of the best Birchboxes I've ever seen @MachynesSister  

[PrettyPaint]

Wow! This is the best Birchbox I have ever seen. 

[MachynesSister]

I know @PrettyPaint! I was so going to cancel!

[bakeamuffin]

Sunday Riley!! 😍

[MachynesSister]

I think this is the first time I've gotten Sunday Riley from Birchbox @bakeamuffin. It's one of my favorites! 

[bakeamuffin]

It’s an awesome item to get in a subscription box! They must have sensed you were ready to call it quits haha

[Tamara76]

OMG - Yay!!!!  So cute!   My daughter has this sub and I cannot wait! ❤️   @ElleElleG

[MarciaBrady]

Is it possible to explode from cuteness, because I think I"m about to explode from cuteness. The itsy-bitsy sweater! And the hat! Dying.

[Mcakes]

Aww this is too cute! I've been so tempted to get this sub.

[MarciaBrady]

I finally caved for the fall box and said it would be a one time thing. It's not. I'm practically fully freaking out waiting for the winter one to get here. LOL.
