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.

Re: Pusheen lovers/subscribers

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

Re: Pusheen lovers/subscribers

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.

Re: Pusheen lovers/subscribers

Oh yay! I'm so excited this is coming in the box. I love Pusheen plushes, and this one is adorable ❤️

RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Two Boxycharm January spoilers! This eyeshadow and a face palette! I really really hope the face palette is the cover Fx one lol! And that eyeshadow palette looks really unique. Guess they are trying to make up for their December spoilers

Soon I'll be able to build a house with all the eyeshadow...

Soon I'll be able to build a house with all the eyeshadow palettes I'll have! Very pretty shades but can I be honest and admit I have yet to touch the last few palettes we've received 😁.

Re: Soon I'll be able to build a house with all the eyeshadow...

@ElleElleG  Eyeshadow palette house sounds preferable to the cardboard box house we'll all be living in after buying all of this year's new releases!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ 

Re: Soon I'll be able to build a house with all the eyeshadow...

@ElleElleG I can only build a hut right now. Lol. I'm working on it

Re: Soon I'll be able to build a house with all the eyeshadow...

@ElleElleG Same haha! I don't wear eyeshadow every day so it's definitely getting a bit out of control lol. I prefer when we get face items for sure

RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I’m just curious, how many subscriptions do you ladies have? And who are you subscribed to? I have play! Now boxycharm thanks to @ElleElleG. Currently signing up for allure.

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@KNC24 I am addicted to subs!!! It's like giving gifts to myself every month!

 

Surprisingly, I don't get BoxyCharm, but that is next on my list!!!

 

I currently get:

1. Popsugar Must Have

2.  Birchbox

3.  Ipsy

4.  Sephora Play

5.  Walmart Beauty Box (quarterly)

6.  Fab Fit Fun (quarterly)

7. Pusheen Box (this is my daughter's) 

 

I used to get the Julep sub (but amassed too much nail polish), my daughter used to get ibBeautiful and my son used to get Loot Crate.

Beauty wise, I have Boxycharm and Play! I've looked at ot...

Beauty wise, I have Boxycharm and Play! I've looked at others but I just can't convince myself I need them. I also got a sub to Snackcrate for Xmas.

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I currently have Sephora Play and Allure. I signed up for Allure a few months ago when they had the favorites box and I must say that I have really enjoyed that subscription. I use more products from the Allure box than the Play one. Don’t get me wrong, I have gotten some great stuff in the Play boxes but recently they’ve been misses. If the December box isn’t to my liking, I may cancel.

I have tried 3 other subscription services: Birchbox, Petit Vour, and BeautyDNA. None of them worked for me. I would recommend avoiding BeautyDNA like the plague. That subscription was nothing but problems. Over 6 months, I only received 1 item I could use. They repeatedly sent me items that had ingredients that I said I did not want in my survey because I am allergic to them. The first item I received, I had a serious allergic reaction to (burning, itching, rash, inflammation, swelling) so they sent me the same item the next month even though I had previously emailed to tell them what happened. Every single month I had to email them because there was a problem. Their customer service team was great and always tried to fix the issues but it typically took a week to get a response from them.

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@teufel I now have allure and play! I just signed up for allure. 

Good question @KNC24! I'm curious to see what everyone is...

Good question @KNC24! I'm curious to see what everyone is subscribed to. I am only subscribed to BoxyCharm at the moment (with a possibility that I'll join Allure for a month or two 😉). I was subscribed to Play for a bit but was NOT impressed so that had to go.

RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@KNC24 I have Play!, Boxycharm, Ipsy and Allure. They’re the best, in my opinion!

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Thanks @darlyndar for your input. I just signed up for allure. I kinda like play. If there is a better option, I am open to suggestions. 

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@KNC24 I’ve researched a few subscription boxes and to me, these are the best. Boxycharm always has a waiting list but is definitely the best deal out of all of them. The Allure box this month and next month are actually pretty amazing! 

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Currently birchbox and allure. Going to let my 12 month birchbox lapse at the first of the year, though. Re-subscribed to allure with the black friday 3 month and bonus box promo. Non beauty I also have fabletics, adore me, and hello fresh- all of which I skip the week/month on much more than I use. 

 

I have had sephora play and fabfitfun in the past. Now that I have a mass of beauty products and samples that I won't get through during this lifetime even when I donate/gift a lot of things. I do watch fabfitfun and pop sugar and order occasionally when the spoilers look good. 

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

My only subscription right now is Boxycharm and my mom always sends me those target beauty boxes 🙂 so I guess that counts as well lol

 

I am seriously thinking of subscribing to Facetory in the new year. I've gotten really into sheet masks and I like the idea of getting to try a bunch of different ones while saving some money. 

 

I have been subscribed to Play! and ipsy in the past but not anymore. 

Re: RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

@Kim888 I never heard of facetory but will look it up now 🤗. I wasn’t interested in Ipsy since they give some drugstore brand items. 

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

Not sure if you saw yet @ElleElleG  but my subscription addition posted the other two spoilers for December for BOXYCHARM! 

 

Each box will have the Crown WH035 PRO BLUSH BRUSH and then EITHER a Beaute Basics Item (they think the bronzer) or the bellapierra Color Correcting Palette

 

I'm feeling a bit meh about this month - I thought i would be more holiday themed box, I was hoping for some sparkle or reds for the holidays. Oh well not every box can be good for everyone, I hope I get the bronzer I don't really color correct.
