BoxyCharm April 2017 SPOILER #2!

Oh yes. I’ve been on it since March 24, but I’ve read about some people being on it for 3 months. 😠😡

I havent gotten my march box yet either,they sent me an email on friday morning saying yay ur box shipped and is on its way,i contacted fedex with the tracking number and ask what was going on because i couldnt track it (this was yesterday) and fedex tld me they havent even received my box yet….just a shipping notice,im not impressed with boxy at all….i was on the waitlist for two months while others where only waitlisted a wk or two and boxy has no rhyme or reason why,i emailed them yesterday to find out where my march box is and im still waiting for a reply….

I’ve been with Boxy for Over 1 1\2 years and I still don’t have my March box!!!

Hestly the way you feel about ipsy is how I feel about boxycharm. Like this month all the big youtubers and influencers got the real her lip kit but then after their unboxings and posts on social media, people were getting lip liners and then liquid lips from a different brand and it didn’t even match the lip liners or they got repeats of the Ampilash mascara. So it wasn’t fair for us “regular customers” to see all the influencers getting the good stuff while the rest of us got leftover crap. Don’t get me wrong I’m not bashing boxycharm I know they have an ocean of people to impress but it just really bummed me out that after watching so many unboxings and seeing all the pics on IG and then getting my box and it had a burgundy lip liner and a screaming red liquid lipstick that was terrible and I just got the same one like 6 months ago. 🙁 hoping April is a better month as it already looks kick ass!!

I think they do it in waves, and you go through a cycle. I felt the same way. Each box kept getting later and later then Feb shipped out super early and march shipped out in the beginning of the month but not necessarily “super” early like Feb. So I think I’m making my way through the cycle to being toward the end of the month. it also has to do with where you live. I”m in WA State and it takes my boxes way longer to get here after they have shipped.

After waiting (and getting passed over) on the waitlist, I couldn’t believe the lame-ness of this March box. I’m with you. Total zeroes across the board. (Thank goodness I somehow managed to get off the list just in time to get a Feb box.)

After these spoilers for April I already unsubbed, so someone else can have my box 🙂 Who in the world needs 16 colors of concealer?!?! Unless you have 15 friends in all the colors of the rainbow, who you also do undereye and blemish touch-ups for, who could possibly use this?

If there was no (or a very small) waitlist, that could be the case. For the past few months there has been a waitlist where a lot of people will sign up in one month, but their first box will be the following month’s box. But, it sounds like people are getting off of the waitlist after being on it for about 2 to 3 weeks, so if you sign up at the beginning of April, I think chances are good that you’ll start with the April box. 🙂

Also about the concealer palette I wish it had color correcting shades in it also. But still super happy. I’m probably the only one but now if we could get some more single mug shadows I’d be super happy.

Yes, unsub today please! (Waitlisted and still holding out slim hope for a March box…)

Love it this sub is well worth $21 they always have great boxes and what I can’t use I pass on to Freinds that’s the joy of these subs to try new things I don’t understand all the negative comments you may not love all items pass them on if it bothers a person so much don’t subscribe

I agree with u…all the things u get in the box..is well worth it…the stuff u don’t like make good presents…people always have something to complain about…I love boxycharm

I think this is fun. Idk what I’ll do with all the colors because I’m ghostly white…but it could work for some fun face painting 😂 Very neat idea. Also love that 2 items are worth as much/more than the cost of the box on their own. I don’t use highlighter…but my twin does so great for regifting!

All that concealer for a retail of $20? Nope, even if it works decent or even well it probably has a bunch of junk in it.

That’s a really crappy thing to say. Firstly, just the OFRA highlighter alone pays for the box. Secondly, just because some of us have NARS cocneers, doesn’t mean everyone does. Quite frankly I think my NARS concealer sucks compared to some of my drug store options. Lastly, feel free not to use it if you don’t want.

Those of us that can’t afford NARS or Tarte concealer will definitely be using this if it’s halfway decent. Not everyone has a large makeup collection. Some people have sub boxes in order to build up their makeup. 🙂

Me too! I am not at all complaining about the products, it’s just with my color combination (red hair, blue eyes, and pale freckled skin) I am not able to use the eye shadows or lip products. I do appreciate receiving brushes and things like primers though. Luckily my friends and co-workers do enjoy some of the things I am not able to use and are a bit more adventurous than I.

I wanted to know about swaps too. I get the idea of course but couldn’t figure out the swap page. I’m still on waitlist. I emailed Liz about how it works and she mentioned she planned on making a Swap tutorial which I think would be great. I am new to sub boxes and have a few things I don’t want myself

Hey sister. You can actually do swaps and look for people to swap with on Instagram. I’ve done several on there! Good luck !

You can also list the samples on eBay. I’m usually able to sell the items I don’t want to use, and it often pays for my rsubscription box!

There is actually a swap part to this website but I believe there is a waitlist. I got off the waitlist but can’t figure out how to post items. Maybe one of these ladies can help you on how to do it better than I can lol!!

Right?? OMG it drives ME crazy and I am not working for boxycharm. It’s always the same damn ppl complainings and threatening to unsubscribe too.

Omg you said this perfectly!! No other box spoils us like boxycharm!! These entitled cry babies are ridiculous!! How about being grateful? How about that? Omg even on ipsy they complain complain! It’s annoying!!

Gasp! Us? How … could … you!

Just kidding! I once said something similar in these comments and was basically ripped apart in responses. Lol. Stayed away for awhile but am back now.

Nailed it!!!

LOL. For real. Blows my mind that there are always so many complaints. I mean, seriously…if you only like 2 out of the 5 products you’ve doubled the value you paid for the box. My favorite sub!

Lmao!! Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Every month wothout fail, there are erroneous unboxings posted far earlier than anyone else’s. I think they do it knowing people will watch theirs because it is the only,one posted that early. When I see that is what is going on, I stop it right away, give it a thumbs down, and flag it is as making false claims. It isn’t a hige deal. It’s just make-up but I hate to think someone would profit from spreading false info, whatever the content.

I think they’re the right spoilers… I just cancelled my membership (nothing against this box- I just have to go through some of what I have) and they warned me that, if I cancel, I’ll miss out on the concealer, highlighter and Pur product.

Hm, I’m a little skeptical of those spoilers being accurate since there is no concealer palette or PUR item shown. I don’t know for sure, though. To be safe, I don’t recommend subscribing based on those items shown.

Hope that helps a bit!

I hope you’re right! I’d much prefer those products appeared in the vdo more than this palette!

I saw those but didn’t see the concealer on there. I wonder if there’s a mistake somewhere.

Wow here I am thinking I pay around $30 CDN for Boxycharm every month. I’m glad I saw your comment and I may need to reconsider subscribing this month as I’m really not impressed by this box so far. I have more than enough highlighters and I’m not very fond of gold highlight anyways and I’m really unimpressed with the concealers-they will be pretty much useless to me, and the Pur brand I really don’t care for either way.

If I’m paying nearly $40 I’d rather go out and buy myself an eyeshadow palette or something I actually want and will use. Looks like I will be unsubscribing for April since these spoilers are underwheling to say the least

Usually there are tips on the Boxycharm card to help you. Also, watching legit unboxing videos on YouTube and reading these reviews has helped me get the best use of many of my sub products! I always watch a video and read the review before I try the items. Even though I have skills, there may be better ways to use these products and these reviews help! Have fun!

the idea with a palette like this is that you can mix the colors to meet your needs. If you find one that is exactly your shade and go through it, then you can mix a lighter one and a tiny bit of the dark one to get your match. You also need different shades depending on your tan or lack thereof, different shade to cover a blemish versus under eye bags. I think there is a lot more versatility to this if you think of mixing the colors rather than using them as is. I’m so excite to play around with this.
