BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review – April 2017

I have a question. So i like a few items from previous boxes and am a little dissapointed because i am just now going to sign up for this. Is there a chance i will get those products or am i not going to because they are already in a previous month box? Does everyone get different boxes?

Not with Boxy, but ipsy, BBox and Glamour always manage to be missing items or (especially powder eyeshadow, highlighters, and blush) they arrive damaged.
Glamour is the most responsive followed by ipsy (Haven’t preferred bags Dec.-April) and BBox.

This happened to my March box…it appeared to have been tampered with and only included 2 items. I had to send them a photo of what I received and they told me they would send me replacement items. I don’t have them yet but feel confident they will be shipped.

I had a very hard time getting in touch with them (almost a month) so I would send a few emails from diff emails if I were you, but once you get in touch with them they should send you a whole new box or the missing items depending on the representative you get! 🙂 Good luck!

Me too, love it!!!

It doesn’t lessen the value at all. That brand just sells to other retailers that sell it for $5. It’s still a $20 value.

When I signed up (around the 3rd or 4th of the month), I didn’t have to be on the wait list, but I still did not receive a box until the following month. I’m thinking if you sign up now (fingers crossed you aren’t put on the wait list as well) that you should receive next month’s box. 🙂

Hi Chelsey,

I got the sponges and would love to trade for the brushes if you are interested.

I’d swap the blenders for the brushes! Happily. I didn’t end up getting the brown lip gloss I got a pur lip in fiery instead so I can’t swap for brown.

I got the Allegory Story in Plato’s Closet and would trade for the eyeshadow if interested!

I haven’t got my box yet or the email from this site saying I can swap which is annoying- BUT I will not use brown lipgloss or the sponges if that’s what I get so I may check back with you!

If I get the sponges I’d trade for the brushes!!

I also got this variation and I am so much happier! The only difference is that I did get the sponges.
I’m curious for reviews on the shadow! I want to try it but I don’t want to keep it if it’s similar to a few other shades I own already.

It’s so funny I got the same exact things you got and I’m not a new subscriber. I was hoping for the sponges too and the gloss🙁 I though only new subscribers where getting the brushes.

Oh wow I hope I get the variation you got! I’d love the serum, brushes, and eyeshadow! My shipping always takes forever.

I got the same box.

The aloepure is amazing.

Oh that would be perfect!

Brownish nude shades are my best colors as I’m a redhead… but then they don’t look “nude” on me because I’m so pale, they appear copper 🙂

I love both! Pinks and brown/nudes. I love getting subs because I like trying all these new products and shades. I’m open to just about anything, although they do seem to come in waves…one month everybody’s sending reds, then everybody’s sending nudes. There are very few colors I hate wearing, but even when those arrive, I give them a try to see if maybe this one is workable. Boxes have helped me get over my aversion to red and dark lipsticks, as I’m always game to try whatever they send. (My skin tone is on the dark side of medium.)

I am very pale skinned. I don’t like nude lip color as a rule but I find the brown nude colors are useful in changing the color of a lipstick I wouldn’t be able to wear like an orange red to a cooler red so that I can wear the color. I line my lips and then fill them in with the liner before I put on the lipstick or gloss. Also keeps the color in the lines. Not my favorite color but it can be put to use.

Brown nude shades on pale skin looks weird to me, I think it look more flattering on brown or black skin so I guess some find it flattering.

Pinks are too light for me and make me look washed out, so yes, brownish nudes are more flattering for me. People have different skin tones and different tones so different things work for different people. I don’t know that generalizing things to ‘anyone’ is recognizing that when something may not just work for you, personally, when it does personally work for other people.

Lip products in brownish nude shades remind me of the 90s, which makes me feel old 😂 They’re not the first colors I typically reach for, but I think they could be fun with tan and/or bronzed summer skin.

Whatever month you get notification that you’re off the waitlist/your card has been charged will be the first box you receive, regardless of when during the month they charge you. The waitlist seems to be a recent development because they’ve had high demand. Hope you get a box soon!

Yes, I’m in the market for a concealer. I picked up one from Walmart in a deep shade but it’s way too light. I don’t know how to use the neauty blenders, I’m hoping to get the brushes instead.

Me too! I just got my Beauty Fix today and the red lipstick is amazing except for the red part! Made me long for a nice neutral shade.

I use highlighters as eyeshadow, so there are more used than just for highlighting purposes 🙂
