I am so excited for these new brands, especially Becca, MAC and Cover FX!! Like what, how much more amazing can Boxy Charm get! Boxy Charm is my favorite subscription box by FAR! Thank you Subscription Addiction for showing me all the subscription beauty boxes. I totally addicted and now subscribed to 6 different beauty boxes.

Yay! My box is finally on it’s way. Hoping BoxyCharm is as good as the hype. I’ve dropped down to only this and Ipsy, and considering dropping that as Ipsy can’t get it through their head I do NOT need black eyeliner EVERY month. Looking forward to different palettes each month, as I’m looking for beauty boxes and not just skincare. (Although in a few months, I may resub to Birchbox or Allure once I’ve worked through my current stash. That’s the fun of boxes, isn’t it?)

If your sick of eyeliner, you can email ipsy and opt out of eyeliners. You can’t opt out of a color, but you can opt out of a product. Didn’t know if you knew that. You used to be able to opt out of 3 types of products, but from other comments, looks like you can only opt out of 2 now. I opted out of nail polish and face cream and hand cream in the past and my bags have been pretty Damn good ever since.

Wait WHAAAATTTT???? I have a million eyeliners and could of opt out of them??? I had no idea, that is good news. because other people didn’t get them and I am over here with a basket full. Do you just tell them please no more or do you have to ask each month?

I was subscribed to Ipsy, Play by Sephora and Glossybox but I eventually cancelled them all for Boxycharm and don’t regret it. That one subscription box makes me so happy compared to receiving those 3. I love it!

I also had Ipsy, Play by Sephora, and Birchbox and cancelled them all and came back to Boxy Charm. I too have no regrets and will never go back to any of them. Boxy Charm is the best makeup sub box ever! I am so excited about these new brands they will be adding. I cannot wait to get my Sept box and start loving makeup happy mail!

Can’t agree more! I am in Canada and I currently only have two beauty subs, one is Boxycharm and the other one is Topbox (only because it is a Canadian sub).

SOOOO Glad I resubscribed a few months ago… I’m sorry I took you for granted, Boxycharm. You don’t know how good something is until it’s gone~ 🙊

Same, I just resubbed and I’m never letting go. I’d rather pay $21 for deluxe and full sized items then the teeny samples from these other boxes.

For years, I subscribed to 6 boxes, then a few months ago I unsubscribed them all. Couldn’t live without BC and just restarted again. This is by far the best subscription box.

Any clue how long it takes to get off the waitlist? I waited juuuuust long enough for them to waitlist me to sub 😫
Reply
Jackie
Email them and ask. Sometimes it’s a few days, sometimes it’s a few weeks.
Reply

They normally won’t give you a good answer but as a rule of thumb (recently at least) if you don’t get off this month you should get off on September 2 when they bill for that box. Of course if they suddenly have a huge waiting list that might not be true but since the waitlist was gone for a bit this month I can’t imagine its big yet.

These look great, can’t wait. August is my first month and I still haven’t got my shipping notice. Has everyone’s been sent out already?

I got the email last Tuesday, 8/8, that my label was created. My box still hasn’t shipped. I’m hoping it gets going today.
It is frustrating to know it’s been sitting there almost a full week, ready to go, but hasn’t made it onto the truck yet.

It’s really random when in the month you get your box. Just be patient…it WILL come and you will be happy.

Yes they sent mine out last week 😉

Boxycharm shipping blows. They ship to influencers first. Influencers usually have reviews up before shipping even starts for paying customers. So this is typical in the last 2-3 months. Even when I get a shipping notice, it doesn’t actually ship for another week. I get a notice that a shipping label is created and then it ships like a week later. Last month I got my box July 22.
Reply
Amber
Exactly! I actually pointed that out to them in an email, the fact thaf mine sat there for a week and a half with only the shipping label created and they replied with a typical “Unfortunately, once your box ships out from our facilities, we do not have any control over the route the mail carrier takes to get to your box to you. While the box is in transit in between states, the tracking information will not update until it reaches the next hub and is scanned.” But my point was that it clearly shows that all they did was create the label 😒 lol. I mean I love boxycharm but it’s annoying that they don’t at least try to fix that or care that people get irritated by it.
Sandra Branum
I got my box the very last week of last month, so I totally kno where your coming from!!! That’s my only complaint with BC. They will tell me it has been shipped but then takes over a week to get here!!! Oh but they get there payment on time tho 🙁
Zo
My July box didn’t arrive until July 29, a full week after you received yours. It stinks.

has anybody noticed the palette fromjune, the blinc palette the tarte palette and the pur palette are all about the same?4 months of neutrals?
Reply
Christine
The blinc palette are warm neutral intense shimmers, the tarte palette volume II is considered the cool neutral palette in the three volume collection and consists of satins and shimmers, and the Pur palette is a neutral palette with mattes, satins and shimmers. The Pur one is the only one with real mattes/transition shades.

The Blinc palette is neutral? Yikes! I thought that palette was, how do you say…’electric’.

Agree. It’s too much for me to wear.

Most makeup subs send neutrals to try every month. The difference here is that I’m getting an entire palette instead of one color. Plus, the colors are different, as are the brands, the formulations, and the finishes. That’s why I get makeup subs–to try different products in the hopes of finding some game changers, like the Kat Von D Lock It concealer in Sephora’s bag. I had to try dozens of similar shades of concealer to find that gem! (Over dozens of years as well!)
We’re incredibly lucky to be getting palettes at all!

Boxycharm….. I remember the early days of expired, last season drugstore makeup and Glossybox was the top contender….. You’ve come a long way…..showing Glossybox how it’s done now! Can’t wait for these boxes!

Yes! I cancelled last year because it had gotten so bad and they tried passing off some Ofra eyeshadow tins as full size and it was just so downhill. But I had to resub this summer because they’ve been killing it! I finally quit Glossybox.

I’m so excited!!! How could anyone not be?! And if they are cancel so those poor souls on the waiting list can get in!!! How on earth do they afford to do this … not to mention make any money off us!? So awesome!! Can’t wait

Boxycharm is one of the best boxes around and it’s only just $21 a month. I really don’t mind all of the palettes, Lippies, skincare etc. I’m on a fixed income and can’t even think of paying or affording the full price of any of the products in these boxes. And, many of these products are full size where as many boxes only offer sample sizes or deluxe sizes at the very least. It’s a luxury to be able to treat myself & & get to try some really great products. I’m a happy girl.

I’m right there with you girl! I’m on disability but I should still be able to try these awesome brands. If not for subscription boxes I wouldn’t have this opportunity. I love makeup and whatever I don’t like I plan to give to my makeup loving friends for birthdays and Christmas gifts so I’m not losing anything either way. The bags & boxes are great for gift purposes so there’s always a purpose 😉😍❤️💄✨💅
