I read this post and just had to sign up since there was NO waitlist! Within 3 minutes I got an email that I’m on the waitlist and might not get this box.
So disappointing!

Are you still on the wait list or have you received a box yet?

I just saw a YouTube unboxing with a couple variations. There was an eyeliner and lipstick instead of the cream blush and nail polish.

Depending on the colors, I hope I get that one! Nail polish is just a waste of space for me, and that cheek-lip thing doesn’t appeal much to me either.

Bonnie
I hope I get that one too. I love nail polish, but I don’t have very good experiences with Adesse.
Karen
Oh thank goodness, no more highlighters. Now if we can get something other than pink for lips. But what a great box. Super excited for it to come every month.

I’m glad that were not getting another highlighter. I’m overwhelmed with highlighters.

I subscribed so I can get this box. Does anyone know when I can unsubscribe so I don’t get next months.
Reply
Ashley
Just unsubscribe as soon as payment is taken. Payment means you are getting that box, so once they take your money for the August box, cancel. They will take money for September’s on September 2nd, so the 1st would be the latest to cancel and not get September’s box.

This box may be my favorite! But knowing me, I always get the boxes with the variations, so I slightly get sad when I don’t get what I expect. Oh, well right? July box wouldve been my favorite if I didn’t get that shimmer lotion thing.

I LOVE Boxycharm! It is an outstanding value. I get 7 Beauty Boxes monthly. If I receive any products I will not use, I have 2 teen nieces who are thrilled to get them. My box is always packed well with no items damaged.

There’s a group on Facebook called subscription fanatics and we all love sub boxes and have more then one at least lol they post spoilers and stuff and pictures of there boxes
Jackie
😮😮😮 15?! That’s crazy! I can barely fit ipsy and BoxyCharm into my budget! 15 sub boxes is probably more than my monthly car payment.

This box looks great…all of it, but now the question remains what are those 2 alternative items that are not shown and which many of us will receive.
Sigh…why do they do this? I love Boxy and I think I will leave it at that.

Subscribe before they start the waitlist again girl!! If you love makeup, you are going to be addicted to this sub!

This will be my third box and I am so excited for it. So far there hasn’t been a single thing in either of my boxes that I really wanted. This box seems to be filled with only things I want! I hope I get the lip & cheek cream and the nail polish!

Liz,
Do you if the brushes are full or travel sized?
Also, what is the thinnest one for? I’m assuming eyes, but which function?
Reply
Emina
I’ve never received travel sized brushes from Boxycharm 🙂 I think they will be full-sized.
Reply
Robin
They are full sized it seems and the thinnest one looks like a blending brush as it looks to fluffy to be a crease brush.

Liz,

It’s a foundatiom brush, powder brush, and highlight brush.

Julie
Awesome, I was just about to buy a foundation brush now I don’t need to!
JAnn
Thank you, Sisi!
Lianne
Looks like a blender brush. Definitely won’t be travel sized though some travel sized brushes would be welcome now since they’ve all be full sized.
Reply
Colleen
Yes, it is for your eyes. I believe it is a crease brush or blending brush for your eye shadow. I for one am very happy because I can never own enough.

If I order today, when should I get it and how do they ship? I am on vacation two weeks from tomorrow and dread the thought of my items melting in a UPS, USPS or FedEx warehouse while I’m gone.

I got an email right after I signed up on August 3rd that said the boxes usually arrive the 3rd week of the month. Hope this is helpful to you sweetie!

Lianne
You’re probably fine. Mine almost always come in the second half of the month.

Sandra
Have USPS hold your mail. My BoxyCharm is delivered by post office, although, it starts to ship from another mail service.

I signed up last month just so I could get the August Boxy with the Tarte palette. It looks like that’s the only thing from this box that I’ll be interested in. I ended up loving last month’s box though.

Wanica
i feel exactly the same way. Signed up to get Tarte last month, accidentally ended up getting July and surprisingly loved every item.
Reply
Tiffany
When did you sign up? I just signed up yesterday, do you think I would get the August box?
Jackie
Woohoo! BoxyCharm gets me every month! This box is going to be a hard one to top. I hope next month doesn’t suck because we got a kickass box this month.
Ohh who am I kidding? I love my BoxyCharm every month and haven’t been disappointed yet and I’ve been with them one year this month!

Can someone (or Liz if available) tell me how I sign up to swap or how I get there?? I’ve been an active participant here on MSA for a long gun but just now interested in swapping. I appreciate any help! 🙂
Reply
Susan
Go to the swap area of the board and sign up. It took me less than two weeks to receive an email that I was off the waitlist back at the end of June. Make sure to check your spam folder every once in a while in case the approval email goes there. Mine did. Good luck.

I’m very interested too! I’ve got a lot piling up to swap!

I haven’t been here that long, but I can’t get in to the forum or swap board.

I would like to know also. I think I’ve been on the waitlist for a year!

Yay for brushes (I almost bought some earlier last month and then the spoiler came out for this box so I waited) and eye shadow. Boo to eyelashes. Meh to the variant items. I will anxiously await my box arrival and see what my mystery items will be.
Reply
Granny
I’ve gotten several brushes from my Ipsy sub over the past few months. I really like Ipsy to.
Reply
Korey
Can’t wait! This time, with the last two spoilers, I don’t actually care if I get a variation. Not a big fan of cream blush or Adesse nail polish (too liquidy and takes too many coats for my taste) For those of you wondering, I did ask BoxyCharm and no eyelash glue will be included (which is now obvious from the picture) just FYI. I got some for $3 this afternoon so I am ready to experiment 😀
Reply
Bonnie
Too funny. I was going to say I wasn’t a fan of Adesse for the opposite reason. Too thick and takes forever to dry because it’s so thick and hard to spread. At least we agree that we don’t like it. I suppose I’ll suck it up though because I’m happy with everything else.
Reply
Julie
I really want the brushes but not crazy about the rest of the box. Wish the palette was the one with lighter shades.
This is a wait and see for me. I was disappointed getting the ofra last month but ended up liking it.

Me, too! I will never get excited about Boxycharm until I have it in my hands!!

I am so excited for this box! I don’t need nail polish so I hope I get something different but I need those brushes and the pallet looks awesome! 🙂
