Anyone know if there is a BoxyCharm swap group? I am a women of color and most of these nude lips stain and glosses are no-nos. I have Tarte Pillow-talk to swap.

Ugh sorry! I bought pillowtalk when they had the tarte build your own set and I am pretty fair skinned and it looks like I ate a powdered donut so I know that will not work for you!

It is October 1st and I have gone way beyond antsy. I signed up for BC on September 13th and was waitlisted. I am hoping I’ll receive October’s box. I love the Tartiest lip paints; I’d love another color. Before wearing them (or any super long wearing matte lip stuff) I exfoliate and apply lip balm. I also put a small dot of clear lip gloss in the center of my lips after applying the lipstick and sort of pop my lips together a few times. Cures the over-dry feeling and still lasts all day.
I’m really sorry I didn’t sign up sooner. I would have loved the last two palettes. I hesitated while reviewing lots of beauty boxes. I don’t use commercial skincare products so I prefer a box that is mostly makeup – if not all makeup. Of all the boxes reviewed for 2017 BC seems to be the closest to what I want. I have ipsy and have been happy with that but let Sephora’s Play go. We’ll see if BC is the winner. …and if I receive it for October.

I tried the liquid highlighter at Sephora. I have fair skin tone and the color looked like a golden bronzer on me. I don’t think it will work for fair to light or even medium skin 🙁

if you get the liquid and I get the powder I’d be very happy to switch with you!

The charms shop has been updated, everyone. There’s more than just a sharpener and a polish in there now 🙂

I’m having issues “patiently” waiting on my box. UGH October please hurry!

Does anyone know what the waitlist is looking like for October? I’m getting married and really wanted to get October’s box.

I believe the waitlist has been lifted off and on, you could always email CS and find out! 🙂

I tend to love anything that BoxyCharm sends me, but (just like I still make a list for Santa every year, just in case) for the lippies, Nope: Salty ,Pillowtalk, Get It, Homeslice (these will all wash me out) Please: Delish, Front Row, XOXO, or Bestie. I would WAY rather the powder highlighter than the liquid. But again, anything is wonderful and such a good deal!

i see a lot of bad reviews for the blush and how they received it instead of the setting powder….i got a box that had the blush and the setting powder? did i get both by mistake? but i like the blush gives a nice subtle fall blush to the skin.
Reply
Cheyenne Skaggs
I LOVE the blush, I normally hate blush because my skin tone is funky. I either look like a clown or a well, clown. You’re so lucky to have gotten both!

If I signed up now, would my first box be the September or the October? I am leaning towards wanting to start with the October box. Should I wait until Oct 1st? Or is the subscription one where you start with the next month’s box?
Reply
Allie
@Jenai if you sign up now, it depends on when you get off the waitlist. There’s no guarantee you’d get October’s box if you wait til October, whatever month you get off the waitlist is the month’s box you receive. Personally? I’d sign up now- if you get Sept. box and it’s a variation you don’t like or won’t use? Save the items for Christmas or birthday gifts maybe? I’ve done that and it’s saved me in a pinch, and the people who got the stuff loved it. Just a thought 😀

I was wondering if I were to cancel how difficult it would be to resubscribe? I love Boxycharm! But I don’t really need any of these items on the spoiler and Sept wasn’t much for me either. $21- for a month or a few months adds up! But I’m sure I’ll want to go back. It’s s great box!

This year so far haven’t had any major issues or issue delays on waitlist.
I’ll be canceling Oct & hoping for a better Nov!

If you get the liquid and i get the powder, i would love to swap. I have so many powder highlights and not a single liquid. Dying to try one especially a high end one from Becca and it looks WOC friendly!!!

Can anyone fill me in on the charm shop? They gave me $10 equivalent in charms for a damaged item and it only has a pencil sharpener and puke green nail polish in the shop. Do they ever have better items or much in there?

They have new items now, or they did earlier.

@Nicole-ahhh, the Charm shop. I have over 11,000 charms and haven’t been able to use them. I pulled 40 out to get a primer which they showed as available but when I went to apply the charms it wasn’t. So I have 40 charms floating around that I’ve asked them repeatedly to put back, hadn’t happened.
The update the charm shop very infrequently, you basically just have to keep checking every day, like 2x a day because when they DO restock it, nothing stays available for long and all that’s left is that stupid sharpener and awful polish.
As much as I adore Boxycharm and think value wise it’s probably the best box out there-the items are 95% high end and outstanding-their customer service SUCKS. It’s impossible to reach anyone, and even more impossible to get a response. I’ve all but given up with CS and just hope I never have an issue.

Try commenting on their FB page. I did when I received a damaged item and got a reply almost immediately!

If you still havent gotten your charms back check to see if your code still works. Then email them back and ask for a supervisor. Good luck ☺

I agree! I pulled out $20 in charms for something I didn’t get and still have $50 in charms and nothing to buy!!! It’s frustrating because it’s the only reward system for loyal customers out of all my boxes that does more to upset us than thank us for being loyal subscibers!!
Nicole
Thanks for the info! My pur palette had the dark brown shade cracked and while still usable it went into other pans and I just asked if a replacement was possible. They said from my photo they determined it was from shipping and not their fault bc they order them pristine from the manufacturer so they will offer charms towards a replacement product. I thought that sounded nice until I looked at the charm shop! At least I got a prompt response.

They add new things like once a month or something but they sell out so fast if you don’t check back often youll miss it

I loved my box and the loose blush looks pretty good on my skin (I have olive skin) just messy at first but once I got the hang of it it looks good. I just hope I get the pressed Becca highlighter not a fan of the liquid ones. I was lucky to get the foundation brush in this box which I needed one anyways.
