On boxycharms website, is there a way to tell if you’re on the waitlist aside from the email they send you?

maybe you added 2 boxes to your cart without noticing. Happened to me while I was on waitlist. I cancel and resubscribed so maybe you will receive 2 boxes this month

When were you charged? They might have charged you for August and September’s box? That’s the only reason I can think of.

Take a screenshot and send it to their customer service. they’ll release the second charge. It’s happened to me

This happened to me twice. The charge was pending. Then, it appeared to charge, again. Then, the first charge dropped off. I did notify my bank and they assured me it was only one charge.

I am super excited for this box! I almost bought that palette and so glad I didn’t yet! I am hoping for the lighter brow pencil and for the bare minerals brush though! And really, really hope that colour pop lippie is not a matte. Those are so dry! I am wanting to try one of their satin lippies so I hope it’s a satin (that is if everyone gets a lippie). Can’t wait to get this box and I’ll be happy regardless of what I get. Luckily there are facebook groups that I can trade products on if I get the wrong color. 🙂 Boxycharm is seriously killing it! They’re getting better and better.

I already have the bare minerals foundation brush and want the shadow/eyeliner brushes! If you get the shadow brushes and I get the foundation brush, we can totally trade if you want! I don’t get my box until closer to the end of the month though. Also– they’re all satin colourpop lippies too!

This is a makeup subscription. Eyes: eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, mascara, lashes lips: liners, lipstick/paint/gloss general face: primers, contour/bronzer/highlighter, blush, foundation, powder. Other: brushes, skin care, hair care. This is a monthly sub with 4-5 (this month 6) items. We’re going to have products we receive more of because they aren’t as dependent on our hair/skin color. I am thrilled with what we get each month. I can’t stand getting a box full of skin care. There are a thousand boxes out there that just send skin/hair care. There are only a few actual make-up boxes left and I am so happy Boxycharm is one and for only $21 a month. If one of the lippies is a $6 item who cares? It’s 1/3 of the box price. The value of this box is through the roof.

not to mention skin care is much more personal! its the largest organ in our body and im super uncomfortable just slathering anything onto it. I read ingredients very carefully and do a lot of research on every single skin care product before i so much as sample it because ive had terrible experiences with skin care that wasnt right for me. After years of trial and error i have pretty much solidified my skin care products and budging from them wouldnt make sense. So I am much more happy with getting random lipstick or powders that may or may not work than I would be getting skin care that would be a definite waste.

Jojoba oil. I had cystic acne – my chin would never clear up. I rubbed jojoba oil on my face before bed and it completely cleared my acne. Its been years since and I still use jojoba at night.
Lori
I have to agree with you Aleena, I’m still in the process of finding the right skin care for myself and I’m dealing with cystic acne (@43 ugh) right now 😥 I’m going thru early menopause due to fibromyalgia and never having children so my hormones are driving me & my skin crazy! I didn’t have this issue as a teenager so I’m not sure what to do exactly but I’m currently trying Proactiv+ and keeping my fingers crossed that it’ll clear up soon….

Briogeo hair mask ugh! That’s in every freakin box out there, I really can’t take another brush. Omg!

Trade it or sell it on the boxy page on fb then.

Was excited for 6 items until I see why we got 6. The briogeo is travel size and colourpop is super cheap. Not feeling this month at all. We get the same items every month. Something different would be nice. Full size shampoo and conditioner? Eyeshadow primer? The eyeshadow palettes are beautiful but my goodness it takes forever to use one. I’m still on November 2016’s!

I mean, it is only $21 a month. I don’t think it’s bad at all for the price.

Bye! You can unsubscribe if you have an issue with it. Yes, they are “Cheap” but so what! If you don’t like it then stop getting it! Come back when you finish your other palettes then! They give us all these things so we can try them. That includes trying the same products in different brands! Geez. You sound extremely ungrateful. You were excited about six products til you realized they were cheap. WOW! If you want expensive products then go buy them yourself instead of counting on a 21 dollar box to give you all high end, expensive products! smh

I don’t understand why anyone has to be “grateful” for the contents of these subscription boxes. We pay for the boxes. And Boxy wouldn’t be in this game unless they made money off us.
Wendy
It was my own personal opinion. Way to blow up and go off on me. I thought this was for discussion, not persecution. Take it down a notch and not be so self-righteous.
Amanda
Not sure why you’re personally offended over someone’s opinion…

Strange, I left a comment on how the Bareminerals brush sucked and it never appeared.

Did you try the brush with bareminerals foundations??
I’ve never tried it before but my sister in law swears by it!

I wish boxy started giving spoilers for all box variations, like sephora does… will this be a good box? A meh box? Who knows??
Reply

I don’t like how Boxycharm uses influencers to promote their service. They ship to influencers first and always send them the best variations of the box to build hype and sell more subscriptions. There is a reason they don’t release all the variations because the other variations aren’t as good and usually have less value. Paying customers have to wait for our boxes and we usually get the less desirable variations of the box. I’m paid up until the end of the year and I’ll probably drop Boxycharm after that.

Laura
I think the reviews are genuine when the reviewer pays for the box. These spoilers are just free promo for the companies. Why don’t the sub box companies put the updates and spoilers on their own sites. Liz does free promo for them and receives the items often early and at no charge.
Amber
Agree 🙁
Nicola
I’m so glad I cancelled. I couldn’t take yet another neutrals/browns/pinks eyeshadow palette. The brushes look good.

I am excited as always. I love my boxy. Along with most my other subs. I think I have weeded out the bad and down to 16.

16 subscriptions?? Wow I thought 6 was too much for me lol

I’ve seriously cut down on mine. I was at 11 between my husband and I, but he’s cancelled his and I’ve just kept Boxy, Sephora, Allure, Fab Fit Fun, and Popsugar. Every now and then Julep will release a color I want, but I really need to use what I have first. I miss the Glossyboxes more than the actual contents. Ha.

I’d rather take the money and purchase the Balmain x L’oreal beauties 🙂

Yes!! And they told me they could send it out as a “one time courtesy”. Um, it’s not a courtesy if I’ve already paid for it!

Ugh! I was so excited when I saw the July box, and I was thrilled to subscribe, thinking I would get that box. But I didn’t, I got the August box instead, which didn’t have a single item I’ll use. Now there isn’t anything in the September box I can use, either. This looks awful!
I am so bummed. I was so excited to subscribe, and this has been a total waste of money. I wish I had subbed month-to-month so I could cancel this mess.

There are groups on social medias you can join to sell things you can’t use. Maybe just until something comes along that you do want. I had join a group on Facebook because at the time I was waitlisted here. But now I don’t have to go that route anymore as I am off the waitlist. If your interested just let me know.

Hi Alba,
I’ll swap for your Brigeo masks! I have loads of full size new hair care products I can’t use. Or skincare & make-up too.
I’m approved for swap, but I still haven’t set up my acct.

I thought everything was full sized this month? Wouldn’t that make the hair mask full size as well? IJS.

The full-sized hair mask comes in an 8oz jar/tub. Per the comments below, this is a 2oz tube. It’s a decent travel size though! I’d get two uses out of it. 🙂
Lane
I’m really excited about this month’s box! I’m not too keen on the hair mask, as I have tried several products from that brand that I didn’t care for. I will be swapping the mask if I get it, but no big deal. Everything else looks great!

Praying to the makeup gods for the BM brush, the dark eyebrow pencil & the hair mask.
If we HAVE to get another CP lippie, please let it be a gloss or satin. NO MO MATTE!! & YES to everyone suggesting another product altogether from CP. Ipsy has their Brow Boss as an option, & I nearly fell out of my seat.
I have zero use/need for any loose powder that isn’t translucent, & on blush overload already.

I’m hoping for a different Colourpop lippie color. I’ve been sent so many nude brown colors between Ipsy and Birchbox. I’d like to see more pinks or reds even.
