Question-if you got the liquid Becca, what did your box weigh? Same with the powder? I pay for my daughters box, mine weighs .08 and hers .06-I’m assuming I probably got the liquid since mine is heavier but who knows. I’m fine with either liquid or powder, I’m just nosy.

I received the liquid highlighter and the eyeshadow chubby (instead of the nail kit). My box weighed .7 lbs.

Me, too. I’m not liking mine at all this month. Got the liquid highlighter, terrible lippie color, brown lip liner, and liquid eyeshadow. I have no idea what to do with that lol. I guess I’ll search YouTube for ideas.
Hopefully the Dr Brandt will work for me. Probably the only thing I’ll use.

I was hoping that nail tool kit would be in every box. Not in mine.

I made a conscious decision to unsubscribe from BC this month because I have so much makeup in my collection and I dont want to risk getting the liquid highlighter! I really cant work with liquid highlights. With my string of bad luck getting the latter product in my boxes, I’ll pass. I alsso dont look good in brown lipstick and I dont even use lip liner in the first place. Sorry BC, maybe we’ll meet again in the future

I am really not into brown lips – will this work as an eyeliner? This box is kind of meh this month. Hopefully I’ll get a lip color I can use this month that isn’t a green/grey color like last month – I don’t know anyone that it would look good on to pass it on to, and I’m a little leery of the swap sites. I’m fine with no pallet as I haven’t even opened the one from last month yet. I’m excited for the Dr. Brant, and I can always use another nail set (maybe to leave in my desk at work). I’m personally hoping for the powder highligher as I don’t have any highlight in a compact yet, and don’t really like using the liquid kind.

I don’t know why but I expected a little more effort for October 🙁 …. I agree with other comments, I was totally excited to see what the final spoilers were. I clicked on the link so fast and then was like…. oh. Oh well #merp

Sounds like typical behaviour from BC – a quarter of OMG they’re great, awesome, faulous & then they turn into WTF happened?
Then start all over again….

Ok… What happened to the palette? It was stated we were to get one every month through out this year…. I’m not excited about anything in this box for real…. Smdh….. Boxy needs to step they game back up… I would say I’m excited about the lippie but I always get colors I don’t wear so that’s out of the question…. And from what I have seen the
Becca highlight is not worth the hype Soo again I’ve lost on this one…. At least last month the palette was decent and the brow pencil was awesome….

I read on MSA’s facebook page in the comments that the “palette every month” thing was misunderstood. I guess he said it would be “raining palettes” but not that that meant there would be one every single month.

I always get colors that are orange/brown/warm-toned, and i HATE it, so i always end up giving them away, which is a shame since they are usually really nice formulas. Also, I’m so fair complected, that MOST of the highlighters or blushers that they have in their boxes are almost always unwearable for me :/ I was loving the palettes that they have been putting in these boxes, but I’m getting to where i might just give up on BC again. I was subscribed to them back in 2013 and wasn’t impressed. and then resubscribed in 2015. ended up not liking ANYTHING i got in my boxes for several months, and then resubscribed again about a year ago, and i’m just getting that on-again-off-again thing with BC….

Same thoughts on the palette! It was stated that everyone would get a palette every month for the rest of the year. That cheap looking nail kit is nowhere close.

Not my favorite box from Boxy.. but still worth the $21! Never tried any Dr Brandt product… Has anyone? What are your thoughts?

I have yet to try a Dr Brandt product I do not like, and I’ve tried a lot. I am super excited for it and just having it in this month’s box makes it worth it to me.

Dr Brandt microdermabrasion products are hands down the absolute best of ANY in the market!
If you are new to this product I’d suggest trying the black tube.
EBay has times of sample size tubes for sale if you’d like to try that before investing in the larger containers.

Dr. Brandt makes this box so worth it! The scrubs are so amazing! I am almost out of mine from FFF sub box and I was getting nervous- I don’t want to ever have to pay full price -$58 for a tube. I was so excited to see this in the spoilers last month. It really helps with reducing aging spots/lines/pores and it makes your skin so soft. I always get super dry and flakey skin in my t-zone when the season changes but not when I use this scrub!

I am in love with Dr. Brandt’s scrub. It makes my skin feel SO soft! And it’s such a tiny scrub, it feels really cleansing.

September was my first box and I loved every item! I’m not terribly excited about these last two spoilers this month and hope that there are variations, but the first three spoilers are completely amazing and more than make up the cost of the box. I’ve bought more than one Becca highlighter full price so I’m still happy!!

There’s an unboxing on YouTube with a different variation. Still underwhelming products though. But I’m happy with Becca and Dr. Brandt!

OMG, this stuff looks great! I’m always shocked at the comments section when it comes to subscription boxes. I feel like the beauty of subscription boxes is getting surprised each month, and getting to try new things for not too much money. So many complainers out there, if I get something in my box 4 the tiny amount of money I pay, I trade it with one of my friends or gift it. People are acting like they are paying full price for this stuff, and angry they didn’t get what they asked for. Just saying, this is the best subscription box I’ve ever tried, so much value for the little bit of money you pay each month! I am so appreciative

Well, I don’t know, honestly the only item in this box that I am halfway excited about is the lip paint, and that’s not worth $21 to me, especially considering that the color is a big question mark.
I prepaid for three months thinking there will be a palette in every box, but I gotta say I am regretting it now.

I certainly think it’s worth the cost, but the last two items are pretty meh to me. I was excited with the theme, but I don’t understand how these fit into “Spellbound” other than maybe the highlighter. TBH I was excited that with October we were finally going to get a bunch of fall colors to wear. Nothing autumn, Halloween or Spellbound , really.

True. If anything, this is a very random collection of items.

I thought all boxycharms would have an eyeshadow palette till the end of the year?

Boxycharm owner only said it would “RAIN palettes this year” but people started assuming that there’s gonna be a palette every month. He clarified it in one of the beauty groups.

There was an update in like August that said there would be a palette every month for the rest of the year.

Yeah, what happened to the palette for this month?

This box is just a little meh to me. Especially the last few items. Cannot complain too much as its way worth the value of the box, just probably wouldn’t use some of it. Looking forward to seeing what we have in store for next month !

I am excited about the Dr. Brandt and highlighter. Although, BeautyFix is also featuring the Dr. Brandt as well…haha. I guess I can gift the other one. Not excited at all about the Tarte lip gloss colors. Not excited about the brown lip liner either, although, I thought at first that it was a brown eyeliner and was excited because I NEED a brown eyeliner!! I wonder if I could use it as a eyeliner? The nail kit is pretty cool, good to have in my purse:) Overall, not their best box, but still totally worth it for me!!! The Becca highlighter and Dr. Brandt alone totally makes this box worth it for me!!

You absolutely can wear brown lip liner as a eyeliner!

Hoping for a wearable shade of the Tarte, but awesome box regardless. Three high-end brands in one box is amazing. Happy to have another nail kit, too. (The one that came in Popsugar has held up well. I’d gladly take one for every purse!)

I cancelled after last month. I wouldn’t use any of this products. I have a lot of skincare I have to use. I’m keeping my eyes on next month. I do love Boxycharm it’s a great value. Cutting back on cost. I might sub to something else cheaper like enjoy leggings or something like that.

Didn’t boxycharm say a pallet every month until the end of the year? Am I wrong? I don’t see a pallet here…. 🤔

Not every box can beat the previous like we have gotten in the last few months. I think these products are amazing and can’t wait to open them up to try. Thanks for making boxycharm my special treat every month.
