BoxyCharm January 2018 Confirmed SPOILER #2!

You guys saw the third one?

Same

So with you on this!

Lol same! Im waiting for #3 too

Agreed!

I would much rather they include a palette I want to try like a Huda beauty obsessions palette in warm brown or smoky, or a Jaclyn Hill palette, or Nyx warm rust palette, or Wet n Wild walking on eggshells, or the comfort palette… things people rave about but I want to try.

Subscription boxes are the only way I get makeup other than the basics of foundation etc. I wish there was like a best sellers box… this palette I may use infrequently and get a cluttered vanity.

Anyone else think like a highly rated best sellers box is better than trying obscure makeup or some niche makeup? Anything out there like that?

I quit glossybox bc of the hair product clutter. Now I’m feeling a palette clutter coming soon! I have one too many of lipsticks in the not so perfect shades etc. Maybe I should really try the swap site. Is it ok if I used a product once like on an eyebrow gel to see if the color matches?

Help! Lol

That is a beautiful idea… I never thought of that

You seem like a great person!!

I hope you don’t mind me co-opting your message but donating to a local LGBT shelter is great too! They give makeup to trans women (or homeless/abused lgbt women in general) and they rarely get any makeup/self care donations they can give to women in their care, so if you don’t have a nice women’s shelter or want to help some lgbt ladies in your area you might consider a local lgbt shelter as well! :)))

That’s a great idea! I do get products that I don’t use and I typically give it to my friends. Merry Christmas to you too!!!

I love that idea of donating all the extras! I have so many I never even thought of that.

Yes it will be!

That sucks about the want. Have you contacted them? They seem responsive through Facebook.

And yeah…this was my first box from them, and I was less than impressed. I have no need for yet another bronzer. Otherwise, I didn’t hate the rest of the stuff; I just didn’t get terribly excited. That said, I love shimmery shadows, so I’m looking forward to the January box.

I gave my nieces this sub for Christmas. What I did was sign them up in October & they got off the list in December. It seems like the general time on the waitlist seems to be 1-2 months.

Boxy is known for their HORRID customer service. You may not hear back from them at all. It’s a shame because they’re easily becoming the best sub box but have the worst customer care hands down. The horror stories are vast and wide. You’re better off just waiting the few months to get off the wait list vs ting to contact them

I couldn’t agree more about their CS. I fortunately have not had to deal with them but I see the struggle others go through with them and that is not even remotely right. It kills my soul to see them do people that way. The solution is so simple. Boxy is an incredible deal but their bad CS team will kill them for a lot of people. It’s a shame.

Same here i have been on waitlist fron october 8.

You I want to subscribe to Petit Vour instead? They are exclusively CF.

Aw man yeah that sucks. For some reason I thought they were? But I looked it up and you’re right, they’re one of the “we test where required” companies. I guess that’s better than nothing, but still not the standard I try to go by.

Boxycharm usually is really good about including mainly cruelty free products. If they incorporate substantially more that do test on animals, I think I’d have to cancel.

And I get that they’re not a cruelty free box, but still, it’s something I really appreciated about them, that they almost always use cruelty free products and say they try to do that last time I checked their website.

How do you know that they contain parabens Christine? I cannot find product info anywhere as I believe Boxycharm is where Crown is debuting the palette. Maybe Liz or someone at MSA can get an ingredients list confirmed for us. I just signed up and was taken off the waitlist two weeks later in December, I’m guessing due to how unpopular that box was. I signed up to receive Boxycharm’s famous palettes after falling in love with the WinkyLux palette only to then discover that it includes an ingredient I am avoiding in eye shadows which is in virtually ever Urban Decay, Colourpop, Karity and Juvia palettes: Ferric Ferrocyanide. If this palette has parabens I think I am unsubscribing for now as I would rather subscribe to a box that is more about natural ingredients. Also just got another Tarte
palette in their flash holiday sale 70% off! May try Lola but I see they do not have great customer service either and quality of their palettes don’t seem to be great either from customer reviews.

I am not surprised!! I got a $25 palette from them and it was the nastiest make up I’ve ever seen. It was like sidewalk chalk LOL I wouldn’t even give it to my 6 year old for play makeup. I tried to talk to them about it but they wouldn’t offer any kind of resolution SO I disputed the charge on my credit card and got my money back- jokes on you and your cancer palette Crown!

Heeey MUA here 🙂 *waves* So, light bounces off the skin and it does penetrate foundation. If you are wearing an illumining primer it will reflect the light back through the foundation. Fun Facts! Make Up Forever Ultra HD foundation is formulated with all spherical molecules so the foundation lays into itself and the skin giving it that natural skin look. Other ones have all sorts of shaped molecules and they will refract light and sit unevenly into fine lines and even within it’s self.. Also, light is what plays a vital roll in how contouring products work too. Bronzers reflect light (thus that “beach” tan look) but proper contour product is actually formulated with grey undertones bc contour catches light and defuses it to create a shadow… Hope that helps 🙂

I cancelled for the same reasons. I have so many products and only one face. Hopefully someone who is currently on the waitlist will be given my spot soon!

Same here, just cancelled because I have to at least make a dent in my stash. I loved it the six months I had it, hope someone gets my spot right away.

I’m guessing it’s going to be a Tarte palette as well. I think the contour palette most likely.

Yes please – the Tarte palette!!

i know the clay play palette has been on sale and so has the tartist contour palettes so maybe
