Honestly, how many eye palettes can you have? Every month I get a new palette and I haven’t even used the one from the month before. I wish they would stop and do more lipsticks or anything else. The eye palettes are what made me stop my subscription before and now I feel like stopping again.

We are getting 5, but the last 2 havent been announced yet. Gotta wait for the unboxings to come rolling in.

Hey Liz on the boxy charm website there is a flickering picture
Any chance those might be the variations ?

Yes! I love Dr. Jart products and I have been wanting to try out Colourpop for a while now. I’m hoping for either the MLP palette or the golden state of mind palette. <3

I hope I get golden state of mind or element of surprise and tarte.

I love the Colourpop palettes. They’re just as good as high end (if not better) and so cheap! I’m addicted to buying them so I hope I get Golden State of Mind or Semiprecious because they’re the only ones I don’t have. Boxycharm is such a good value. Even if you only like one item, the price of it is normally worth it.

Happy to see this box but will be my last box. I had a weird & bad experience with Boxycharm this month. I originally had an account with them, put me on the waitlist back few months ago.
Then they removed the waitlist, except that I was still on it.
So instead of waiting, i made the new account, got off right away. Then I talked to their customer service to delete my old account, which they said they will and charm points transferred to my new account. I deleted my credit card info from old account as well. This was March.
Now April, they suddenly charge my old account. Not just the account wasn’t deleted, somehow they resurrected my credit card info and charged. I cancelled both accounts, got new credit card. I won’t be getting any more boxycharm.

This will be my first boxycharm box and I’m so excited, it sounds great. I have the Golden State of Mind ColourPop, though… hopefully I get a different one. They all look so fun!

I broke down and subscribed for the 1st time. As a 32 year old work-from-home mom I don’t have much use for really colorful makeup, but the mask made it worth it for me!

if you are really one a budget, I recommend Ricky’s Cult Crushes. They are also a make-up subscription but only $11 a month.

Mona….the wait list in insane for it though unfortunately

I am being pulled to subscribe too because of the mask lol I was actually gonna purchase it when it first came out but it was a bit pricey … I’m 30 years old and not into the colorful makeup, but boxycharm seems like an amazing value every month..

Did anyone else notice one of Ipsy’s products this month is Manna Kadar’s eye candy? I wonder if it’s going to be in Boxycharm this month too? This is the first time I’m getting the infamous MK makeup from a box.

The Instagram Colourpop video Boxycharm’s Gabby did makes me feel like all the palettes would work . I’m already a fan of their lippies and one of their blushes. Didn’t know colorpop made brushes too.

I am so excited for this box!!! Perfect box to make a pregnant girl feel beautiful so glad I did not cancel! So so happy

I haven’t had Boxy Charm in a long time, but I could not resist this box. I was going to try a Colour Pop pallete anyway, so this is perfect because I will get the other items for just a couple dollars more than the price of just the pallette. I am excited; hoping for the My Little Pony pallette or the Element of Suprise!

I want one of these, but I’m so overloaded.

I swear I am so excited for this box. I literally do not own anything from colourpop and have wanted to try them for forever so this will be my first item from them. Then, I’m excited for this because I love everything I’ve tried from Dr. Brandt so far. I’m really hoping I will get the tarte liquid illuminator, but if I end up with the mac lipstick, I won’t be completely disappointed. I’m just super excited for this box. 🙂

Drafts. I (thankfully) have no need for this mask from the pimple perspective and ask weary of using a drying mask on my already fairly dry skin. I wish they had an alternative option for us!

I have dry skin, but I do have a disgusting amount of sebaceous filaments on my nose (I used to think they were blackheads, but I know the difference now). I have tried so many treatments for the congestion of the pores on my nose, but nothing except for daily extraction helps. If anyone can tell me how to control the sebaceous filaments, I am all ears (Please! Extracting them on a daily basis takes so much time…there has to be a way to stop this daily build-up of goop).

Have you tried any of the Clarisea products? I have big pores and had terrible acne in my teen years. I am now in my 50s and have tried many products over the years and this is the best product I have found. I also have a friend that now uses Clarisea to clear up his psoriasis.
Kim
Have you tried The Ordinary’s niacinamide 10% + zinc 1%?
Jessica
Have you tried a chemical exfoliant (like Sunday Riley’s Good Genes) or a combined physical and chemical exfoliant (like Kate Somerville’s Exfolikate)? I am prone to pore gunk in my T-zone, though based on your comments I’m not sure whether it’s blackheads or sebaceous filaments. My pores have never looked better since I started using Exfolikate a few months ago.
Carrie
Is that like the white stuff that looks like build up? I definitely have something around my nose, but it isn’t blackheads!

My CC expired so I tried adding another one and the page just keeps refreshing – has anyone had this problem? It won’t let me add a new card.

Yes I have as well! Finally gave up and re-subscribed as a new customer. It went through, however I noticed a couple days later they refunded my card!?!? I just want my subscription back😩

I love my Boxycharm..hands down the best for the money ..even if I get something that I can’t use..I gave it away..so everyone wins! Tried the other subs and not one can touch Boxycharm. I know many have complaints about CS..but they have always contacted me back..rather quickly I might add. I have found one time is sufficient in emailing them…I think the more the emailing the further down the list you go..just my opinion. I hope everyone gets to try Boxycharm..you won’t be disappointed 💜

Yup, it’s going straight to my niece. Every single time I use something other than what I’ve been using for skincare I break out. Any skincare item is an automatic bust for me unless it’s Drunk Elephant.
My dermatologist introduced me to that brand and it is so fantastic. Fixed my skin issues like they were nothing. I know they’re expensive but you get a lot of product and you only use a tiny amount so it lasts for freakin ever. So if you’re having skin issues and nothings really working for you just know you CAN lean on the elephant. They got you. No matter what it is.
Sorry for the tangent. I just really appreciate what they’ve done for my skin. Anywho…I did notice that Sephora has the Dr. Brandt listed as $42 on their website. So the value may be a little off. I always find it strange when a product is more $ on the brand site. Middle man places, like Sephora, are usually the ones with the markup. They have more overhead and they have to make their money. So if you end up liking this and want to repurchase, definitely save $5 and get it at Sephora.

I think they can do it cheaper at Sephora just based on how much they order. They probably get a bulk discount, so they can sell it for cheaper vs. straight from the manufacturer. I could be wrong, but it seems to make sense.
