3 packs of Wander Eye Masks
Laura Lee Party Animal
Beautiful HOL lashes in Bamble style
Adesse Cuticle Oil
Smashbox Lipstick
Bang Beauty Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate
It’s a perfect, well co ordinated box that offers me a complete and exciting look. No more neutrals for a couple months please/Thank You!
I’m totally in favor of Boxy sending a variety of products, and hope they continue to doing what they are doing, because I want a surprise every month. If it’s something I can’t use- I give it away. The value is there- and I’m not ever giving this sub up!

I just got my box. Biggest pile of…. A metallic lipstick. The purple primer when I have crater size pores and combo skin. Nail oil. More gel liner that I’ll never use. And the palette. The only good thing is the eye masks and even those only came in a half pack – the full size is 6 sets. I’m done. I’ll do beauty fix or something else but not boxy. Not anymore. I feel like I got a box of clearance items.

Got my Boxycharm box today, not happy with the liquid eyeliner or the eyelashes, not going to use those! I am sixty, and I do not mind different colors and different products, but lashes and liquid eyeliner are a no go for me!!!

I send boxes to my Granddaughters and just checked the site to see a preview, and each of the 4 girls are getting the lashes….

I got lashes too. I did see on Boxy’s ig that there were 10 different types of lashes they were sending out, when I saw that I knewwwew the majority of people would get lashes. Oh well I don’t mind lashes too much, but I already have enough of them and only like short natural looking ones otherwise they look like spiders on your face!! Oh well also, because I can’t get lucky every month I guess lol. I did get the very rare farmacy mask last month!

Oh boo I just got an email from Boxy, saying I’m getting false lashes! Definitely the worst option of the bunch, how disappointing!

Do you get both mini eyeshadow pallets?

Lol, so much angst on here about not liking the fact that there are variants, complaining about a colorful (and not to mention sold out, so like, that has to mean something) palette, complaining about lashes, and all this when we only have to pay $21 a month for all this. The fun of subscription boxes is getting things you wouldn’t necessarily be willing to pay for or try yourself at full price. ALSO, how many warm brown tone palettes and neutral lipsticks does a person need? If Boxy gets hate for sticking with the same stuff and then hate for branching out, then clearly the problem isn’t with them.

Items sent to boxy for inclusion in their boxes are often listed as sold out on their respective websites. It’s because the manufacturer gave the majority of their stock on hand to boxycharm for the boxes in addition to sending out product to their other retailers. It’s a simple explanation. For another example when we got the Hans lipstick the shades we got were both listed as sold out for that month.

Super hyped for this box. I love Laneige skincare products and those lip products from Smashbox seem kind of nice too.

Laneige is in Play and Allure for August.

Everyone sounds like a bunch of entitled whiny brats! Just saying. I really don’t see any other makeup Box better than boxy for the value!

Please no more lashes. Some of us don’t wear them and you don’t even send glue to use them with. The last ones are just sitting there collecting dust.
And I swear if I get another lippy I can’t wear (I’m batting zero here – haven’t been able to wear a single one) I will quit. Stop with the orangey and reddish shades – not all of us can rock that color range. How about some tinted glosses that everyone can wear?
They really need to work on somewhat more personalized boxes – I have given away so much stuff I can’t use or don’t like lately it’s starting to feel like a waste of money 🙁 I will take more of the skincare stuff if they can’t personalize the makeup much.

Same hun, 100% same! I’m so over it that I’m not even interested in the boxyluxe at this point. It’ll likely just be more if the same old stuff that I can’t or flat out won’t use and either have to deal with selling, trading or giving away. I’m 99% done with boxy. They don’t seem to be listening very well to ppl. I email them and I don’t hear back for weeks. It used to be something so much better, but now it’s just a hassle. The more I think on it the more I believe I need to cancel boxy and get something else.

Hey all, I am looking for advice. I just started doing subscription boxes in June, and I think they are loads of fun, but I am getting carried away I think. Especially with the looming boxylux. I am curious to know if people are making sacrifices to get the BoxyLux. I am thinking of cutting my FabFitFun, unless people think this box will be better than the Lux. Or is anyone planning to get rid of the monthly version and subscribe only to the Lux? Currently I am subscribed to Boxycharm, FabFitFun, Ipsy, and Allure. I would love input from veteran subscribers to know which boxes they think are unnecessary. Thanks so much!

Personally I would never do FFF bc I don’t want a bunch of the junk they send to end up paying around my house lol. If you’re into makeup and beauty items then dropping fff for luxe is probably the way to go.

Same here, I have been subscribed to Boxycharm & Ipsy for about 2 years now. I used to get FFF about a year ago and half of the items were unusable to me so I cancelled. For instance, the cheap jewellery/mugs and scarf/wraps/ items were of no joy to me. However, I am very happy with Ipsy and Boxy, they are different and helps me find products that I may really like and want to buy in future.

This box looks good so far, I don’t mind any of the variations even though they are so completely different from each other. I’m still geeked about that palette so all the rest is cool with me.

I wish there was. I’m not going to talk about this disaster of an eyeshadow palette anymore. There’s no point. But this box (with so many variations) is looking a lot like random leftovers to me. If there was an option to skip a month I would definetelly use it now.
Reply
Jamie
Omg I thought the same thing! Like here ya go boxycharm – here’s all the stuff we haven’t really been selling a lot of recently. Y’all can have it for your box and we can write it off as a loss on our taxes! Win win!

Boxycharm Now has a Beauty Quiz for subscribers so Boxycharm can get to know your preferences. Go to Boxycharm and click on “Giveaways”. I googled it and thats where I found it.

Just remember it’s going to be at least 2 months before the results of the quiz translate to changes in our boxes.

Hi! What is the boxyluxe? And do we have to purchase it separately or is it just an extra box that comes with our subscription?
Reply
Barbara
Even though I am not thrilled with the Laura Lee palette, I think the balance of the items are good. Nothing exciting so far, but a solid box…AND we have 3 more items to come!
I just updated my profile on the Boxy site, so I am curious to see how the added information will effect the future boxes. I’m really happy to see they are pressing themselves into new areas.

I’m going to unsubscribe. I just get so many variations with stuff I don’t use. I already have plenty to gift/donate. Once improvements are fully implemented, I’ll reevaluate.

Great Box! I don’t wear eyelashes though but if I get them I’m sure I can give them away.

I really wish that there was no survey and limited variations again. This is the main reason I subbed to boxy. I liked that I got a bunch of products that I never would purchase myself and got to play with.
For example, one of the questions make you select if you like lashes or not. I don’t wear them often but wouldn’t mind getting a pair or two a year. If I don’t select I will probably never get them but if I do I might get overloaded with them.
I like variation in what I get throughout the year as a whole but not variation between what I get and what someone else gets each month. It easily leads to disappointment and the grass being greener.

I just got that mascara in the Pinterest box and got lashes in some box, I forget which one but I don’t use them. I have 2 drawers of mascara, it is so confusing now when I get ready lol. I have plenty of backups too. I should get rid of some

I love my boxy charm and it’s always worth my $21, but I can’t wait til the quiz results are in full effect. With variations like this being so different from one another there’s always one you really want more. I don’t wear lashes and just received a new mascara . I’m hoping for one of the primers, would love to try.

They didn’t even ask if we like primer 🤦♀️
Reply
Jamie
There were a lot of things they didn’t ask. A lot of questions were lacking in the range of answers. I was annoyed when I couldn’t skip answering a question – like which nail polish did I like. The actual true answer is none, but since that wasn’t an option I thought I would skip it, but I couldn’t bc it wouldn’t let me continue the quiz without pitting an answer for every single question.
Like most everything boxy has done lately, imo, this was a missed opportunity to really find out what ppl wanted since questions couldn’t be skipped, questions didn’t have a “not interested” option for an answer and so many more things. It’s like they said yeah this is good enough. Let’s launch it. Whatever. Kinda how I’m feeling abt boxy atm.

When I seen your name at first I thought I left the comment then realized I hadn’t yet but your comment is exactly what I would of said. I have 13 mascaras and still trying to figure out the last set of lashes we got so I hope I get the primer as well 🙂

I have a feeling not many people will put they want lashes in their quiz so I’m thinking they’ll send them to just those … hopefully

I put I do not want lashes and that is what I am getting.

Well I could have sworn I just got false lashes last month but maybe it was in another subs box. Anyway, I am getting the lashes of which I don’t want. I don’t get the huge price difference in options!!! Why do some get high dollar stuff and others like myself get the $8 variety? It never fails, whatever the cheapest box is, I GET IT. I still think it’s a great deal but have to throw it out there. I kind of wish there weren’t spoilers… Then I wouldn’t have to always feel like I’m getting the “raw” end of the deals.

I was literally gonna comment the same thing! I don’t mind any variation at this point as every product featured is amazing !

Conspiracy theory : they grew to large too fast and now they are forced t use old stock from previous boxes as csroents. For example, I am pretty fit one of those Becca primers was in the LE holiday box — it’s like they are just scrapping things together at this point.
