Just curious with all the talk of the weights, if anybody’s was .85 pounds? My first boxy is supposed to be here Saturday and I’m dying to know what I got besides the highlight palette and face masks!

Mine weighed around .9 and my mother’s weighed .79 yet we both got the exact same items…. I don’t think you can go by the weight as it didn’t make any difference in our boxes…
In our boxes
Ofra lip in a dark orangish color (it never fails, I always get lip colors I can’t use)
2 masks
Small Briogeo leave in conditioner (the cheaper one not the milk)
Palette III (I think the colors are pretty but very similar to every other one I’ve received. The packaging is great though)
BBB brow in dark brown (again, another color I can’t use)
I thought we were supposed to get full size items every month?

How can you tell the box number?

There will be a number in the corner of the card in the box. You won’t know until you get the box itself.

I am still waiting for my December box!! I have contacted “customer service” a few times now and they are useless!! the first time they responded, they said to check with USPS and if they can’t help me to let them know. the send time they said to wait until 12/24 for my order when I should have received it by 12/15. the 3rd time they finally agreed (a year later) to reship my box but it would not ship out until they do the shipping of the Jan boxes!! WTF! they did not eve offer to do anything for my missing box like credit me for the missing box, give me something extra in my replacement box or not charge me for the Jan box! absolutely nothing extra or more was done by them. It has been the worst customer service I have received in a long time. I know most companies would have replaced my order for free and shipped out a replacement ASAP and I know this for a fact because I had another issue with a different company and they took care of me fast. That is how you should take care of your customers. My tracking number showed an Error and they are acting like I am trying to get over on them and get an extra box, hello I never received my original box!!! I love BC but I hate their CS team!!! they have a lot to learn!
sorry for the rant but it really pissed me off the way they treated this situation and on top of it, that box was going to be a Christmas gift!

The briogeo is a great product and works well for my hair and my Mother’s hair for detangling and hair growth. I noticed we are getting both products in ipsy & boxycharm. I think the briogeonis going to be travel size in the ipsy box and that is why we are getting 6 products this month. I noticed that ipsy is giving out the ofra highlighter for the 3rd time, but im.excited because I dont own 1 at all and will be happy to try the product out…. I think boxycharm should slow down on all of the variations..I like the box, but some of the rainforest vol.3 palette colors dont perfom.very well. I watched 3 videos and it’s a lot of work to host it to perform. I will just use water with my shimmers.

All 3 of the Bite Beauty lipsticks are pink & on YouTube Joe confirmed today that the Better Then Sex is an item we’re ALL getting in Feb!!!! Looks like he also had some sort of Morphe palettes on the table behind him! He has his own YouTube channel now with less then 500 subs-so go show your support ladies!!!

My email shows the Highlighting palette, the Tatcha masks, and a lipstick in traditional shape, brand and color not specified.
I usually get Box #1 but I don’t know if this is it.

Usually, we get an email by now that the box is on the way but I have heard nothing from Boxy. Has anyone received their box yet? This is for the January box.

I just got my tracking number last night coming from Georgia & its almost to me, I’ll be getting it tomorrow! It says it’s with FedEx instead of USPS who usually gives it over to USPS but this is saying FedEx will be delivering!? Who delivers everyone else’s box?

Getting the highlighting shadow palette and Tatcha eye masks.

My question is where is the better then sex mascara? They said it would be in January box. Yet I don’t see it. I would love the new sizzle palette, smith and cult or bite lippie, but I really want the mascara. I don’t want this box. Please.

Ugh. After last month, I wanted to cancel but told myself to hold off–definitely cancelling if I get the leave in conditioner.
I got that stupid hair straightener last month.
Here’s the thing: I have no hair. . .

Noreysol
Omgosh I love the conditioner. I have wavy course hair that conditioner really helped tame it. I went to order from the site and they were out of stock and Sephora was out as well. Too bad we don’t live closer I could trade you if you get it and I don’t.

I requested the straightener from CS, was told no. Instead I got yet another palette.

I Asked for the straightener and got the palette and complained to them about it and they sent me the straightener. Definitely contact boxycharm and they will fix it for you.

Around what day of the month does the box typically arrive?

Apparently this box is variation #2!

This is version 1. I only get version 1 and it contains the exact items shown in the picture except for a different color in the Ofra.

Okay…. soooo we JUST (at least some of us) received that briogeo leave in conditioner spray in a recent box. I still have a half of a bottle of it!!! I hate when they repeat items.

I saw them swatch a coral color lipstick on Instagram and I SO want it. It was from Bite Beauty. If anyone gets it and wants to trade, let me know!

I usually get Box #1, so this won’t be too bad. I’m hoping the thing underneath is a blank book, because I love those.

Boxycharm is a great subscription for me, because you get lots of different products to try. I loved the Pretty Vulgar Palette we received in a previous box! I love everything except the eyelashes!!!

Ugh!!!!! I need that awesome Smith and cult, and the shadow pallete in the middle! That’s the only one that’ll work for me @boxycharm!!!!!! Awesome boxes ahead either way I reckon! Yall’re great!

I cancelled when I saw the spoilers instead of renewing for another 3 months. I wouldn’t have been angry or anything, but I’m glad to have postponed renewing. I would have loved to try anything else by Tatcha but I detest sheet masks. I am also maxed out on brown/neutral palettes. I usually get dark lipsticks, which I hate so meh. I’m cool skipping this one. I think it’s a great value, still, and I’ll be looking to see what’s coming up for February. But I will ditch this if it’s sheet masks more than a couple times a year, they are just a scourage to the planet and belong in the whatever ring of hell contains plastic straws and k cups.

I was so excited until they showed the lips as options and the Briogio I received last time was the trial size too. And I hate that stuff. So disappointed

Mehhhhhhh. I might keep it since the tatcha is worth more than the price of the box so everything else is essentially free. But sooooo boring this month.

I do not subscribe to BC but I hope I can swap for the Sizzle palette. I have several nice serums listed…

Yes please!! I love the Ofra liquid lip stick formula!! Its so GOOD, out of all the liquid lip sticks I have (and I have quite the collection, about 5 New 1’s a month for about 3 years straight), Ofra is my favorite out of them all!! Ofra is AMAZING, my favorite shade is Mocha!! I’ve bought that color like 4 x’s now!! Mocha is a brownish mauve shade and I guess it could be a universal flattering shade for all different skin tones, I’m thinking that’s how I acquired it the 1st time, but I love that color and bcuz it’s Ofra, I think I originally received it in a Beautycon box and that was a long time ago!!
I thought we were getting a Better Than Sex Mascara by Toofaced?? I was so looking forward to that mascara, that’s my favorite mascara!!
So I’m hoping I get the Rainforest of the Sea-Sizzle eye shadow palette, the Ofra liquid lip stick, Tatcha sheet masks, the Briogeo leave-in conditioner and than whatever the last product is!!! I LOVE Boxycharm/BoxyLuxe!! I can’t wait to get my box but that’s like every month lol!!

I usually get Box #1, and if the blank book and pen comes with it, I will be happy. I like blank books, I’m weird.
Hopefully the lip color will be as shown, and not one of several options.
But, yeah, the randomness is becoming irritating, especially since they haven’t rolled out any way to express preferences.

Hoping this isn’t my box that lip stain is way too dark for me and I don’t use brow products…I’ve been pretty lucky lately with my boxes so this probably will be haha

Ugh. This is disappointing. We are shown a Bite Beauty spoiler, only to find out that it’s highly unlikely that we will get it. They have also focused on the Sizzle palette.
Fwiw, Smith & Cult shows all of those lip products out of stock, which tells me that Boxy bought them. Some are new releases. Bite and Ofra don’t have products shown out of stock.
I’ve been with Boxy nearly 4 years and some months I ask myself why.

Ashley
I agree. I always tell myself not to cancel with hopes for the next month being better

Flipping through the Instagram link on the Boxycharm website, both the Bite and the Smith & Cukt items are some form of pink.
This is the rare time I’m hoping for Ofra because it’s a red. I think.

Noelle
If I get bite which I probably will and you get the lip gloss would you want to trade ?

Enough with Ofra! It is not equivalent to the other 2 brands IMO. Plus both color options are too dark and bold for me. I actually like that Briogeo product but have gotten 2 of those recently and am hoping for something else. This will be it for me with boxy bc of overload but they drew me in with the Tarte and had me at Tatcha this month.

Vanessa

Dont like the Ofra lip products. They are so yucky, apply horribly, have a super thick consistency and has a weird fragrant to them. Sadly still nobody is buying them. Pls stop stocking the boxes with them, it’s a throw away item and just a filler for quantity in the BC boxes. I wonder why they are still sending thsee out, charmer must be rating them high for reviews -_-. I’m emailing them if I get it, and I probably will get it!!! Lol.

Yes I saw the IG try on but it said only 2 shades of Ofra on there.

Ofra is quite comparable to the other brands, and their products are used in the beauty industry by numerous professionals. They aren’t as common as you can’t buy their products in Ulta or Sephora but their stuff is incredibly well made.
