BoxyCharm March 2018 Box SPOILER #2!

I would be all for an eyeshadow primer or moisturizer, but a concealer would be hard because of all the different skin tones. Someone with a deep skin tone would not get used out of a fair or light concealer, and someone very pale wouldn’t get use out of a medium or deep shade. But I’m surprised that out of all the eyeshadow palettes we’ve gotten over the years, we haven’t gotten an eyeshadow primer. At least not in the 2 years I’ve been a subscriber.

Ooh, yes, good ideas…or, makeup remover :-)…A little off topic, but has anyone redeemed any Charms in the Charmroom before? Do you have to pay shipping if you redeem $40 on $38 worth of items (I understand I’ll lose the $2, though.)? Thanks in advance.

Yes! That is exactly why I came here. The palette looks so bad. Also, who swatched it? A grizzly bear? Just, no. Nothing against MSA at all! I meant that all for BC.

I have yet to recieve it. It seems blocked in the US and im getting annoyed to tell u the truth

Yes, they sent out an email letting everyone know that they were delayed because of customs policy changes. Im pretty irritated that it said 4-5 but its been almost 10 days.

I just signed up for both Ipsy and Boxycharm on Feb. 9th. I already got my first Ipsy, and love it! I also got off BoxyCharm’s waitlist on Monday, can’t wait! What didn’t you like about Ipsy?

Maybe a lot of people dropped their subscriptions this month. Or, maybe they increased their requested number from manufacturers this month in anticipation of more subscribers. It’s based on availability of products to fill boxes. I subscribed October 27th and I got December’s box, so I really only missed one month. It felt like 2 months though because I didn’t get the box til the third week in December.

Some times they do a “no wait list “promo. Maybe you signed up right when they started one or were doing one? Who knows? It seems random mostly anyways. I got on without ever being wait listed a year ago. Their customer service is very hit or miss,so even asking them what happened could take a day,a week,a month or never. You should just be thankful for it. The ammount of ppl who complain about waiting a month or two is endless. You got lucky. They only have so many places to fill. So alot depends on people leaving
Iv seen a lot of ppl getting off the wait list the past week and canceling theirs
. If you like subs Glossybox is like boxy and has more skincare items. A little more grown up imo. Maybe getting off so soon was just a glitch? Either way, congrats. It really is a good sub.

That’s exactly how I feel. I’m not sure why people are complaining when you only pay $21 a month for some full size products. The price can’t be beat and I’m always happy with what I get. If I don’t like the product I’ll give it to my friends.

I’ve never been one to complain about getting items or shades I won’t use, that’s just gonna happen with any sub box. I do however feel the right for people to complain about the fact that the Seraphine lip scrub and the Naked highlighter palette were the first (and most grand) spoilers, and one of the box variations didn’t have either item. An empty palette with a tiny blush is not equivalent to the highlighter and Seraphine products. Boxy should drop the variations and have just one box option with different shades for lipsticks etc. Boxy dropped the ball on a lot of their subs this month, and I’ve seen so many people saying that every single month, they’ve received the lowest priced box. I always want to ask where they live because I have a feeling that they might base the higher priced boxes on geographical location. Just my two cents…

I’m in Michigan and got variation 1 What did you ladies get? I was so excited for the lemon lip scrub since I saw it as a spoiler and was bummed I didn’t get it. I guess I feel lucky I didn’t get that glitter. I feel bad for those that did. My ipsy pulled thru and brought me the same exact scrub in a small container but I get a lot of uses out of it so far. I’m gonna use my pop up palette for my Bobby pins for now. With 3 of us girls we have them everywhere.

Agreed, honestly BC had been a miss for me in the last 4 months

I have to agree with you. For the 1st time in my 7 boxycharm boxes I have received, iam disappointed in February‘s box. But still that is pretty good though and there’s still a couple things I can use in this months box.
Looks like we got the same exact box

agreed

I agree with you 100 percent. The Naked highlighter palette and Seraphine lip buffer were the 2 huge spoilers on every site this month. I received neither product in my box :'( If I had not been able to find someone willing to trade, this would have been my last box. Very disappointing…

What did you get instead of the lip exfoliator?

Amen!! I have been subscribed to Boxy for 3 years and they continue to get better and better! I get so tired of the complaining and what do people really expect for 21.00. Go to sephora and see what you come out with 20 bucks. Not much. Boxycharm is always valued at at least 100.00 a month. If i receive something that isn’t my preference, i gift the items to friends and they love it! If you aren’t enjoying the sub cancel it! I honestly think people just expect way too much and are getting more and more picky.

I agree and could not have said it better!!

Amen.

I agree with you a 100% even if you like only one thing you are winning or ready

The waitlist is currently about 2mts- so it might be worth while adding your name now.

Yes! I would love to see a good skin care product in this box. I’ve had to wait until I finished other subs before I could even think about subbing to BC. I’m ready now, so I’m looking forward to seeing what else they might throw in. This might be my opinion, because I wasn’t subbed during the monthly palette mania, but a brush set and a palette with some cool shades seemed like a strong start!

I would love to see a new brow product as well.

(don’t get me wrong, I looked at the spoilers every month, along with reviews and unboxings…just buying my time until I could pounce! *ok with the waitlist, but hoping to get off in time for the March box!)

Yup same just canceled after a year of boxes and it feels great. I loved them at first but now its just the same thing each box they need to switch it up. Hope whoever gets my spot enjoys them too.

I cancelled at the beginning of last month. They had such awesome past boxes is why I subbed. After the December and January boxes it just wasn’t there for me. Not into highlighters and eyebrow products that don’t work for me. The second nude lipstick in a row was an indication also. Their negative customer service comments also pushed me into the decision to cancel. I hope someone gets my waitlist spot.

I cancelled yesterday too and I feel relieved. I can’t deal with all the glitter and this months naked highlighter was the final straw. I don’t want blue and green shine all over my face, and it seems Boxy has gotten stuck in a glitter highlighter brush rut. I have subscribed for 4 years and loved it until lately. Gone are the days of getting the occasional nail color, fragrance, or moisturizer. I’m happy someone who appreciates these glittery items can get off the waitlist and enjoy the fun surprises!

Loving your idea for a lip palette and lip brush!! Everyone who’d like to see this in a future box should suggest it to BoxyCharm. Ask and we shall receive lol.

The soirée palette we got from pur is one of my go to palettes. The formula is great. I’m SO EXCITED about the March palette. The colors are speaking to me!!!

I know people who have been waiting since August and September and are still waitlisted. Also, why wish that people won’t like the items in this box just so you can get one? Wait like the rest of us had to. We didn’t wish/hope for things like that.

Sometimes they will throw in a deluxe sample item but it’s rare and it’s usually an extra/bonus item.

Everything I’ve received from them has been full size. 🙂

Yes! They always send full sized products! This is by far the best subscription box!!!
