Any idea when this will ship. It’s my first box. How are people opting out of certain months? Do you not have to pay on the first for that month before you receive spoilers? Not sure how this sub works.

I stopped my subscription to wait to see what comes out. They take out payments on the first, and the spoilers generally come out after that. When I cancelled, I was able to pick the option of “I will resubscribe in the future” so we will see how easy it is to pick back up if I like the choices this month.

I actually got the Ardency Inn Modster eyeliner in Cream. Which is a VERY odd color to go with the smoky eye palette, but hey, I think I’ll actually use it more. Just not with this particular shadow palette!

I got the Ardency Inn eyeliner in a bright blue color, which I will never use because it’s not 1998 anymore

OOOOhhhh! I love the Modster line and hope I get that instead. Not cream though since I just bought it.

My info card didn’t specify the color, so there’s a good chance of getting a different shade, I think. 🙂

I thought they send out 5 to 6 items a month. Since when do they only send 4? This is my first month and I was expecting at least 5 items.

Thanks for yals replies! I was starting to get worried. Hopefully they will go back to the 5 or more a box next month!!

They normally do send 5 items every so often they send 6. I think this month they only did 4 because of the 3 brushes. I was a little bummed about that as well, hopefully next month will be 5 items.

It usually is 5 items. I’m guessing this month the brush set is considered more than one item?

So excited about this box! I can live without one more mascara (Me, my kid and my kid’s kid’s kid’s will NEVER have to purchase another wand again!) but this box is always consistently good. I mean, come on! A full size palette and brushes! Who else is doing that!

Does anyone know for certain if the brushes are all 100% synthetic? I don’t use natural-hair bristles so just want to be certain before updating my credit card info. Thanks!!

An infographic on the back of the box shows why they think synthetic fibers are superior to natural ones, so yes, they are. Browsing their website, it looks like the brushes are from their set called [R]evolution® Pro Eye Kit. I got BX-80, BX-90, & BX-95.

Checking their website, all the brushes seem to be listed as 100% vegan and made of Synthetic Filament – whatever that means.

Anyone know when they send out the box? I signed up in early January – does this mean I’m getting the January box?
Thanks! 🙂

Yep – your first box will be the January box. Not sure about the shipping date if you signed up recently. I know they have started shipping.

An eyeshadow primer would have been a perfect 5th item!that’s really the only thing I need. It is a great box as always! Gotta love boxycharm! !

I am so excited for the pallet. I just got a new edgy hair cut and smoky eyes look best with it and I don’t have any smoky eye pallets. Also I need more bushes for eye shadow. The eye liner I am not thrilled about since in the box we get one every 2 months and I don’t go through eyeliner that quickly. I have 3 other black liners waiting to be used when mine runs out. As for the blink product I am excited to try it out.

I am so excited. I also got this eyeliner in my Ipsy bag a couple months ago, and I totally loved it. Really happy to be getting another one. Though I am not sure how long Ipsy will last in the upcoming months, I am fairly certain I will be keeping Boxycharm. I have found the value is tremendous, and just can’t even justify to myself cancelling it!

At one point I was subscribing to eight different beauty boxes per month. Can you say OBSESSED??? LOL. With all the ones I tried, Boxy Charm has been my favorite. The value is definitely there, and I love all of the full sized products. I am down now to just Boxy Charm and Birchbox. I still miss having boxes to open all the time, but between birchbox points and all the full sized BC stuff, I’m content. I like this January box. I love the idea of getting an “all about eyes” box. The one thing I wish they had included is a shadow primer/concealer.

Thanks to Liz and the kind ladies who share the spoilers, we can opt in only to months that include items we want! What a deal! No more feeling duped or let down by a box that isn’t “us”.
All this good stuff, for only the price of the Coastal Scents palette. Wow.

Yay! I’m so happy you shared my post Liz! I don’t know how Boxy Charm does it every month, but they are amazing! This is a great box to start off 2016! ?

I just reactivated for this one! I have the last coastal scents palette and use it all the time. I also really need brushes.

While I do love the box, I’m a bit bummed that it only comes with 4 items. I know that technically it’s 7 items of you count the brushes individually and they did give us 6 items last month. But I still wish it had one more item lol.

This has got to be THE best box yet! Can’t wait to get this. I think I’m canceling either Ipsy or Allure. Haven’t been happy with them recently.

I wonder if they’ll repeat the other palettes. I don’t have any

I am so with you on this one. I am so bummed that I missed out on them in 2014. I want to collect them all.

I got that Starlooks eyeliner in an Ipsy bag and it’s wonderful! What a great box! I don’t even care about only getting four times when it includes a 3 piece full-size brush set and a full-size palette. That’s an amazing value for this box.

I cancelled Ipsy ( didn’ t feel I was getting my value and was getting overloaded by samples) and my universal yums ( loved it but new year and I’m eating healty those treats would be too tempting) and will be using that money just for boxycharm, every thing is something I will use especially new brushes!! If you just want to try a month they are the best you can cancel and opt.back in during a month and get that box, so you don’t so locled into it.

I was debating getting this after the last 2 spoilers. I finally caved ! This box is AMAZING!!! I don’t know how they do it for $21 a month. Especially when compared to bb and ipsy. $11 extra dollars and you get so much more value !!!! So excited !!

I know what you mean – I think “I don’t know how they do it” in terms of value all the time with Boxycharm and FabFitFun! 🙂

A brush SET? OMG this box. If I were to cancel all but one box I’d keep this one!

OK, Liz, you hooked me. I’ll sign up for this box, then cancel after it ships. This is a great value, and I’ll use everything. Yay!
