That was last September’s box exactly! Is it just me? Even the card looks the same. I thought there was a Tarte teaser.

SO excited about the September spoiler!!! Love boxycharm! Every month have been a hit for me! Not a fan of the bright red lipstick in the august box but everything else was great!!!
Oh and did I mention, I’m SO excited for the September box ??

So I just got my first box. It’s supposed to be the August box. In place of the coastal scents blush, I got the ofra z palette and 6 eyeshadows (which I’m totally okay with!), but in place of the shadow stick, I got blotting papers. I’m hoping this is just because I’m new and maybe they didn’t have enough of the box left. I was really looking forward to the shadow stick :(. How often are there substitute items? I cancelled boxycharm and allure because I thought this was more reliable. I’m a little worried.

this happened to me too… BUT I’m so pumped that I got the ofra palette instead of the coastal one, that all is forgiven!

I just got my first box today and I got the same variations you did. It makes me worried too, I’m really hoping it’s just because it was my first box. Maybe they have to ad hoc boxes together for new subscribers when they run out of the featured items?

Yes I am very upset I bought 2 boxes because I wanted both colors of the eyeshadow stick and got none… so so so pis××× off…

I’ve only been with boxycharm for a few months and I love it. Only thing I’d wish to see if perhaps set up a profile. Some of the lip colors go terrible with my tone, so I find myself tossing them or giving them away.

Yup, I just cancelled…July’s box blew me away. Nothing in this months box really strikes my fancy. If a future box piques my interest I’ll Re-Sub for that month, I love having the flexibility.

In September Boxycharm will be including the Studio Makeup “Warm Up” eye-shadow palette that hasn’t even hit the stores yet!

Omg where did you find that out? I never even say “Omg” but now you have me excited. Tell us everything lol

Easy to skip month for me. I don’t need more mascara and coastal scents is pretty blah. The liquid lipstick looks red, which I’m also good on. Maybe September will be better.

Really? I love Coastal Scents! It was the Coastal Scents palette that caused me to sign up. I have the think Pink and the Winterberry palettes from Coastal Scents and love them. I also have the Bright Eyed concealer from Coadtal Scents. It’s a really good one. I think Coast Scents and Tarte make my favorite concealers. I hope BoxyCharm includes more Coastal Scents items in future boxes.

I was watching Laura Lee’s underrated beauty items video today, and she said that there will be a studio cosmetics eyeshadow palette in next (September’s box) and it had 9 fall colored eyeshadows.

This will be my last Boxycharm box for at least (and hopefully only) a few months. Actually pulled the trigger and canceled. I’m hoping to pick it up again if they have a black Friday sale.
We’ll see how long I’m able to hold out, because I just know Sept’s box will be super awesome-incredible and I won’t be able to resist! 🙂
So sad, I only have the heart to chop one sub box a month. Ultimately Boxy is on my keeper list, but I’m really hoping to sub responsibly with a deal! 🙂

Cancelled as I do not want the palette or more mascara. But I’m not sure if it when it soon enough or not. I really like this box but trying to slim down the monthly subs.

Anyone know if I cancel today, am I still charged for this month’s box? I see they updated it to the second day of the month.

Kudos to Boxycharm for always making their variations known! I’ve been subscribing for almost 2 years, and although there were 2 boxes that were a bit off earlier this year the value is always insane. I honestly don’t know how they do it each month!

I Love this box. It is my third one and I appreciate how they provide products that I have never heard of and products that are not cheap. I’m keeping my #Boxycharm I did cancelled my Birchbox I was not happy. I stay with Ipsy because I receive good offers that I just can’t ignore thanks for your feedback ?

It looks like it may be a great mascara? But…I’m confused by the info when I researched it…looks like a mascara, but appears to be used with fibers. A two step process?
The whole ” serum “thing is throwing me off.

Someone asked the same thing on Facebook and Boxy responded with a link to the item. It’s different from the one Liz posted.
I think it’s just the regular Amplimascara, not the two-part system, that will be in our boxes.

I noticed that too when I clicked on the link to learn more about it and was left a bit confused.

One of the reasons I didn’t cancel before the end of July, was the peek at getting another Doucce mascara, If I don’t get that, I’ll probably cancel the day I get my box. I’ve just not been thrilled with them the last 4-5 months. (But I did like most of the July box) Guess I’ll wait and see what happens!
