So I just subbed to Boxycharm, so September will be my 1st box. Them having all full size products & a full palette is what sold me on this box being the best for value. I initially thought maybe that’d be BeautyCon. They said they start shipping on the 10th of the month. Does anyone know how long it takes to get your 1at box?

Hopefully you have gotten yours. Im still waiting for mine but mine appears to have been stolen as the community mailbox has plier damage and I got a key but no package. So sad as I was excited about this box. The postal service is aware and I emailed boxycharm but no resolution yet. Sad face

I usually didn’t get mine until around the 27th 🙁

It might depend where you live but in my experience boxycharm ships mid month and I usually get my box the third week of the month.

This is my 3rd month with them, and my third month getting a palette! Great deal!

Does anyone know when they start shipping for this month? It seems kind of late.

I haven’t heard from them yet. I noticed they ship mine late but I receive it a few days later. Unlike when I was in APO in Germany they ship it early but I receive it a month later or sometimes none at all LOL

This box is only worth it to me if I get the Butter London nail polish. *fingers crossed*

If you don’t get it, I can send to you.

I’ll trade if you get the lip crayon! I’m not on the swap site, though. I need to do that. I am unfamiliar with mailing things other than paper. ?
Beth
I’m really loving this box…only issue would be if I received the brush
boxy sent me that same brush a while back…literally the same exact brush.
Hope they keep track of things like that.
I’m so glad this is a pencil “black” eyeliner I never get enough black liner!
I’m so glad it’s anything but mascara, I have 10 full sized tubes that won’t ever get used….ugh…ill take eyeliner anyday!

Agree! I’m tired of getting brushes since I got lots of them already. I wish I get the Butter London one. Even I am surprised I’d rather get a nail polish than brushes lol

I love the brushes can’t ever get enough but I never seem to get them 🙁 but did receive my box today and must say I’m so in love❤️ Everything is wonderful and full size on top of great products I’m never giving the subscription up (hopefully I will start getting more brushes between all my boxes

The lippie color is different for different boxes, I have seen mystic and fiery so far hopefully they have nudes as well.

I started getting this box in May I think. I’m so tired of eyeliners!! They do me no good being as how I’ve had my eyeliner tattooed on! But even if that wasn’t the case they always seem to have at least one if not both of the same two items in the boxes! Eyeliner or nail polish! One month there was some god awful old lady smelling perfume! Other than that I like the boxes I’m just not nearly as satisfied as I thought I would be with them!

I’d love to get my eyeliner tatted on but omg, that area just scares me! lol.

So I know if you subscribe even the last day of the month, you’ll receive this month’s box.
Does that mean if I subscribe, say, September 30th, I will receive both September and October boxes in October? Because I will be billed also early October? How does that work?
Reply
Charlie
You *might* get one if you order that late but it is no guarantee. I’ve done that before the box was sold out so I didn’t get it. I got billed on the 4th of the next month for that month’s box even though I subscribed on the 28th of the previous month. So if the box is sold out, no you won’t. But if it isn’t then yes you’ll be billed for that month and then again at the beginning of the next month.

I subscribed at the end of August because I saw the pallet spoiler for this box. They immediately shipped me the August box with the Ofra pallet in it from July, I assume because they ran out of the contour pallet from August. I have been billed for September but it hasn’t shipped yet. I’ll be quite upset if it doesn’t come because it is the reason I subscribed.
Reply
Cady
Oh my goodness, I would LOVE that Ofra pallet !!
But yeah I get you, after seeing the swatches of the eyeshadow I think I’ll wait til October to subscribe. I would hate to be in a situation where I miss a potentially great box for subscribing to one I could live without.

I bought my box the end of July. I got the July box and missed the August box.

I am so excited for this box! I use to subscribe to Birchbox and Glossybox. Still have Ipsy, Sephora Play and Boxycharm, and by far Boxycharm is the best! Ipsy keeps disappointing me, so I am on the verge of cancelling that one too :(….. Does anyone else feel the same way?
Reply
Regina
I already cancelled Ipsy. I don’t like their products. I mean they have some couple of nice stuff but for the most part it’s all meh.
Reply
Nan
But Ipsy’s only 10 bucks. I usually get a good variety of items and I love the little bags to organize everything. For the price, it’s my favorite.
Reply
Ritkin
I know, that’s why I keep hesitating….. then I get disappointed again. I will keep it for another month, you’ve convinced me 😉
Alisha
I agree with you. iPsy only gives small products and things you don’t even ask for
Reply
Alisonka
I absolutely, 100% agree! I got rid of birchbox and allure and glossy box. I’m loving play! lately and couldn’t resist boxycharm. This is just my 2nd month, but couldn’t be happier. Ipsy has been disappointing lately, but this month is somewhat okay for me so I’m sticking around for a while. I have julep as well, but it’s so different from everyone else. Love their products and can skip as much as I want to.
Reply
Ritkin
A friend of mine has Julep and loves it, but to tell you the truth if I get another box my husband might just kick me out of the house with all of my boxes(just joking), but I think I am staring to annoy him by making him watch me unbox them 😉

Fingers crossed for the nail polish! I’m such a fanatic with nail polish. ??????

This box is great but I’m giving the video review a big ‘ol thumbs down; I wish I had three thumbs to give it three thumbs down. What’s the point of an umboxing video and a beauty guru if she’s not going to swatch all the items? Don’t be a cheapskate and pop open that eyeliner so we can all see how it swatches. She clearly got the box free to show us the subscribers.

Ritkin
Totally agree, also wanted to see the eyeliner swatch 🙁

Agreed!

Katy
I thought that was weird too especially since she acted like she was going to open it at first, then didn’t. And being that the eyeliner is what got me to fully decide to buy the box, I really wanted her to open it up and show it.

I agree to.

YAY! So excited now that I’ve seen the full list of items, even more excited.

I’ve been getting Boxycharm since February and WoW they really do have the best boxes. I hope I Get the brush if not I still like the nail polish over the lip product. But I like all the products and would be happy with what ever I Get.
Reply
Tater
If I get the brush I’d love to trade you if you got the polish! I’m loving matte nudes right now. My luck is I’ll get the lipstick. I hate it and never use it and I get one every month in my ipsy. How my luck goes! Lol. Awesome box though.

They rarely have coupons. I was waiting for one as well, but got antsy and subbed without one ?. I believe the last one I saw was sometime around april.

I’m excited for this box! Everything looks great, and surprisingly, I’m even kind of looking forward to the hair mask. Usually I’m not really into that stuff but this one actually looks kind of cool. So glad I dropped Allure for this one!
Reply
Tater
Ugh I hated allure. I dropped them also for boxycharm. Now I do ipsy and boxycharm, bark box. I’m glad it’s a full size mask with many uses available. I hate a sample size cause you don’t know if you really like it or not it normally takes a few tries to know for sure.

When does Boxycharm ship? I am new to this sub this month and haven’t got a shipment date yet.

I seriously love boxycharm!!! This is becoming my favorite sub!!! I wouldn’t have minded a makeup setting spray though, that seems within camp theme lol but I will use everything even any of the variation products!!! Mainly excited for the $50 palette 🙂

So… I just subbed to Boxycharm! Will I get this September box? I really hope so ?

Yes you will! As long as you subscribe any time in September you’ll get this month’s box! ?

Thank you! ??

This is my 2nd box and I couldn’t be happier with the choice to sub to boxycharm! What a great mix of stuff. I don’t LOVE every product, but the size of the items is great. The hair stuff is not really my cup of tea and I’m hoping for the lipstick over the nail polish. But after the awful experiences with Allure and Glossybox, this is very pleasant.

Alisonka,
I’ve just signed up, so this will be my first BoxyCharm. I would LOVE to get that nail polish & happy to trade you or otherwise take it off your hands, if you don’t want yours.?? I’m soooo with you about the Allure box. Cancelled mine b/c they couldn’t get it right. It’s more than annoying when other people get 8 items & my box shows up with only 4.
Reply
Alisonka
I did get the nail polish. If you got the lip crayon, I would be very interested in trading still ☺
Jennie Copelin
I hate that they are giving different item possibilities now. One reason I liked Boxycharm is because you know for a fact what you are getting. Lame.
Reply
Irene
I agree that is what I did not like about Glossybox. I hope they don’t keep doing that. I wish they would allow us to pick out what we would like in our box. Because after all, we as the customer would be the one to buy the product after we run out.
Reply
Tracey
True, but at least the items seem to be an equivalent value. Unlike *cough* Allure.
Reply
Alisonka
AND at least they’re telling us what the variations are and not making us think we might get all 3! And totally agree, they all seem to be somewhat close in value. Hoping for the lipstick. I only use sponges and eyeshadow brushes.
KarenG
I cancelled Glossybox and replaced it with Boxycharm. Excellent choice, I love this box and all the previous boxes I’ve received from them.
Awesome possum! ??
