Am I the only one that is getting cuticle oil instead of the Briogio hair stuff? I feel like I’ve watched 1000 unboxings and I haven’t seen anyone receive cuticle oil… This is my very first box and I’m overall extremely happy with what I will be receiving, but I didn’t even see the oil on the website. I emailed BoxyCharm and asked what I will be getting since it’s my first box and this is the list they emailed me back
Jackie,
Thats strange Cuz I don’t see the cuticle oil on their site. Did you sign up late? Maybe they ran out of some stuff and sent you the oil.
Jackie
How do you find out what your getting? I’ve been all over the BoxyCharm website trying to find something like ipsys “glam room” where it tells you what your getting, and I can’t find anything like that. 🙁 October will be my first box, and I’m kinda torn about it. I think the brushes and the palette are awesome because I love neutral eye shadows, but the rest, I could live without. How long does it take to ship? I subscribed on the 16th and still haven’t heard anything 🙁

There’s a section under their menu that says current box and past boxes. Or you can email them.
If you ordered halfway through the month I wouldn’t be worried that it hasn’t shipped yet. It’s not like when you buy something online and it ships right away, they have to ship to the people in front of you first.

When did you place your order? (What day)

Lupe, October 6th. I still haven’t received my box. I emailed them asking what I was getting and when I was getting my items.
This is what they replied:
Since we have a high volume of subscribers for this month, we are making sure that the boxes are being shipped out by batch to ensure the safety and to avoid inconvenience. That is why we stated on our website that it takes 5-10 business days from the date of payment to ship out your box from our shipping facility. Rest assured that once a label is created, and your box is shipped out; you will automatically receive an email with your tracking number.

You lucked out for your first one! That’s a lot better than the standard one established subscribers are getting.

Just received my box today. Another variation is in the lip paint…instead of Starlooks lip paint I received the Japonesque Pro Performance Lip Lacquer in shade 3. It is a very pinky color instead of the mauve. Value is $20.

Got my boxycharm today. The blow dry creme is not my favorite. I really don’t like the smell. It smells like a floor clearer. It takes longer to dry hair and it does live a little residue. It does make hair frizz free though. The lip paint color looks great on my hand but is way too dark on my lips and looks more brown. It also has an uncomfortable waxy feel. Eye Shadow just ok, it will fall down under eyes so be careful. The brushes are just brushes. Never something I’m excited about. I got the temptu bronzer and I’m actually pretty happy with it. It looks very natural on me. It wasn’t the product I wanted but it worked out to be the best in the box. Lol

Do I have to resubsribe every month? Or does it do it for me automatically?

It should automatically renew every month until you cancel.

Just cancelled 2 boxes and about to cancel this one too unless I get a red lipstick. After 5 months of boxes, I have highlighters, black liners, and neutral lipsticks, None of which i will ever use. I can always use some brushes, but really? I would love some blue or green liners or shadows or some sparkly ones, maybe pinks. I bought a huge organizer from Amazon which is full mostly of things I can’t see ever using. I’m at the point where I could use the 20.00 to buy one of my favorite lipsticks instead of all this stuff I can’t use. I really don’t care about the price if I don’t use highlighters. At first I was excited but now I’m cancelling each subscription one at a time. I still have 3 left, one is target which is always good for 7.00 and I don’t expect anything drop dead fabulous, but for 7.00 sometimes its better than other boxes.

They sent me a dark red lip paint which is a beautiful color but not on me …I would gladly given it to you as I can’t use it and don’t know anyone who can ? I agree with more color as I would some green,purple or mauve-ish color eye liner

Does this box ever send not-brown eyeshadow? Seems like they’ve had a brown palette every month forever.

They’re sending out a Burgandy palette next month, but if I remember right, there are only 2 burgandy colors… The rest are brown lol.

I really want the Cargo Blush or Bronzer…but knowing my luck I’ll get one of the other two options. I love everything else though! 🙂

According to the email I got from BoxyCharm, I am getting the water resistant Cargo Bronzer. I would send it to you if you’d like it. I’m not a bronzer fan and I’ve never heard of the cargo brand lol.

Has anyone gotten their box yet? The two YouTube videos I’ve seen have both gotten the Temptu. I’m wondering what the variations are and if the lip shade varies. I’ll be a lot happier if there are variations in the lip color. Dark colors are not flattering on me.

I’ve seen about 4 videos and they’ve all received the Temptu and the same shade of lipstick so far. I’m waiting to see more to check out the variations 🙂

That doesn’t bode well. Thanks, though. Keeping my fingers crossed for the Ofra and a different lipstick shade.

I signed up in February of 2016. How far in advance do I need to cancel my subscription in order to avoid getting billed for the February 2017 cycle? THANKS!

They charge you at the beginning of each month so if you don’t want to be charged for February you need to cancel by the end of January.
Reply
Sherry
I’m pretty sure you need to cancel in March to stop them from charging you in Feb. I would do it mid March so if they try to charge you the last week of March.

I re subscribed after being away for 3 months because of the palettes! I can always use neutral shadows. I rarely venture out to colors unless it is reds, oranges and some purples. I am not crazy about red lips unless it is a very deep red. I honestly would be happy if I got the Ofra highlighter. I’ve been wanting it badly since it came out!

I was so happy with the last box that I preordered the next 6 boxes. I regret that now because I am not excited about anything in this box!

Hi Kendra, sorry to hear this but the items on this box are great!! The Luxie brushes go on smooth and that alone is $36bucks which pays for the box ? sub and then some. Boxycharm is one of the best beauty sub boxes out.

You might like the box, doesn’t mean they will.

Is there chance to get the other colored palettes? I saw on their website that the eyeshadow comes in 3 different versions. Is there a possibility to get the other colors besides the neutral one?

This doesn’t excite me at all. These eye shadows are to similar to what we got last month.

Yes, the eye shadow colors keep repeating month after month. I’m not very pleased ? and I personally don’t like getting make up brushes. I have a ton already.

I agree they need to give eyeshadow and brushes a rest .

Ugh I wish I had canceled this month. I’m on product overload right now. None of these really excite me and this is just waaay too much of a variation for my taste. I’m definitely taking a break after this box.

I think this is a great box. I have been with boxy almost a year. I had to cancel BC I didn’t have the extra money this week but I will resubmit this week. I really want the the OFRA highlight. It’s so pretty! The cargo blush is also very pretty. I hope I will get a pink or neutral lip color BC last month I got a deep reddish color. I don’t really wear red that often. So a more wearable every day color would be great.

I’m actually hoping for the liquid bronzer. I now use liquid bronzer to darken my foundation, which I always seem to purchase too light – especially for the summer months! I found this tip on this site for the bare minerals sheer sun bronzer. It has worked great!

Did you end up getting the Temptu?

I’m so in the fence on this box. I love Luxie brushes. Getting the 3 brushes alone is a good deal. I really don’t want to get stuck with that temptu product. I already have the cargo beach blush but I can gift it to my niece. I hate when the boxes are a type of lottery with what you get.

I’m actually hoping for the bronzer, I’m almost out of my current.. then I won’t have to buy one. I’m happy to get a lippie in every box (I have a problem). I just hope it’s not so dark, the last one was too dark for my fair skin. Thanks to Ipsy I have like 101 eye shadow brushes, so I’ll give these away unfortunately. Always happy to get eye shadow, I’ll use through them, neutrals are my fave! I do hope next month will have different shades, could use some silvers and purples. Love that Boxy does a lot of make up. My other boxes are mostly hair, moisturizers, eye creams, and nail Polish that I never use.

There has to be an alternate use for all these bronzers. Maybe a game of Jenga?

The hair product is something I need and so are the brushes. I have a big eyeshadow collection and the other product which ever one will be fun. I hope the lip product is more nude.

Thankfully this is my last month. They have horrible customer service, will do anything to bill you early for another six month membership and then announce that they cannot refund you even though you still haven’t received your last box of your original six month membership. Then on top of all of that, they decide to stop giving any skin care at all, and focus entirely on eye shadow palettes every month. I am so disappointed with Boxycharm, although I did love my boxes last winter when we received full sized face masks, Spongelle bath sponges, etc. Now they are the most boring box going. Eye shadow and brushes, maybe another red or brown lipstick? A bronzer? Is that all they know how to do? Beauty fix is much better for my purposes.
