So excited to receive this palette. Funny how the color’s I see are more towards pinks and purples and that is considered neutral? To me that is color and if the palette had more browns that is when I think it’s neutral. Correct me if I’m wrong cuz I’m new to this makeup stuff and new at Boxycharm (December will be my 3rd box). For those wondering, I think this box is the best for under $25 and you get deluxe or full sizes. So worth it!!!

Again MSA thank you for introducing me to my favorite beauty subscription box.

I LOVE BoxyCharm, but this palette looks EXACTLY like the Urban Decay Naked Palette that I have…Hoping it’s not so similar in person or I might just gift to someone I work with lol hoping the rest of the box is dope, they usually do a really good job and I’ve been happy so far!

Boxycharm subscriber since just November, new to beauty subscriptions in general. Is there anything wrong with canceling and then re-subscribing for only the boxes when I really want it? I mean is it frowned upon or something? I know it’ll be a good deal but I’m saturated with makeup right now and might want only half of the boxes next year, thanks to MSA spoilers.

You can unsubscribe whenever you want then re-subscribe, just as long as you do it before the month is over if you want that month’s box.

Nope. Lots of people do that with this box.

Why can’t they just give us some color shadows!? I promise if they do one colorful palette the neutral girls won’t go into a frenzy. But us color girls are getting freaking frustrated!

I’m asking myself the same questions. I might stop ipsy and play and sub for this one.

I cancelled my ipsy for the LAST time. Kept getting only two or sometimes just one good thing and not even full size. Boxycharm is wayyyyy better.

I subbed to BoxyCharm in Oct. Subbed to Ipsy in Sept and after my first bag, I decided I wanted more than those tiny samples. So I joined BoxyCharm and am hooked! And I figure for $11 more a month to get the same amount of items, but FULL SIZED?? So much more for your money. And considering both the boxes I’ve received were valued way over $100, was definitely worth it!! I’ve been saying for 2 months I was going to cancel ipsy, but I haven’t brought myself to do it yet. I keep thinking “well maybe next month will be better”, and “its nice to get a makeup bag every month”, but in all reality, who actually switches makeup bags that often? I don’t need 50 makeup bags. So I think after the Dec bag, I’m really cancelling. I’m just hoping for a pretty sparkley red makeup bag for December. Lol!

Julie B.

That is actually the reason why I have never subscribed to ipsy: the makeup bags. It sounds trivial, but they will all end up in the landfill, and they have to be incorporating the cost of making those (materials as well as labor) into cost of the subscription.

I got my first Boxy Charm box this month, November’s box. I am so impressed! I cancelled by Birchbox because I was getting repeats and the value just didn’t seem there. I know Boxy Charm is more expensive, but so far in my opinion it is worth every penny! The only other box I get is Sephora’s.

Emac

I get birchbox, boxy charm, and fabfitfun. I’m thinking of unsubscribing from
birchbox too. I keep asking why I am subscribed to a box that only does samples. Surely does not cost that much for monthly samples and some aren’t even great. Love my BoxyCharm and FabFitFun. I’m thinking of maybe joining GlossyBox and just paying $10 extra a month for it instead of BirchBox.

AJ

Boxycharm for sure ! i went from ipsy to this one and did not regret it a single second. Ive had it for 3 months now and im always super happy with pretty much everything i got. Of course, many times i dont receive the items im hoping for (ex last month : makeup geek blush, i got another brand instead) but it always turns out to be a good item, unlike ipsy where you get 1 thing you like and the rest is usually crap (in my opinion). I just love the fact that for boxycharm they actually pick quality products and theyre fullsize 🙂 Just my personal opinion tho !

Liz:

I am a new customer of Boxycharm. Will every box for December 2016 have the Pure Collection eye pallette? I am asking because I have seen some feedback on the web saying midstream the selection changes to may have for some of the boxes.

Any help on this question would be deeply appreciated. Especially since I am looking at doing some gift subscriptions.

Thanks,

Jeanette

Everyone will get this palette-while supplies last. So if you want it, I would snag it quick! If they run out, they send items leftover from months past.

FYI – I read on Boxycharm’s post on Instagram that every charmer will receive this palette when they posted their sneak peak.

Usually there is one larger thing that everyone gets, despite other variation. Last month it was the palette, the month before the Luxie eye brush set. So I would assume everyone will get this palette.

I subbed 11/18 and boxycharm said id get the November box mailed to me as my first box. But i see i am going to get charged Dec on 12/2 does that mean im getting Decembers box too and November or only one box? I am so confused

Reply ButtonReply

Jackie

Did you get charged for Nov? If so, you will get this months box. They charge everyone on the 2nd of the month if your an established customer, so if you don’t want the Dec box, you need to cancel your sub before Nov 30th at I believe 6pm EST. If you were charged for this month already, you can cancel at any time and still receive the Nov box. Hope that helped. It can take up to 10 business days (excluding holidays) for your box to ship, and up to another 10 days for you to receive it. I started my sub on Oct 16th and didn’t receive my Oct box until Nov 1st so hang in there!

Evelyn

Cool thanks that helped.

My November box is taking a leisurely trip across the country. It didn’t ship till last week and won’t arrive till Friday. It is a new subscription but I signed up first of the month so I don’t know why it’s so late. Hope this doesn’t happen all the time!

I paid for mine on the second. Didn’t get it until 24th. My roommate also paid for hers on the 2nd. She still hasn’t received hers. So annoying. Fingers crossed you get yours tomorrow

The palette is everything! I cannot stop using it (I happen to prefer cool tones). My shipping said one day but I got it 2 days befor that!

Boxycharm was doing great the past months, but now that they’re being famous, they changed how they send their boxes. Before, EVERY subscriber will get the SAME contents. Now, they will say, “…you may have this” on their spoiler on ig. I think that is unfair to the people (I for one) who will get less amount compared to others who got the most. They should stick to the same boxes for EVERYBODY. Or they should have an option on the site where you can choose what product you want to receive like BIRCHBOX. I am close to canceling my subscription because i keep on receiving sample stuff while get the good stuff. SO NOT FAIR BOXYCHARM! Beware if you are planning on subscribing cuz they changed!!!

I was pretty disappointed last month because I got many “variations” from those that the YouTubers got. I got a blush and highlighter that don’t work with my skin tone. It happened to me in October too, but I was happy I didn’t get the Temptu and got the Ofra highlighter and Cargo bronzer. I am ok with variation, but then they need to use customer information like skin tone, hair type, preferences like other boxes do.

same here, i get iteams that are not even in any spoilers that i dont see any where else and i watch alot of boxyxharm unboxings, if i dont get a decent one in december im done lol

Jackie

I’m right there with you girl. My first box which was Oct, I got cuticle oil, and this month I got a Luxie contour brush and brow gel. Like wtfff

Jackie

I so agree with you! A few people I know were subbed so I finally subscribed last month, and so far the last 2mo have been all variations except for the eye shadows. Its not fair and creates a lot of box envy because some people are valuing at $150+ while others are only topping out at $110-$120. We all pay the same amount for the subscription, but the last 2 months I’ve got variations that weren’t even in any spoilers. Its like I got the leftover crap they have just laying around. I think if they are going to have such widely valued boxes, those of us who get the lesser value should at least get an extra item or something to make it fair.

I have 11 sub boxes and the December/Winter boxes will determine the boxes that I keep in 2017. Looks like BoxyCharm has earned a place on the keep list.

I’m exited!! I do own a pallet from Pure cosmetics and the quantity is amazing. Boxycharm’s pallets in Nov and Sep by studio makeup are high quality and I believe they have a curation process were they make sure the palette quality is up to part with prestige quality.
Boxycharm 2016 is a complete upgrade from boxycharm 2015. Many great brands and the items are well curated. I’m not how can a beauty junky not get boxycharm. What else do you need in life?

IcedDonut

Uggg… just another Naked dupe that’s “valued” at $50. (I promise you this price is highly over-inflated). Getting so tired of these crappy dupes flooding the subscription box scene. I may leave myself out of next month’s Boxy, but sometimes just one item makes it worth it.

In case you are thinking about getting this box subscription, I can tell you a little bit about it! Lately, I believe the boxes have been disappointing. However, I mean be biased because I am a huge makeup junkie. I love weird, bold colors and experimenting with new products. This box does a lot more of the second than the first. You will get new products from unknown brands and some well known brands and it’s so much fun to get to try new things at a pretty decent cost. However, lately, BOXY has been SUPER generic. I’ve been getting the same nude/brown/gold colored palettes since this summer and the same mauve lip color as well. It’s been getting old, but usually there’s one awesome skin/hair/other product that makes the 21 bucks an investment.

If you are a makeup junkie, I do not recommend this box until you’ve seen the full box to make the decision yourself. Like if you have VIB Rouge Status, you are better off with Ipsy in my honest opinion. If you are just starting out and think the prices at makeup stores are intimating or if you only have drugstore makeup, this is a great box to really start loading up on some awesome products. In case you are getting this box with hopes of new makeup brushes, you can buy tons of cheap, high-quality sets from BHCosmetics or Amazon or AliExpress.

I hope this helps anyone who is thinking about getting BOXY or a newbie reconsidering their subscription.

Yeah, what is up with these overinflated palette prices? I actually love the palette from last month, but it isn’t a $50 palette. There is no mirror and the cardboard packaging doesn’t even have a magnetic closure. The price on this palette is also nuts. No one is buying it for $50 when the Naked 3 is $54. I think they price them that high so they can say what a “good value” they are in boxes, and the brands can offer steep discounts on their own sites for a “good deal.”

If you are a makeup junkie then I suggest Hautelook. It’s Nordstrom’s super sale site. I just got 2 Morphe Palettes for under 30$ and a Royale USA curling iron five piece set for 32$ (MSRP 419$). Right now they have Butter np for 8-10$ and Stila starting at 9.97-25$ at the most. They also have Alterna, Terra Nova, and Mirabella right now. Each sale is limited to supply and or a certain number if days. Whichever comes 1st. Hope this helps.

This seriously just made my whole day!! I just subscribed to boxy a few days ago…because who can pass up this month’s palette?? And then to see that there’s a whole nother palette for next month?!!? Definitely made it super easy to say bye-bye to Play!

A friend of mine gave me a Naked3 palette a few months back…but it’s sadly a knock off and a struggle to get the colors to blend and stay put…so I’m hoping that this one is more pigmented and blendable, because I adore the colors!!

Keep sending all of the palettes, boxy. All. Of. Them.

The colors are pretty pale and run of the mill in my opinion. Palettes are great if you can do a whole look with them. This wouldn’t do it for me. Just because a company prices something at $50 doesn’t mean its worth it. I can get 2 UD palettes on clearance on their website for $50.

I’m so torn, I love getting palettes and love this subs valuable but sometimes it would be nice to get something other than neutrals, I only own neutrals. I would love some autumn or winter colors. But again I can’t complain since having this sub I have gone and cut down on my make up purchasing and in the end saved money and found some products and brands I would norally never try.

LindseyMP

I agree! I LOVE boxycharm but it would be nice to get some palettes that AREN’T neutral or nude colors! I like to have a little color! I have porcelain skin with blackberry colored hair, so neutral colors just down me out and make me look like I’m sick! Even if they just send a random color in a pan, we could add it to the z palette we got. I’d rather start getting more pans of colors than nude palettes with the same washed out colors. Oh well, someone’s getting this December palette for Christmas lol

boxycharm is the reason i plan to go on a no buy for 2017. if they send a palette a month, lippie, face product, a tool and specialty item each month; I can forego spending money at my two temptation stores.

I have a subscription to both boxycharm and ipsy. I ❤️ them both. I don’t like or use every product, but it’s so much fun to get a few surprises in the mail every month. I have also saved so much money. I had such an addiction to sephora. I would buy things I never used or needed just because they looked cool and were on sale. Now I only buy my cleansing pads from them and pass on all the other stuff. This is a much cheaper way to satisfy my addiction. My husband is much happier. Haha!

I am in love with the one I got in fabfitfun, I am pretty sure I use it almost everyday. They are very pigmented for me and blend super easy. Even if I pull out a different palette I use the brush (when I am adding some rose colors in). I live in the neutrals world though as far as makeup goes… so my opinion may differ from someone who likes to spice it up a bit more. Also, Ipsy had one of these similar type palettes for $18 and included greens and some blues!

I also got a Pure palette in the fall fab fit fun box. While the pure shadows don’t compare to Urban Decay, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. They’re smooth, blend well, and apply evenly. I’d say the pure shadows are on par with palettes I have from the Balm and Stila–higher quality than most drug store makeup. (Clearly I have too much makeup ?) Not sure if there is variation or quality control issues between palettes, though.
