Wow, December is my second month receiving Boxycharm and I loved this month’s box even more than last month’s-and I had a box value of $173! My variation was “kit#32” and included the following:
-Pure Cosmetics Eyeshadow palette
-Model Co. Shimmer Bronzer
-OFRA Metallic Liquid Lipstick
-Purlisse 4in1 Eye Adore Serum
-LBY Beauty lip pencil (light pink)
I don’t wear lip liner but I will wear this one because it’s my favorite lip color-like a light baby pink. Can’t wait to see what January has in store!
My box weighed .8 lbs and I was REALLY disappointed with my variation. I am redeeming my BoxyCharm Points and I am cancelling before the end of this month. BoxyCharm used to be amazing in the past months, but my news year resolution is to cut my subscription boxes that I am not consistently happy with so bye bye BoxyCharm. Here is what i got if you are curious.
– Pure Cosmetics Buff Palette(“Mirror” was broken, packaging is cheap and is hard to open, but the colors look nice so i’ll give this a shot if the colors suck I am giving this away)
– Butter London Nail Polish (Butter London has some nice polishes)
– IBY Lip Liner in Coral (This is pretty, I will be using this)
– Ofra Purple Liquid Lipstick (Smells nice, but I hate the color and I can’t wear something like this to work in a corporate environment so I will be giving this away)
– Cougar Mineral and Body Shimmering Powder in Diamond Kiss(A leftover dud for sure, but I will give this a shot. Might be a nice highlighter, might end up giving this away too its really glittery)
Let me backtrack a bit. My husband and I got this for our daughter (24) as a Christmas gift. She received her first box yesterday, and seemed really happy about it. I did my research and this seemed to be a really good one compared to the others in terms of value for the price. We subscribed for the whole year. What are your opinions?
I got the same box except I got the IBY lip liner in the berry shade. The cougar shimmer, I don’t like it, I’ve gotten it in a past box, so I’m not sure why I got it again when I didn’t like it the first time. Its not bad to dust some on your body, but for a face highlight, I was not impressed because its so glittery and its loose so it makes a mess. I was disappointed in this box 🙁
I received my box today…my box contained the palette, Ofra lip, Butter London polish (was hoping for their eyeliner as I haven’t polished my nails in nearly a year!), an IBY eyeliner in blue gray (was hoping for the MUG one) and the BFR lip revival scrub. I had hoped for the mini eraser but all in all not a bad box…just won’t use the polish. My box weighed .9 if anyone is trying to figure out things by weight lol.
Does anybodies tracking say it was delivered already? Mine says it was delivered yesterday (sunday). I know for a fact that the post office isn’t even open so I’m hoping it’s just an error. Anyone else have this issue?
I got the nail polish (yay!) and the eyeliner in cobalt (anyone want it?) I was shocked at the ofra color. It’s almost black. My husband asked me if I was starting a goth phase.
I am disappointed in the Ofra shade. I love purples but this is too dark almost black. I hope some people really love it but I’m 40 and I can’t pull this off anymore. I will look either silly or creepy not sure which. Lol
Anyone else notice a change in weight with their box on the tracking? Mine started out weighing .9 and now it’s saying .8.
I was all fingers crossed for the top box too! Now…now I dunno. And I have to wait all the way until Friday to find out…and it’ll prob get pushed back thanks to this silly storm.
Mine did the same. I checked it right when I got my confirmation, and then yesterday I noticed it was changed from .9 to .8. So maybe it was .86 and they rounded up, only for it to be rounded down. I dunno. Mine says due Thursday.
We’ll have to see if we got the same items in our magical weight-changing boxes! Mine’s supposed to be here Friday, but it’s way ahead of where it was last month via tracking…so I’m hoping they’re being safe and over-predicting. That, or FedEx is just on super charge mode…my ipsy bag is making excellent time as well.
Anyone else’s box taking the scenic route? Every month my box goes from MA to GA to Orlando Fl to Hudson FL. Well I just checked the shipping notification and its in Pennsylvania! Why did it go north just to go south? Doesn’t make sense. Its supposed to be here Tuesday, but I’m def having doubts. Ughh!
PA is on the way to Florida from MA;)
My packages are taking different routes than typical the last few weeks. I think because they amp up deliveries around this time of year they stick it on whichever truck will get it one step closer to its destination.
Ohh lmfao!! Guess I don’t know that part of the US lol!! It updated this morning and is now in NC and its never updated in transit before and its done it twice. Once in PA and now in NC lol. For some reason I always thought PA was further north than MA. Geography was never my strong suit 😉
My .9 lb box arrived yesterday and it was exactly the first box pictured. I’m so thrilled to get the thrive eye brightener, especially since I got that phooey $2 elf brush instead of the mally eye brightener in my Allure box a few boxes ago. Do you hear me Allure? PHOOEY I SAY! I’m excited to try the OFRA since I love dark and wine colored lip products but have never tried a true purple before.
My only complaint is that, because this box shipped so fast, my replacement for the broken vintage highlighter from last month won’t come until my JANUARY box ships :/ I don’t mind waiting, but really hope they don’t run out by then. I would be crushed. (*like my highlighter*)
I got my email today. It weighs .9lb which makes me a little nervous because they are supposed to get a replacement item from my last month’s box. I hope they remember and I don’t have to hound them about it.

Mine weighs the same and I’m also getting a replacement. Although like 2 days after it shipped I got another tracking number (both are different) so I’m assuming it’s in that
I feel sad because my box is different . I got the stupid Makeup eraser cloth. Won’t use it. I just don’t see how something can take off makeup with just water. No thank you ! Darn, I’m disappointed. Wonder why it isn’t shown in the above variations? Anybody else get it?
There are new photos in the Boxycharm tag on Instagram. Another variation is lip liner from IBY and a mini makeup eraser instead of the eye pen and lip scrub.
All of the .8 boxes I’ve seen posted on IG have the variation with Butter polish, IBY lip liner & the makeup eraser. I have yet to see any post with the bronzer or Butter eyeliner. Was hoping to receive the lip scrub 😩
Thanks, girl. I looked on the BoxyCharm IG but didn’t see any photos. I will look at their tagged stuff and “liked” lol. I was really hoping for that eye pen
Where did you see that??? I normally don’t get excited over nail polish, but I love KathleenLights and I’ve seen a few of her polish swatches that look beautiful!
I just got mine out of the mailbox. Shipping get weight was 1 lb/ 45kg. I got the box pictured first above. Ofra lip, lips scrub, palette, eye brightener (yay!) And butter london nail in a burgundy color.
How is their customer service? Do they respond pretty quickly or do you have to keep trying to get ahold of them? I ask because I messaged them Monday through Facebook and haven’t heard back so I was wondering if email was the best way to communicate with them.
Anytime I’ve had to contact them, via email, it takes the full 72 hours to get a response. they are super slow, imo. Then if you respond, you’ll wait another 3 days before your next response. that’s been my experience.
I’ll get mine on Tuesday! I hope to get any of these variations!! Until know I’ve been getting the variation I like.. hope this one is a good one.. any of these boxes for me are winners!!
Are the variations being sorted by subscription sign up dates? I’m hoping for the eye brightener! I won’t use the dark/Halloween lipstick or the grandma colored nail polish! I have yet to use the palette from fabfitfun so this one will most likely go untouched. The lip scrub yes please!
How does everybody seem to know what their box will weigh? My November box never had tracking info. I haven’t received anything for December’s box either, though of course I haven’t received my December box, so they may not have sent it out. I’ve tried to look for this info on their page, but any info eludes me.
We know from the tracking info emailed to us. If you don’t get tracking info this month you might want to email boxy just let them know so hopefully they can fix that issue for you. I just got tracking email this morning but this is early for me to get it.
Mine said 1 pound. I got the first variation with nail polish! Love the pallet so much I just ordered another box! I have two girls and several nieces that I share with is something isn’t what I like, like the napa valley lip stuff, one of my nieces will. E getting it for Christmas!
I haven’t received shipping email yet:(
I would prefer the Thrive cosmetics product but would be happy with the eyeliner too especially if it’s an I,interesting color.
Is that bronzer matte or shimmer? Anyone know? I wouldnt mind it if it is matte. Evry bronzer I have received in a box is shimmer:/.
The model Co bronzer has a gold shimmer in it which is very flattering. Its not a high shine or glittery bronzer. It quite beautiful and natural looking. I use it daily as a blush.
