Liz, have you heard anything? Is there a way you can find out what is going on with the March Boxes

I just checked their Facebook page and they are responding to subscribers with this message:
“Hi there – unfortunately, our website is down right now, but we’re working to get it back up as fast as possible. Boxes are still shipping out, so no worries!”
Hope that helps!

Are any other subscribers worried? We received an email that they were changing owners a couple weeks ago. Maybe they went under? I sure hope not. I hope this is just some reorganization and they will be back up soon.

Well that would explain why their website is down. I emailed them to ask when my box is shipping and no response. I feel like this is the month that a lot of Subscription boxes are having problems and no one wants to respond back to their customers/ members

Thankfully I just received a shipping email. This will be a real mystery box this month!

Has anyone received their box yet? I tried to check on mine and the website isn’t working.

Their website is down for me too. this is worrying. I have two more boxes left on a 3 month contract. Hopefully it is just a glitch but I would think they would have come on FB to say something. There has been nothing from the company for about a day.
Has anyone received their shipping email with a tracking number?

Oh, and glitter in hair! The actress Anna Kendrick said that one time when she met Carrie Fisher (RIP <3), Carrie had glitter in her hair, and when Anna said she liked it, Carrie ran her fingers through it and lobbed a handful at Anna.
I think that when one of us older women wear glitter (or bright lipstick, unnatural hair colors, short skirts, whatever), another older woman might see it and decide that if that woman she saw can do it, so can she. Pretty soon a decent amount of people are doing it, and it becomes normalized, doesn't seem strange anymore. Obviously that goes for about everything.

Awful. Appropriate if I were 12 years old. I was thinking of subscribing but this is definitely the nail in the coffin for me.

Not for me – or rather for my face. I’m putting it in some nail polish – I like sparkly nail polish.
I thought I posted but then it did a weird error page so I’m reposting. Sorry if it ends up posting twice.

Not for me or rather for my face. I think I’ll sprinkle it in some nail polish though – I like sparkly nail polish.

I’m not one to complain about boxes, but I’m wondering if I might be a bit old to be getting this one. What is a 50 yr old to do with glitter? Hopefully it is gold so I can give it to my daughter.

Just an idea, this can be used for tons of things besides make up if you don’t like the idea of wearing it. You can put it in nail polish, you can use it for fun arts and crafts, like creating your own designs on ornaments for Christmas. You can use it for Halloween on decorations. Just open your mind to the options and don’t bog down on the true selling of as make up.

That’s exactly what I was thinking, but I don’t have a daughter 🙁 And I signed up for the year after getting a few great boxes. Sigh.

Maybe the rest of the box with not be so sparkly. Sigh too.

Ditto! Except my daughter is on beauty overload from all the stuff I couldn’t use.

Spectra please! Yay! As Victoria said, everything is a step up after last month’s box.
Will this hold on with primer, or do you need adhesive, folks?

I would recommend an adhesive, glitter glue or lip gloss to add a bit of shine to your lips. Medusas Makeup has a good glitter adhesive for a great price.

Uhhhhh! I want both though! This box will be 100 better than last month’s already!

If it was a lip product I was going to scream! haha. I’m sure my 15 year old will love this, she can show me how to use it hahahaha.
This is my fav box, I always say it, but it truly is my fav box.

Both are very pretty, but I have no idea what I’ll even use the glitter for

Put it in nail polish.

Everything! 😀 Well, maybe not work, depending on your job, but I like a little star or heart or other shape on maybe collarbone or nape of neck or shoulder. Or a teeny bit in the middle of the lower lip or corner of eye. Or someplace hidden where a person might put a tiny tattoo. Some companies, like Medusa’s Make-Up, sell glitter adhesive, or you can use false eyelash glue, or even washable gluestick.
