I hope I get the brushes (not the sponges!). I already have a ton of those sponges, and I don’t use them :0 lol I know a lot of people love them, but I’ve never taken to them, and I have several already from subs. I use a pressed powder compact foundation, and just a tiny amount of concealer around the eyes that I blend with my finger quickly.
I’m fairly new to Boxy, but it’s been great so far. This month’s might not be my favorite box of theirs, but I’m sure the next one will be great as the others have been!

I just saw someone unbox theirs on Youtube! The last items are a cargo lip gloss and hairgurt strawberry banana yogurt shampoo. I’m not sure if everyone is getting that, though.

yes, just saw the video too of the April unboxing, glad it is a gloss and shampoo, as the 4th & 5th items as you can never have enough of these items! I assume everyone’s box is the same.

I hope not! I already received the hair mask.

Ugh, I’m saturated with shampoos, but I’d love a hair mask! I’d love a Cargo lip gloss also!

If anyone gets the sponges and don’t want them, I would love to swap for them! I’m shells on the forum 🙂

If anyone wants my sponges, I am willing to swap for the brushes! I love brushes for my makeup.

Does anyone know how many people are on the waitlist? I signed up April 1st and am really hoping to get this month’s box. I’ve never been on a waitlist before, for this subscription.

I’ve been on the waitlist since March 3rd so I’m assuming it’s a lloooonnnng list 🙁

I was on it for 2 weeks, got off today after emailing [email protected] telling that I knew others that got off before me. I would really recommend doing this if you want to get this month.

Did you sign up by referral ? Or just on your own ? I’ve been with them since box one I admin a page on fb and found that if you used referral it sometimes goes a lil bit quicker. If not I did see nonreferrals off waiting list within 1-2 months if there is big demand for box after sneak peeks..

On my own.

That’s what happens when a box gets popular! There wasn’t a waitlist last year when I joined!

As much as I love boxycharm, I would give my left boob for a bronzer instead of another highlighter. I already have more hghlighter than I will ever use in my entire life time. I live in the desert, it is already 90 degrees and summer here. Really wish there was a bronzer in this box.
Reply
Kaylee
You could try to use one of the darker shades in the contour palette as a cream bronzer! 🙂 (but I agree, lots of highlighters flying around right now)

That is a good idea! I was thinking about using the darker concealer colors in this box as contour shades or eyebrow fillers. It could work. :b

Desperately hoping I get off the waitlist since I signed up in late March, but not holding my breath based on others’ experiences. I hate that Boxycharm doesn’t warn you about the waitlist. I didn’t know about it until I got an email saying waitlisted instead of ordered.
Reply
Selina Roxanne
Same here, I signed up on Feb 16, was not aware of wait list, so my first box was March, I really wanted the Feb box, oh well, so my wait was 14 days to be exact.

I will have to watch a video in order to convince myself to keep the sponges…lol. I have never used them before. Other than the sponges, I am super excited about this month’s box!!
Reply
Jackie
You will love the sponges! There are tons of YouTube videos about how to use them and blogs as well. I will tell you that they work better damp. Squeeze it a few times under running water until the sponge has doubled in size and squeeze out all the excess water. Then dot your face with foundation and bounce the sponge all over your face until blended. It works much better bouncing it rather than swiping it. You can also use it to blend out concealer and cream contour and cream blush and you can even dip it in your loose setting powder and use the sponge to set/bake your face as well. Hope that gives you a rough idea how to use it 🙂

I just LOVE Boxycharm!!! It’s my favorite subscription always A+ in my book!! So excited!!

I’m glad I read the comments, I felt doomed to get more brushes. I’m very happy with what we are getting to far. I finally started messing with a bunch of my new makeup and found I mostly hated all the highlighters I have for different reasons. I’m dying to learn how to shade my face to make it look different so this will be awesome and I love sponges so I’m good 😊

If you have not used a beauty sponge before it would benefit you to watch a you tube video on it. It teaches you a lot!

I am a new subscriber and have not received marches box yet…. I was wait listed for a week then notified of being off ! So quickly ! I super excited to get two boxes in one month !! Never used sponges and not sure about the marches palette but REALLY excited !
Reply

I got off the waitlist the last week of March too! I’m super excited about getting both boxes, though I do hope I count as new enough for the brushes instead of the sponges – I’ve already got a silisponge and a blender.
Reply

Marchs palette is actually really pretty. Its not glittery at all its more metallic or foiled. Just keep in mind you don’t have to use all 3 together. When I just want something simple I’ll use my finger to put some of 1 color on my eyelids throw on some mascara and go. Its really pretty. I hope you love it 🙂

I agree. Today I used a shimmery bronze on my lids, then took just a bit of the olive green shade and popped it on the center of my eyelids. It’s a bit of color, but not too much and not glittery!

I got one of the PUR sponges after Kathleenlights said she loved it. Now the PUR sponge is my favourite sponge ever. At first I didn’t love it because it’s much more sense than the Beauty Blender & real techniques sponge but once I got the hang of how to use it, I’ve been so in love. Definitely the only sponge I’ll be buying from now on. If you don’t love it at first, give it a few more tries.

Jessica
Do you have any tips to share with first time users? 😀

Also, you get a better application if you bounce it all over your face rather than swiping it. I use a RealTechniques sponge when I apply foundation and it looks so much better than applying with a brush in my opinion. And is faster. I’m excited to try the PÜR one. You can apply your foundation directly to the sponge or dot your face and bounce away. The pointy end is great for getting under your eyes and around your brows. I also use it to blend out concealer and if you use cream contour or cream blush, it’s great for blending out those products as well. Hope that helps a bit. If all else fails, Google “how to use a beauty blender” and you will find lots of helpful info.
Briar
Run under water and squeeze it while you do. Then once it has doubled in size squeeze the water out. The sponge gets bigger and soaks up less makeup this way. It’s the best way to use it.

When will Boxycharm put out name brand products again that we know and love like Tarte? I joined for this reason and seems like right after I did I was back to getting brands that just aren’t on the same level like with other subscriptions.
Reply
Rose
Ok Pur, yes, but Ofra not on the same level. Same brand that Ipsy likes to send out. I am just saying I would love to see more brands that are known and trusted , but their new products so we can see if we like them. I am ok with “broadening my horizons,” but I am also wanting the things I joined for in the first place.

Lenette
I like how everyone is getting upset about YOUR opinion. I joined beauty subscriptions because I only grab brands I know and would like to try different things. But I totally get your statement my signing specifically to Boxycharm was because I liked the products in the march box I wasn’t aware of a waiting list, so needless to say I was upset. I do hope we both start seeing more well Known higher end brands Like smashbox, Tarte , Anastasia. Lets pray for May 🙂
Jackie
What exactly did you join for? I joined to get full sized makeup items for $21 a month. You never know what brands your going to get and frankly, for the products we get every month, $21 is a steal for these! That makes each item cost us a little over $4 a month for over quadruple what we pay in value. Ofra is a great brand. Their formula is amazing! I reach for my ofra liquid lipstick and my ofra highlighter over my Tarte products anyday. These sub boxes are about exploring brands and products you haven’t tried before and falling in love with different things. You may not love every single product every month, but that’s the fun of sub boxes and I’m sure if you don’t love a product, you can give it to a family member/friend, swap it, or sell it on eBay. Those ofra highlighters retail for like $35 so if it’s not something you’d like, sell it on eBay and that just paid for your box this month. Try to be optimistic. Its supposed to be fun!

Pur is a big brand.

Pur is a amazing brand sold at ulta.. it is a high end brand.. ofra is amazing as well but more of a YouTube brand..

I’m definitely getting the sponges (Boxy subscriber for over 2 years) and I am curious about their performance. Would have preferred the brushes but I’m hoping I’m pleasantly surprised!

Same! I could really use those brushes, but it’s already an amazing box with the other spoilers!

I’m a current rather than new subscriber, and my ideal box would’ve been combination of brush and sponge rather than three sponges…but it’s certainly generous. Thank you Boxycharm.

At first I just saw the picture and thought maybe everyone would receive one sponge (colors vary) and a brush/duo. You’re right, value is always insane with Boxycharm!

i’m hoping i’m new enough that a brush arrives. I already have the sponges, they’re great! You never know 😉 If anyone wants to swap let me know! Also don’t wear concealer but it would be interesting to use them as eyeshadow primers.

It says only new subs get the brushes. You deffo won’t unless you unsubscribe and try resigning.

Is second month considered as new subs ?

What’s considered a new subscriber? This is my 5tg or 6th box in a row? Seems like tge ones that stick around should get the brushes in my opinion.

It seems like we get a lot of brushes from Boxycharm. I’m sure these brushes will come by again for those of us who aren’t new subscribers.

I’ve never used beauty sponges before. They look really cute, like Easter eggs. Can these be used with the concealer?
Oh, those sponges would be soooo cute in an Easter basket! Is there any hope to get these before Easter? I just got last months, it shipped pretty late.
Reply
Jackie
Im hoping to get this box before Easter. I think we got our boxes so late last month due to that crazy winter storm and it threw off their shipping groove. Hopefully everything will be back on track this month.

I would be super excited about this spoiler but not even 2 minutes before I saw the spoiler, I ordered the 2 pack of Real her blenders from the FFF warehouse sale… Oh well, bad timing on my part.
Reply
Melody
FFF was kind enough to cancel my order since I ordered the palette what was on the fall box. So, now, I wont have too many sponges or a duplicate palette. Yay for FFF cancelling my order and yay for Boxy including awesome products that, evidentally, I would,have purchased anyway!

Love all the spoilers so far. I was actually looking forward to the concealer palette. Hope that was a true spoiler & will still be included in our box. <3
