I just read on Boxy Babes Facebook from Yosef, it will be separate limited quantity and charmers will be alerted to the presale and be able to pre order.

So, is this going to be a separate purchase box or will we automatically get it?? If it operates anything like the charm shop, they’ll be sold out before I even know in 😑. Surely they’ll have enough for each subscriber and limit one per subscription…I can never get my hands on anything limited addition (I still think about the ABH Nicole Guerrio glow kit) so this would be great!!!!!!

A message from Yosef Martin about the waitlist:
Charmers
I’d like to address the waitlist issue.
– Our number one goal has always been to provide our charmers with the best possible experience, which for us means the best products from the best brands
– Working with top brands to get you amazing products is what we spend almost all of our time on! Especially for full size product, it is a long process, it can take up to half a year from start to finish
– Part of what that means is that we need to order products a long time before knowing how many new charmers are going to join the family each month
– We’ve been floored by your love and excitement for what we’ve been working so hard on, we can’t express enough how much your support means to us
– That excitement also means that while we had planned for big growth, the waitlist in recent months has been growing even faster than we can take people off it
– We are committed to our charmers and want to bring as many into the family as possible, but we would never lower our product standards just to get people off the waitlist
– We promise you that we have plans in place to bring the time that charmers spend on the waitlist down, but it may take a couple months
– If you’ve missed a box you really wanted, note the the future boxes will be just as amazing.
Yours Yosef Martin

Liz my alerts are stuck on reviews and have been forever. I would love emails but I can’t mark the box.

I had the same issue. You have to scroll down and click to verify your e-mail address. Then go to your e-mail and paste the link from your e-mail into your browser, then type in what sub your wanting to update info on, scroll down and then it will give you the option to click on what kind of notifications you want to receive. Took me about 30 min to figure it out! 😥😥😥

Never mind too complicated. Thanks for the info though. Why so hard MSA??

I am so confused about this. . . Will it be a separate charge for this box or will it be counted as the regular monthly box?

I heard that they lift the waitlist in the beginning of the month so I resubbed this morning and one hour later, I finally got off the waitlist…

You can never have too many brushes! A little done with lippies and highlighters though.

No idea what it will contain, but I am sure of a few things. First It will be everything I wanted and will fulfill my life and and all my dreams!!! Second, it will sell out before I even know about it. Can anyone tell I am still furious about missing the Becca primer in the Charms shop?? I would love to know how quickly it sold out….I think they must have had around 25 or so. And I am pretty sure that a pencil sharpener has been in the shop FOREVER. I would be happy with the lipstick if it wasn’t orange! Their sub box is great…one of the best. Their rewards program? One of the very worst. And what’s up about having to BUY a coupon to get your reward with free shipping? Ipsy blows Boxycharm out of the water with it’s reward program. I don’t think I will write reviews anymore. I have 9500 with nothing to spend it on other than orange lipstick and a pencil sharpener.

Did you sign up for MSA Boxycharm alerts That is how I found out about it right away.
I saw the post about charms as soon as it was up. It took me forever to figure out how to use my charms but I did get it. I was panicking about it being gone. I’ve never gotten to the charms in time so I must have been there right on time.
I have faith there will be more good charms! Don’t give up! I also still have a ton 😊

LOL. I share your pain on the Charm Shop. I managed to get the Becca primer yesterday but I could not believe I actually managed to score one. It’s literally the first time in a year I was able to get something I wanted in time. Granted, I jumped on it as soon as I saw it posted on MSA (and have no idea how long it was in the shop before the post) but I think it was actually still in stock for a couple of hours after the MSA post. SHOCKED me. It may have only lasted that long because it happened right around the time everyone with kids in the eastern half of the US was getting ready for trick-or-treat, though. 😉 But I’m not joking when I say every other time I’ve seen an MSA notification that items are in the Charm Shop, by the time I get there all of the “good stuff” is long gone.

Oh and ya…I never write reviews. All of my charms have come from my monthly box purchases. I haven’t convinced myself it’s worth my time or energy to write reviews if I can never use the points I get from doing it!!

Hi Liz, the theme for the November box was released! It’s Sweater Weather.

Longer if there will be items that were not featured in the regular sub, I will be happy. Hope it won’t be like PS putting same items in sub boxes and LE boxes.

I subscribed last month was told it would be months to get a box! I’m thinking about cancelling before I even get a box!!! This is ridiculous to wait MONTHS!!!!!

Yet everyone complains when box companies take on too many subscribers and the item quality goes downhill. Sigh.

It’s usually only one month, sometimes they lift the waitlist too. I’d stay on and wait, it’s soooo dang worth it.

Maybe it would contain the MAC Basic Bitch palette that there was speculation might be coming soon.
