I received:
Colourpop: Element of Surprise (Yay)
Browgal: Light 3 (boo I have dark brown brows)
MAC: Burnt Violet (boo)
2 eye brushes
Dr. Brandt
I don’t care for the mac lipstick in the burnt violet or the browgal in the light shade which looks like its more for blonde or much lighter brows. Funny I didn’t want the highlighter but now I wish I did get it! So I like 3 out of 5 items. I don’t know how it works to swap with others.

Oh and mine was .7 in weight

So far I’ve seen 5 different unboxing videos, and summed it up to these guesses. Only problem is if you leave every item in and just swap a palette here or there, weight changes again…
Version 1 is 0.8 lbs and is the You had Me at Hello variation with tarte highlighter and pink shade of adesse liquid lip.
Version 3 is l lb. and includes Semi Precious variation with tarte highlighter and brownish neutral shade of adesse liquid lip.
The version with MLP palette included (that I’ve seen) has all of the same items as version 1, but weighs the same as version 3. No version number was listed.
The version with the Element of Surprise palette has MAC lipstick in dark burgundy color and 2 SLMiss Glam brushes included and weighs 0.7 lbs.
Haven’t seen a Golden State of Mind in an unboxing yet.

hum… mine is currently listing as 0.7

Mine is 0.8. I’m really after You Had Me at Hello, Semi Precious, or Golden State of Mind. I’m not big on MAC so hoping for the liquid lip and highlighter.
Bailee
Mine went from .8 to .9 … any guesses?!
Reply
Natasha
That could happen from the variant items being swapped. Say you were supposed to originally get a MAC lippie but they had to substitute the liquid lip…weight would only change slightly. My guess anyway.

I just signed up for Boxycharm specifically for the Colourpop palette. I can’t wait to get one! My question is how long does it generally take to get my first box?
Reply
Natasha
I get mine by the 12th of the month. Depends on how far away you are from where it’s coming from in FL. I live in WV.

Anna
Mine always comes from Georgia. I’m in Utah.. so shipping always feelings like centuries.
Alyssa
It can seem like forever mine usually takes at least two full weeks after payment. They have slow shipping but it’s so worth it!

I’m 38 and I would love mlp palette but since I have never tried any colour pop shadows I’ll really be happy with any of those 5 🙂 I’m pining for the tarteist like many of us. The only item that I have zero interest in is the adesse, since I really only use Aquaphor on my lips and sometimes a hint of tint so I’ll pass that along. I’m excited for this month’s box and I hope everyone gets what they want ❤❤❤❤

I’m 38 too! I remember MLP as a kid, and the pallet screams child of the 80’s! Although, any of the pallets look good to me. I’ll be happy with any of them to be honest.

I have the MLP palette and love it! Big fan of colourpop over here. I signed up specifically to get the palette (hopefully I get one I don’t already have) lol : )
Robin Lackey
I am 40 and love the MLP palette. 😋
Just saying…..
Honestly, I won’t be torn up to receive ANY of the palettes. Not really. I can always swap. I just really want this one!! These colors do not have to be worn in such a way as to appear garish. Not sure what age has to do with anything? My Mother is the epitome of timeless class at 77. She wears whatever strikes her at the time…and looks BEAUTIFUL.

My box is .8 any guesses at what box it is?? I’m so excited. I hope it’s the golden State one.

Mine is .o8 as well. I’m super excited as I feel I will get one of the four I wanted … interesting. That no amazon lips have been show

Mine is .8 too, idc about anything but the tarte highlighter. Knowing that I want it makes me think I’ll end up with a MAC lipstick 😕

mine is .8 also…. hum…. I wonder

Mine is 0.8 lbs too

looks like we’re polar opposites haha, I would love the neutrals and the highlight. if I get one of the other Colourpop palettes and the MAC, would you be interested in a swap?
Reply

In case anyone else was wondering, the liquid highlight banner on the shipping notification IS NOT an indication of your box variation.
The banner was also on a shipping email I recived for a charm shop purchase.

I would gladly trade you if I receive it! the only one I DO NOT want!

If I get the MLP palette, I will trade with u if you don’t get it. It’s cute but not my kind of colors.
Reply
Bonnie
If I don’t get the tarte highlighter I would like to trade with someone. I rarely get liquid highlighters in my boxes :(.
Terra
Maybe I missed it, but does anyone know if the Browgal gel is included in every box, or is it a variant item? I have every single one of the Colourpop palettes, even owning 2 of the Semi-precious palettes (neither one has been used, nor ever even swatched), so I don’t particularly care as to which one I receive; if the Browgal is a variant that I don’t receive, I would be willing to exchange my palette for the eyebrow gel, if anyone is interested?
Reply
Natasha
I’m after the you had me at hello or semi precious palettes. If you wanna swap one of those I’ll gladly give you my brow gel. I’ve been using the insta-brow by benefit lately and am in love, so don’t even need another brow product lol
Reply
Bushra
Uptil now,the browgal gel has been in every box. So my guess is that it’s not a variant. But if you’re still interested to trade anything else from the box, I’d be glad to exchange anything for the palette. 🙂
Reply
Terra
Even if the Browgal is included in my box, I would still be willing to trade the palette for another gel…that way, I could keep one in my makeup bag and one for my makeup room!
Bushra
Sure, would love the palettes . Look me up on insta: bushra_khan19

Erika
From what I’ve read, the Browgal gel will be in every box. However, it’s tinted (comes in 3 different colors) and not clear. So for some, depending on which color they receive, it may not be a match with their natural hair/eyebrows.

Laura
I already own the brow gal gel. I’d trade if you get a different palette then me.
Reply
Jackie
I hope I get the lipstick and any palette besides element of surprise or you had me at hello. I want pretty shades, not the same neutrals I have 20 of lol. So if I get either one of those and someone gets a different one, I’ll gladly swap. Same goes if I get the highlight, I would happily swap for a MAC lipstick!! Its been a rough couple months, so really hoping for a bad ass box ❤

I hope I get golden state of mind or semi precious. With my luck I will get you had me at hello which I bought for a friend for Christmas but are not my colors.

I really want that palette, so I’ll swap if I get one of the others you want.

Shaylee-
I posted a comment right above yours, but in case you don’t see it, I already own 2 of the Semi-precious palettes (and all the other palettes that will be included in this months box), so if you don’t end up receiving one of the 2 palettes you’re hoping for, I would be willing to trade my Semi-precious palette for the Browgal gel, if you are interested?

I’m gonna be super disappointed if I get My Little Pony in my box. I’m a middle aged woman…. no thanks!
Everything else is great!

Yeah God forbid us middle aged women get the My Little Pony palette. Would hate to be pulled over by the beauty police & pay that fine! <3

I’m 28 but I know when I get in my middle 30s and up I’ll still be wearing the bright colors! So you go ladies! Do not let anyone stop you from sparkling and feeling fabulous! I wanna b the lady everyone looks at and says ooo she’s so sparkly and what is she up to now lol! Do not stop being you and letting yourself expression be dampened!

I’m 53 and im hoping for MLP! My fine must be doubled then. I really wish people would stop confusing their age for personal preferences. Just say its not your taste, age has nothing to do with it. SMH.

I want that one, so I will definitely be up for a trade if I get one I don’t like, or the one I already own!!

Awesome thsnks!

I hope this is my box just because I LOVE the MLP palette. I already have it and I use it all the time. If I don’t get it I’m just gonna order a few more and stack it because it’s LE but it would be nice to get it at a deep discount. You can’t beat Colourpop for the price. It’s great shadow.
Tom Ford needs to pay attention to what Colourpop is doing. Sorry but I paid $85 for a quad that was the biggest disappointment of my year and I’m still not over it. It’s ridiculous to pay that much for 4 shadows and have them beat out by a $16 ten pan palette.
Reply
Bonnie
Agreed. I have all 5 of these palettes and love them all! Whichever one I get in the box will make a friend very happy and I look forward to giving that gift when my BC gets here. These shadows are all beautiful on the skin.

Ellen
I was thinking about doing something similar because I love mine so much. How long do you think they’d last before going bad if you don’t use them?
Reply
Pink5
They should last for years if kept away from light in a cool dry place where the temperature doesn’t change a lot.
Katy
I need box 1 or 3 because those are the only two palettes I want. The other palettes seem so boring. Probably because I already have so many similar shades. I need blues and pinks and purples in my life. I do really want brushes but I would also like to try the Tarte so it works for me with either of those boxes. Be good to me Boxycharm!!! 💋💋💋
Reply
Christine G
Same! Box 1 or 3 for sure! I agree, the rest either look boring or repetitive and 2 are not stand alone pallets. I’m really really hoping I’m not let down for the third month in a row. I’ll probably never give up my Boxycharm subscription because I’m a palette junkie, but I would be so brokenhearted to be let down for the their month in a row! At least Colourpop has amazing pressed powder shadows!

Looks like a great box no matter what this month. I don’t think I have any of the listed palettes? That’s my favorite brow gel so I’m happy about that since I’ve been out.

Do you most people seem to get the same variation most of the time? Ive only had this for a couple of months and had variation 4 both times, im hoping thats not always the case just because some of the other variations are fun too
Reply

I’ve been subscribed since July 2017. I almost always receive V-1. Last month I received V-5 and there was another month awhile back that I received V-2. Last month there was an error with my payment which could be why I received V-5, but that’s just speculation. I know my payment was late one other month, but I’m not sure if it was the month I received V-2. Regardless, I really hope I don’t receive V-1 this month. Hope that helps. 😊
Reply
Crystal
Yes, you are right. I used to pay a day late in order to secure the more desirable boxes.
Jessica
I also almost always get v-1 but last month I also received v-5. Maybe they just changed it up. I’m hoping to get the MLP palette this month!!
Jen
My was shipped out on the 6th and weighs .9 does anyone have a guess???!

since I have subscribed I get variant 1 (it is on the card) I love the palettes I am happy with any except MLP because I already purchased that one, I love the browgal so glad it seems to be in every box! Pretty great box!

Have been subscribed for 2 years now and have kept all the cards, don’t know why I do this, but just checked and there are all Var #1. So it will be the same as Sydney Small’s I guess.

I generally get box 4 and I’m assuming it’ll probably have the golden state of mind which I already have so planning ahead here, if anyone wants it I will for sure swap.

Crossing my fingers and toes that this is my variation. I got my shipping notice yesterday which said .70lbs. The last 2 months I’ve gotten the variations I don’t want. Come on MLP! I NEED you in my life! 🐴🐎🦄 I also wouldn’t mind the Adesse or the Tarteist Pro Glow! I should get my box this week, I can’t wait!!!
