I ‘m not sure if I commented or not I hope I do not regret but I dropped my sub for Boxy today. I found primers just do not blur or work and add a extra layer to my dry skin and makes my fine lines stand out more.
I just can not with black eyeliner I like colored eyeliner black washes me out
I wish I could of just skipped a month and left Boxy a message that I didn’t like the products .If we could skip a month here and there when we do not like the products I would of skipped this month and kept the sub.

Yeah I’m gonna cancel this month’s Boxycharm too. I’m overstocked on primers, good on brushes, overloaded on highlighters and eyeshadow palettes (which are worthless on my oily, hooded eyelids without an eyelid primer…an item that should be sent in every 4th Boxycharm box if you ask me).

Glad to know my $20+ in Charms will still be there when I reactivate my account.

I’d rather spend the $21 this month on earrings I’ve been eyeing.

Same with me Misti, I am hoping I don’t regret it. I do love primers but am stocked up for the next year or more. It takes so little that it lasts forever. I don’t contour or like gel eyeliner and don’t need the brushes. Boxycharm is an amazing deal, but if the products sit in a box it is still wasted $$. Hope everyone who gets this month enjoys!!

I saw somewhere were they have a P.U.R contour palette too as a spoiler. I have been with Boxy for many moons and I love them I love mostly everything except the so so many highlights which out of all the artist couture is the best one ever!

I love boxycharm, and I couldn’t afford even half of the products I receive from them, but eye primer would be great for all these pallettes……

I agree as well! I’ve bought a couple and none seem to work. It’d be nice to have a high end one to try to see if I’m missing out or not

Does Boxy send out tracking information when their box ships or does it just show up? I subbed April 21st (which would still be for the April box, right?) and I was charged same day. Just trying to get an idea of when I should expect my box. =]

I have been with Boxy for 4 1/2 years and they do send tracking but occasionally they dont.

Boxes ship 5-10 days after your payment goes through and because you were billed in april you will get aprils box. Welcome to the boxyfam, I recomend getting the fedex app and you will be shipping even before boxy sends you the email.

Awesome, I was hoping for the April box! Thank you for the info Miranda!

when you box is shipped, they send you a tracking number and/or a link to track your package 🙂

Based on the comments here and instagram this is my non factual guess:
1) cover fx primer
2) pretty vulgar eyeliner
3) aesthetica brushset
4) ace beauty eyelashes approx $30
5) pur (probably going to be $20 lippie)
6) deluxe sample approx $10 – no idea???

6? where are you seeing this? im just counting the primer, eyeliner. a PUR item and the brushes.. thats only 4 so far… 6 would be great though!

Yosef said it in his Instagram story! Boxycharmbeauties posted about it on Instagram

Kay

I’m totally going with one of the items has to be LORAC Pirates of the Caribbean Palette. In Yosefs update he stated at the end

“of CURSE all on full size :)”

We all know he leaves hints. And with the “ink” looking gel liner and “curse”…..

You will be getting the April Box. You must sign up May 1st to not get the April Box. You will be billed for May around the 1st, and it will ship when the rest of May’s boxes ship.

This is kinda funny. I already have both the eyeliner and the primer. The eyeliner is good. If you like a gel liner, you’ll like this. Word to the wise…make sure you don’t leave this sitting open and make sure the lid is on good. This stuff will dry out pretty quickly if you don’t.
The primer is meh. I didn’t notice any blurring and if it made any difference in the application or wear time of my makeup, it was marginal at best. I find this to be true of most face primers though, and some of them actually shorten the lifespan of your makeup. I feel like most face primers are a gimmick. Facial and eyelash primers don’t really do much and it’s an extra step for no real discernible difference. If you’re using a good foundation you don’t need a primer and primers and foundations don’t always play well together.
Eyeshadow and lip primers are a different story. Eyeshadow primer evens lid discoloration and gives the powder something to grip onto so it stays on your lid. Please use an actual eyeshadow primer fo this. Not concealer, not foundation, not facial primer. None of this stuff is formulated to do what an eye primer does nor is it “eye safe”. Eye primer makes all the difference in payoff and wear time. Lip primers give you a nice smooth canvas and conceal your natural lip color so that you get a better application and a truer match to what’s in the tube. These two primers will change your life!

If you’re looking for good eye and lip primers check out NYX. You don’t need to spend a lot of money here and their primers get the job done extremely well. Proof It! Waterproof is one of the best eye primers I’ve ever used, does a better job than Urban Decay Primer Potion, and it’s $7. The UD is, I believe, around $28. You need less of the NYX, it dries super quickly, and while you should always lay down a base shade, if you forget that step, this primer is a little more forgiving in that you can still blend it some. And it will make your shadows stay all day long without creasing or migrating. And isn’t that all we really want out of life some days? 😀

TL;DR
1.The eyeliner is good, make sure you keep the lid tight
2. The primer doesn’t really make any difference in your makeup
3. Facial and lash primers aren’t crucial to your routine and in general don’t do much. Some can’t be used together.
4. Eyeshadow and lip primers are something you should use, they really help
5. You don’t need to spend a fortune on these items and NYX has some great ones for under $10

What is a Good Lip Primer? I have never tried one. I have heard that Laura Gellar has a Good one. But it’s kinda expensive for me. If Nyx has a Good one I would def be interested in that Price range.

Reply ButtonReply

Mindy

I like the Ulta brand lip primer. Really inexpensive and works just as well as any higher end lip primer I’ve tried.

Rebecca

Disagree on all points (sorry!) esp the *only use eye primer* there is a reason everyone raves about Mac Paint pots… they are incredible shadow bases. I need face primers during the summer to stop my foundation melting off. I also think regarding primers etc- you get what you pay for.

Elizabeth

The Cover FX primer worked for me and did give me a good blurring effect. I was going to order another one when this spoiler came out, so I’m excited for this box!

Toni

I definitely disagree with you on the eyelash primer. I would have no lashes to speak of without using a primer first . Just goes to show that old saying of different strokes for different folks still works

What is your suggestion for a lip primer? I always have problems with lipstick looking different once I apply it.

Primer is a must! Some like it, some don’t.

Tara Slupczynski

100% disagree with your comment about facial primers. I have extremely dry skin and without a moisturizing primer my foundation cakes almost immediately.

Also the only NYX primer i would recommend is the glitter one. That one is very comparable to Too Faced Glitter Glue which does help a lot with glitter eyeshadow.

Just my two cents.

Reply ButtonReply

Kim

I disagree, I live in the desert and have somewhat dry skin. I find that using a good primer makes all the difference for me. it makes the foundation go on much smoother and more evenly. Sometimes I can get by with a tinted primer and a light dusting of powder. Either way I will not be without my primer.

Reply ButtonReply

Harley

I disagree too. I use nothing but the Smashbox Primerizer and it is amazing and my makeup really does stay on SO much longer and looks smoother too. There are a lot of primers out there that do nothing though I agree on that. But Smashbox is well known for all their different types of primers. You just have to get the one that works best for you.

Wendy

I disagree as well. Primer makes all the difference under my foundation. I won’t go without it.

Ashlea

Does the NYX eyeshadow primer make your eyelids feel weird? That’s the issue I have with the Urban Decay and Elizabeth Mott ones I’ve tried – they feel hard and crinkly.

Reply ButtonReply

Joyce

The UD Primer makes my eyes burn. It takes a little bit after I have worn a little bit. About 15-20 min. It took me a few times to realize what it was making my eyes burn. But I figured out after a few tries. I like Milani. But never tried the Nyx will def try it out.

Candace

I know what you mean about the urban decay. It looks and feels like you put Elmer’s glue on your lids. I’ve never had that problem with the NYX Proof It though. It just makes your eyelids a little tacky and evens out any discoloration. The’ll still look and feel like your eyelids, just stickier. I find with primers the cheaper ones feel better. Hope that helps.

June

I just tried primers recently in my subscription boxes, and I must say, whatever the brand, they all smooth my skin and make my foundation go on smoother and stay more polished throughout the day. I never thought I “needed” a primer but I now think it makes all the difference!

justmissjamey

Was so upset I got the tarte highliter instead of the Mac lip…i always get the opposite of what I would love to try…..with that said…sooooo excited for the eyeliner and brushes!!!!!! I have always wanted to try out this kind of eyeliner and I don’t own Any brushes to put it on!!! Sure hope we all are getting it.

Reply ButtonReply

Dee

I was not impressed with the Tarte Highlighter either until I saw someone use it on the eye lids. I love it like that .

Reply ButtonReply

June

I take the smallest amount of the highlighter, dab it on my face with my fingers, and then tap it out. You have to work quickly because it sets so fast, but I think a very small amount makes a nice subtle highlight. I actually think it’s easier than working with powder.

justmissjamey

Hmm, I might have to try that. I’ve never found a highliter that looks right with my skin because my cheeks has large poores and texture and it seems to put emphasis on what I am trying to cover up.

Mary

I could not be more thrilled. So far everything is cruelty free and everyday staple material. I’m guessing PUR will be a face or eye palette? Something with color? This box is already awesome.

So is the PUR item most likely a palette? Wasn’t there to be a palette in every box this year? I did not care for the last one. Hoping it’s something else.

misfitmorgan

The last palette was colorpop…..suppose to be a palette of some sort in every box as far as i know.

Pur actually makes nice palettes you just have to use a mixing medium.

Reply ButtonReply

Liz

I’m actually wondering if this will be the first month without an eye palette because of the liner and tools?

wondering if the Pur product might be a lip item. A Pur 3-piece lip kit or the Quick Pro Portables would be a dream!

I love Pur, they’re one of my favorite brands. I’ve never had a product I didn’t like from them and I have high end makeup that doesn’t perform near as well. Don’t understand why people rag on them.

Selina

After reading the comments on last month’s PUR palette, I was hesitant, but today I went back and tried the shimmer shades with some Mac fix plus, and it was really beautiful! Then I did the same with the Element of Surprise palette, great results again. I guess i now understand how this works! I will not dismiss pur so quickly in future!

JessicaG

Nope, not alone. I love PüR products and especially love how inexpensive we get them for through this sub!

I love the face palette we got from pur back in January. It looks too bright in the pan but is glowy and beautiful on the skin. I also love the lip exfoliator from them. I do have a little trouble with the eye palette from last month in that the pigment is not great in some of the shades. Overall I love the pur brand and look forward to trying more of their products.

I’m with you, I really loved that lip scrub. I got the three month deal (dec 2017-feb 2018) and this is only only box so far that I’m wishing I got.

Looks like the PUR website has some items like the night face mask that are $49 but on sale. They also have a lot of my little pony themed items marked down like a $49 brush set (actually looks really cute) and some various lip glosses that are around $16 at full price… the only other expensive things are 3-5 piece kits. I lost the comment someone else made with the math so sorry for not responding directly!

This might sound lame but I’m really hoping that we get the PUR translucent powder. I haven’t tried it before but ya girl’s running looooww.

I have a feeling everything has been so good lately (April and upcoming May) because Boxycharm has been having trouble getting subscribers.

The reason they have no waitlist is because nobody is subscribing. I hope no one ever will because the outcome is great!!!

Just wish they’d have better products when they had all the slots filled :-/

Reply ButtonReply

Allie

I don’t think they’ve got any trouble at all with subscribers-I think they’ve just expanded and are able to handle the flow now. They’re definitely not suffering. If their sub rate was going down, big companies would be shying away. The fact that boxesare getting so much better with high end products tells me that they’re growing.

Em

I’m not saying they’re suffering! I’m saying that they have a bunch of empty slots right now. That’s all.

Chris

Lol are you kidding? Boxy is the quickest growing subscription!! They are the most unbelievable box for the money! 20$ for 150$ worth of product every month! I have not had to buy makeup in so long because of boxy!! And I have extra for gifts!! Boxy had to hire a huge amount of employees and expand so quickly because of demand!! People subscribe by the hundreds daily!!

Reply ButtonReply

Em

I’m not saying it’s not. I’m saying at times, a lot of people want to subscribe. And at other times the box isn’t in high demand.

Becca S

I also want to point out that we can get texted when Boxy posts are published here, and I don’t think that is available for many boxes?
Plus, MSA does an Instagram story whenever a Boxy post is made. There are more Boxy posts than any other box gets, and if you compare the number of comments Boxy posts get, it’s higher than other boxes.
Boxy is doing fantastic!

Becca S

I am not sure about that. They seem to have expanded. I think without the waitlist, they can buy more product at a cheaper price. They may be in the big leagues now. My real life friends have now subscribed, and I didn’t know anyone I knew would ever try sub boxes (I didn’t even tell them about Boxy). That’s pretty exciting.

Yes boxy has a huge community. So I’m thinking that they are having no issues attracting new subscribers.

Awhile back I emailed them about when they have no waitlist and they said its when their box has a lot of empty slots.

I agree. We should receive serum or cleansers eye creams. I love Boxycharm but I’m not enjoying the palettes. Only because I don’t use eye shadow to the extreme
