The special edition box had big name brands. So if this new box can be described as the same as the regular box only more, then I would think it would only cost about $10 more. And it might include an additional hero item with a choice of beauty/skincare.

I sure hope they don’t go with the word “luxe” that word is as cringe worthy as the word “lippie ”
I hope they keep the price reasonable. But better and more products sound great each month.

Yes! I don’t even know when we started saying lippie. My sister would say it and I assumed it was something she said for the benefit or because of my at the time 3 (now 5) year old niece. When I resubscribed to Boxycharm and started looking at forums and such again, I realized it was a thing. I am having to learn to say it. #areyousureimamillennial

Hahaha yeah. I think color pop uses the term “lippie” so maybe it helped it become a saying?!? I don’t know why but those two words luxe and lippie make me cringe even reading it. I hear it in youtube videos and I just cant. I’m glad to know many others out here feel the same way and it’s not just me. 🙂

Maybe they should call this boxycharm and use boxycharmers or something like charm school or something lol

Vicky H

Sooo… I was unsubscribed at the time of the limited edition boxes but I’ve heard it was crazy and hard to get them. Has Yosef mentioned if all subscribers will get to make the choice to upgrade/stay the same or will it be a first come first serve basis mad house?

I’m pretty sure I am going to go with the upgraded box if given an option and it’s under $50 per month. I paused/cancelled Cult Crushes so I am ready and waiting!!!

I wanna cancel my cult crushes too, how do I go about it? . it seems so lame, lol. and not worth it since the price upgrade. its like as soon as they get a little attention their like…. oh my, gotta make that more money!!! not worth it!! hard to like anything when you compare it to BoxyCharm!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

I can’t remember…sorry! I know I had to go into account settings and stumble around. I think it had something to do with my purchases. Let me know if you don’t figure it out and I can look again tonight.

It was horrid to get it. We were supposed to get an email link with tracking (I’ve been subbed almost 2 years and maybe got tracking 2 times ever, IF that) and of course that month was not the tracking month. …and even people that weren’t subbed got ahold of the link and passed it around. Plus they allowed everyone more then one box and some 10 plus were bought before anyone that wanted just one could get one….then they supposedly restocked and the site kept glitching. It was absolutely horriable.

Boxy luxe definitely but I agree with everyone else that I would expect to receive better product brands and add ons from the charm shop of thing we want or have loved in the past would be a plus or even better. Boxy plus sound like a plus size clothing store as another person said, definitely a no on that one!

I live in Canada and I worry that a more expensive box will get charged duty/fees/ taxes at the border. Currently it gets here really fast and they value the box at around $15 So it zips right on through customs. Even a box valued at $20US would be charged a minimum of $15CAD, rendering the upgrade of little value.

So essentially, they’ve alienated all Canadian customers with this upgrade option…

I got the limited edition box last year ($50 price for $200 value) and there were no additional customs fees.

Could be a little more money but instead of getting one variant or the other, the upgraded boxes just get all the variants…. That wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Jamie

I would pay another $10 to get all the variants. That would be bomb af.

My guess it will be more the 10. Extra. I bet more like 49.99 or so. I wonder if they also took notice of the tribe debacle as well. At the very least it would be nice if they used the technology that limited and tracked upgrade (limited edition box) to each subscriber, so random people don’t start signing up and beat the people that’s been here for a while to upgrade.

I can totally imagine ” we didn’t realize so many of our charmer would upgrade to this offer and due to this, some people will have to be wait listed for the upgrade. But rest assured that it will be soon and we are working on it” I sure hope it don’t happen like that. Lol

I know it sounds a bit crazy to say that I trust a sub box company, but I actually do trust BC and it’s owner to not toss the whole thing down the drain. He seems intelligent and very connected with subscribers.

Curious about the price point but I know I’ll be upgrading lol. Didn’t think boxy could get any better but I guess so, can’t wait for fall now.

I hope this doesn’t lower the value of the regular box like everyone else is saying. If they go with the name luxe, let’s hope it would actually include luxe brands!! And, I would love if we could pick add on items, or at least customize which extra products we would get in the upgraded box!

They are going to ruin a beautiful thing.

I was thinking they were going to mess it all up with the inclusion of monthly skin care/hair care/nail polish/etc, and now there’s this too. I am concerned.

Dianne

They should call it Boxyluxe. A better Boxy Wow so excited. Hope it doesn’t cost to much more.

Michelle Bross

I think add-ons is a great idea or being able to choose more products or the products you want for an additional fee. I hate the word Luxe but I hate the word Plus equally.

Vicky H

They did say that it will be the same box but with additional products. He also mentioned that the special boxes they did a while back were tests to see how people reponded. MSA actually has a review posted for it too!

I share everyone else’s concern. Even if it is extras how extra or premium will they be? I don’t want to pay an extra $20-$25 for Pur or OFRA. I’d i decide to stick to the normal box, will they do less premium hero products in the normal box to differentiate the luxe box? I hope they can find the right balance!

Reply ButtonReply

Vicky H

I for one could see value if for instance it’s an extra product from featured brands. An example might be if they did pretty vulgar eyeliner then the Luxe subscribers also get a pretty vulgar mascara.

Side question – I missed out on charms because it’s been a week and still no solution to my account access I.e. password reset. I also can’t send a referral. 🙁 Ugh! Anyone else unable to reset their password?

😯Not excited about this. I worry that our regular box will go downhill like Glossybox did. If our products start sucking, then sadly I will let Boxy go. Have been with Boxy for about 2 years and love them. Hopefully I don’t have to cancel. ☹

The $21 boxycharm box would only get better.

Alice

Yeeessss!!! Thank you so much Yosef for clarifying and comforting me😍
I love you!! 😄😍💖

Boxycharm is the best beauty subscription service on the market, hands down!! I started out with 4 subscriptions (Ipsy, Play, Glossybox), and this is the only one I have left. Do you know why? The quality and value are off the charts! I love being introduced to new products and challenged to use product I would never have considered before. A $21/month addition that is so fun. Now to know that it’s only getting better…I’m in!

Anna

This sounds intriguing! I prefer Boxyluxe as the name as I want to feel pampered and luxurious when I get my Boxycharm. I hope the upgraded box price point isn’t too much higher and delivers the same excitement with a more luxe feel to it 💕

Jamie

Hi Yosef! Really excited abt this, but hoping the upgrade is as affordable as boxycharm itself has always been.

June

I’m with a lot of others on this thread. I love Boxy the way it is, and while I don’t mind if some would like MORE product at a higher cost each month, I hope that doesn’t change the box we all know and love. More is ok, but less is not!!

For those of you concerned about inferior products in the standard box, Yosef announced on IG that the standard box will have the exact same items as the upgraded box. The upgraded box will just have additional items in them. There are other sub boxes that successful operate on a similar system. The main subscription base will always be the standard box since only a certain amount of people can afford to upgrade their subscription compared to all the subscribers they have for the standard box.

Maybe the upgraded box will have the other variables in them added? Not sure but if they stick to their current platform and just have an upgrade option then it should be a great addition to their service.

Actually I don’t care what they call the upgraded box…but I DO care about the quality of the existing Boxycharm subscription. Also, I suppose the new price of the upgrade will also determine whether I decide to imbibe.

I’m worried, nonetheless…

Exciting. Waiting for more details … maybe it will be like Singles Swag box. It sounds like that from his Insta story … They seem to work hard and do a great job of learning from mistakes. I am hoping Lisa Sugar calls Josef to see how she can do a dope Fall Box!

Boo to censorship! I can’t type anything I want to say. There Are no curse words, it’s box related. I don’t like either names. Why is that such a bad thing to write? I put the word H*te referring to both names. Is that on the censoring filter? We’re all adults here (hopefully) and should be able to voice negative opinions if we so choose.

I know I’ll be jealous either way as I can’t currently afford a more expensive box, but jealousy I can deal with. However they better keep the current quality level otherwise I’ll leave. If suddenly the big eyeshadow palettes are only in the “upgraded” version and I’m stuck with just a four pan countor kit And some eyeliner I’ll be leaving.

Rather than two separate tier level boxes, the BoxyLuxe box should just have an add-ons. That way there is a base box, but you can pick and choose which items you want to add to it each month based on an additional fee.

Could be good, could suck. I’ll wait and see.

BoxyLuxe and I hope the $21 box will stay the same and the LUXE box would add skin care. That way, those of us who just want makeup could get the regular and those who want skin care, hair care and other things could go with the LUXE. But they better not change the Boxy Charm I just signed up for. I am loving it!!!

I love this idea! I wouldn’t mind skincare, I just want my 5 makeup items first and foremost.

If it’s a few dollars more and you pay more for more products plus you still get everything in the regular boxy then Boxyluxe is great but if I’m getting bellapierre, ofra, and Pure while they get sephora brands then they may as well just raise the price and get rid of boxy as it is now.

TheOtherJulia

Definitely Boxy Luxe. But. I really hope they don’t change the format of the current box. I would be very unhappy if the quality of the products went downhill, and the only way to get the products we get now is to upgrade. As the old saying goes “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Boxy Lux for sure. But, i feel like if they do that..then the 21$ a month items will be crap to make you pay more to get more items and better items except they will be Pur Cosmetics and Real Her type brands 🤣. Also, they should then include more of a customized item (like FFF does) if they expect people to pay more. I would never do FFF st 49.99 without customization. And then i think about the whole limited edition box mess where they made it seem like amazing value and a lmazing items. When the items sucked.. that this upgrade box would be like that. My opinion, my conspiracy, allegedly 🤣 ⏱it!

I was worried about that too, however, Yosef just announced that it will be the same items as the standard box, but they will add extra items to the upgraded box. I know a few subscriptions that have upgraded boxes so it definitely works if they are just doing added items for the upgrade 🙂
