It may be wishful thinking, but I really hope BC customer service is reading comments here. I have been a loyal customer for 2 years, suffered through last months very ridiculous box (not a single item I could use, not 1) hoping that boxyluxe would be a saving grace for BC, only to feel very deflated yet again. They should not have allowed us to choose luxe as a name. These aren’t luxury items. That’s not my biggest complaint though. I am a natural redhead with green eyes and very fair skin. No way I can wear these ugly brown and orange lipsticks they keep sending my way, the one time I get a pink was last month and it was matte. I hate matte! Then to make it even worse it was a Barbie pink. Come on? I can’t pull that off and to be fair I don’t know a person alive in my circle who can. I have been waiting and hanging on for the Hank & Henry, I’m pretty sure they said we all would get it. Now it’s a variant. I loved BC when it wasn’t variants. Raise your hand if you like a variant? This is literally why I cancelled all my other boxes except Allure and BC. Because of feeling deceived over the Hank & Henry and the last five boxes I received being crap I am cancelling. I will be going to Sephora on Friday and spend my money there, plus I can always shop online if wanted. At least I will get items and colors I like. It’s been a long time since BC has satisfied me, but I’m calling it quits.

I am really looking forward to the September box! Loving all the products so far. Looks like nothing will be going in the gift closet for this box…I’m keeping them all. 😀

Am I the only one tired of blush? How many blushes do they really think we need? Send a setting powder or something for goodness sakes.

Yeah, I’m a bit tired of blushes as well.

I appreciate how the variations are at least the same type of product. And I was so on the fence about boxyluxe until I saw the oil and now the smashbox primer. That primer is amazing

Just got another spoiler for Boxyluxe, a Smashbox spray primer. That means that there are only 4 things that aren’t spoiled. I wouldn’t say any of it is ‘lifestyle’, just more makeup and skincare. I like a lot of the spoilers, but at the same time, I don’t know if I need MORE than what I was getting already…

I seriously want the Hank & Henry lip gloss…I’m SO over matte lip products!! Truthfully I’m about 70% sure that I’m canceling Boxycharm and I cannot believe that I’m saying that, as Boxycharm used to be my favorite sub! I only stayed for the (horrible) August box because I wanted the opportunity to upgrade to BoxyLuxe, but after seeing the spoilers that have been released I’m NOT impressed!! I think it may be time for Boxy and I to break-up?!?!

All these variations are making me reconsider my boxy subscription. Last month I got lashes I’ll probably never use and an ugly smashbox lippie. Normally I don’t mind getting one item I don’t like/won’t use, but most of the box was a flop. I’ve been holding on for the hank and henry, but now I might not even get it 😫

My heart is broken!!! I’ve been waiting months to get my Hands on the Hank & Henry product!!! So many of his followers signed up just for his box and now they find out it’s a variant!! I’ve been subscribed for over two years but I’m really fed up with these variants!!! I feel cheated as I thought we were all told everyone would get a Hank & Henry product!!!!!!!!! I never thought I’d say this but I’m not liking where Boxy charm is headed and I’m almost tempted to cancel. Sad because I’ve always loved their boxes.

I agree. I guess all the variations are the cost of not having a waitlist anymore.

I agree. They need to stop with the variants or give people a choice like FFF does. And of course they’ll send all of the good stuff to their publicity people to get more subscribers and then stick everyone else with the cheap stuff.

I feel the same way. I’ve been waiting for that H&H product forever and now this 🙄

Violet Voss has a category for a liquid lipstick. I love the colorful eyeshadows she has, so I hope that is a reflection of a fun lip line with pretty colors.
Otherwise, this is a very disappointing spoiler for me. I don’t wear lip gloss, and was really hoping for a Hank & Henry eye color of some sort. I wanted to be excited about the Pretty Vulgar palette but there is not one color there that I do not already have two or three times over. So far, everything I have seen will be re-homed.

I’ve had the opportunity to try lorac lippies several times so I’d rather receive another brand.

I love brown lipstick, but the brown they gave this month was unwearable

The lipstick variation is making me cringe after last months smashbox colors. I hope it’s not just shades that nobody would buy.

I got a very pretty smashbox lippie red from Boxy last month and really love it .I hate the nudes cause I need color and red makes teeth look whiter and I have lost color in my lips so red works for me.

I could be wrong but I thought when they first mentioned hank & henry as a brand spoiler they said all subscriber’s would receive.
So we’ve had this brand spoiler for a while and now it’s a variation.
So over the variations man.
I think having no wait list is causing way to many variations.

Maybe I heard what I wanted to hear, but I also thought Yosef said everyone would be getting Hank & Henry. I hate these variations – and, based on Boxycharm reviews, I am not alone! Very disappointing!!!!

yes, I thought I heard that too :-/ At lest these variations are just brand and not completely different products like last month. I got the worst box of all time! false lashes, a pot of basically colorless eyeliner, and cuticle oil. The only worthwhile item were the gold eye masks. and for as pigmented as the LL palette looked, the formula was quite powdery- so I was actually able to blend it with some nude and wear it to work, so I guess that’s good. August was the only disspointing month as far as product quality, and unfair variants- a Becca primer or full sized tarte mascara vs. fake eyelashes? not fair!! this box was definitely a mis-mosh of a few new items, and alot of leftovers.
Elise
Ya I am REALLY excited about the spoilers so far!!! I will use all of these things but I do wish everyone would get the same thing just maybe have subscribers pick from different colors? Of the same product. I am excited to try any of the lippies though and I am excited for the colors. I hope something pink, mauve or like a cool toned nude. The brown shades don’t look good on me.
Momo
How disappointing! I, too, would have loved to get H&H lippy. They sneak peaked the brand (with KVD) and Yosef said on one of his videos that every brand he has mentioned so far will be in the regular BC box (H&H, KVD)! This sucks… And what a lie! Ugh… not liking the variations. I have to agree with many of the BC subbers, Aug smashbox lippies were the worse (obviously no sale clearanced and still no one would buy). FYI: Lorac lipsticks are buttery smooth but very perfume-y for my liking.

It was definitely misleading information.

Violet Voss eye shadows PLEASE!
Reply
Dani
Hmmmm…checked out the Violet Voss sight and there are no lip products at all. So maybe it will be a brand new product? I’d rather try a Hank & Henry gloss though. Definitely a lot of variations but at least so far they’re in the same category (vs primer or false lashes.). Still not sure about the upgrade. I’d love the Tarte palette but don’t like Juice Beauty. Hopefully we’ll get another spoiler before sign up day.

I would be more than happy to take the Juice Beauty off of your hands. It’s my favorite moisturizer. :o)

If I don’t get the Girlactik (which I am sure I won’t as I am willing to bet version 1, (the version I AWAYS get year after year, trying to quit then resub, even ordering 2 boxes at different times of same month, to no avail) will have LG because it’s a much bigger company and probably gave Boxy the best deal) and you do I’d gladly give up my Juice Beauty for your Girlactik. LG is great but I want to try something new.
Heather K
They do have some. This first one is some cute metallic that are sold out:
These are some more Matte ones, like we usually get, same regular color schemes, same dry looking formula except the “Fizzy Pop” color. That one looks nice. Probably just as drying as the others, but it won’t look like it! Hah!
Thing is, with the Matte ones, they say to use their strawberry lip scrub prior to using the lipstick. If they send that one, I hope they send the scrub as well….

Oh ok. I went to shop: makeup: lip products from that link and “no results” came up. Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was rather strange. Lol.

Honestly all these variations are tempting me to cancel. I want to invest in Tatis vitamins, but cut out a few subs first… boxy might be going! Especially with upgraded ipsy on the horizon. Ahhh decisions decisions.

Couldn’t agree more!! I hate these variations and I’m pissed about H&H!! Been waiting months for his product to come out!!! So many of his followers signed up just because of him. They are pissed. Think a lot of people are going to cancel

@Jill……upgraded Ipsy? Do tell ….

Ipsy Glam Bag Plus (<– ipsy went with plus not luxe, lol…smart!). The new launch is sometime b4 end of this yr. No exact price yet. Promising 5 full size products. MSA just posted a pic spoiler of IGB+(ipsy glam bag plus). The Sunday Riley & bum bum cream (supposedly bigger than boxys but not full size) look like deluxe/travel size items. Anyhow, all brand name, higher end & better brands. Since I cancelled my bc sub in Aug, i think I'll try igb+ when it comes out 🙂 BL spoilers have proved to be non worthy of $50, lol.

Wow that Hank and Henry is expensive. 2 little shadows are $37.

Too bad it’s a variant that we won’t all get and that it’s not an eyeshadow at all.
