Is this a joke? I got put on luxe waitlist 20 mins into it and never got off like others after me. And there is luxe products listed here. They claimed they were sold out. What a damn joke. No thanks

Agreed! I’m so glad I’m off their rollercoaster ride!

I’ve been with Boxy for 3.5 years and we’ve never received a Cargo palette, so where did that come from?! Boxy has gone down hill drastically since they introduced the Luxe box. They lied and said the boxes would remain the same. They’ve changed their site. Now our boxes will have a $100 value, not $120. They are also sending travel size and cheap $5 products, which didn’t happen before. We had always received 5 full size products and if one was smaller, we received 6. Recently they sent us 5 products and 3 were full size. It’s ridiculous.

It drives me crazy that every box has a typo. I know I’m petty. 10 shadeCrown BLUSH set not brush set lol

It’s an eyeshadow palette not a blush or brush set. “CROWN Brush” is the name of the brand, because they primarily make brushes. I see what you mean with the other typos! This article must have been quickly thrown together.

The name of the brand is Crown Brush. I think they started out doing mostly/only brushes like Morphe. I’m pretty sure it’s the fuego eyeshadow pallet they had. I actually didn’t get that month so I’m not sure if it’s good but I liked one I got years ago from an Ipsy deal.

I subbed in Jan. Received all these products thus far. Bf Bc looks so sad. Why no néw items to interest existing subbers? No current subbers would buy this. I’m hoping to get off wl for bl. Bl is the real deal.

I don’t ever like to denigrate Boxycharm, but this just seems like an odd offering…at least to me.

Overpriced leftovers. Easy pass.

Every single item in these boxes are leftover products from previous boxes at inflated prices. A boxycharm regular box includes 5 items for $21. But they’re going to sell 7 of these same items for $59?
Go home boxycharm, you’re drunk.

I would grab one, perfect for some gifts!

I’m guessing these are going to be attractive mainly to non-subscribers. IMO, better to clean out their overstock this way than repeating products in our monthly boxes like we saw in October.

I might be the only one, but I am pretty excited. I have 3 daughters, 4 nieces, 2 sisters and TONS of friends that would love any of these items as gifts.
I have a tendency to dive into my boxes and try everything so can’t give it gift it away…
I am considering a box, for sure.

I have most all of these same items not opened that I’m looking to get off my hands!! I know there are swap and even sites to sell Boxycharm items. If your interested let me know..
Reply
torres_alexia
Me too. Where are you selling them or swapping them?

This is just an observation, but while there are a lot of pallettes, the skin stuffs, like the juice serum and Rio body oil that made luxe, well, luxe? That is all missing. This is more a hodge podge of the last 3 or 4 boxes put together.
I can’t fault them for trying to make the most out of a bunch of left over product.

I wouldn’t even buy those for half the price they are asking!! I mean I was made about getting some of those products and I’d only paid $21😂🤦🏼♀️

Anyone who has been subscribed to boxy has all those items already not a deal in my opinion. I am maybe missing 2 or 3 items at best . Passing

Those don’t seem like Black Friday deals to me – they seem like boxes of steeply priced leftovers 😒 No thanks.

I read an article on Boxycharm and how they got started. They purchase overstock, discontinued and product about to expire. My last box contained a KVD lipstick. It had a black mark on the bar code. I looked up the expiration date. It expired 6 months!

Most things you get in boxes like this will have a black mark on the bar code so people don’t go to Sephora or Ulta for a refund.

Frankly Im totally bummed by this. Theyve been on the market for too long to try and pull this. I mean what poor soul is gonna fall for it? I feel sorry for the one that does.

I’m just eyeballing the products but it’s a shame that many Charmers were waitlisted and never received the first Luxe box but here are clearly leftover products repackaged into a larger, more expensive box. If I had been waitlisted, I’d be upset!

Jessie Mendoza
yeah but all of the best stuff isn’t there like the juice serum and the luxie pro blush. Sure its *some* of the stuff, but not the full box.

Like I said it could be left overs they had extra in case something was broke in a charmers box, it still seems seedy business though, idk that’s my opinion, would of been better to see the extra items in the charm shop for the ones who couldn’t snag a box to get, and make some bomb ass holiday boxes that would fly off the shelves.. idk that’s how I would of handled it

I am one of the waitlisted subscribers and you’re absolutely right. So messed up! Not only do they obviously have products to send more of the BoxyLuxe boxes so badly wanted, but they never followed through on their promise of making it up to those of its who couldn’t get that box due to their technical problems. So incredibly disappointed!

That’s what I said I posted about this a couple hours ago on the spoiler post for the November variations. I was fortunate to receive a luxe box, but how can boxy do this to people who were waitlisted. I’m upset for those people it seems shady tbh I’m staying for December luxe but idk after that. My October box was TERRIBLE, have no idea how November’s looks so far, and now seeing the products for luxe in an over priced box makes me wonder what’s going on now. I get the products might be extras they had on hand in case someone’s products were damaged, but to me it seems to be throwing salt in a wound for the ones who were waitlisted.

If someone who filed a BBB complaint about the Luxe Box situation sees this, it will get interesting because in Boxycharm’s responses they claimed to have run out of the products!

Woof those are expensive boxes! Lots of good items, but for 2 months of BC you get the same. Not sure who they are marketing these to…

My wallet is so happy I already have all of these from subscribing and don’t need duplicates. Such good deals though!

I love that Pretty Vulgar eyeliner. I’ll likely pass on these boxes. On major product overload.
