My fomo box just arrived. I have to say I’m loving everything but the girlactic item (it came with half the container stuck to the mirror and it appeared swatched/used). I didn’t realize it was a cream formula. But the rest of the box is awesome and so worth it!

I love it too & love the Girlactik! I had to look up some videos on the best way to use it. I’m sort of disappointed in the Tarte – most of the shades are way lighter than I was thinking and there’s a lot of shimmer fall out under my eyes.

Does Boxycharm let you skip months? I’d sign up just to get this FOMO box but between this and Ipsy and Ipsy Plus that’s a crap ton of makeup every. single. month.

That is a great starter box. I wwould take it any month. That Girlactik highlighter in Moonlight is my holy grail. No complaints if I had to get this as a starter box at all!

Overall, I have been happy with BoxyCharm boxes.
They only thing is why not add at least 2 more items to the box.
I just wished we were getting the eyebrow pallet that the Boxyluxe is getting for March.

Add 2 more things to the box? You’re already getting 5 things for only 21 dollars, valued waaay more than what you’re paying. But I also would love to try that eyebrow palette!

No fear, no missing out.

No they didn’t. I’ve been with them since September & I haven’t gotten a repeat yet.

Oh NO…I just subscribed yesterday, wanting the regular February box. I actually was interested in it because it DID NOT feature a palette. I really hope I do not end up with this box, I will be so disappointed.

I was reading some of Boxycharm’s replies on Instagram for comments about the FOMO box and I gathered that if you signed up on the 17th or after, you’ll get the FOMO box. I would contact their customer service though just to be sure. That’s a real bummer if you signed up for the Feb. box expecting to get the After Glow.

Jennifer
I signed up on the 15th and it said I secured the February box so I’m going to be extremely angry if they send me this. I signed up mainly because of the No Poreblem Primer and the hope of getting the Farmacy face wash.

Oh my gosh! I did the same ditto thing! With the hopes of getting the afterglow box 🙇🏻♀️. Had been procrastinating since the past week to resub and then this happened 😕 sigh, I really hope boxy changes their mind. At least, send out the upcoming items from the March box instead of the previous repeats 😖

Hey Jennifer, if you wind up getting the FOMO box instead, I can send you both the primer and the cleanser, I put both in my family free for all basket.

Hey I don’t know if you still have it but I would love ❤️ to receive that I really need a new primer and signed up to late to receive the After Glow box so if you do it would be much appreciated
April JK
Wow, what an amazingly generous offer. You are so sweet.
Nina
Oh my gosh lucky family! If she doesn’t end up wanting it you can send it my way! 🙂 I’ve heard that Primer is amazing
Jennifer
I think I ~should~ be getting the regular box since Boxycharm has been telling people on Instagram that as long as they signed up before the 17th, they won’t get the FOMO box. I guess we’ll see. I’ll keep your offer in mind though in case I don’t get my way!

I signed up just for the fomo box. I’ll use everything but the liquid lip product (too drying). Looking forward to trying the eyeshadow pallete.

Mel
That liquid lip is actually more of a gloss. I have it and it’s not bad.

PudgeKat
Thanks!

This liquid lipstick doesn’t wear like a normal liquid lipstick. It definitely doesn’t dry down but feels more like a creamy satin lipstick and the color was surprisingly flattering vs the normal poo brown colors.

Steph
The lip product is more of a gloss and I actually love it. I find that the color is so flattering.
Kate
I actually stopped subscribing because I kept getting pink and red lip shades. I only look good in nude or brown lip shades and cannot wear red at all.
I’m surprised everyone has been getting browns!

Ohh look. They still have the Tarte Rainforest Volume III. Would have thought they gave them all out by now considering most everyone got that last month.
Reply
Mel
I love that palette! I suppose if one prefers matte eye shadow, they would be unhappy with it, but I’ve been thrilled. Definitely applies better with a finger, then blend with a fluffy brush.

Stef
Right?! Was not a fan of it- not pigmented, just too highlightery….Im going to give it to my daughter. Total bummer.

I’m going to exercise JOMO here! The only thing I would actually use are the sheet masks and there are other great options at a much lower price point.

Of course a poo brown lip-color would be included in the welcome box.
Their way of preparing you for the many poo colors to come!
Because that’s so Boxy!

Why do you get a beauty subscription box which is known for makeup if you don’t like to experience with colors? I’m pale I have blond hair and blue eyes and I love every lipstick color. I even like to try browns.

I have only ever received one lippie that I don’t care much for in all of my subscription boxes. I think that’s why I subscribe to boxes so I can try new things, and so far, I have only found that one lip shade (the one from the Mother’s Day Glossy Box last year) that is just an odd color and formula for me, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try it anyway!
SubAddict
Because most Boxycharm subscribers complain for a living 😂 The cost of the box is less than the cost of the mascara alone, and 75% of them complain about at least one item every box. If they want only items that they would pick, they should go to the store and pick things themselves and pay full price!
Jessica
I have this shade from a previous Boxy. Although I’ve received several unflattering browns, this wasn’t one of them. I’d describe it as a mauvey nude. It’s actually a nice color and formula.
Reply
Gracie
That’s the only thing that disappoints me with boxycharm. Every lip product that I have received is a weird kielbasa brownish/orangish shade.
Reply
Nina
Ughh the orange shades! I can’t imagine who those actually look good on! I guess if you can rock those shades you can probably rock any color in the rainbow!

😂😂😂😂exactly!!!!

I wouldn’t describe it as “poo color”. Though everyone doesn’t like them, they are good neutral shades for me and many others. I am a darker complexion Latina, so browns make great nudes for me! Calling them poo can be a little offensive in my opinion. There’s got to be a better assesment if who gets what color. I never get browns from boxy, only bubble gum pinks, which are not complimentary to my skin tone. But overall I think this is a great welcome box!
Reply
April JK
I never think poop when I see browns. Idk what that’s about (I do🙄). I think chocolates 😍.
Maren
Thank you for saying this. I also find it a little offensive but have never taken the time to comment. I’m glad boxy includes neutrals that compliment differet skin tones!
Jeanette
Great looking box!

I think this is a good idea on their end. If they are buying less stock then they won’t have as many leftovers and they can reuse what they do have in this fashion. If it was one of the other tarte palettes I’d even be tempted.

Jennie Lagunas
Yes, if it had included the Sizzle palette(pink one) I would get one because the other products are pretty decent. I tried using my charms for this, but no dice. lol

It’s a surprisingly good palette. I was impressed since I wasn’t expecting much! I love my Tartelette toasted palette. I wasn’t a fan of the last tarte palette that they sent as I don’t look good in cool tones. This palette was cute and the shimmers were good. Not as good as the blinc palette collab they had before, but as good as any other shimmer high end shimmer. I do prefer more of an intense shimmer like Ofra, blinc, or the l’oreal infallible singles. I was impressed nonetheless.

Yes this is not the greatest palette. It’s the one I got in my box, and everything is too shimmery for me. It’s not worth using just for the one matte shade, but I don’t want to pass it on to someone else bc it’s such a pretty case.
