BoxyCharm March 2019 FULL Spoilers!

I’m not sure what you saw last night, but as of now I’m seeing the charm room open with 6 products available and a note that it will be open until the 22nd or all products sold.

There’s a version with a mannakadarbeauty Bloom Mascara instead of the Appeal Cosmetics liquid eyeshadow…

I am one of the people that post comments about IGBP in the Boxycharm comments. It’s not a paid thing at all. I don’t think anyone from Ipsy even looks at the comments… If they did I’d probably get some sort of free item or get the best products every month in my box. Not the case though… I just like to point out the differences in the 2 boxes. IGBP has been putting Boxycharm to shame lately.
My posts are only to show how much I like one over the other lately.

The comments about Ipsy actually do tell you what people think of the box. The two are competitors, and boxycharm isn’t as good. Boxycharm has been promising customization for years based on a beauty profile so you can get shades that match your skin tone, skin type, hair type, likes and dislikes ect and still hasn’t delivered. Example- this month both coverfx palettes are too dark for me, but I’m still going to get an item I can’t use because they don’t go based on my fair skin. Last month I got a super dark bronzer for the same reason. This month the Boxy Brands are underwhelming, and I’m not excited for any of the products. Appeal, the brush brand, and OFRA liquid lips feel like they aren’t premium, although I love OFRA highlighters. Ipsy isn’t paying any of us to say Ipsy is better. They’re giving us IT cosmetics brushes, Tarte and HUDA palettes ect. They are literally giving us things from our wish lists at Sephora or Ulta in complimentary shades based on our personal likes and dislikes. That should actually tell you a lot about whether you should try boxycharm or not.

No – these are all probably real paying customers:) Since Ipsy’s price point is comparable – it gets mentioned on here. Ipsy has been better for me so I ended up cancelling my Boxy sub.

I signed up in November and so far I haven’t received anything that I thought I couldn’t use because it didn’t work with my skin tone. The only thing that was disappointing was January’s Tarte palette, but I still use it for inner corner or brow bone highlighter. So not even a total waste. You definitely get a great value for what you pay. And if you ever get something that don’t work for your skin tone, there are trade groups on IG and FB where you can swap with other Charmers. I hope this helps! 😊

Boxycharm is just starting to take our profiles onto consideration. So if you want a more personalized experience I would wait a little longer until Boxycharm takes our profiles more into consideration or try to get Ipsy Glam Plus. Ipsy does do a good job paying attention to your profile, as well as likes and dislikes.

Sub boxes can be hit and miss for pretty any skin tone tbh, unless they take your profile into consideration (like Ipsy kind of does). Desiree Queen does makeup tutorials with her boxycharm boxes and she’s a WOC. If you search for her name or for “boxycharm tutorials” a bunch will pop up. I’d take a look at them and see if you think it would work for you!

I will gladly trade u the lipped for the lashes. Seems like every other box I get an ofra

You can probably get that lippie from someone in the swap groups. I found someone who swapped her PV highlighter for my bronzer.

How do you get GBP?!?! I’ve had IGB for two years and haven’t been offered it and been trying to figure out how to upgrade.

I agree w you whole heartedly but you’ve gotta realize that these beauty boxes really aren’t about providing new or innovative products. You can just buy those on your own. They’re more about the collaborations they can make w different brands and driving up their sales! It’s all about the bottom line at the end of the day!
Also, I don’t believe there truly is a way to have every box personalized to every subscriber. It would be mind blowing to keep up w who likes red, pink, coral lippies etc plus they’d have to hire manpower to pack each box that way. But surely w getting sub boxes, you do get some amount of shades you’ll use. Things can be used w other items you have as well like w lippies. Blush can be used as eyeshadow as well. So much is interchangeable too. Plus you can always donate unwanted items to women’s shelters, gift to friends/family, sell on Ebay or Mercari or sell/trade in numerous FB groups!

I would have been scared to take the time to write all of that and not have it post lol

Nicole: This will be the first month that Boxycharm uses our quiz answers, so all of those lippies you didn’t like were given before you filled out your preferences. But, I’m curious to see how closely they are able to follow our results in our monthly boxes…

I can’t believe this was just one paragraph. Skip lines, save lives. :p

Btw, I agree with you. 🙂

I had the Luxe box but I cancelled it because I liked the spoilers for the regular box better this time around! So far I don’t regret it at all!

I own about half a dozen Ofra liquid lipsticks and the formula is really nice. It’s not 100% transfer proof but it’s pretty close, and it’s not drying at all. This shade looks so pretty, and I don’t own it yet so I’m exited to try it!

I’m also excited to try the liquid eyeshadow, I’ve never heard of this brand before.

Why does it have to be a competition? There are good things about both boxes that make them both enjoyable..in my opinion.

Ipsy Plus is better than Boxy. I cancelled Boxy and Luxe. I haven’t really liked anything I’ve been getting from Boxy the last few months. But the products I’ve been getting in Ipsy Plus are items I will use. This month the only item I won’t use in my Ipsy Plus is a mascara and that’s because I don’t wear mascara.

Ewww sorry Ipsy does not come close!! Never has!!

Mine too! I don’t understand the complaints about Ofra. Their formulas are really good and they are cruelty free. I think I have 8 or 9 of their liquid lips now- some from subs and some I bought. They are one of the few liquid lips that don’t make my lips super dry and crack.

Agreed. I never thought I would even consider cancelling Boxycharm, but I am just not impressed with them lately. I upgraded to Ipsy plus and I am thrilled with the Huda palette I’m getting this month. And the luxe box has a Morphe palette which seems laughable to me. I have nothing against Morphe, but they are not luxury products. Boxycharm better get it together before they lose more subscribers.

That was what made me cancel! I was going through my stuff and realized most of the boxy products were still in the boxes. And the few I tried I wasn’t really happy with or using… like all the PUR palettes. Switched to IPSY and IPSY PLUS and am actually excited and using products not just admiring RV of them.

Totally. I spend more on GBP, especially with add-ons but I get products I am genuinely excited about and it’s still a great deal.

Amen!

XD so true

I’m only doing Boxy until Ipsy upgrades me to GBP. I was told I’m next on the list to get off the waiting list so fingers crossed that’ll be sometime between now and May. GBP just seems like a better value to me from their spoilers. Boxy better step it up if they wanna compete.

Yup you are 100% correct. I saw what I’m getting in my ipsy glam plus and now seeing this,, I am not impressed with this or the boxyluxe honestly…I’m thinking of cancelling and going with the beauty test tube instead. They are good too!

It’s not just you! It’s very true
