I didn’t even get any of these variations for the april fomo box. I got the trulia face masks, it cosmetics confidence in a cream, kat von d liquid lipstick, laura geller illuminating drops, and pretty vulgar gel eyeliner. My box is so different from these variations.

I just got my April FOMO box… and it is totally different than the ones you posted… I recieved Pretty Vulgar “Nightingale” eyeshadow palette ($35), Luxie “Beauty Luminous Eye Set” ($21), Bang Beauty “Chocolate” Gel eyeliner pot ($22), Tatcha “Luminous Dewy Skin Mask” ($24), and Tarte “Glitter Lip Paint” in color Flaming Hot ($20).
Which honestly is even better and more up my alley then the stuff previously mentioned 🙂

They are not going to send the FOMO box
They will send the April box
This is a deception meant to suck you in, but it will be substituted.
The April box is not sold out. I signed up Saturday and was immediately informed I would get April’s box

This is fine. It’s all stuff they’ve sent since I quit subbing so I’d allllmost come back for this if I’d actually get it?

I didn’t like this brush set. It was too light and had no weight, felt really cheap & gave it to my toddler for play. I really like the reg April luxie brush set, but everything else was garbage, wasn’t worth the sub price for me.

What is the reg Luxie brush set? Just wanting to look it up 🙂

I just canceled. I think I’m on subscription box overload. I get GlossyBox, BoxyCharm, Allure, BeautyFix and something else I think. I’ve got a giant box FILLED with stuff I’ll never use and I’m Marie Kondoing.

Holy smokes! I was subscribed to both Allure and Play for a couple years and realized last month I couldn’t keep up with using all the products and needed to get rid of one of them. I can’t imagine how much stuff you must have!! If you need someone to “donate” unwanted stuff to, let me know. Lol.

Hmm just looked at some reviews of the Slay bag…looks like off brand TJ Maxx makeup to me. Hope you like what you get though.

I believe they are only on their 3rd bag… sneak peak for April is a Cailyn contour palette and Cailyn duo contour brush… never tried the brand so we will see… fingers crossed!

I’ve been subscribed to Boxy Charm for 6 months…. I was one of the subscribers that received an incorrect FX Pallette shade and received an equivalent of $45 in charms. I was very pleased with that until I looked at the charm room, where there weren’t that many options… and then found out soon after that the charm room would be closed until April 4th, 2019 I believe… I can’t redeem my charms unless I have an active membership. So basically making charm items available after the charge date for the months subscription. Not cool… we all see through this!

Fomo box on the first day of the month? that’s insane. Wish they would spend more money on CS(perhaps not having it outsourced) and less money on marketing, since it seems like they can’t keep up with the demand.

OMFG I want the FOMO box instead of the regular box. I want everything in this box, dying for the Ace eyeshadows. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah. Me too. I have one of those brushes and it is awesome. I’d love to get this set.

The Ace Pallette is absoloutlely incredible, I definitely recommend it! Im kinda digging the fomo box too because I really want that Suva pallette.

LOL! I actually want the FOMO box instead also. I liked the Tatcha masks and could use some more.

Just re-subbed. I hope I get the Protoge palette. Last time I re-subbed I didn’t get the variation of the Tarte palette that I wanted :/

OMG I just got my email spoiler and it looks like they’re sending me the April box instead of the FOMO box :'(
I contacted customer service, but I haven’t had luck with them in the past, so I doubt this will get resolved. Honestly, if they can’t switch my box to the FOMO one (I was NOT a current subscriber after all) then I’d rather just get a refund instead of the April box. Zero interest in the products in the April box.

I would so rather have this.. thought because I cancelled Boxy Luxe that my account was closed.. haha.. NO still have this God awful April box that I do not want and did not think that I was receiving. Beyond done with this box. Not their fault they are just not for me so time to move on. Never thought I would say it but they also never used to be all about glitter

It’s pretty simple, if you are currently subscribed you will get the regular box, if you subscribe/resubscribe now, you get the FOMO box. It’s not surprising they are sold out as many people are interested in the coming skincare box, so my guess is this plays into their sold out status, since you have to be subscribed to be eligible for it.

It actually says former subscribers will receive the regular April box on Boxycharm’s homepage.
Reply

Boxy doesn’t explain things correctly. They say that April is sold out, but also say that if you reactivate during the month you will receive the April box. That can’t happen if they are sold out. They should call this a new subscriber box. I’m not sure what they’re trying to do but they’re causing a lot of confusion.

They specifically state on their home page that if you subscribe in April you get this box which they call the fomo box.
Reply
Trish
Right. If you are a new subscriber you receive the fomo box. If you resubscribe you get the regular April box.

I’d honestly rather have this box that Aprils box For sure

I would also rather get this box than the bright pigmented eyeshadows, that I would for sure not use. Do they go off of our beauty quiz where it says I like neutral colors? Or is it going to send those bright colors not listening to what I wear? Ugh

Boxycharm has never really customized, March was the first time and people still got the wrong shade.

Seems like a better box than the actual April box to me!

Ok I’m nervous now… this is the 4th time Boxy has for some reason charged my account in the middle of the night just hours before I get paid. So their first attempt to charge me fails and i get that email saying to update my payment info and they’ll try again. They don’t make their second attempt until a few days later. So am I now going to receive the FOMO box because the regular one is sold out? They technically haven’t charged me for the April box yet and probably won’t for another few days.

No, their regular box is NOT sold out! If you’re a current subscriber you’ll still get the regular April box, not the FOMO box, only brand new subscribers are getting the FOMO box.
Reply
Julie
Ok good! They already give me a mild heart attack when they jump the gun charging me because the email title is “Your account is about to get cancelled!” in big bold letters. This is the first time it’s happened since starting the FOMO boxes so I’m a lil nervous!

Never thought I would ever say this, but I have had enough from Boxycharm, be it their shipping, their odd product variations or their growing fetish with offering inferior Customer Service. I had my fill and cancelled last week. I’m not sure f they are just growing too fast (then they should know all too well, to slow down until they can stand by their offers OR is it just a feeling they are the best subscription and they don’t have need to worry? Whatever it is, I had enough…😢😭😢

That moment when you prefer the fomo box to their normal April. This is the first box ever that I’m disappointed in.

How did that box possibly sell out already? Boxy are you ok? Did you only have like 12 of these pur palettes?

I am a first time subscriber and I ordered mine April 15th and got the regular box…. I was hoping I got the fomo box though. I wanted a few things in that box. But love my box I got!!!!

Boxy is fine, they’re just trying to get rid of old left overs and since they are so shady, they just lie and say “sold out” instead of being up front and calling this what it is…a new subscriber box. Like stop ✋ Boxy, people see right through your nonsense. This is just your way of getting rid of old stuff and that is perfectly fine, just be up front about it, it’s your deceptive marketing is what’s turning people off! Btw, for anyone reading this and considering the FOMO, that Ace Beaute palette is amazing quality.😉

Lori
Yessss. SO MUCH THIS ^^^
Trish
Nicole, you’re exactly right. They can’t be sold out if people that reactivate get the April box. They like to word things like they are more successful than they are. They didn’t sell out on the first day. And they’ve caused so much confusion on their Facebook page because people think this is an April Fool’s joke. Boxy has been quite the fiasco lately.
Chansie
Both of these FOMO boxes are actually all amazing products, I almost want to create a new account so I can grab one of these too, and just pass on the palette because I already have both of these, and love them both! For April Boxycharm didn’t market the FOMO box as the April box being sold out, they just said the FOMO box is for new subscribers only. Copied straight from Boxycharm’s home page:
