I got this version, but I got a black kohl eye liner.

You have to take their beauty quiz, you give them information about your skin tone and that’s how they select your shade – it’s not random. They started this a couple months ago when they sent the Cover FX face palette.

The last item is a lipliner from Steve Laurant (value $15).

I hope it’s better than the other things I have from Steve Laurent. I have an eyeshadow and a blush and I’m not at all impressed.

The colour is gorgeous, but apparently it’s really dry. Probably similar to the Mac wooden lip pencils.

I know it sounds weird but I really like the shape of the shipping box that they use. I think it makes the items more appealing.

Choosing between the mascara and the serum was an option if you canceled boxy and resubscribed.

You should be able to. I upgraded from regular Boxy to Luxe the last go around, and was off the wait-list in time to receive the Luxe.

Although I only use glimmer eyeshadows during the evenings out during the holidays I would love to get them.
I am excited to get this box!

I feel like I’m the only person who rarely gets mascara in sub boxes! And I always need mascara bc for my sensitive eyes, I have to be strict on the throw out date. Hoping I’ll get the mascara this round!!!!!

It seems common to get mascara, but more common to complain about it. People shouldn’t use a mascara for more than 6 weeks before they should consider it unsafe so I don’t know what the complaint is.

I get mascara in almost every box I get. 1 boxy and 2 ipsy gbp. Out if the 3 I will at least get one. Never out of tribe. Update your preferences. I asked for often.

I actually cancelled boxycharm and they took money out of my account for the August box..nothing I want so that’s an extra bummer for me..sigh..I am.breakijg on all my subs for August and of course boxycharm screwed up…again…… I’m so tired of screw ups with my accounts, with any of them. Just had to vent, enjoy the weekend !

I believe you have to cancel by a certain date otherwise you’ll still get charged so maybe you were too late?

If you cancelled and have any kind of proof you cancelled you can absolutely dispute it with your cc company. I think they are counting on people just eating it. If they get enough chargebacks maybe they will stop?

It’s matte but feels wet when initial application if that makes sense lol

My July Boxy was shipped 7/10 via FedEx. It arrived here in my town and *poof* disappeared from the radar. Boxy CS was great to deal with in this circumstance and they reshipped my July Box. So August will seem like Xmas when I receive both boxes.

There is SO MUCH negativity here!! I love BC! I’m always happy with most everything I get and what I don’t love or won’t use, I give away to my daughter, mom or friends who are always thrilled to receive what I give them.
If you don’t like it, cancel. It’s that simple. There is no way BC can please everyone with every product they send out but even if u only like1 item, it’s a pretty good bet that item is well over the value of the cost of the box.
I really hope I get the serum over the mascara but either way, the mascara is excellent and as long as I don’t open it, it will last until you need it.

Well that’s the good thing about us using this forum. We can complain or be ecstatic. Huh

I specifically stayed subbed for the Becca powder so realllllly hoping I actually get it. Lol.

They’ve said on their Insta a couple times over the past couple of days that everyone will receive the Becca. ☺️

Every one gets the powder, varying shades is the kicker

The shades get sent out based on your beauty quiz, if you want to make sure you get your shade, make sure you do your quiz before they send out your box – simple.

Hate how whiny and demanding the majority of these comments are. Its clear that blind box subscriptions are not for you and you should take your negativity and your 21 dollars to ulta and buy what you REALLY want.

They ask one to fill out a profile. If it is truly a blindbox like Macy’s, why fill out a profile. I get disappointed when i receive products for darker skin tones when i marked “fair” in my profile. This was especially disheartening when i received a luxe box with palettes that were way way too dark. I’m fine with what they send so long as it’s usable for my skin tone. I filled out a profile as they requested and i gave them my money. It’s not too high of an expectation for them to either match my profile or just be forthcoming with their customers and say it’s a blindbox and dispense with filling out profiles.

The liner looks similar to MakeUp Geek or Persona Cosmetics…either of which would be awesome!

The eyeliner kind of looks like the Alamar Cosmetics new lip liners to me…

It’s a Steve Laurent lipliner / supposedly it’s very dry, but the colour looks pretty.

I was just about to comment this. I completely agree that it looks like the packaging of the new alamar cosmetics des-nude-as lip liners that go with the des-nude-as lipglosses many of us got last month. I’d love that.

That’s what I thought everyone saying eyeliner but its actually lipliner in 3 different shades I heard all neutral so shld work for everyone

Okay, am I the only one who is excited and loves Boxy?? I sub to Ipsy, Allure, and Boxy and I love that they all give a different variety. Seriously we pay $21 a month for Boxy, that to me is worth it even if we bought ONE of the items in these boxes they would cover the cost. Keep on with what your doing Boxy, I love this box!

I totally agree with you. The Becca powder along makes the box and everything else like a bonus. Boxy is an excellent value at $21

Anyone know if they match the powder to your profile? If I got the darker one the whole box would feel like a waste to me.

Someone on r/BeautyBoxes posted their email (or Insta comment? can’t remember), & the answer was that the powder color you get is supposed to be based on your profile.

I really wish these boxes would stop with Wander beauty. I never like their products

Yeah their peel off face mask was torturous…. it so didn’t come off like the video showed. At least not for me! I really wish they’d put more tatcha (sp?) in their boxes.

@R August really? I have loved almost every single wander beauty product I’ve tried. Their products are great for people who love a more natural, everyday type of makeup. Nothing heavy.

Amen! I LOVE Wander Beauty! Everything I have used by them is amazing – their eye masks are THE BEST – they work better than any other for me. I ALWAYS have some in my fridge.
I hope I get the face oil – I’ve been dying to try it. I truly don’t understand why so many people complain! And about the most trivial things!!
It’s a subscription box – no one’s forcing you to buy it so if you’re unhappy, cancel but don’t come on here and bring everyone else down.
I always love my BC boxes – I don’t get what this issue is. Even if I don’t love something, the box is always well over the $21 paid so I don’t feel like there’s anything to complain about.
I tell my kids, “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit”, maybe advice some people here should take…

Their eye masks are the worst I’ve ever tried and they show up in just about every single beauty box. I did like their first mascara though. I think it was their first. The burgundy tube with the curved brush. I was able to skip the lash curler when using it. I don’t think I’ve tried anything else yet, although I know I have one or two in my stash somewhere. But I don’t like oil anyway unless it’s a night time treatment. I would never ever put it on in the morning. Especially not in the summer.

I REALLY want the Glass Skin serum, I hated that mascara. Fingers crossed guys!!!
