I love boxy and I am praying for those dark DOC palette. I do not always get what I want in my box, however, I love the surprise and always have at least 3 items I love. These colors are so vibrant I sure hope I get them:-) My Oct boxy arrived in perfect shape. I have 2 subs so I received 2 different colored palettes that I loved. the mauves and the berries. The colors are gorgeous. Like so many others I did not care for the gloss. But, the rest of the box was fabulous. I can’t wait for boxy premium to see what is new. I picked the eye serum for November. I am so excited to have some eye treatment in the box. I luv luv luv skin products:-)

My Oct. box has the Snow Angels palette. I haven’t seen any unboxings with that palatte. Did anyone else receive the snow angels.

Me too! I wasn’t too happy

Yeap. I did. I have been obsessively watching unboxings and none had the snow angels.
I guess they had the least amount or those variations with sassy siennas and baked browns got shipped first. I’m not mad about it, although it seems to be a tricky one 😀

Overall wayyyyyyyyy better than Ipsy!
I like it!

My October Boxycharm was the biggest let down ever. I opened the box, took products out and shuffled them into my makeup bin which I never use. This months I also not impressed with a selection at all. Looks like they are increasing price, but products are getting worst. How was your box? Anything exiting?

Jennifer Davidson
My October box was as well. The iconic spray was leaking and my palette which were the Sienna colors (not my colors) one of them was cracked and it was a mess everywhere. Then a black eye liner pencil that looked like it came from the dollar store. My whole box essentially looked like some items picked up at the dollar store. I will continue through the end of the year, but if the boxes are not of better quality by then I will be cancelling.

Is anyone willing to swap either the Warm Brown or Sienna for their berry palette? I’m getting two boxes and neither is what I wanted (the berry)
Still waiting to get approved for the swap page here (been waiting forever) let me know here and we can connect!

Amber
I got a sneak peek at my box and it appears I am getting the berry palette, definitely not my colors. I’ve never swapped products before, but let me know if you still want too!

I can kind of understand the substitution for new subscribers. Is boxy just expected to keep an infinite amount of the product on hand? When they purchase, they have good idea of the amount they need for their current subscriber base, plus extra to replace broken product, but when you have a huge base that just subscribes for one month for one product, how could you possibly anticipate that number? It sucks for the new people, but I get it from a business perspective

They don’t have to do a promo if they don’t have enough product. They can use a waitlist. They can clearly state their intentions to properly set expectations.

I did not get the choice email (did my November choice on the website though) so I cannot see my spoilers. I expect to get a tarte palette because I used the code to resub. If that means I don’t get the DOC palette I’m actually OK with that because the colors are way too dark for me. I do think Boxy could have made it clear that this was how they planned to handle those who subbed using the tarte code though. I hate that people who resubbed specifically for the DOC may not get it!

Exactly my feelings. The fact that they arent straight forward with the whole tarte palette thing is the frustrating part for me. It just seems a little shady when they arent being straight forward with everything. Disappointing for sure. I am looking forward to some things in my box still so it doesnt feel like a loss or anything. Just wish they would have been more transparent is all

I am so excited for the November box. I love the new Dominique Cosmetics eyeshadow palette, but I didn’t want to pay full price for it, so this is such a great surprise!! Also, Juice Beauty and Kypris?? (I might have gotten both) 😉

Are you a new member? I’m getting the Glamglow as well in one of my extra boxycharm boxes. I’m wondering are they subbing the cleanser instead of an eyeshadow palette? Because if so, that is not fair.
Reply
Sung
Yes I’m new member. Looks like I’m not getting any eyeshadow palette or maybe just free tarte palette. I love skincare more than make up. So I do not care much about it.
Kiersten
So i just signed back up too and i got the glam glow cleanser, lipgloss and touch in sol in my spoilers… i literally signed back up for the DOC palette. If they are subbing the cleanser for that it is completely unfair. Esp when the palette is a for sure item. I dont get it
Misha
It looks like you’ll be getting the tarte palette if you signed up using code for free palette
Dot
I like my box saw three of the items I’m getting
My box is 1lb.
I’m getting
– baked Browns (which I really wanted for fall)

If they are going to offer the previous month’s leftovers as add-ons, they should at least wait until the end of the month when everyone has received their box.

It’s up! I grabbed the serum as my choice and a glow spray in Addons.

I think making us check social media for the add on or choice selection is the final straw in Boxycharm for me. It feels like if you aren’t an “influencer” you need not apply. When Sephora says they are open on Monday, they mean regular business hours, not sit at home and wait for us to email you that we are ready to receive your peasant money. This fake anticipation build up is a first world problem and I am so over it.

I love Dominique Cosmetics! I already have Celestial Storm but I don’t mind getting this smaller version. My niece will get a great palette out of it.
At least it’s better than the broken water bottle I got last month. 😬🙄

Cringed at the colors of this eye shadow palette, which I’m entitled to my opinion, and we all like different things. I respect that some will love and some will not. That is okay and no one should be bashed for their opinions.
Looked at reviews of the larger version of this palette that pops up from the link, and the reviews are not good at all. Not looking forward to this palette, at all.

It’s a mix of neutrals and brights, not sure how else to make everyone happy with the colors. I’m more worried about the Dose of Colors palettes coming this month. I worry that all of us that are bored of neutrals will get them and vice versa.

There isn’t any way to make everyone happy, that is for sure. It has to be hard when they are selecting palettes. Also, don’t think a box should revolve around any particular color story, so I wish there were a few cool palettes somewhere near the amount of warm ones that have been popping up for a couple years. I buy my own cool toned palettes, so I think maybe the surprise subscription route is probably running its course for me. If I subscribe to a box with variants, it’s not like I have room to complain if I pay for them to send me whatever they choose. As far as October, it sure would have been nice to be able to choose the Dose of Color palette one wanted this month. It might not have been as clear in my comment, but nearly all reviewers on YouTube slammed the larger version of this palette, Storm, because of issues other than colors.

Are you talking about The Inkey Eye Brightener with or without the caffeine ?
They have two version on Sephora for less then $10.00 , but which version? Thanks

Who’s with me that believes all 3 items will become a variant item down the line? And I’m betting the Kypris will not be included in the ‘pick you one item’ choice which starts this Nov.

Nope. Yosef already announced that those 2 items are our pick items in a FB video. I believe he also said all subscribers will receive the exclusive to Boxy palette

Exactly. The choice has already been announced and happens tomorrow.
And it would make sense if it is an exclusive to Boxy product that all would receive it. I mean that might change but its marketing for boxy to have an “exclusive” product.

Well you will find out tomorrow since the Choice pick for November is tomorrow.
Pick your item actually started for the October box in September. That was the Iconic spray or the Touch In Sol balm.

Angela, where do I do to submit my choice pick for the November box? I am fairly new to Boxy and do not want to miss this offer. Thank so much.

I’m cool with either choice, but is this for reg Boxycharm or premium? Since the value is supposed to be up to $125 for the reg box now ? if you choose the more expensive item, will you get just more less ideal products to make up the value difference. Wish there was more spoilers lol
Reply
Rachel B
Box values always vary. Sure $125 is the advertised but sometimes even when it was a $100 box it could be $175. I believe Josef said variations next month could mean your box value is up to $200.
The Kypris price jacked up recently. Used to be more like $70/$75. I don’t put much stock on the “value” assigned for reasons like that. If you are going with price per ounce the eye cream for example is more expensive.
Reply
Maria
That is a good question considering the serum is worth almost twice as much as the eye treatment. If you pick the serum are you more likely to get cheap crap like Jonteblu eyeliners? I suppose it would make sense given that the $90 serum and palette alone almost covers the promised value of the box. But who knows? It usually seems pretty random when it comes to those “filler” items.
