UPDATE: More SPOILERS for the Reg Box at boxycharmsneakpeek instagram!!
ReplyAlice R
Are there any additional spoilers for December? I’ve been watching so I can make my final decision on a cancel. Today is the day to do it. I was only hanging on to Boxycharm until the products they owed to me had shipped. I just got the notice on the last one, my Kypris that they didn’t invclude with November. I was thinking of keeping December just for the Saturday Skin. Without additional spoilers, and knowing I’ve been burned on the past two boxes, I believe it’s time to bid them adieu. I already had cancelled my Luxe. I simply cannot support Boxycharm. My hard earned money is best spent elsewhere.

Man! I cancelled Allure a little while back and wanted to get Boxy as My one Christmas gift….its 25$ now?? Thought it was $21. . Also, that horrible little pallette!! I wonder if there’s a chance if I sign up new for December if I could get the Elemis…💋 🐞
ReplyKelly Perales
I recently re-joined boxycharm and I haven’t been getting emails about choosing your one item to customize. I didn’t get one for November and now it looks like i will miss out on choosing for December. When I log into my account it doesn’t show anything regarding choosing. Am i missing something? I”m on the waitlist for Boxylux but haven’t received any emails about that either.
ReplyZaara
Hi! If you haven’t been getting any emails to choose I’d suggest contacting the customer care. I don’t think you can choose anywhere on the website since it’s a different link that’s sent to everyone via email. As far as the luxe is concerned you only find out if you’re off the waitlist if you’re charged on the first. If you’re not, then you’re still on the waitlist. Hope this helps!

Wow regular boxycharm gets elemis? Why do i need luxe then?
ReplyKat in CT
Whoaa is this the box that only costs $25? I LOVE Elemis but cant afford it. I was lucky to be on a Disney Cruise that got upgraded for some reason (I wasnt the booker) and instead of H2O that the regular cabins got (which I also feel in love with) we got Elemis which is amazing. I might subscribe just for this.
ReplyAngela
They’re worth the $25, and you get to pick an item out of 2 each month. I was subscribed to Boxycharm & Ipsy + (also $25) but knew I’d have to quit 1 of them, and I chose to stay with Boxycharm! Ipsy doesn’t personalize as well, and so many of their products are now up & coming brands, and not the good name brands like Boxycharm carries! The choice was easy.
ReplyAnna
Can I get some help here please? So, I am on the waitlist for boxyluxe, and they made me choose for it, so I got no regular boxycharm choice email. When will I know if I am getting boxyluxe or boxycharm? Only if they charge me on Dec 1rst? What are my chances to get the luxe since I got waitlisted in October? Thanks!
ReplyAmy Bowman
When I was waitlisted I came off the next cycle so you should be fine. Since the choice items for luxe and base box are the same it doesn’t really matter. If they take you off the waitlist they will charge you for luxe on Dec 1st.
ReplyAnna
Thanks for the reply. I guess I will just wait and see what happens! But I really like this big storybrooke pallete the have on this luxe and I wish I will get it!
Ali
So frustrated! I emailed when choice for the base box opened to ask if I cancelled the luxe box would I still get a choice for the base box… I finally got a response this morning saying sorry, choice is closed – even though it is their fault for not getting back to me earlier! Plus, isn’t choice actually still open??
ReplyMariah
Boxycharm sometimes has good deal items… like full sized expensive items that you are saving money on by being a subscriber, but for the most part, it’s just a way for cosmetic companies to ditch their overstocked clearance junk. Check out the sephora website in any given month and you will see recent boxycharm box items all throughout the clearance section.
ReplyStephanie
The luxe box is better though .
Story book paylette is not the same as base box you only get mini version in base there is more items to go also .
Base box might mini watermelon cream so maybe we get the bigger version . I’m sure it will be well worth the extra money .
So far every luxe box I have seen has been so amazing I can’t complain at all , if you bought any of these items at sephora they would cost alot more money . This round isn’t as fun but it’s still worth 49.99 in my opinion
ReplyMik
The base box choices have been full-size items. I’m sure that this month is no exception.
Shari
They seem to be taking a cue from today’s Politic’s keep the Chaos going….Any publicity is better than none.
ReplyRubyWooWhoo
I’ve noticed this as well. The chaos almost seems intentional- it’s hard to imagine that they just luck into this much incompetence. 😄
ReplyAlice R
Indeed
ReplyJennO
Just being honest, I find it unfair and a bit lazy to give base and Luxe the same choice. The base box is going to be worth more than the premium box if people choose the oil. That’s not good business practice…Again.
ReplySJ
If a regular box recipient picks a higher value item, it’ll be paired with a lower cost item to even things out.
There’s a set number of pre-determined variations. If you pick the oil, you are now limited to only those variations containing the oil… Which like won’t have the other pricey options for the month.
ReplySteph
Boxyluxe usually has around 3 items from the base box. It makes sense having the same options so if someone on the luxe waitlist makes a choice, and doesn’t get removed from the waitlist, they’ll still receive their choice item.
ReplyAmy Bowman
Yes, but they usually aren’t the highest valued items in the box. That means if the rest of what luxe is getting is just filler items it really doesn’t justify the extra price.
Amy
The reason this is so confusing is because luxe and base box are getting the same choice items. I’m starting to wonder why I’m paying $50 when base box is getting the same high priced items, including a storybook palette. If the only thing extra we get is a lip gloss and the qms or facial roller it isn’t worth it to me.

Tip: You don’t have to receive a Choice email to make your selection for December. Just go directly to the website. You should see an indication on the site that choice is open. Click on it and make your selection. I’m Luxe and already made my choice so I can’t tell you the exact placement or wording of the notice, but it’s pretty intuitive.
ReplySherri
Hmmm… I know they provided a button on the website last month to access your choice, but I don’t think they have this month. At least it’s not in the spot where it was last month, and the website has a banner that tells people to go to the link provided in their email. I’m pretty sure they are handling it differently this month, and you do have to receive the email.
ReplyS
That was the case, last month, but unfortunately this time they did not put the option up on the website. We are all at the mercy of waiting for an email. It’s now been 24 hours and no email (or response from customer service) has been sent.
There is an indication that it is time to select your Choice on the website but it simply states: Choice Window for December BoxyCharm is now open. Check your email inbox for the link. There is no option to select it anywhere on the website.
ReplyGina Penny
Please ladies and men, it took me forever to “figure” this out, yet do at work all the time… If you are not presented with options upon login to your BC Account for either version, any “pop-ups” (not sales but in the windows on your computer or table or phone), disable blocker or pop up blockers, then the choices show up.
For 50 dollar my box that I just recieved sadly the BEST PREPARED and secure for safe passage box was BEAUTIFUL, all items not only wrapped, but box was near full with filler plastic packaging. They even put the liquid item with cap screwed on tightly and ALSO IN A BAG (Ziplock and a secure one!~I know since ALL THE liquid stayed in that bag! The packaging and care they put into their curations in amazing and no way for half of 100 dollars you could get such a nice range of very nice items, securely packed to the best of their ability (try really went ALL OUT, I am so impressed!). Anyway, Unlike IPSY and their “three levels of D’s H” as my students now refer to Ipsy” BC really has another customer base in mind and in not crazy speed into “Ultimate packages, and so, sadly I still have yet to get a Premium Shipment, but I would much rather wait than to get duplicate items, many more “large samples rather than full-sizes, and much kinder and nicer customer service. Anyone still reading, know that I type fast, and that I hope you will consider that Ipsy rushes, then reconfigures to adjust, and Boxy instead prepares, plans and implements logically, and although the BOTH REALLY have awesome and very nice and reasonable customer service agents, BC is the winner every time unless you just happen to get really lucky. My opinion, I enjoy them both for different reasons, but thought I would finally share a really nice evening “diving” into my Boxy Plus and although nothing super duper, all the items are things I will use, things I wanted to try and/or things I had and now need replacements before the holidays. Maybe I got lucky. 🙂 Rather, Boxy Charm knows what they are doing, is doing it so very few (if any) are disappointed (Ipsy was deceptive before they started Ultimate, for example, and very big deal for many collector people, the Betty Boop Bag was IDENTICAL and items overlapped. The bag was a nice quality and cute zippered black sequined case with ornate pull, but why pay 50 for 4 items when for 25 you get 5? The samples and regular size did not provided 12 it promised. My sister and I double-checked. Also, we had between the two of us a completely missing shipment and that was disappointing. Honestly, though, employees working for either organization are trying to provide a “little surprise and as the value goes up the complaining does as well when the curation and or the quality are not of the higher level. Simple consumer reality, so let’s applaud them both for providing us with gifts we gift to ourselves (yes, we deserve it!) and share with friends when they are not perfect for us. Enjoy the Holiday Season and consider sending unused products to me for my students! 🙂 HO HO HO
Jean
Well that’s a bummer. I liked knowing that I could always enter my selection even if I didn’t get an email.
Jay
I sent this a DM on Twitter and they responded almost immediately compared to sending this an email or sending a DM on IG. Just include your email address so they can send you the link. hth.
Jamey
I think they are working on emails so they can send to the people they advertise too for sales etc, and they are just working out the kinks…..I hope so anyways. Lol

Still no Choice email. AND I subscribe to BoxyCharm Annual; Luxe and Premium. No replies to my emails either. RIDICULOUS!!!!
ReplyAlice
Their customer service stinks.
ReplySherri
If you have Luxe, you will not be getting an email. Luxe choice happened a little while ago. The current choice is for subscribers who get the basic BoxyCharm box only, no Luxe.
ReplyKelly
It weird because I got the email and canceled the base box and just have on my acct that I want the premium. Did this happen to anyone else? I hope i don’t get charged for both.
Blaire
Is it too late to sign up and get December’s box? I wouldn’t be able to choose though, right? Should I go w the regular or luxe? I have Ipsy now, reg and plus. Was excited to sign up for ultimate but so far not impressed.
ReplyThomasina
If you sign up today, they will charge you today and you will get November’s box. Then will be put on the waitlist for Luxe.
Not sure if you will be able to make a choice but you could always email them and see if that is an option.
ReplyTiffany Schmidt
I still have not gotten a choice email from BoxyCharm and its 719am CST thr next day. I email CS and have not gotten a reply. This is really frustrating and I’m getting really pissed off at how inept BoxyCharm has been lately. I’m an active BC subscriber and want all the perks I was promised like being able to choose a product every month. Has anyone else still not recieved the choice email??
ReplyS
Same boat…
No reply from CS. I already had a chain going between myself and CS about the fact that they never send me these types of emails, so I replied to that as well… But no response there either.
Everyone says just to send a CS notice but they’re so slow to respond (and sometimes never even do) that’s the window will be long closed by the time I hear anything. I’m also a premium member, so it appears I’ll be missing out on choice for that option as well.
The previous month you could sign into your account and make your choice that way. Everyone was able to access that, no email needed. I don’t know why they went away from that when so many of us never get their emails.
ReplyMel
I got this reply back from them today:
Thank you for contacting BoxyCharm. At this time, the Choice window is closed. Although we’re unable to record your Choice, we have many more Choice opportunities coming! We’re sorry for any inconvenience caused and look forward to Charming you at the next Choice offering.
And since the choice window doesn’t close until tomorrow, I’m not impressed. I responded and told them if they didn’t fix it and give me a choice I would be cancelling my subscription. I work hard for the money I make and only support companies and actually treat their customers right and so far from all I’m reading BoxyCharm isn’t one of those companies.
C L
Same here… Ridiculous!!!! I want the oil because I already have that cream. Even tried signing out then back in several times. CS never responds for takes up to 3-5 days. Totally ridiculous!
Christa H.
If I’m already a Boxyluxe member and now Premium as well, will I be getting both of those boxes for December? I’m confused I guess… I know since I have Boxyluxe, so I won’t get the regular base box, but what about the Premium box. Can anyone help? Please.
ReplyLena
Yeah, you’ll always get two boxes every month as long as you’re signed up for premium.
ReplyAleen
There is no overlap between boxes if you are subscribed to Premium and Boxyluxe. This month we got the extended brush set in premium and it was replaced by another product in the base box.
ReplyRobin
I chose the oil. Looking at reviews for the Saturday skin, it won’t work for my skin.
ReplyLucy
I chose the oil 😊
ReplyLily
If the Elemis oil and Saturday Skin are choices for the Reg. Boxycharm box, why did my email yesterday say this:
” Thank you for upgrading to BoxyLuxe! Since you upgraded after the December BoxyLuxe Choice Window closed last October 31, as a one-time exception, we are giving you the chance to choose one item in your December BoxyLuxe.
You have until Friday, November 15, 2019 at 3:00 PM (ET) or while supplies last to make your Choice.
Choice is available first come, first serve.”
I chose the Elemis Rose facial oil, thinking I was getting some special choice for BOXYLUXE.
But, all in all, it’s just a Boxycharm product?
Please help, so confused.
I still have no idea whether I will get Boxycharm box, Boxyluxe box, or Boxy Premium box?
SO confused. PLUS, they charged me for a November Boxycharm box and have shipped it too…
Is this right?:
** November- Boxycharm
** December- Boxyluxe with a bottle of Elemis Rose facial oil
Their site is SO weird and poor, I go to try to see what they are doing with the status updates of the waitlist and gee, I sign in and it’s like ” SUBSCRIBE TO BOXYCHARM NOW”.
I am subscribed. This happens every time I try to get their boxes LOL.
Thanks for any help.
ReplyLena
Yeah, Boxyluxe comes out every 3 months and costs $50. The months it’s available is when it replaces your regular boxycharm box (you’ll only get one box each month either way). So next month you’ll be charged $50 instead of $25 because it’s Boxyluxe month. Sometimes there are some of the same items in both boxes but luxe will have still have more items overall that’s why your choice items were the same in both boxes.

No email from Boxy! No way to choose from my account! I can’t even do the skin color thingy because it’s blank! I’ve been subbed to Boxy since their beginning, and now they are doing so much so fast that I can’t keep Up and neither can they

For the skin one, I had to open an incognito tab and then log in. The cookies on my phone jacked it up.

I picked the saturday skin. Can’t wait! I’m out of moisterizer and although it is probably BS, the thought of putting something with icelandic moss on me sounds exciting lol
ReplyNicole
Can someone just post the link from the email for those of us who didn’t get one? It’s orobably the same link, it would be impossible for them to give individualized links. I own a website so I would know, but I didn’t get an email and would like to enter a choice before time runs out. Anyone willing to post the link please?
ReplyJenn
it’s personalized! And yes, this is very possible. It’s how users are tracked as recipients of marketing campaigns. The software loops through each account and creates a personalized link that is embedded in the email. So sorry, you need your link! Maybe check spam?
Sherri
My understanding is that the link takes the recipient directly to the recipient’s account (associated with that email) at their website, thus the link is not universal. On FB stories BC specifically cautioned people not to share the link, saying it was because the person with whom the link was shared could change the selection of the original email recipient (because it would be going to their account). I don’t know enough about how websites and accounts work to know if this is true or not, I’m just passing along the information.
Alice
I chose it, too. I love gels and am looking forward to trying this.
Replyjulie
I was tempted to get luxe for the elemis oil but the ingredients weren’t worth the extra cost but am thrilled to have it in my regular box!
ReplyRochelle
Is it possibly that you are getting the luxe or premium (or whatever they are called or are on the waitlist for the better boxes and would have gotten it earlier for the earlier choice day?
ReplyStacy
Rochelle I’m not really understanding your comment. There is the base box ($25)which choice is open now and you choose between the Elemis or Saturday skin
There’s luxe (the $50 box) that choice was already done (it was between the Elemis or saturday skin and your 2nd item was a choice between a face roller or lip serum)
There’s premium ($35) that choice is open on Nov 18th. We don’t know what those items are yet.
Does that help?
ReplyRochelle
Stacy, yes, that’s the information I thought might help Svetlana. I thought maybe the reason she didn’t get an email was that she was getting one of the boxes other than the base box or somehow qualified for a different choice. For some reason my comment didn’t post as a reply to her comment, so it’s out of place where it posted. Thank you for the information!
Stephanie W
I got the Elemis oil but only because is have a few unopened moisturizers and will likely gift some to loved ones for the holidays. There are new items in the Charm store, too. I got the Farsali jelly highlighter, which I of course have no need for since I have a million highlighters but I had charms & wanted to try it.
ReplyPunkykiki
Can someone help me get this straight?
1$) If I get off BoxyLuxe waiting, I will get my choices from a few weeks ago. If I don’t get off the list, I’ll end up with a base box without a choice, right? Because I don’t have an email to choose.
2) Now to further muddy the waters, if I get off of Premium wait list, will I still have to get a base box without a choice? Because I remember reading that for the first month of Premium you have to buy a base box.
3) Was that just for November or is it anytime you join you have to buy a base box the first month.
4). Will my luxe box count as buying a base for Premium?
5). Will I have to buy all three boxes with a base box without a choice?
I would appreciate anyone’s help here who is in the know. Thanks so much, everyone!!!
Oh, I saw several people ask where to put the results of their complexion section. There is a link on Megan’s Review of Boxy Premium, I think. It’s on one of her three Boxy reviews for November.
ReplyJacki
This choice is exactly the same as we had for luxe, so you would still get that item. The other choice would only apply if you get off the waitlist 😊
ReplyAlice R
Thank you for clarifying this!
Jackie
Luxe would count as a base box for your first Ultimate.
