I just got off the waitlist. I understand why some people are canceling though.
I had Boxyluxe and the regular box. I kept seeing the premium box receiving Natasha Denona and many others for about $10.00 more or $15.00-$20.00 less than what I pay for Boxyluxe ($25+27/mo). This month is a not what I was expecting, but there is almost no difference in cost.
I am not crazy about the palette or the straightener. I love Hourglass, but I don’t use blush. I love that people are swapping for products they do want.

So is the cost of premium different each month then?

I totally canceled premium over this. I don’t need yet another brown/gold/orange palatte I can’t use (that’s all they EVER send) and I have curly hair. Why aren’t there any more options from them ever? So predictable, always.

I finally got off wait-list for January premium box after canceling and resubscribing for January and when the time came for choice for February premium box I was not able to choose they did not send me an email and I was not able to choose on site and I check everyday so there is no way I missed that one, i know I just got off wait-list and received my first premium box but I should be able to choose for the next month regardless I was looking forward to choosing an item for premium box what a crock.

Anyone know what time choice for Premium subscribers opens today? It’s after 2:00pm Eastern and I still don’t have the option for choice when I log into the BC website…no email yet either.
I hope I don’t miss the opportunity to choose they did this same thing to me last month, I contacted customer service and they just told me there was nothing they could do to help since the choice window was closed by the time they emailed me back…

Can anyone please clarify how premium box works? Do I have to subscribe to both regular boxy and premium? I only want premium but it says it will charge for both boxes the first time….. ????

i had the same issue in DEC, Paid for the reg/premium/luxe all in the same month. Kinda sucks.

Yep. I know I had to pay for both boxes that first month. You will not get to choose your item for your first Premium box. Choice is for your second month.
Has anyone received information about Premium choice yet?

You can cancel Base box and just get premium but if you have luxe you won’t be able to cancel base box.
Vanessa
From my experience you don’t get to choose for your second box either and costumer support is not very helpful.

OMG, I would love to get the straighter in my Feb box. I have so so many eye shadow palettes it’s crazy.

Jacki
I don’t know what to choose. I don’t straighten my hair. The palette has so many warm colors that aren’t flattering on me. I’m excited about the hourglass blush and the mist. I won’t be so excited about the black eyeliner I predict is coming 😂

I am unsure too! I think I’d rather have a backup hair straightener in case my chi ever bites the dust. How does this brand perform by comparison??? I am concerned about value though. They say it doesn’t impact your box value it but in the past it has impacted the variant you receive. Thinking back to the second Luxe box specifically…
I have another day to decide I guess. We know what half the box will be. Our pick plus the blush and mist. Who’s to say the other 3 items will be that fabulous anyway given the previous 3 boxes.

Is it odd that there is such a significant price discrepancy ($50) between the two choice items ($79.99 vs. $29.00)? Does anyone know if this affects how the rest of Is box curated? The reason I ask is bc I am not crazy about either of the choices for February and wondering if there is a strategy behind choosing an item and if it affects the rest is the box variation. If I choose the less expensive option, will the rest of the product variations featured in the box be valued higher then if i was to select the $79.00 choice item? My January premium box had two drugstore/clearance items in it (bliss mask is on clearance at CVS for $7.50, and the BDB kit is at TJ Maxx for $7.99). I was under the impression that premium included more luxe products and coveted brands. I will love to know if there is a way to avoid getting the lower end products. Any insight is greatly appreciated as I am new to Premium!

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking! I’ve always gone with the most expensive choice item and always get a box that I don’t like. It seems that the best boxes are always with the lower valued choice option which is sad to me. They should make the choice items comparable in price to avoid this frustration! But the other problem is that March Luxe has either a curling wand or a Tarte Eyeshadow Palette but I don’t know if we get to choose! I don’t want a curling wand if I choose a flat iron for this box! Anyone have insights on what the choice is for Luxe or if the curling wand is going to be a choice item? That would kinda help me decide I guess. But I still don’t want a crap Premium box based on getting the flat iron. Does anyone know for sure if Hourglass is a guaranteed item or is it a variation? Thanks!
GMForever
Ohh. You have me scratching my head now. I have never thought about this and always pick the highest value item whenever I can’t decide. Hmmm…. Anyone knows, please chime in.
Candi
I feel the same way, I’m afraid if I get the straightner im going to get junk! I feel like the price tag on the straightner is really high. Everyone that i can find online is between 35-50 dollars. So i believe I am personally going pick the eyeshadow and see what happens!
Sweets
Im excited for Premium I actually love all my premium boxes so far. I hope the palette is in add on so i can have both 🤞

I am not at all excited by Premium this month and just got on for the January box. I don’t need a straightener. I gave away the last 3 items we received in sub boxes. The palette isnt at all exciting to me nor is the mist cause i have so many. The hourglass blush is the only thing as of now that I’m interested in. I still have a very large surplus of inventory so I’m pleasantly shocked that I may skip Premium this month. Still mulling it over but 90% skipping.
Reply

There is still a waitlist for Premium as far as I know. I think if you cancel, someone else will get your spot and you may be waiting longer than a month to get it again.
I do agree it’s pretty lack luster. I am excited about the blush and even the mist (wouldn’t outright buy it but curious).

I could’ve sworn I saw the hourglass blush bring promoted for the base box a while ago… Is it now only in premium? I was hoping to get that…

Same. Super disappointed if it’s only for premium since it seemed to be advertised as a spoiler for the regular box.

It was…that’s the reason I’m confused. It wasn’t a choice for me on the base box

I really hope it’s at least a variant item in the base box, I was REALLY excited to see hourglass being promoted and not specifically for premium…

I want that Hourglass blush!!! I joined the waitlist about a week ago… What are the chances that I will be out of the waitlist by feb. 1rst?? None?

I got off the waitlist the first time out. I signed up about 40 minutes after it opened and they successfully billed me the first month so I’ve been Premium ever since. Just make sure your billing is ready to go by midnight January 31st. If they can’t bill you right the first time for your box, you won’t get off the waitlist. And they bill right after midnight.

Many people on Reddit said that they cancelled their base box while being on a Premium waitlist and suddenly they were accepted to Premium! (Because otherwise they would lose a customer). Worth a try if you are not that into keeping your base box!

Have you reached out to them? Their customer service is pretty useless no matter the problem but it’s worth a try. I’m just doesn’t seem like you should still be on it. It only took me two months.
I’m considering unsubscribing so maybe that will free up a spot for you. My first two Premiums were great and I couldn’t afford to have it, the base box and luxe. I hated giving up Luxe but I felt like Premium only was the smartest use of my money. Wrong! My January Premium box was HORRIBLE. Only two usable items. The rest was like many people said, a bunch of under $10 clearance products and/or products completely wrong for my skin. I was so upset I’d given up Luxe knowing I would have to start at the bottom of the waitlist again.
I finally went ahead and reactivated my base box and got back on the Luxe waitlist. I haven’t unsubscribed from Premium yet but I’m definitely leaning that way. None of these products excite me plus I’m not sure if these are actual choice items or just some of the many variants we may receive. If I don’t see any other spoilers I like I’m canceling before they charge me. Hope you get off the list soon. In the meantime take comfort in the knowledge that the spoilers and certain box variations look great but there are many of us not getting more than one or two items we like and feeling cheated. If you were off the list already you might be one of us. 😄
Chelsea
I desperately need a new straightener and have been too cheap to buy a new one, so I know what I’m picking!
I’m super excited for the blush as well. It’s very high end and luxurious looking.
I hope everyone gets a great box in February!

Does anyone knw if this Hair straightener will be bigger than the one that we received in our Boxyluxe last year? I sure hope so

Yes! The last one was a mini. This one is full size!
Debbie
Yes, it is a full straightner. Joe did a video on these products and referenced the “travel” size😂 one given in 2018. This way you can have both. Yeah, that travel size was a complete joke.
Christa H.
According to Boxy’s Instagram, it will be a full size.
Toni
Looking at the photo it looks mini because I have a few pallets from that brand

I’m wondering the same thing I have the mini and I have way too much hair to use it lol

Boxycharm often does box variations with large retail value differences. I have not noticed the choice item affecting the value of the remainder of the box.

If it makes you feel better, the box was $54 this go around and not $39. Still a good deal I suppose, they said it’s going to be a different price every time based on what’s in it.
