O wow that sucks! I’m sorry. I had my car broken into once & it’s just an awful feeling.

maluna kai

sorry it happened to you too 🙁 Horrible people walking around these days stealing with little to no repercussions, at least in Cali. On the bright side, it gives me a reason to buy new makeup, even though they stole my new makeup pallet I just bought for Christmas :*( Thank goodness for BoxyCharm for giving me an affordable way to replace it all. I learned to not leave anything in the car, not even a jacket.

Hi! The foundation was a choice item. The first spoiler was about those.
The eyeshadow or the foundation or the eye cream which I purchased as an add on and OMG it is wonderful, or the Kate Summerville serum.

Do ya’ll recommend the premium box for $10 more per month? Is there any overlap items or is it a completely different box from the regular each month?
Thanks

It’s a completely different box. I just got off the wait list this current month, so i can’t tell you if it’s worth it yet though!

Boxy says there is no overlap and your base box and premium box will be completely different. 😊

Ok help! I saw something a week or two ago about a curated Fenty makeup box coming. I thought it was boxycharm… but I could be wrong. Anyone remember it? Link? It was s post from my subscription addiction.

Mamas3loves

Its boxy premium so far its a fenty highlight in trophy wife and an eyeshadow palette thats been on clearance at sephora for months. New spoiler today hope its good.

Mamas3loves

I absolutely recommend premium I have had the others for 3 years And premium when it started a few months ago and premium is by far my favorite it is a completely separate subscription so completely separate products

Lexi

I have premium and the base box and they are different items between the boxes. No repeats in either box and I like the premium so far and I think it’s worth it!

Does anyone else think it’s strange that no spoilers at all have been shown for boxes including the becca foundation?

I never get an email about my choice and I contact customer service each time. I never hear anything back. The one time I did, they told me it was my fault for missing the choice window. I don’t even have an option in my account to make a choice on the day it’s open. The button isn’t valid for me. I never get an email either. I cancelled my subscription so that it doesn’t renew. They have the worst customer service I have ever seen!!!!

Reply ButtonReply

Karen

Log on to the site in the first week of the month , this month it’s the 11th actually. The info for when to make your choice is there.
I keep the page bookmarked so I just log in and it tells me what date the choices are and what day the add-ons and pop ups are.
So for premium and luxe and waitlisters it’s the 10th and for base box subs it’s the 11th for the March box.
It is I think too late for feb. The add-ons and pop ups are certainly closed.

I’ve never received an email either. That is poor customer service to just say oh well, you missed it.

Mamas3loves

They have not been doing emails for choice. I follow boxy preview on Instagram she makes sure that you do not miss anything. And always shows you the spoilers long before Boxy does. We always know the calendar of dates that we need to log in to our account to make our choice and for some very odd reason boxy does not put out that kind of information and does not remind people or keep them informed they expect you to search all over social media I guess. Boxy preview is also on Facebook and she is the only good one in my opinion.

Tracey

Did everyone get an email confirmation of their choice this month?

I chose the palette and I didn’t get a confirmation email at all (on or after the 18th when they said), which is kind of concerning me. The palette was the only thing I really wanted.

Reply ButtonReply

Karen

Does anyone know if this may be offered as an add on later?. I chose the foundation because I am light olive and it’s hard to find that shade. I am hoping driftwood will match me.
I didn’t really look at the palette until it was too late to add it on so I hope I can buy this for march.

MiMi

I received a confirmation email… I hope you get the item you want.

Reply ButtonReply

Mamas3loves

All I know is that’s not a good sign I hope you do get the item that you picked I also did not get a confirmation email and I know a lot of people were concerned about that and they emailed them and they said that they did not get their choice recorded and that their Box would be random and there was nothing they could do. Their computer systems are all messed up they need to get somebody that actually knows what they’re doing when it comes to this stuff to run their computer system.

I didn’t. I had contacted them about it and they did let me know they had my correct choice in their feedback. Hopefully goes same for you when you get your box.

I’m REALLY DISAPPOINTED in this months spoilers. I didn’t have high hopes when I noted they weren’t posting them on IG. This is all crap. Seriously. I don’t care about inflated MSRP you’re telling me that Premium isn’t given ALL of BC’s efforts. Spend ten dollars more, get a Fenty curated box. But for basic it’s tanning junk and a bunch of wipes? I don’t think so. This is lame.

Reply ButtonReply

Yvonne

wow Tanning drops seriously?!!! WTF I mean for those of us who are already tan naturally, we don’t want to tan even more especially with chemicals on our skin, the sun does enough damage on us already. This is a waste because I doubt the majority of charmers are goin to use this and just toss it……

Angela

Come on! I love my skin color (everyone should IMO) and don’t want to change it with chemicals and dyes :/

Laura

100%!!! You should’ve seen the responses that Boxycharm were posting on IG…They were trying to tell subscribers with very deep skin tones that the tanning drops will be great for evening out skin tone etc. Like…come on 🙄 this product is a huge miss for a LOT of subs and they’re handling the negative feedback really poorly.

This is kind of a meh box this month. I am hoping premium is much better! Has anyone seen a full unboxing for it?

Also… let’s get to March!!!! 😍

Jen

I feel the same way. I joined Boxycharm because they had better quality for the price. Now with their Luxe and premium box options, I feel like the base boxes are just getting meh items to encourage people to upgrade. I understand that is the point of business, but I cannot afford that at this time, but at the same time, I don’t want to be given items that are so-so to encourage people to upgrade.

Reply ButtonReply

Karen

I think the box is very good. A $44.00 foundation of a $62.00 eyeshadow palette? The QMS eye cream is £120.00 or about $160.00. I chose the foundation and purchased the eye cream for I think $12.00
I am amazed at the value.

Other sites are showing Ciate London Everyday Vay-cay coconut scented setting powder and a mascara and lip product.
This is the only site showing tanning drops to be honest.

Bonnie

I was honestly surprised. Regular Boxycharm offered the $60 Iconic London palette, but Premium offered the $29 Karity palette. Would have thought it would be the other way around.

Apricot

Wow. That’s potentially very disappointing. I too like my natural skin color and have zero desire or use for tanning drops. Tanning drops should either be a choice item or in the shop. A lot of people are going to be unhappy if they get that, myself included.

Reply ButtonReply

I received the QMS cream add on and I was very disappointed and quite surprised at the container/jar. It was so cheap flimsy and the lid is ill fitting. The bottom of the jar is rough to tough. I can’t imagine it’s the same container sold at high end spas all over Europe. Is the contents inferior too? Anyone else notice this?

Reply ButtonReply

Karen

On my… I love the cream. It is the size of any eye cream you get at the drug store. They are all small.
It is very very effective and I am an older woman.

Melanie

So, about this, I read on Reddit today that if BC over-promises items, they simply buy the rights from original company to just make their own version. That may very well be why some tops fit better, some colors blend better, etc. Quite an eye opener.

Reply ButtonReply

Tracey

Did you also read where holes were poked all over that “stepmother” story too?

ren

i also seen the video posted on youtube that was very disturbing , i canceled my sub products being filled in there lab in China is scary because we dont know what the true ingredients are…. Video called Storybook cosmetics exposes boxycharm , honestly that video was an eyeopener , no more subs for me ….

Alice

The lid seemed very snug and difficult to seat. I’m pretty confident he spa jars are better quality. The product is very nice, though. Quality of the contents is the key.

SquirrelyGirl

There is already a full base box spoiled on YouTube and it doesn’t include either of these. It has:

K.s. peptide serum
Alamar brushes
First aid beauty peel pads
Hemp wipes
Ciate coconut setting powder.

So, you could get 1 of these 2 products or a completely different box…

Tammy

Face wipes? Aw man that sucks for me. I have very sensitive skin and some of those aggravate my eczema so I only use what I know I can trust and those I get frankly for 3 bucks at Walmart! Like so many others, I’m just not feeling the tanning drops at all either. Guess it could be worse though —those damn SHEET masks (HATE) and recycled BLACK eyeliner (why I left IPSY for Boxy to begin with). Since I just re-subbed after some months, I’ve seen wildly different variations. I’m now very reticent about my decision. I only returned for the Iconic palette and a hope at the Hourglass blush (The first I understood would be in EVERY base which I know is not, and the 2nd is a variant/CHOICE/Premium item. I’m just not too thrilled by this month so I’ll probably cancel again. I’ve been pretty well pleased until now but the inclusion of face wipes? Boxy, Dont be IPSY!

I honestly wouldn’t mind the box you saw. At least I know I would use at least 3 of the items in it!

SquirrelyGirl

I’m hoping for the brushes. That would make the whole box for me.

Amanda

Hi I was thinking of re-subbing for Feb. Im liking a lot of the products, the hesitation I have is if I re-sub today will I get this box or some random “1st” box? I keep reading about “active” member, what about new member or re-sub? I like this box but I dont want to re-sub and get random old stuff. Does anyone know how that works for re-subscriptions?

Melissa

If there’s complexion items, they will just throw random products in. 2/5 products in my box last month we’re for a very dark complexion because I resubscribed, and their customer service told me oh well.

I know what you mean! If I really like a box I get two and in the beginning I had a lot of a different months of products. My coworker just subscribed and she is looking forward to February’s box.

Amanda

I’m still debating to resub. They are pretty tempting to me this month. Im wondering if boxy’s base box will feature Fenty next month or if its only the premium boxy.

Alice

Boxes vary. You’ll get a random box just like all subscribers, except you won’t have a choice item.

I just resubscribed and got the regular January box everyone else got. If you subscribe now you should receive the regular February box all members get.
I hope that helps

I still have all the fake tan stuff from last year wasting away, seemed like May through August it was in every box I get. Way too early to start again. None for this fair girl please.

Mamas3loves

That is so weird how that works because I have been with them for almost 3 years and I get every Box they have and I have 3 accounts between myself my mother and my daughter so we get a lot of boxes every month and I have never received tanning drops I will gladly trade with anybody that does not want them. I have tons of choices. Brand new

From the boxycharm Instagram, it says every subscriber will receive one or the other. But we will see.

Instagram just says “active charmers MAY receive one of these products”. I have seen an unboxing without either product, so a completely different box is entirely possible!

Could Be either, or, OR neither. Thats the BC way.

Oh PLEASE no tanning drops! Not everyone wants a tan. Some of us prefer the pale look.

The only think I really hope I do not get are the tanning drops since I am Black. However I have heard great things about those particular drops and they are sold at sephora for those who are looking for that type of thing.

I always see ads on youtube with the same girl and a box and she showed the palette, brushes and amika maybe the ciate powder mentioned above…I always skip it so not sure what else was in that variation but she always has good variations.

I got these in a Sephora Favorites box, and I love them! Apart from the usual “self-tanner” smell (which isn’t really strong after mixing with lotion, these worked so well, even without a mitt or anything

The hair cream looks good, but I do not want tanning drops! I am having mixed feelings about Boxy these days. My January box was the worst variation, and I have been on the waitlist for Premium for over a month, and did not get off this month, but have been hearing people say they got off the waitlist just days after signing up for it. And they do put some questionable products in our boxes. On the other hand, they have sent me some things I absolutely love. The Kate Somerville serum (got it as an add-on) is excellent, and I could see a difference using it for just a few days. I love the Dose of Color liquid lipstick they sent, the Elemis, the Becca powder, the BTS mascara, and many other things I have enjoyed and would not have tried otherwise. This month I am looking forward to trying the Becca foundation, and will be happy with either the brushes or the sponges. The rest of the box is looking pretty iffy, though.

Reply ButtonReply

Lori

What differences did you notice? TIA.

Reply ButtonReply

Mary

The skin going from the corners of my lips down my jaw started sagging about 10 years ago, and I’m always hoping to tighten that area up. Origins Powerful Lifting Cream helps somewhat, but the Kate Somerville serum made a much more noticeable difference. Some of the wrinkles actually disappear and others lessen in depth every time I apply the serum. It feels really good on my entire face, but I may just start using it on that area to make it last longer, because I can’t afford the retail price.

Christy

LOL tanning drops. I am South Indian living in Texas — I don’t need to tan anymore haha.

Julie

I bought the becca foundation as an add on and loving it! I picked a lighter color than I need because I was checking colors on sephora but works for Winter. Hoping to grab a shade darker in the boxy sale. So happy I canceled base this month… definitely do NOT need anymore tanning products. I’m plenty ok being my happy casper self, thank you!

I recently resubbed after some 3 or so months break and I missed out on the CHOICE window, but SO hoping to get the ICONIC palette and the HOURGLASS blush, as these are the only reason I returned. I tried emailing a request for one or the other and essentially got shot down which I didnt expect but nonetheless, not surprised. I had the same issue awhile back and the super nice CS that replied honored my request for the BECCA highlighter even after window op had closed. So I guess it’s hit or miss as to how they handle such. I did choose the STORYBOOK palette as the FREE gift item, so if anyone wants that and gets the ICONIC palette or the blush and wants to trade, hit me up.

The blush is in the premium box, not the base box, and was not a choice item.

On a different note….The storybook palettes that came with Boxycharm….says Made in PCR even on the brand website and can be seen on the palette too….

Rest of the palettes or other products from the brand says Made in USA….are these kind of differences common….

Reply ButtonReply

Soma

My concern is more on Transparency side….I know many company make products in PRC….and I have many which are made there….but then when a brand is advertised in a box…I ought to believe that they are products as would be sold in stores or can be bought from the brand’s website…and not a knock off….
That’s what concern’s me most….

Nicole

I love how when I make a comment of this nature it never shows up! Come on MSA! Anyone who’s interested in why this palette is made in PRC should go watch The Not So Evil Stepmother’s video from a couple days ago. Trust me, you’re all going to want to see this.

SquirrelyGirl

SO many cosmetics are made in PRC. Becca, It cosmetics, ABH, Tarte, Pixi, Morphe, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Elf, NYX (I could go on and on) all have cosmetics made in PRC.

And just FYI, the Boxy palettes are not the only ones that Storybook had made in PRC. I know of at least one other.

I saw a few full box reveals and ciate vacay powder, pur primer, a lip stain by queen?, and first aid beauty radiance wipes were some more spoilers.

Yes I saw those too. No mention of tanning drops. I never heard of such a product TBH.
