BoxyCharm May 2020 Choice Time – Early Access!

I read that and all I can think is ‘Oh! BC just wanted a chance to throw a bunch of dry liners, neon glosses into a *mystery* box’ 😂😂😂

I believe it was October or November.

Did you try to make choice on Monday or Tuesday? If Tuesday, then the reason it was grayed out was because the luxe and premium members were able to make their choice on Monday and they had long since grayed out the highlighter by the time Tuesday came around. Which I am gonna guess it was Tuesday for you since at 9:30ish pacific standard time on Monday, it had still been available when I made my choice.
TBH, even though I am a premium subber and can have the early access perk, I do NOT like this new change of boxycharm giving luxe and premium earlier choice for base box. The base box only subbers are losing out on the most popular choice items and if they want to have a chance at it, they have to not choose one and hopes that it still ends up in their box by letting boxycharm choose for them (btw, it is confirmed that people are getting grayed out items in their box that didn’t get to make a choice, so just don’t choose when that happens unless you don’t want to risk getting the lousiest item). It’s really not fair to the majority.

They should’ve reserved an equal amount available for each tier for people to choose from (e.g. if they only had 999 highlighters, assign 333 for each tier and let ppl pick normally)

I agree. I was there not long after choice and that’s what I wanted and wasnt able to choose it. Havent been thrilled with luxe, or boxes the past few months. I’ve been worth boxy for 5/6 years, no skipping and every tier but I’m thinking it might be time to scale it back.
I think Boxy has gotten so big and is going on a direction most people dont care for.(I wish they would save the lifestyle items and such for add ons or pop ups).
It was nice when it was all makeup, then they threw in skincare and told everyone that we MIGHT get ONE skincare item a month and the rest makeup and they were not going to change much and BAM a complete 180. There are skincare subs out here , many of them. There are mixed of skincare/haircare and then mixed of everything. The beauty of boxy was it was the only with with all makeup. But I get there are only so much makeup you can send before you have people screaming about too many eyeshadow pallettes, too much eyeliner etc so they branched out. Now it’s kinda turned into a fab fit fun box, which people could just sign up for if that’s what they were looking for.
Just my .02 . I hope everyone is staying healthy, safe and staying sane…..seems like things will hope start getting back to “normal” soon.

Yesterday, early afternoon was already gone .
I should have logged in the early morning…

Yes. Premium opens this Thursday, the 16th! 🙂

Yes. I was hoping they’d restock the add-ons but they didn’t. Choice is open but you can’t pick the Hourglass highlighter. I thought they’d restock the choices as well but I was wrong.

I have a too faced highlighter- sealed, that I’m trying to sell.

That’s what I wanted too. The only thing in fact. I thought maybe they’d restock for today (they were gone minutes after early choice yesterday) but nope. I feel a little better after reading your comment though. I hadn’t thought about that. Fingers crossed for us both on the 16th (or whatever day it is.)

What time does access usually open?

Me neither….

Treat your hands like you would your face & layer product! I’m prone to dry hands, & when they get really bad, I use a hydrating serum & then a heavier lotion/handcream before I go to sleep at night.

The same thing happened to me. I didn’t get the Elemis product I chose. I sent them screenshots of my choice and of the items I received. They said there was nothing they could do.

I read your comment and realized that I never checked to see if I receive my choice conformation email last month. I unfortunately didn’t receive one. I chose the Zoeva pallete. I have my fingers crossed that I’ll still receive it in my box. I was excited for it until I just realized that I didn’t get conformation. This is the first one I haven’t received.

I bought the Elemis hydration juice as an add-on, so I suppose it wouldn’t be bad to receive it again, or the matching cleanser. Just don’t want the highlighter drops lol.

I too did not receive my April Choice. I chose the Elemis hydration juice and received the foam instead. I emailed them but have not heard back yet. However, I didn’t take a screen shot and don’t have my email confirmation so it sounds like I may be out of luck based on others experience. Sigh…. However, this month I did take a picture of my choice for May (great idea!) so I can show proof if they get it wrong again.

The same thing happened to me. I was very disappointed because I chose the Elemis Hydration Juice and I’m getting the palette. I even ordered the cleanser as an add-on to go with. I don’t know why they ask what you want and send something completely different. I never got a confirmation email for my April choice.

I ALWAYS take screenshots of EVERYTHING having to do with BC or their customer service. Right down to their CS reps comments on Instagram. Their customer service is the worst, and they’ll try to avoid doing ‘the right thing’ if they can.

I had pop up orders not ship after being charged three times and I had to fight them on it (with said screenshots) every time.

I’m not trying to come across as too paranoid here, but everyone should REALLY be taking screenshots of EVERYTHING HAVING TO DO WITH BOXYCHARM!

Same exact thing happened to me. I didn’t get my April choice and I too took screenshots today. I took a screenshot last time and even sent to them but I still have yet to receive a response. I wish u luck too!

You are very smart! I chose the Elemis face wash for April and didn’t receive it. I emailed them and they asked me for the confirmation email, which of course I deleted when I received my shipping notice. Customer service told me I never chose anything and I had no proof, so they said they could do nothing for me. In the four years I have been a subscriber, I never had an issue with them until this month. I had subscribed to the base box, luxe and premium. I ended up canceling all three. The value isn’t there anymore and there seems to be a lot of bait and switch. I will save the money and get something I really want or even donate to charity. A food bank could use a donation now!

I think it will open around the same time. If the highlighter is what you wanted most, just pick the let them choose for you option and you still might end up with it. But only do that if you don’t care about which you get between glamglow and elemis. But, there is a chance they will throw it into your box even if it is grayed out for choice. People in april box were getting grayed out choice items when they didn’t make a choice. Just pray to your luck gods to be on your side!

Yes, if you are quick you can get it tomorrow

One thing you could have done (for future reference) is do the let them pick for you option if the choice you wanted is grayed out. Some people in April were getting items that were grayed out in the choice, despite not making a choice. So there is a small chance you could still get the highlighter. Also could leave it up to fate and change your choice to it right now if you wanted to.

Oops, I didn’t notice that was a highlighter.. I thought it was nude lippies rofl! Oh well, I don’t really like highlighters anyways, especially stick versions.

I love glamglow, so even though I have plenty of masks, I picked it. My April box was awful too. I got the sponges, the brushes, and the eraser and a color story I didn’t like for the palette I received. I’m still hoping them do better in May then this month has been. Hopefully there is more make-up this go. I would have picked a lippie, but the colors on me would look like concealer lips xD

It’s open again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same for me – and sounds like same for a lot of others. Hopefully it comes back up soon!

I had it in my cart ready to check out then the power went out! By the time I got on my phone and pulled it up it was sold out! Dang Wind!

IF you go to their website and log in the choice option should be in the banner on the top right of the page.
