Lisa Rogers

I just got the literal worst box in the history of sub boxes.

Like one of the items I got in it was literally so bad it isn’t even shown in the options (a CROWN eyeshadow palette). Then another low end palette…

Then a fragrance I am allergic to and a nail polish (I never paint my nails) from them not looking at the customization quizzes at all.

I got my hourglass choice item (woohoo another highlighter – it was from a nice brand but yah…)… but the rest of it went straight into the donation pile and I went to cancel my Boxy…

I just have never gotten a box like this… the only 2 items I feel are good enough to give away are the highlighter and nailpolish. They aren’t for me but are nice enough products.

The three others are either going to be donated or the trash, I haven’t decided yet if they are actual junk or someone might like them.

2 low end palettes, 2 items that are rated as low or never on my customization… and then my choice item…

Out of so many things I would have loved to try like the pretty vulgar primer or blinc mascara or haus labs liner (still another black liner but at least its usable or giftable). Hell I would have even been grateful for the lipscrub or lashes

Danialle Ange

I was so sad I literally got everything I didn’t want the past 2 months I wanted the lifes a drag pallet I got NO pallet at all just junk then this month I wanted that highlighter stick and of course nope just so sad I wanted them so badly. It just sucks I pay for something and don’t get to enjoy it.

Erika

If I subscribe today, May 3rd, will I recieved the May box or the June one?
I got a bit burned by Ipsy Plus when I subscribed yesterday thinking I could still get the May bag, but I just pre-ordered the June one.

Maggie

You would get the May bag.

Mariam

I wanted to use INTENSITY coupon, but its valid.
Can somebody help me?

Brittney Stevens

I love baby-poo colored lipstick. Haha!

Ivonne

It’s a concealer stick not lipstick! Lmao

Maggie

I didn’t pick it thinking it was lipstick, I hadn’t read the description and thought it was another nude xD though tbh, I would still pick glamglow, I love their stuff even if I usually prefer make-up heavy boxes. I dunno, not a highlighter fan. It just makes your cheek pores pop like no ones business.

I’m over Boxy. The last four boxes or so have been underwhelming for me. I’m tired of the garish orange and red eyeshadows and vampire lipsticks. Id rather take my money and buy one product I’m excited about.
If Luxe doesn’t impress me in June, I’m done!

Karen

You must have loved the Zoeva palettes last month then. Nice and neutral. Brown’s and creams and taupes and gray. I gave that one to a friend because I have a dozen with those colors.
but even the red palettes have neutral colors in them. I
I joined in February and last month was a bit of a letdown but all in all I’m happy with them.
My may box was a great surprise because spoilers have not been impressive but I got a bunch of stuff I love. Including a Violet Voss eyeshadow with beautiful colors.

Sherry

I’m with ya. I hadn’t subscribed for months because the boxes just looked ridiculous. Then resubscribed because the April box looked like it might have some good things and they offered some good resubscriber coupons. But I just got the dumb $6 toward add-on items when I finally decided to go for it. I just got the April box today and it was crap. I liked two items, the Benifit primer and the palette. Which everyone was going to get.

I also got those cheap $3 mask sheets, the Iconic illuminator (which most every seemed to get, but I hate highlighting, sparkling products) and those Illuminati gel pens. The gel pens are good quality, I tried them on my hand and they went on smooth and bright. I guess that was my “pricey” item. Thanks a lot. They might be expensive, but what am I going to do with impractical clown colors?

Maggie

Ironically, I wanted the illuminati gel pens or the iconic and didn’t get them. I got the sponges, the eraser, and the brushes. Go figure. I would have been happy to just get the gel pens in replacement of one of the tool items I got, just for some actual make-up in the box. I mean I did get the palette… in a color combo I heavily dislike. Oh wells… you win some, you lose some. It’s just sad I feel like I have only won once this year so far and only half the box that time at that.

Tiffany Pree

Thinking about getting a new box. I have too much make up, thinking of trying something completely different outside Boxy or Ipsy again.

Might try that Margot Elena Discovery Box. Seems like a fun switch up. Idk trying to decide.

Jamey

Is there any more spoilers or info?? By now we usually have the whole box and maybe even a spoiler for lux next month….

Maggie

Glamwithsusan mentioned something about a jouer lip gloss. Not sure which box that was supposed to be for though.

Obsessed With Beauty

Right?? I have been checking daily and nothing… I’m ready to see what luxe has to offer in June. I need to know if I’m going to cancel or not lol

ANGEL

I’m really getting sick of the fact that last month I didnt get to pick my choice for regular box then this month I didnt get my choice for my premium box… then to add fuel to the fire when I try to hurry to do choice the choice I want is always already gone and then I got to pick something I didnt really want which sucks… they need to have more so we actually feel like we get to pick something we want. I wanted that hourglass stick highlighter so bad. ): last month there was something I really wanted I didnt get because I’m always getting screwed sadly.

Alice

I’m considering letting this box go. $300+ per year is a lot of cash for iffy variations…hmmm…

HVanity

Has anyone gotten the coupon code for new member gifts to work? I tried “REVITALIZE” and it says it’s not valid. @Liz Cadman – any ideas?

Kate of Spades

I think they’ve changed their new member gift to “mystery box”. At least it is the only thing I found on their website

Paola

The code “Intensity” also worked for me but it says that I will be getting a March box? Even though I just resubscribed this month.

Lexi

The “INTENSITY” code worked for me. I haven’t received my box yet, but the shipping confirmation email shows it’s in my box. Have you tried contacting CS?

Jamey

Are there anymore spoilers for any tiers?? Even lux next month??

Maggie

I have been looking for them and haven’t seen any. Usually we would get round 3 by now, wouldn’t we?

Lindsay

It seems like Boxy has been stingy with spoilers for the last couple of months. I’ve been having to dig on YouTube for them. I’m not sure what’s up?

Maggie

I just noticed that the too faced diamond light highlighters are on sale for 50% off. They are $18 ea atm (though I don’t know about shipping) in case someone was really wanting one still and couldn’t get one for the $12 during add ons.

Anne

Anyone else not getting choice confirmation emails?

Trista

Nothing the last few months..I have had Boxy for a couple of years and honestly, I was embarrassed last month that I had recommended it to MORE friends. That was awful. I understand why it was late, and thats fine, but why do I need a face scrubber (to use with water) and then a face wash? And for the love of god stop sending me bottles of gold liquid. You have my age…

And no more red/hot pink lip stuff. Or orange eyeshadow.

Ana

I didn’t get it either… I’m thinking about cancelling I just have FOMO!!

Sarah

Boxy CS says they sent them for the Base box on April 22 – I did not get mine and emailed them and they said they “could not locate my choice” and they apologize. I would contact them if you still haven’t received it. I think I am going to just cancel since I can’t be guarenteed what I want and we are paying to have that customization.

IndyGrr

It doesn’t seem to matter. Their confirmation means nothing. I didn’t get my choice twice and they didn’t make it right. First time they told me too bad and the second time they gave me “charms”…which are so USELESS. I gave them money for the opportunity to chose a product. Both times I would have cancelled but for the choice item. BoxyCharm is so shady!

Page

They did the same to me.
They sent me an eyeshadow palette instead of the Elemis Hydrating Juice. I never choose makeup as an option. It’s skincare every month so to tell me I did something knowing it’s not true really gets me angry. Of course they didn’t send me a confirmation email so I had no proof. This month I took a screen grab of my choice and I didn’t get a confirmation email again this month. At least with Ipsy you can see what you chose and they don’t switch things like Boxycharm.
They finally gave me $54 in charms to use on things I would never pick. Why not give us a coupon to use in the Pop Up sale to at least get an item comparable to our choice?

Anne

I didn’t receive the choice confirmation email for April and didn’t receive the choice item i selected. After multiple emails to them they gave me ‘charms’. They had asked me to send them a screenshot of the confirmation (WHAT?!), so I guess each month going forward I will be taking a screenshot. I still haven’t received confirmation for May choice either. They told me the confirmations would become available this week through today. So frustrating!

Lindsay

l just got my choice confirmation this afternoon…4-22-20.

Maggie

You won’t, they don’t send them anymore. They have it listed on the home page of their website for which days they do choice however. You will just have to go there and check and mark your calendar.

Lexi

They still send them. I get an email when choice is up and also get an email confirming my choice. I just got an email today, 04-23 that my choice item will be in my May box.

Amy

I cant believe all the hourglass is gone. I only got to choose from skincare? And I got 2 skincare items last month… this month I didn’t even get what I chose! I got the other item! Which was guess what more skincare ugghh. Its aggravating

Nancy

Exactly. It makes me want to cancel.

Maggie

Unless you had premium or luxe subbed, you wouldn’t have even gotten a smidgen of a chance for the highlighter. Choice was open a day earlier for luxe and premium subbers and the highlighter was gone in a couple hours if that. Next time you can’t pick the one you want and you don’t care about the other two items, just pick the choose for me option. If you are lucky, you would have still gotten the highlighter. Not sure why, but it’s like they secretly keep extra in stock somewhere and randomly throw the ‘sold out’ items in the choose for me peoples boxes.

Lcbourgeois

So excited for Hourglass. One of the Allure 2019 Beauty Winner’s I was interested in trying. Checked them out in Sephora pre-covid19 and they were all beautiful!!!

Lesly

Early Choice is up and it’s between these 3 items!

Thanks for the heads up! They are out of the Hourglass Vanish™ Flash Highlighting Stick already. Sigh.

Yessy

Ok, I am excited and hoping they don’t throw no travel sizes because the value wouldn’t be there. Still… I am excited for this box.

Yolanda

Wow, even if it is a highlighter, I’d still pick the Hourglass!!!!! Please let it be a choice or for everyone!!! It’s beautiful lol I want it. 😝.

Kristina

Very interested in what the haus laboratories item will be. When Lady Gaga first launched her line, I purchased an eye shadow and a lip gloss. Loved them both!

Jamey

I’ve heard her line is over with now.

Michelle

Over how? They just came out with new matte lip crayons?

Amy

Please please let hourglass be in choice items

Moni

Lookin like an amazing month🙃

Olivia

I do not like the Hourglass stuck foundation. I seen people race about it and finally gave in and bought it. I have dry skin and this made my face so dry. Even with moisturizer and a dewy primer. I gave it to a friend who has oily skin and she loved it. So we will have to see I can always sell it or give it away. Other spoilers look great. Boxy has been slacking lately so here is to praying the boxes are going to get better.
April boxes confused me their base boxes I was watching a bunch of YouTube videos the total dollars for products varied from a total of $128 or $175 total. I think all the boxes should be equal. It’s not fair for the ones who get $175 worth of products and the others get $128 that’s almost a $50 difference and it’s bit fair. Just my opinion

Stacy

I agree! The differences in variations was what made me cancel base and luxe last month. I ALWAYS got the crappier variations and it was infuriating. I still have Premium but it’s on the chopping block

Mik

It’s a highlighter, not a stick foundation.
