Just got mine in with only a few days left in the month, was really disappointed, I out on my survey anyway ago that I like mauve to nude lipstick, they keep giving my super red colors that I wont use or wear, I got the Becca blush also in like a really red shade (snapdragon). Do our surveys even count anymore? The brushes were a flop, since that’s all I keep getting, I have more brushes then product at this point, and I would rather use my Morphe brushes tbh. I do like the mascara and the honey potion, as well as the Lavido, but 3 out of 3 products were not what I would use or want so I definitely didnt get what I paid for. My normal boxy for the month was better then the premium. That’s kinda sad.

I just want to warn everyone to be cautious when trading. I arranged a trade on here and got a palette today WITH FINGERPRINTS in it. IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC.
It’s my fault, I guess, for not asking if they used it, because I assumed people would be decent. 🤦♀️

So I only received 5 items and did not receive the item of choice that I did within the first 30 minutes choice was open for BoxyLuxe members. I emailed them and hoping they fix the situation.
Anyone else ever not get what they chose?

Just checked my email and I’m off the waitlist for the premium box and it says I’ve been billed. This means I should be receiving April’s box right??
Reply
AH
I’ have also been charged for the premium box in the middle of the month, I canceled so I wouldn’t get the April box and then put myself back on the waitlist for May. I never dreamt that they would charge me half way through the month so I could get a April box.
Also I didn’t receive my choice item for my bsse bios. So I am taking screenshots of every time I chose I product. What’s the point in choice if they don’t honor it. It’s worse than just not knowing what you’ll get imo. I only kept my base box for the Elemis choice I made. Smh

I got 4 base boxes , picked the serum on choice day, and got the damn cleanser in ALL 4!!!🤨🤔😡
Thankfully I took a ss of what I chose, bc SADLYthis has happened wayyy too many times to count! Including just about every boxy luxe’s I get on TOP of all the base boxes!
The one time the my responded saying they were going to send me the product I was supposed to receive, and something extra for my troubles…they didn’t even send them out! So that’s another thing that’s happened on more than one occasion! & Empty promises are seriously the WORST to me! Like don’t respond like you usually don’t, be lie about sending products out I’m constantly checking the mail for and looking forward to! (And this was MONTHS back…literally last YEAR!, so I *KNOW* nothing’s coming at this damn point)🙄🤨🤔
I don’t know why I keep throwing a couple hundred dollars at boxy, & I mean MONTHLY!😳😬🤦🏻♀️
I used to do that same crap w/Ipsy (also several allures, until I took a extended break starting Jan…) *until* Ipsy went wayyyy downhill. And I was w/Ipsy for like 6+ YEARS!
Basically only keep the couple ipsys I have left (when I don’t skip the month) *JUST* for add-on access!
And now Ipsy is getting even worse, when you didn’t think they could be. & just gonna be doing CHEAPY freakin’ fabric POUCHES, rather what the actual product/company is based around…a GLAM BAG! NOT a Glam POUCH🙄🤔🤦🏻♀️😑 like are you KIDDING me?!?
I finally got my Premium today and I’m super disappointed. I will not use a single item.
Anybody wants to trade? I’d love to get the Farmacy. My email is my handle at gmail.
I got:
Barbie Palette
Stila glitter
Opulent Beauty brushes
Lavido
Wander mascara
Nudestix lip

I liked this box a lot except shockingly the Farmacy mask made my face sting something awful. (And this rarely happens to me!) But that’s why it’s good to try these products this way sometimes I guess!

I don’t mind the Smashbox palette, other than the fact I already own it. The face cream isn’t super helpful for my skin type, but I hear it’s overall not a bad item. I’m super pale and got the darkest Becca blush I’ve ever seen and a super bright neon pink Juice lippie. I wouldn’t have picked blush if I knew ND blushes would be in the box, but that’s life. I already had the other products offered at choice. Those awful brushes barely pick up product and are clearly an over inflated filler item, along with the 15th Wander mascara I’ve gotten (been subscribed to multiple boxes for a while and Wander is DEFINITELY not a “Premium” brand). I switched to Premium based on the claims that it would be amazing brands, but next month there’s an Hourglass choice in base, lol. Oh the absolute irony…

In my box this month i received:
-Smashbox palette (Wanted Life’s a Drag palette or Farmacy mask)
-Becca Luminous blush
-Wander Beauty Mascara
-Lavido Cream
-Fresh Beauty Lipstick
-Opulent brushes (I am appalled…)
This was a very disappointing box for me, and my second month as a premium member. I think it is interesting how people are complaining this is a skincare heavy box, when I am listed as “all skincare, no makeup”, and seemed to have only received makeup. The Opulent brushes are AWFUL, and probably the worst item I have received in boxycharm to date. If anybody is willing to trade the Smashbox palette for Farmacy mask, or Life’s a Drag Palette, Please contact me! Hopefully next month is better 🙁

Bought the new Natasha Denona retro mini plus her new Blush to accompany her new release, so okay to have not received the ND blush. I already have that, too. I really liked my box this month. No eyeshadow palette! Yay! My box included:
Farmacy Honey Potion Renewal mask
Peach & Lily toner
Lavido Age Away replenishing cream
IGK Hair Good Behavior spray
Nudestix Magnetic lip paints in Waikiki Rose
Wander Beauty mascara

I am so disappointed, I found a picture of what I thought I was getting (2.1 lbs and Cover FX primer for choice) and I was NOT RIGHT. 🙁 I got the primer, Life’s a Drag palette (instead of Farmacy), Mile High mascara, brushes & the Lavido (instead of the ND blush), and Juice Beauty lipstick (instead of Too Faced). Why does Boxycharm have the ability to disappoint me so??? It doesn’t help that I opened it next to my husband who pointedly asked how much I (we) paid for a box that makes me want to cry. Respond if you want to trade, please.

I totally understand. I am so disappointed in my box. I got everything I did not want. I wonder who are the people who get all the good stuff. I do not own anything “Natasha Denona” because it is so pricey but would like to and I have NEVER gotten anything Natasha Denona when it was a possibility. I so wanted that blush. I wanted one of the eyeshadow palettes and didn’t get that either and I got those pitiful brushes. I have been a subscriber since the beginning. Does loyalty not count for something?

Omg, I know EXACTLY what you mean. There was only 1 item in each category that I realllllly didn’t want/ can’t use and somehow I got EVERY SINGLE ONE, even though they are all face creams. WTH. Not even one thing I can use. I’m so upset. I’m sorry. 🤗😩

I got
Igk good behavior spray
Lavido cream

I was hoping for the Natasha denona blush And the farmacy mask but I’m assuming most Didn’t get those items
It’s okay – I’ll give premium 1 more month before I decide to cancel it. I didn’t like the fenty got the black lipstick and purple highlighter ugh.

Give. Me. All. The. Mile high mascara. I am a huge BTS fan, but this stuff is even more amazing for daily wear. It gives me the same length but not as thick and spider leg looking. If anyone does not want it, I will be happy to take it off your hands and actually use it. Karpadm76 at the google place.

Yes, please! I wanted that mask or the Barbie palette and got Smashbox. And pretty much every other item I didn’t want and one I didn’t even know was possible (dry oil spray I already bought at one of their sales.) Try byootboxn at the G place for messages. Happy to switch.

I really liked all three eyeshadow palettes this month and I get two boxes. I was hoping to not get the same palette in both boxes and I ended up not getting a palette in either box. Also didn’t get the item I picked for choice either kinda disappointed this time around.

I’m a chick who is normally fine with the roll of the dice that happens with subscription boxes. My preference err on the side of skin care which is why I’m surprised that I didn’t get the Farmacy item. Still, happy with my box. Although the manny palette is gorgeous, may end up swapping that with someone. Will sleep on it for sure.
Here’s my box:
1. Life’s a Drag
2. Lavido Age Away Cream
3. Brushes
4. Wander mascara
5. Peach and Lily Toner
6. Too Faced Lip Gloss (Hidden Talents)

Sorry to hear you’re as unhappy as I am with this box. I actually wanted the Barbie palette but mainly for nostalgic reasons plus I liked the lid. Instead I got Smashbox. I got the Lavido when I REALLY wanted the ND blush since I didn’t get the ND blush/face palette last time either but of course not. I got the Smoothing Spray which will definitely help my super straight and thinning hair look flatter and greasier. Yay! The beach oil spray I already received in the past and the Nudestix lip paint in an orangey color I absolutely can’t wear. Every Premium box of 2020 has been awful and I have finally had enough. I knew when they started increasing the number of variants I’d end up getting the worst ones. Now I’m definitely getting rid of Premium and maybe even Boxy altogether. My base box was horrible this month too and I just can’t deal with feeling like I wasted $60, especially right now.

I am pretty happy with my box. Will use now or stash for later all of the items I received 🙂

My box came today, I got:
Stila liquid eyeshadow (my choice)
Farmacy honey potion
Lavido cream (probably would have preferred the blush but I’m still excited to try it)
Wander mascara
Brushes (these feel really cheap and I probably won’t use them)
Nudestix lip (I wouldn’t buy this myself, but the color is surprisingly wearable)
Overall pretty satisfied. There are a couple products I would have liked that I didn’t get, but aside from the brushes I’m not unhappy with anything that was in my bag

How do you know what variation you received? There was no card inside of my box to show me what I should have received.
I was not impressed with this box at all. The colours of stuff received are ones that I can’t use.

Some people got an electronic card instead of printed. The link was in the shipping email.

I got the same box. The Becca and Smashbox are beautiful shades. At first I wanted the ND blush but with so many different variations I’m glad I got a shade of the Becca that either I can use or my daughter can. I was hoping for either The Farmacy and/or Smashbox so I’m happy with the Smashbox. I’m also glad I received a nice wearable shade of Juice Beauty. I love Lavido lotions so I’m willing to try the face cream. Overall I like my box.
