BoxyCharm Premium June 2020 Spoilers Round #3!

Supposedly yes!

According to all the videos/posts ive watched, yes.

So last month I upgraded to premium and then I got an email from Boxycharm for $25 to spend on pop up bc my box was $25 short of their promised worth of the box. I got my big box and it had the milk lip and cheek, it had the essentials pallette from a couple months ago, and had an eyeliner in the box. THATS it. I was so mad that I felt like I wasted $35 of my own money for this box with like 3 items in it. I can’t remember exactly if it was the milk or something else, but it was so bad 8 almost cancelled. I figured I’d id give it one more try before cancelling. I ended up ordering $25 worth from pop up but even still it was ridiculous to have to do that in the first place.

My comment was meant as a reply to the suggestion of Petit Vour and Kinder Beauty, two great boxes. I don’t know why it relocated itself!

I live in the Long Island suburbs (mostly middle class).. sometimes I get good ones, and lately I’ve had the lamest boxes ever! I’ve been giving away most of the items for the past 3 months..

Good question. I live in a middle class suburb, so I don’t know. I’m happy with my variation 9 times out of 10, but sometimes I get a dud.

No, I think it’s just random.

I live in a very rural area and generally get great variations minus last month. I think its luck of the draw.

Josef says a lot of things then after billing it changes. Everywhere the avocado mask is listed as “you MAY receive” while the TF palette says “you WILL receive” (not just here but other places) so I wouldn’t count on everyone getting the avocado mask. Boxy is famous for bait n switch

Everyone is getting the avacado sleeping mask & the too faced contour palette Joe said but only for current subscribers not waitlisters.

My premium has shipped and says 2.8 lbs. Not sure what to expect. 😬

Mine was 1.3 and it’s because the milk item, the mascara, the lip balm, pretty much everything in the box is super light…. unless to got the TF eye palette most were hoping for. Then it was 1.7-1.8.

My box is also 1.2 lbs. Might i ask if you received the $25 for the box not being worth $175?

I don’t get the email either.

They don’t send email reminders any more. You have to watch social media or the site to find out the dates

HI! I’ve run into this issue in the past but found if I type the Boxycharm website in my url then add a backslash and the word “choice” at the end, it redirects me to the choice page on choice day. Hope this helps if you find yourself in that situation again in the future.

Really, it’s because they don’t have enough sense to white balance their videos or quick pics. the promo pic from too faced *should* be corrected if their photographer is worth their salt, but keep in mind unless you are working with a color corrected monitor what you see on a screen can be wildly off.

Same but because of an avocado allergy. Avocado is in so many beauty products these days too, which makes me so sad. I’ve had so many things I’ve been excited for and then look in the ingredients and find out there’s avocado oil. 😔

I feel your pain! I’m allergic to almonds. I swear, everything has almonds in them these days. Allergies….what a pain, right? LOL

I think it depends on what your first choice is bc I chose the mascara and that was a choice item for me but I chose the silk pillowcase and sleeping mask

Sorry you didn’t get what you wanted. Did you get to choose this time? We got to choose 2 items this time. I chose the Tula eye balm and the Sip by Swell was one of the items I could choose from for my second item. I’ve noticed what is picked on the first choice can change the items that can be chosen on the second choice. If you did do choice this time whatever you picked first might’ve took the Swell bottle off your second choice options. Maybe you can find someone to swap with or go on a site like Mercari and get it pretty cheap. I’ve purchased cheaply several items I wanted but didn’t receive on there.

I was able to to choose the swell bottle

I think the colors that were flashing on that particular choice box (the pic of a KVD lipstick) were probably the ones they’re sending. That’s why I didn’t pick this lipstick that happens to be one of my most favorite. There was a very pale beige, one or two dark purples, a dark brown and some other uncommon/unpopular shade. But hopefully I’m wrong and they were just showing random shades. I was just too worried to risk it since the Nars lip choice flashed 3 different colors and it said it would be “one of three shades.” But you never know what Boxy will end up doing until you actually receive your box. I got my base box today and it contained two lip glosses. Yep…out of five products two were the same type. I’ve been a subscriber for 5+ years and that’s never happened. They sent what most people would probably consider decent shades in both but unfortunately I myself can’t wear either of them. I also got a concealer pencil that I could’ve sworn they sent to me before but maybe it was Ipsy. It’s a good thing I got the product I picked and that they picked the Tarte micellar water for me or the whole box would’ve been a waste. If I’m not super impressed with my base or Premium box in June I am for sure taking an indefinite break from Boxy altogether. If they end up by some major miracle sending me that Polar Bear? palette everyone wants they’ll have my devotion for the rest of the year. But I always get the absolute worst one when they send multiple palettes so I am not getting my hopes up.

I feel the same way. But occasionally I get surprised. The Fenty box I recieved had a super dark matte lip color in it. I thought, no way I can ever wear this. One, I dont do matte. Two, I dont do almost black browns on my lips. But one day, I decided to play with it. I did the outer lip line area with it and used some nude gloss and now I use it all the time. I’ve found blending those weird colors with more neutral shades can really work sometimes, kinda an ombre lip look. So I dont get so upset anymore when I get a weird shade. Unless its Barbie pink. I cant work with that.

I hope everyone does; however, I don’t trust anything he says.

Joe confirmed that everyone will get both.

I’m subscribed to all boxy, plus ipsy reg and plus bag, fragrant jewels and fabfit, i always received all my boxes in the 1st week or 2 of every month and now I don’t receive them till the end since Covid starting :'(

Well I received my boxy premium Wednesday but I received email of base box shipping like at 1:00 am, checked it and it said shipping info was sent to fedex. Checked it later today and it shows it will be delivered tomorrow. And it had been shipped out like on the 10th. So it seems once you get shipping through email it comes like 2 days later, but I actuality it shipped out sooner than that.

I just got a shipping notice for one today, recieved one yesterday and am waiting for one to ship. It’s been slower for me since this all started, especially with the shipping carriers. DHL had my add ons for like 3 weeks after boxy sent them and before the arrived.

Yes, they can!

I would hope so because everything else is repeat items including the NARS, Milk tint just got for May! KVD hideous colors, Lashaholic repeat too! Everyone better get the Glow mask and the Too faced palette! Why so many repeats. Plus I didn’t know we could choose 2 items per box I don’t think it said that during Choice!

I agree. I try to stick to only cruelty free brands but it can get complicated with constant changes with some of them especially when they’re bought out by companies that do test on animals. Just when I think a company is safe because they have been for many years or because I recently looked them up I find out they’re no longer cruelty free. Tarte is the perfect example. I knew they’d always been cruelty free and didn’t even know they had a parent company now. I want to only buy from completely cruelty free brands including parent companies but at this point I have to just focus on the individual company and try to improve from there.

I know I need to let both Boxycharm and Ipsy go because of this issue but I also have a very limited beauty budget and it’s just so easy to justify the value of these subscriptions. After many months of terrible Premium boxes with maybe one or two usable/appropriate products for me I was definitely going to unsubscribe. But since the sleeping mask is guaranteed I will give it one more month. I’m not worried about the contour palette because I don’t contour and I rarely highlight. I already have 2-3 brand new contour palettes and at least a few dozen highlighters from other boxes. Plus that palette isn’t rated that well on Sephora.

Over the past few months Premium has been awful for me but for a while my base box was better than it had been in ages. Unfortunately that was over quickly starting with April and continuing this month. The Bombay & Cedar Beauty Box is looking pretty good from that recent review I read. And there are a few other boxes that are completely cruelty free and cleaner so I really have no excuse to keep giving my money to a company that definitely doesn’t share my values or appreciate my business. Breaking up is so hard to do…

Perfect gift to hide away for Christmas! ☺️
