Boxy Charm

Jordan2 — Mon, 17 Jun 2019 21:57:12 GMT

I have subscribed in the past to Ipsy, Allure, Macys, and Sephora Play boxes. I have cancelled all of them. I was thinking about maybe subscribing to Boxy Charm which is $21 a month (there is an upgrade which is more money and I think there is a waitlist). I was wondering if anyone gets this box, what do you think, and is it worth the $21?

No opinions on this?

Kylie Jenner just did an InstaStory on a Boxy Charm box

which was sent to her by the company. I’m sure subscriptions

will be backlogged due to this exposure. She showed everything.

Don’t know if it was the ‘normal’ box or special Kylie box.

Looks like a good deal if you like makeup & stuff.

@Jordan2 I have had this subscription in the past and IMO Boxycharm was the best one I’ve subbed to. I did Ipsy for a short time but just got bored with it. Boxycharm can be hit or miss at times, but I think that happens to all of them. At least Boxycharm has full size items. That’s one reason I never did the Sephora box because it was basically giving the point perks people can get. Try it and if you don’t like it after a couple months, then you can cancel. HTH

I love my Boxycharm and my Boxycharm Luxe. The Luxe comes every 3 months instead of the regular 21.00 box and you pay 49.00 that month. This months Luxe box was great and full of full sized products and a blow dryer. The value was over 300.00. My items this month were a Tarte eye shadow palette, Dr. Brandt Biotic Cleanser, Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Mist, Living Proof Thickening Cream, Farmacy Beauty Honeymoon Glow, PYT Mini Turbo hairdryer, Dominque Lemonade Lip GLoss, Touch in Sol No POREblem and Trestique Good Vibes Mascara that has a built-in eyelash curler on the one end. All full-size products. Usually just one or two of the products are worth the price of the box.

That is a really good box!

That’s the exact same box that was sent to Kylie.

Remember seeing the hairdryer & Living Proof bottle.

Can't remember if I have tried Boxy or not--but have tried them all and now am in love with BeautyFix by Dermstore---$25 every month--has really great things and usually at least, 1 full sized product that is around $75. And I actually use up many of the items. I love with Cauldelie grape water spray!!!--that was full sized along with a few others that month. Not the tiny samples sizes either. Look forward to each one.

@Jordan2 , I think BoxyCharm is well worth the money. They advertise it as 4-5 full size products each month and I've always had at least 5 which is nice because once in while there is one I'm not too thrilled with--like a wooden eyeliner or lip pencil. I'll list what's been in each month's box for 2019.

I got the product list from KathleenLights' reviews because I never save the inserts after opening the box.

If you're the kind of person who uses minimal makeup, or someone who has no interest in trying new products, you're probably better off using that $21 for your tried and true products. If you're somone who enjoys trying new things then BoxyCharm is definitely worth a try.

I have been a Boxycharm subscriber for over a year. I can honestly say that I have never been disappointed in my montly box. In fact, two of the products in this month's box impressed me so much (the No Poreblem Primer Essence and the Dr. Brandt facial cleanser) that I purchased more of them from two friends with Boxy accounts.

@SusieQ_2 thank you so much for posting this. I do wonder how easy is it to cancel if I don't like it, I wouldn't want them to automatically charge my credit card. Maybe I'll try it for 3 months. Do you know if you have to get on a waitlist?

Re: Boxy Charm

SusieQ_2 — Tue, 18 Jun 2019 17:20:49 GMT

@Jordan2 , the first time I signed up there was a waitlist but it only lasted for a few weeks. By the time the next month's box was available I was getting one.

As for payment, they do automatically charge your card each month but it's very easy to unsubscribe--you just have to remember to do it! Once you do unsubscribe be prepared for them to ask you to come back (a lot!). They know it sometimes works--that's how they got me back and that time there was no waitlist. I'm not sure if there's one now.

If you're on the fence maybe try it for a month or two. As I said it's easy to unsubscribe if it's not for you.

I'm really picky. If I signed up for a subscription box I would end up with a bunch of stuff to declutter. I'd rather go on a mini spree at Ulta. That way I'd wind up with a lip gloss or whatever that I might actually use. And no guilt about a bunch of brand new miscellaneous stuff I'd have no use for.

@SusieQ_2 I was reading there is an Ipsy Glam Bag Plus that sells for $25 a month and has 5 full size products. Some people said it's better than Boxy Charm.

I give a yearly subscription to my niece as one of her Christmas gifts. This is her second year with BoxyCharm after giving her glossybox and ipsy in the past.

I never looked what was in the box, but after seeing the list I think I might have to subscribe for myself.
