Best & Worst Beauty Subscription Boxes: Boxycharm, Tribe Beauty Box, Ipsy, Proscription, FabFitFun

[@vmsantos520]

Wow this is my first time watching your video. I love how fast and smooth you talk. You get to the point and move on. I'm tired of seeing unboxings with a lot of senseless rambling, messing with paper, talking to the dog, looking for a way to open the box, stumbling for words etc. Damn girl you're really good! Thank you for talking fast. I didn't have to forward and skip through anything.

Samples should be free. I don't understand why anyone pays more than $3 (shipping) for sample sizes.

[@spacecase]

I absolutely LOVED this video. I only have Sephora play and the regular ipsy one right now. I received boxycharm about three times and cancelled. I love when subscription boxes send more well-known brands because you can more easily verify the actual retail value they're telling you. There has been some stuff I've got in boxycharm... There is no way the retail is correct lol

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Hi, Desiree! I'm glad you like it! Another thing that lessens the value is that some of the products are things that start to turn up at TJ Maxx which devalues them in my opinion. Of course finding something at TJ Maxx can be so luck of the draw, but recently I found Kevyn Aucoin's most recent face palette there! The one with shadows and face products!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

Wow you’ve got Sephora, Ipsy and boxy charm? Can you tell us more of the quality differences? What price point were you at??

[@mikaylac2817]

Was considering getting Ipsy, but after hearing your review and my moms experience with customer service, this was really helpful !! And helped me with other options! Thank you so much! This was awesome!

[@Shawnalange247]

Thank you for being super sweet and honest I like that a lot.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Thank you so much for the kind comment!

[@saraiantonio7093]

This is a HUGE HELP. I currently get boxy premium and it's just not as good as it used to be.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Next month is looking better... Fingers crossed!

[@Anna-Rose-]

I love your vids. Others get product free so I don't trust them. Your honesty is very much appreciated, and I will absolutely use your links. I haven't bought any subscription boxes in about a year so I could use what I had. I joined IPSY when they first began, like I got the very first box and stayed with them for a while. When they began getting the premium cosmetics, they wouldn't have enough to go around, so only those who had a KZbin channel received them. They gave everyone a BS excuse why they chose to do that. They had also began sending cheap clown makeup. A bright neon teal eyeliner with glitter, bright neon pink/purple lipstick, and other equally horrible colors. I canceled, and won't ever go back.

[@MommaSunshine333]

I know this vid is a year old but it's the only one out there that I found! Luther people who monthly, affiliate, Unboxing videos but nothing like this, so thank you and I appreciate the links because it makes it easier for people like myself who aren't very good at finding the boxes!

[@Swedishcarrina]

I have had a completely different experience with ipsy. I have gotten one broken product and they sent me a new one with no issues. I also had a missing item once,and I was sent one with no issues. I do get liquid eyeliners once in a while, which I rarely use. My friend loves them and so I give them to her, do for me not such a big deal. I will say that 111skin stuff is amazing and I will be do sad when it runs out cause I totally can't afford it at retail price.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I'm glad that Ipsy has worked out for you! There is a box for everyone. I need to try some of that 111 Skin then... If I ever grab Ipsy again, I think I am leaning more towards the Glam Bag Plus at $25. The large one doesn't seem to be there just yet.

[@VioletZektser]

I currently have boxycharm glam plus. And I got that 111skin booster anti pollution oil and honestly only used it twice and it works so well with it cosmetics gel moisturizer if you have oily skin. (Bought that one in sephora) and yes 111skin retails at a crazy price. I have only got 2 boxes so far. I really think that $25 a month Is really worth it. I should get ipsy for full size products in the middle of August I think and then I just signed up for birchbox sample. I'm a starting out MUA and esthetician so I think its important to see what is out there.

[@halfloaf1648]

I hated Ipsy, I kept getting stuff that wasn't for my skin type and tone

[@crystalz6032]

I know this is an older video but I just was suggested it and I am loving it. I want a new box. A beauty box. Like actually makeup... I am done with skincare heavy boxes that I subbed to fit makeup. I totally dig an Indie brand. Indie brand have almost always been a total hit. You can't go wrong. Love getting an eyrshadow palette every month and to me the rest of the box is just bonus items. Total box value isn't a huge deal to me. My main concern is getting products I can use. Indie branded eyeshadow palettes are a win for me.

[@butterflygirl2285]

I really appreciate that you are honest about not being affiliated with the companies that you review. It is a big turn off to me when podcasters don't state this right up front. Who wants to pay a fortune for a cosmetic just to find out afterwards that the reviewer was compensated?

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I know what you mean... It is important to me to know that the person recommending something is honest enough to say if they are being paid or not.

[@Rachel-pl5rk]

Wish I'd seen this like 2 days ago. I got an ipsy membership, and I also bought $70 worth of hair stuff. THEY CHARGED ME TWICE for the $70, to make $140! Apparently this happens often, as it was one of the answers on there questions answered section. Like wtf.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Oh, no! I am so sorry that they did that to you. I hope you will be able to get your money back. That is so wrong!

[@Valkyrieous]

In most cases when you see this happening, you were only actually charged once, the other was the authorization which might look like a charge but will not go past the "pending" stage then will drop off your account. It is simply a hold that the bank puts on that money to reserve it until the retailer charges you for the purchase. The money for the pending charge stays in your account the entire time, it is just frozen. Once the retailer charges you , the bank will unfreeze the hold and the pending authorization will just disappear from your account.

[@mahams8954]

Can you please suggest a beauty box which is more focused on skincare and ships in Canada?

[@lauraw3338]

Hello all you beautiful women. Just wanted to give you a heads up on the majority of name brand items. If you find something you love do not go to the company to buy another bottle when you can get the product for 1/2 the price through Walmart.com. They don’t sell name brand products in the store but they certainly do on the website. I’ve been much more impressed by them verses Amazon. Salon Shampoos sell for great prices. Check it out for yourself. You’ll see what I’m talking about. As always and forever...stay fabulous❣️

[@amaliarincon736]

Thank, I been watching the different ones and trying to decide if I should join, but which one ?

[@katelewis7699]

I am over the subscription boxes I have decided to just spend my money on what I want. I received 3 primers in two months and primer is on my least wanted from boxycharm.

[@baganzabaganza2826]

same girl, I feel like every time they just throw some garbage and trail size in that damn box, I m done with it

[@JamieNotLamie]

I can tell you that you're right about the beauty quiz on Ipsy being disregarded. I'm a seller on EBay and since I love beauty stuff I'm often watching the market for everything. Everyone who sells their ipsy box, on eBay, mercari, Poshmark, etc, they all have the same exact items between them. I mean exactly, I think the only difference is sometimes the person has less, so I guess they decided to keep some things. Maybe they keep one thing and sell the rest to make their money back.. but anyway, it definitely seems like brands like this are just selling dead stock not many people want because if you search those products online, there is a lot for sale. Crazy! But thanks for sharing your opinion on them all! I'm definitely treating myself to one of these for Mothers day!!

[@aleksandramoondancer5373]

Too bad we weren't able to see more of the products such as color & swatches...{EDIT}: However! *Finally* someone who is brutally honest about these boxes! I appreciate that much more than a giggly 40+ yr. old saying "how cute" the bullshit is that was curated 'just for them'! Then another purchaser received the same product(s). When you uncovered the fact that some of this stuff (that you wouldn't have gone outta your way to buy) was a gift w/purchase cracked me up! A very straight forward review of the "beauty boxes"!

[@debbyelliott5007]

Thank you for so many comparisons! Greatly appreciated 🙂

[@coffeegirl18]

I have Ipsy currently and I'm very tempted to change to Boxycharm. Some of the items are ones that I would've picked myself but it could be just a universal shade. I've had two eyeshadows that are too dark for me but I can thankfully give them to friends. I've had the subscription for a year even and I haven't had issues other than some missed emails when you're supposed to 'pick an item' and a missing AddOn brush that they credited immediately to my account. Might get a Proscription box subscription. Peter Thomas Roth makes amazing masks, I had it on my Sephora wish list. And Laura Mercier

[@destinyranee8300]

Thank you I been curious to add a new subscription box considering ipsy has been horrible

[@PinkPearlsGlam]

BoxyCharm was one of my most faves but then to many products starting arriving broken. I did Ipsy 2 years and I got tired of the same brush but loved the masks and I always new we'd get a mascara at most 9 times in an entire year. Tribe beauty seems like a box I would like to try but I'm still not up for the broken products.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I can completely understand the frustration over broken products. It is okay if it happens from time to time because of shipping or whatever, but if it becomes all too frequent, I would lose my patience too!

[@leelee2925]

This came up on my feed and started playing. I ended up watching bc you are so specific and thorough and I appreciate that. I have a lot of sub boxes too and I canceled Ipsy bc they were sending me literal crap. Boxy is so so. I get all three but I never heard of the proscription box so I may look into it. New sub. Thanks for being so great! Love ur makeup too btw 😉

[@DoomMetalMistress1]

Informative video! Thank you! I was big into Ipsy years ago, when it was just the $12 bag. Then I went for the glam bag plus, then stopped. Then couple years later started it again, it was not impressive, so I upped to the glam bag X & have been happy, didn't really love this last one. So far, right now, the flash sales are the best thing, imo. Hopefully, I'll find something else to try by watching the rest of your video. Also, with Ipsy, it takes Soo long for buying items in the sales, not in the box, to ship! 💁🏻‍♀️ I'm holding out tho!

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I watched a lot of the Glam Bag X for February, and I have to say that I agree with you completely--it wasn't that great. A lot of skincare, wasn't it? Thank you for watching!

[@veeversace8649]

FINALLY! Seriously finally a KZbinr that does NOT say “now without any further a do” fuck man that drives me just bananas !!! She didn’t do that though , I legit subscribed based on just that and obviously because she has a NON annoying voice and she loves make up as do I lolol

[@Alicesbeautymadness]

Brilliant video! I used to get sephora play and boxycharm in 2017 and loved them both! The tribe beauty box sounds up my alley!

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I can definitely see that. It’s definite more focused on Indie Brands and I do like that they sometimes collaborate with influencers to curate the boxes. Those have been my favorite ones!

[@arfriedman4577]

I heard so many bad things about ipsy. Especially that people have a hard time canceling and getting their money returned.

[@robind2727]

Hi Yori! What a fun video! I don’t have any box subscriptions so it’s always fun to see what people get in them. The Fab Fit Fun looked very nice. Love Rebecca Minkoff. The last Boxy Charm one looked great as well. Idk why they say the Fresh Soy Cleanser is $48 bc it’s $38 lol. I know this bc I just bought a new tube of it. I’ve used it for a few years now and really love it. And that Rikki mirror though! I have been wanting one of those but didn’t know how good they were. I love makeup erasers too. I have one strictly to clean my brushes off between colors or between washes. You’ll have to let us know if you have any standout products from everything you got. Thanks for the video!💕

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I have so much fun with the boxes! In general, I usually feel I get my money's worth even if they inflate prices a bit, LOL. I do love the Rikki mirrors, and if you do a lot of touch ups on the go, the Rikki Cutie is worth it. It gets super bright. Otherwise, I would go for the Rikki Skinny which you can use on your vanity and includes a magnified attachment. Beautylish and Ulta carry both of them, and non prestige coupons work on them at Ulta. I showed these in a previous haul. ❤

[@deborahanne8420]

I love my ipsy glam bag plus. I find it is really important to rate the products. I like it better than boxycharm.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I have been rating my Ipsy products since I first subscribed. I have no idea why they keep sending nail polish when I clearly tell them I hate them. LOL. I am glad they are doing better for you!

[@deborahanne8420]

@@PersonalBeautyLab yeah that's weird cuz as soon as I told them to stop sending nail polish it stopped. 🤷

[@HonesTeaBeauTea]

You can actually right into them and opt out of a product altogether like I do not like nail Polish so I put rarely and I never receive it but I opted out Liquid eyeliner because I was receiving it every month now they can't promise that you will never receive it but they will certainly try not to send it to you and the reason that you are receiving it is because if you look at the rest of the products for the month which I have noticed and done they always do a very very good job at picking the items that were right for me by my preferences they do not have that many items a month to begin with so if they can get most of them because they only have a certain number of variations to work with then that's what they will pick. Also I think you just had a bad ipsy rep Because honestly I have had them for 3 years in their customer service is absolutely amazing if you ever have a problem with them start a completely different email to them and explain your issue they have always jumped through hoops for me and boxy charm has been terrible I have had them for 3 years only had to contact them twice but it was a nightmare

Boxycharm is turning into a joke. Customer service is terrible, shipping is a joke, and they seem to only send the really good stuff to influencers...who also seem to be the only ones who get their boxes on time. Now they are using covid as a crutch/excuse for their terrible shipping/customer service/ overall bad business practices. Been with them 3 months and cancelling it just isn't worth it. I'll find a good subscription that will be worth my money and won't dick me around like boxy is doing to all of their actual paying customers. On another note, I enjoyed this video and found it very informative a few services have caught my eye and I will be looking into them further.

I'm a select member for FFF and I try to get my add ons as soon as they become available, but most of the time 1/4 of the products are already sold out. I don't know why. . .maybe they only have a few of certain items and their employees get first choice? Also, sometimes items are sold out and then magically reappear later as not sold out. . .I have to keep checking their site. But, I do appreciate getting my choice of customizing so that makes it worth it to me.

[@cicidavis8173]

That skin co face scrub is actually really good. .

[@Valkyrieous]

Great video! The "retail prices" are set by the manufacturer though so aren't being inflated by the different beauty box companies. Hardly anyone sells at full retail price, unless it's a very hard to get item, or it's a retailer that sells at full price and routinely provides large coupons so you think you are getting great deals :) . And this is true for almost all consumer products, not just beauty products.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

That’s true… I didn’t mean to “blame” the beauty box company for it. 😅 It’s like certain stores set prices but ALWAYS have coupons. It bugs me. LOL! I wish they would just price things the correct way and stop with the marketing tactics.

[@Valkyrieous]

@@PersonalBeautyLab Right! And that has set the stage for some people to be more concerned with how much they save instead of the actual cost! But the retail list prices SHOULD reflect the actual quality of the product, so as long as the manufacturer is fairly truthful when setting the retail price (not giving a luxury value to an economy product, for example, which some do) it should still be useful when trying products you aren't familiar with, to know what quality level of products they should be comparable to.

[@pandorarose3]

I get Ipsy and yea its been good BUT I think your right about them not reading the actual quiz because I tell them I don't like eyeliner and they keep sending them every other box.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

The funny thing is that now that we are stuck at home, I'm actually using all those polishes. LOL! Eyeliners are also a frequent item.

[@lindawells5576]

I have Ipsy, the middle subscription, Ipsy plus I think. This is my 1st time entering the beauty box/bag monthly thing. Honestly didn’t know these even existed. I’ve gotten Ipsy delivered the past several months with my next one in transit now. The 1st one was AmaZzing! I got a really great primer, concealer, foundation, liquid lipstick(Love) finishing powder...I was So excited! Mostly pleased with everything I got. Each month after it seems they Aren’t hearing me. When I check RARELY when asked abt eyeliner & I get 2 in a row along with the Same Brown lip color I start questioning my subscription. I’m a newbie so I definitely need to do my part & Research. I even took my complaints to Ipsy via email & surprisingly they were quickly responsive! That’s a big plus but the 1 thing I’d love to see with Ipsy is more Well known, name brand products. There’s NO point in asking to select the brands you personally like & use if they Never have them available in the first place. I’m sticking with them at least another month or 2 to see if things start improving. A girl can only have so many Brown shades of lip color & where is the Primer I really need?? Loved the 1st one bt that was gone within 2 weeks. I can’t really compare to any other subscription bc this is my first one. All in all I rate them abt a 6-7 out of 10. So far. My ideal beauty subscription wld include both skin care such as great cleanser, toner, eye treatment/moisturizer And the rest Makeup. No nail polish or hair care & please not another Mask in Evvvery months bag.

40:04 facial roller is probably one of the unique and wellness-anti-aging items, that is why you get a box to try-see if they do something great for you! Not a recognized brand, they charge much more and isn’t that the reason to ‘try’ and get a box.

Thanks for the information. I tried out ipsy because I wanted to try new things now that I am a new mama. And don't have time for anything. And it was all bad. I got a box and a bag.

No they are not fake products I do watch or and I appreciate her are investigating but it was talked about with the owner himself and he said absolutely not there are no fake products in these boxes. This is advertisement for those brands so they wouldn't want a low quality product representing them that's not going to get them any customers. And it would be extremely illegal the owner said That they work with very reputable brands and they certainly would catch on if they were sneaking counterfeit products in the boxes

I wanna try boxycharm but in canada you pay $42 for the small $25 box 😭 after conversion and shipping of course.

[@TheRealCrystalReid]

Jade Portman I know!!!! It’s insane . I just subscribed to boxy today. Hmmm

[@joywalker1608]

I really wished you would have shown us the colors of some of these products, even if you have swatched some of these, I would have a better idea on if I like them or not other than that great video.

[@VioletZektser]

Now I definitely want to try the proscription box, you said they have makeup artist one correct? Do you think it would be good for someone starting out? I mean I only had one client in 2018 for makeup that outside the school.

[@VioletZektser]

Unfortunately they wont have a summer box due to Covid-19

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Yes, I was disappointed to miss out, but it is understandable. They did cancel the makeup artist box. I guess that one wasn't as popular. I hope to get their fall one if all goes well!

[@VioletZektser]

@@PersonalBeautyLab I signed up for the waiting list. And today I signed up for the waiting list and they already approved for the boxycharm that is $35 a month. I think eventually I will just cancel one, either the 25 or the 35 but you get more luxury products in the 35. So I should just get two boxes in mid August. I just have no where to keep all of this. Where do you keep everything?

[@ThexGlamourweight]

I was neeevvveeerrr impressed with FabFitFun

[@carolobrien1617]

how about allure? This was great I subscribed!?!

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Welcome! I'm happy you're here. I have actually not yet gotten into Allure Beauty Box! I will have to check it out. Do you enjoy it?

[@lisamedsker3536]

I wish some of the makeup brands would do boxes.

[@skateata1]

I was thinking of boxycharm. I had a great experience with ipsy but was interested in new options.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Boxycharm is great. All the different box variations are good. Once in a while, you get a dud box, but overall the products are really worth the price. 👍🏼

[@aledaadams5580]

Another really nice thing about Boxy is they have amazing items you can buy in their pop up sales

[@jenniferb5854]

thanks for introducing me to the Proscription box! It had so many of my favorite brands. Definately getting it!

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I really enjoy it! This summer, they decided to take a break because of what is going on, but they should be back for fall!

[@jenniferb5854]

Im on the waitlist! :)

[@nykareign]

Love Ipsy they only give 5 items in you glam bag plus. Your unboxing was more than that.? Also love the bags as they are great for traveling, adding personal essentials in your handbag and or as a gift.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Mine was the Ultimate Glam Bag, that is why it was more. This one is $50 a month instead of the $25 one. Honestly, the $25 on is much better. I wish I had subscribed to that one instead.

[@carolobrien1617]

You are so right about Ipsy In every way.!!! Not good . In fact I have never seen so much honesty re boxes. My first exposure to you. Loved this video!!!! this bidep

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

This was a slight older video, and Ipsy has improved a tiny bit. I did make an updated beauty box video if you enjoy this kind of content.

[@beckivan7039]

Thank you I've been saying the same about the Ipsy glam bag samples, they should be free and now they went up to $14 for a small bag of samples RIDICULOUS

[@sammiegirl883]

I would really like a box that only has cosmetics and no skincare.

[@missycallihan7510]

Samantha Thompson me too

[@rileybrown9029]

Chic Beauty box check them out!

[@joywalker1608]

Absolutely not, I definitely want both of them, I can't afford a lot of the skin care, the makeup is fine, but it's just makeup, I want something that's going to help with wrinkles, dark circles, health, hydration, a lot of people complain about getting skin care, but the older you get, the more you realize you need it.

[@lindawells5576]

And would you please be so kind to let us know when & if you discover one like that?? Thank you in advance. 🌻

[@YS0093]

Beautyfix box

[@Jasapan-u4s]

Agree about Ipsy. They do not send per requests

[@JagroopM]

I loved the items of proscriptions box and that is the least known one. I’m definitely considering subscribing, but I’ll have to figure out what I’ll do with so much makeup!!🙈

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I can totally understand that! At least this one only comes four times a year. It gives more time to really use and test out the products before you are receiving more!

[@BEAUTYSUBSCRIPTIONSMORE]

I have recently tried boxycharm and FabFitFun. I love them but am looking to add another. Any suggestion on adding another?

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I really have been happy with Tribe Beauty Box and it is only every other month, so not too overwhelming. I have heard that Ipsy has made some drastic improvements like allowing you to choose multiple items. From unboxings I have seen, I still think their mid-tier $25 box is the best of their offerings.

[@BEAUTYSUBSCRIPTIONSMORE]

I don’t wear makeup daily and when I do it’s do light usually that you cannot tell that I have it on and it looked like tribe may be a lot of colorful makeup. I believe I will go with Balzano bags

[@candydenise.]

Try Tinted Glam

[@lisamedsker3536]

I go to each website and look up prices and what deals I can get.

[@lavitamone6924]

i dont get boxy charm emails no matter how much i try i feel your frustration

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Yes... Now they are putting the key choice and add-on dates on their website at least, so I have just put the date in my calendar and set an alarm. It would be much easier if they would just send out their emails.

[@R.johnson789]

This came across my feed glad it did. Like seeing all the different boxes. I currently have boxycharm base and premium might just go down to premium and have ipsy base only because that's all we can get in Canada. I found there customer service to be the best. The other one I would like to try is fabfitfun but with there exchange rate it's pretty pricy here.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I think Tribe Beauty Box ships to Canada... I think the owner is Canadian. I also just got GlossyBox. I will be sharing that one soon. They ship to Canada as well but there is an additional $5 shipping fee.

[@ladygreensleeves901]

Also super picky about vegan and cruelty free

[@killywilly740]

I've had issues cancelling my subscription with boxy charm and ipsy. Ipsy did refund me when it happened, which was nice. Ultimately both boxy charm and ipsy felt redundant. Oh, and the amount of bags you end up having from your ipsy subscription is nuts! I've donated like 8 of them. I currently get the allure beauty box and it's ok. For $15 it's pretty good. I don't like that they send things that are not actually that great for you, like a walnut face scrub, and in the booklet they sing the products praises. Just feels dishonest.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Ooooh! Thank you for the warning! I am definitely canceling Ipsy so I will have to keep en eye out for any charges coming from the company. I appreciate your sharing that experience!

[@leophoenix7165]

Boxycharm aka BOXYCON has the worst customer service ever‼️‼️ They don’t look at the profiles ever. If you’re dark you get light products‼️🤨 They forget to include items and they won’t send it so you’re screwed‼️🤨 They show luxury items that that seems no one gets‼️

[@dalesluvbug1]

Not to mention they rarely if ever reply to their messages and when they do the replies are generic scripted b.s and they use the pandemic as their new excuse for garbage service and incompetence when it comes to shipping and broken promises etc. They are basically a bait and switch. Your first month or two might go okay and then bam they start sending cheap crap and it comes super late if it comes at all etc. I was extremely disappointed by them and now looking for a new service to spend my money on. My nails and one beauty box a month are like my gifts to myself...self care in a sense and it sucks when you wind up basically getting duped.

[@candydenise.]

Try Tinted Glam

[@shannonnauer3367]

See that is what makes the world go round...lol. 111skin is one of the bougee brands that I LOVE in my boxes. Its all so different for everyone...very personal. I've had my ups and downs w Ipsy but have always received excellent customer service. Now, I've spent a butt load of $ with boxy and boxyluxe over the years and I have been feeling let down with them. On the other hand I find myself reminding myself that not everyone is feeling that way. Sub boxes are up and down...its up to the individual how long they give their $ to whatever box has been letting them down. You and I look for completely different things from a box but thats ok. I think we've (or at least I have) become a little hard on these boxes recently...almost greedy. We don't get to customize our entire boxes yet we (I've found myself having to delete reviews on boxys site lately)...sound almost entitled and greedy. No shade to ANYONE....its your $ so you say your peace....do you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion...that is for sure. I like how detailed each of your descriptions were...obviously alot of work went into this video. Thank you for that!!!! Stay safe.....

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

Variety is definitely the spice of life! I enjoy getting a variety of things in my boxes, but lately have been getting a backlog of skincare. Now that you share how much you enjoy 111 Skin, I am going to give it a try again... I just see that price tag and am shocked that it could be true or worth it. Thank you so much for sharing your experience as well and for the kind feedback!

[@shannonnauer3367]

Such a kind response! Thanks for that. Lol. I was expecting defense and a little anger. Shame on me. Also wanted to clarify that if something that expensive did not come in a $25 a month subscription box, you can bet your sweet patootie I could not afford to buy it right now. So I just wanted to make that clear I've never tried that brand but I'm glad that I get the option if I get it in my box. Sorry for the confusion I just wanted to get that out there and to also say thank you for your kind response it really did shock me that you didn't argue or debate and it was refreshing to be quite honest. I hope you and your family are safe

[@ron53685]

You are so so right ! I just subscribed in March . Got charged in March 3 . For all 3 mind you . Invested over $200 and guess what ? I received my luxe box on April 4th. My add ons , I also got them on April 6. And for my April boxes ? Yep you guessed it . Not here yet . Very disappointed .

[@dayanarios4867]

Hi I am new in the subscriptions is there one for jewelry? Like boxycharm and Ipsy is in beauty but for earrings, bracelets could you recommend me one please

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

I think Kathleen Light’s sister does a jewelry subscription service… I think it’s called XIO by Ylette.

[@librtyordeath1214]

I have a question about BoxyCharm. If you want premium, is it base box $25 + $35 every month or just $35 flat every month? And how exactly does BoxyLuxe work? They make it so confusing on the site.

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

If you want premium it’s $35 stand alone each month, no other requirements. However, the only way to get boxyluxe, is to have an active base subscription for $25 a month. Then on luxe months, instead of the $25 base, you pay the $50 luxe price. You cannot have luxe without base. I hope it helps!

[@librtyordeath1214]

PersonalBeautyLab thanks! That is much less confusing than the website makes it! So if I want Luxe and Premium, do I need two base subscriptions?

[@PersonalBeautyLab]

If you want luxe you need base subscription. Premium is its own separate subscription with no requirements. Here’s what I do: premium subscription for $35. Base with luxe upgrade for $25 a month except on luxe months I am charged $50 total for luxe.

[@MelissaRodriguez]

I needed this video! thank you!

[@netjet7778]

I need a new makeup bag every month. Shhhh!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

We can buy from ShopMissA- more quality paw paw 🐾 approved products, I may just order from them.

[@icedlavenders5699]

This was interesting 🤔 to see

[@skarac3224]

I watched this entire video even though I will never buy one of these
