This Could be a BIG PROBLEM for BOXYCHARM! | 4 Boxycharm Unboxings!

[@Alexandria-Ryan]

Click here www.helixsleep.com/alexandria for up to $200 off your Helix Sleep mattress plus two free pillows! Sleep as cozy and me and Wren! GIVEAWAY WINNER Announced in the outro! Congrats and Love ya all! Hey guys! How are you all doing today! So does anyone else think the increase of the same products between boxycharm and Ipsy is going to be an issue? Since Ipsy bought Boxy harm do you think they would phase them out? What do you think? Let me know! Love ya💖

[@Hey_there_its_hanna]

So many repeats even within Boxycharm themselves. I cancelled boxy back in Feb when that started and just recently cancelled Ipsy when prices went up and it wasn't worth it with the exchange rate anymore. Tempted to go back to Boxy but I think that's more because I miss the monthly treat to open more than anything.

[@southern91680]

I think you should do a monthly or bimonthly mystery boxes for your candles. I would definitely subscribe to it if you ever do

[@jamiesides306]

At this point they are literally the same thing. It doesn't make sense for them to have two separate websites and brandings. I'm sure they're just trying to figure out the right way to bring down to one. I'm curious as to what percentage of customers have both. Anywho, love you! And I hope whatever it is you're going through becomes more manageable to navigate soon. I think you're doing great! And I haven't noticed any decline in quality or quantity of your content. Be kind to yourself. Love ya!

[@shellnet411]

For my wedding I did my own make up it lasted all day I put down revlon primer from the dollar store and then wet and wild foundation liquid then powder then I did an eyeshadow and Maybelline and Revlon Longware but I recommend just going with black heart which lasts as long it's from Hot Topic there's some of the best lip color you'll find go light on fats in your foods and your lipstick will last longer fat makes long wear lipstick smudge that's an oil's I just used a little bit powder blush and between powders do a setting spray and after every liquid product to a setting powder spray and then powder spray after every powder product and setting powder after every liquid product there is also a great eyeshadow product from P Luis or you could use primer or concealer for an eyeshadow base too but make sure you use very little I've been using make up for 30+ years so I remember when everything was powder and there was no setting powder or any of that or primer and you had to powder your nose every 10 minutes

[@Mizz.Person]

Love the look of that brown liner! Can you show us a look with it sometime, please? :)

[@marischulze7250]

If you do a makeup test run, make sure you also test it with flash photography, especially if you’re not used to setting powders. Some offer flashback and you don’t want to ruin your wedding pictures

[@GothBoyUK]

I was going to say the same thing. It's very easy to forget about flashback - I've known experienced MUAs to forget to do a check before going out and looking like they've been up to no good in photographs. 😂

[@audisnewbeginning8616]

Good advice. I just learned something new. TY

What are good setting powders to prevent flashback?

[@christinagrace7455]

Look for powders without Mica

Not sure if someone has already said this or not but I believe the bendable mascara wands became more popular the last few years and were specifically targeted at people with disabilities or diseases that affect fine motor skills. While I personally agree with you that I’d like my mascara wand to be sturdy, it’s nice to know that makeup brands are becoming more accessible. 😊

[@AbstractlyMe83]

Gurl, I feel you. This past year has been literal hell, and I’m just really, really wanting for the sun to come out and be like “hey…. Here’s a few good, happy years. Enjoy.” I’m sorry you’re going through it too, and if you ever need a break, we’ll always be here for you when you come back. You have A TON of stuff happening in your life right now.

I cancelled Boxy when Ipsy bought them out. Knew there would be a drop off in the quality of products and a parade of repeats!

[@jml2988]

I didn't know Ipsy bought them out, no wonder they suck now.

[@Ml25562]

I’m just sick of seeing brands that clearly only exist in subscription boxes. You can’t tell me Give Them Lala exists anywhere outside of BoxyCharm and fake storylines on Vanderpump Rules

[@shannonkoslova4299]

Hahaha omg so true

[@katiehenry7]

Lulz. That's why I canceled boxy. I can't stand it! These brands wouldn't even exist without subscription boxes and there are A LOT of them... not just give them Lala. Ugh

[@Whitney341]

And then they say the retail pricing for that item just happens to be astronomical. 🙄

[@mrsbinkbonk]

Wasn’t there a thing that a lot of these “brands” are just Chinese crap?

[@TheLiana1102]

I haven't heard of Give Them Lala, but the Juice brand is a good brand and very expensive. Just a fair warning though Manny's setting spray is awful, it literally pulls makeup right off my face. About 2 min after I had sprayed it, it made my makeup melt off.

[@Hey_there_its_hanna]

The Nymph Nectar is fine, just melted and crystallized. If you heat it up in a pot of hot water and then stir it til it cools it should be fine. This is apparently from Earth Harbor themselves and sometimes happens in the back and forth from hot and cold

[@stacyford8793]

Yes. I had the same thing happen to mine and followed the steps from EH and it turned back to normal.

[@danieIIemydear]

Yeah its got a super low melting point like coconut oil so it probably melted some in the mail and resolidified weird but it's a super nice product so it's worth fixing :)

[@LStottmann]

Just want to say I’ve always been a silent viewer (might be my very first time ever commenting). But my life has been so down and hectic and I’ve been super depressed this past year, and I’m so happy when you upload because it’s a 20-30 minute distraction from the sadness and lifts me up. I love laughing at you (along with you might I add lol) making fun of the clothes you get that you hate and the boxes that are terrible and how funny you make it all. And I do get product ideas to use from you too! It truly makes my day, so stopping by to say thanks!

[@lillyh3447]

I hope things get better for you soon!! Sending lots of love your way 💕💞💖💗

[@JenniferCrum78]

If you want a really good primer for your wedding that really holds your makeup in place, try the primer from Elf that is green and in a tube with a pump. I can’t think of what it’s called right now, maybe power grip??? It’s literally the best primer I’ve ever used. I have oily skin and between that and a good setting spray, my makeup doesn’t budge, even on a hot, humid Georgia day.

[@GothBoyUK]

I've seen so many Manscaped adverts that it always makes me grin when Alexandria talks about Jimmy's weed whacker. 😂

[@kitty_p0p]

Love that you keep the packing materials to reuse later! My husband has his own business & I always give him the bubble wrap from my Colourpop packages (cause it's his favorite type) & any other mail I get, so he can use it to pack orders for his customers. Also, we got our Helix mattress over a year ago after seeing your ad & we love it so much ^-^ I've been trying to get my dad to buy one haha I told him I could get him a discount & free pillows!

[@SubKween]

I love the nymph nectar product. It’s supposed to be like that. You rub it between your fingers and the texture changes to more like an oil.

[@just_be_123]

I cannot wait for advent calendar season!

[@howdoyouwhisk]

leave in conditioner works great when you apply it to soaking wet hair. i apply mine like while i'm in the shower. i kinda spray and spread it over my fingers and rake it through the ends first and then up, but you can even wide tooth comb it in after. the extra water helps it spread evenly and also not weigh your hair down too much because it's a bit more diluted.

[@mc_creates3499]

I apply mine in the shower also and my hair loves it! So much lighter weight and still nourishing

[@veronicahayes2635]

The Lunar Beauty palette is a beautiful wedding palette. Manny had a wonderful formal and his lip products are the bomb

[@WillSing4TP]

I've seen a couple of really nice K-beauty sub boxes.

[@christinehorowitz9305]

[@briannan1446]

You should practice the wedding look with those cream products just to try out the cream/powder method and then as long as you like it and it has longevity you can buy the ones the makeup artist recommends. Just a thought. Great video!

[@NorseButterfly]

The Ofra pallet is a beautiful selection of blushes, paired with their highlight. If you were to use the cream blush you got, sheer it out with a sponge, wait a few minutes, then lightly dust on a blush from the Ofra pallet... you'll get a sustainable, beautiful blush. You can also use the dual ended liquid eyeshadow as a "base". Build on the matte shadow, then use the shimmer as a base for a different powdered shimmer or glitter shade. You can also sheer out all the cream face products with a sponge after dotting the color where you want it.

[@timahtoo]

Oohh me again the glow recipe eye thing 🤩🤩

[@zoeygroat1560]

I really like the juice beauty serum but it is VERY scented. Kinda like Pine Sol 💜

[@heyitsemily677]

I LOVE the Rodial glass primer, its shimmery/glowy and helps smooth the look of pores on the skin AND its like sticky so it feels like your foundation sticks to it... And then on top of that if you just put it on like your cheek bones and T zone, like you would normally highlight, and let it dry... It dries to a nice weightless powdery feel. It stays put and gives you some glow without wearing makeup. I literally wear it everyday

[@kathleenkinsler5621]

Back when ipsy glam bag plus came in a box it always had the orange foam in it

[@lorainehayes]

Yes Avant does look like an eye test chart I thought that first time I ever received items from that brand

Not only is it the same old stuff, but the prices in the sales have went way up!! Plus they charge a random $1.99 handling fee for every order now. That is why I quit glam bag.

[@YourPartnerInCrime]

I don’t trust boxy anymore! In my most recent two of the products were legit but the other three were sketchy. I googled the brand name of the sketchy products and only got results from websites of the same name and the boxycharm site. I think they buy stuff from Alibaba, repackage them and create a new “brand”under the boxy name. The two sketchy products I got this month were “Basic Beauty” lip liners and a highlighter by “Aesthetica”.

[@omomo202]
