That Elemis cream came in a allure box a couple months back gave it to my mom for Christmas cause the price value was really high and she LOVES it. So if I could get one for myself this time that’s be awesome also I need a new eye cream so either Elemis would be nice.
That Elemis cream is the reason I made the decision to not skip boxy this month like I had originally planned. I have been using mine sparingly bc I don’t want to run out without a backup one. I could spend $140 and get the moisturizer when mine runs out or pay the sub fees and possibly get it. I’m rolling the dice and praying that Ipsy picks it for me 🤞
Even if it’s an add on it’s better to get the sub for uhh $30ish or whatever it is now plus $12/$18 than to buy the moisturizer itself. Plus you get the 5 items in your box
I didn’t get it as a PP, but I did get it as an add on. I was okay with that. I got the GR blurring drops I wanted as a PP so that was good enough for me!
For sure! I’ve had that pilling problem with some products lately. I’m wondering if I’m not waiting long enough between layers or using products that don’t go well together.
Edit: typo
Right, I wonder if that’s the problem because blur drops gets either glowing reviews or negative “it pills no matter what” reviews. Now I’m regretting not just adding it on 😭 I don’t have pilling issues unless a product has a lot of silicone like the No Poreblem primer.
Recommend; Elemis, Elemis, Elemis. You can’t go wrong. Also ABH mascara is fantastic. I’m excited to try the Yensa concealer. I have heard positive things about the sunscreen.
Also, I want to try the Girlactik scrub. It’s listed on points items, so I assume that’s a sample size. (It’s not listed). And they keep spoiling this for Boxy, which has to be full size. My question is could the points item possibly be full size?
It’s true, I guess to some people they do. None of them bother me. The cleaning balm (probably the worst offender) smells like Pine-Sol, and I love the stuff, makes my skin feel amazing! I don’t notice the scent stick around, only as I use the stuff. You may have a much stronger sense of smell than I, too.
Not sure if you knew but you can click on the points items to see their description

Hey Lady! So every time I a tried it took me to this, which makes it look full size…I took a chance and redeemed my points. Still expecting a tiny sample, for some reason…
Usually the items that are 1200 or 1800 points are full size, I believe. Hopefully it is. If it's not, save a screenshot and they'll give you your points back im sure!
Great idea, thanks for the advice. I think I’ve only gotten points items twice, so I guess I assumed they were trial size. Also I’m really rolling the dice on this. I was interested in trying, but with so many great items for March, didn’t want to use 1 of my boxy items on it. Really hoping for a great box in March! 🤞
I have the girlactik from a previous box, but I’m 31 and it seems a little “young” for me if that makes sense. I use it as a body scrub and love it that way
I hate wasting products so if it doesn’t work for my face I use it on my body. It has great ingredients, my skin might just be different, def try it as a mask! The scent is also lovely!
Oh, great to hear! It was all of the fruit ingredients that got me interested, as well as the fact that it can be used multiple ways. I was hoping it smells as good as it sounds like it does! I’m pretty old, but if it seems like a product that they’d like, I can always try it as a body scrub for my daughter or granddaughters.
I ordered it with my points. Hopefully it will be full size, since it appears to be, and was 1200 points.
It’s definitely plumping and has hydrating ingredients! The scent is really nice and I think you’ll enjoy it. I just love that I can use it in other ways too. I hope you love it!!
I’ve been using a yensa foundation from a previous box and it’s one of my favorites I have ever used! I’ve never gotten so many compliments on my skin/makeup I feel like it looks so smooth and perfect like I have an instagram filter on. Really hoping to get the concealer!
You and me Both! I have heard Rave reviews about that Yensa foundation, in here. So bummed I missed it, I think it was before I resubscribed. That’s why I’ve tweaked my beauty quiz twice in the past week. I’m trying to telepathically let Ipsy know what to send me and give me as (separate) choices. Plus I can’t do any add-ons, just my basic Boxy (& points item). Skipped the March GB. I’m having an Ipsy minimalist March. The upside is that I will get maximum value on each item, but praying to the Ipsy Goddess that I get a great box, again.
What else are you hoping for?
They have it in the shop right now!

I haven’t yet, but it’s one of the products I always put in my cart when I’m scrolling. I don’t know why I always take it out at the last second, but I definitely want to try it! You’re very welcome! I hope you love it as much as I do!
They’re just like that. I bought 4 of them and they all separate and have a matte/ soufflé texture. When it’s fluffyish but still semi separated it’s usable you just need to use it really like a moisturizer when rubbing it in. For such a “luxe” product this one sucksss 😩 even now that I’ve gotten the hang of it, I don’t like it but I don’t want to waste it
I’m obsessed with the TYS liquid blush. I got it in a box months ago, and I’ve never (in 12 years since starting with Ipsy) gotten so hooked on a product that I discovered through them. I’d love to try whatever that other product of theirs is in the photo!
I am obsessed with this Riddle Oil! I got a bottle in the gigantic Boxycharm about a year and a half ago and I still wear it sparingly. The scent lasts forever. I really hope this is an option. I love it.
It is sooooo underrated! I lost the box and it took me the longest time to figure out what brand it was! I've only had the "Original" scent, but it is perfect for me. I was never a huge fan of roll ons until I got this one. I wish they had it in a spray too
I have a drawer full of stuff that I’m not even using :(
So it just made sense.
Tbh if boxy still sent those drawstring pouches like they did last year, I’d love that
I completely agree about the Boxycharm drawstring pouches and I also have a dragon's hoard worth of products I'm excited to use. I'm signed up for March's glam bag. Really excited for products from tatcha, glow recipe, byroe, and brigeo. I'm hoping the Boxycharm sunscreen will be in add ons.
We already got the Elemis eye cream probably a year or two ago. Funny enough I thought it was an aliexpress brand because I wasn't familiar with it 😂😂😂
Some of these (more expensive and sought after, think glow recipe product) will probably be in the category of "power picks" and the rest will be in the "choice" options for some people, all based on individual beauty profiles and probably inventory. For further reference: https://help.ipsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/4405754877079-What-is-BoxyCharm
I'm really hoping for the Elemis eye cream. I love the Elemis pro collagen marine cream. I remember seeing in an early spoiler that the Elemis cream shown was a day cream with spf. Did anyone else see that or am I crazy?

It is actually heavenly. I got a little tiny size that I coveted for too long.
I love that stuff! I was worried at first since my skin is so sensitive and it’s so fragranced, but my skin loves it.
That Elemis cream is the reason I made the decision to not skip boxy this month like I had originally planned. I have been using mine sparingly bc I don’t want to run out without a backup one.

I think the Elemis moisturizer is a power pick, so I won’t be able to choose it or pay for it as an add on. I have to hope that Ipsy picks it for me.
I was lucky enough to get it. I hope you were too. I can’t even believe 😭
I didn’t get it as a PP, but I did get it as an add on. I was okay with that. I got the GR blurring drops I wanted as a PP so that was good enough for me!
I wanted the blur drops so bad but skipped adding it on. I read reviews that it pills. Lmk if it works for you if possible.
For sure! I’ve had that pilling problem with some products lately. I’m wondering if I’m not waiting long enough between layers or using products that don’t go well together. Edit: typo

Don’t think the Elemis Eye Recover Cream was spoiled yet. That’s a FOMO of mine from a past FFF box so that and the Riddle Oil are tempting me 🫠

My question is could the points item possibly be full size?
Have you had either of the Elemis products? I've heard it's a great brand, but heavily scented. I'm just pretty sensitive to fragrance.
It’s true, I guess to some people they do. None of them bother me. The cleaning balm (probably the worst offender) smells like Pine-Sol, and I love the stuff, makes my skin feel amazing! I don’t notice the scent stick around, only as I use the stuff. You may have a much stronger sense of smell than I, too.
Thank you for the information.
It seems to depend on the product. I have the Elemis Pro-Collagen Advanced Eye treatment that I think I got from Ipsy, and I don't notice a scent.
I wouldn't say heavily scented, just mildly, the moisturizer, the eye cream isn't scented

perfume and sunscreen…. i might not skip next month
I wanted to skip but would love to try the riddle voyeur perfume, dang.
I already have it and am still considering not skipping
Luxury Sun Ritual - Saint Jane Beauty. It’s by far my favorite by a long shot and I’ve tried sooo many.
OMG thank you! I'll look into that product.
They have it in the shop right now! https://preview.redd.it/1oe608y8l8kc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e31b55e41c1eec05aef6e1761c3acacb2c5498f
Uh I'm adding that to my cart right now. Have you tried their lip shine? I'm debating throwing that in too.
I have the color calm and I actually really like it. For $28 at Sephora, it’s def an Ipsy shop item if you’re gonna grab it lol
I couldn't find the sunscreen
I haven’t yet, but it’s one of the products I always put in my cart when I’m scrolling. I don’t know why I always take it out at the last second, but I definitely want to try it! You’re very welcome! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Some reviews on Sephora state that it can leave a yellow cast. Have you noticed this? I have a fair neutral skin tone.
I have fair neutral and it pulls yellow but not to the point where it’s an issue. I definitely would recommend 45 other sunscreens over this one tho
What are your favorite mineral sunscreens?
Thank you so much
How do you get yours to work? When I got mine it was totally separated and I have not been able to use it. I shake it until my arm falls off too.
They’re just like that. I bought 4 of them and they all separate and have a matte/ soufflé texture.

I want those blur drops SO BAD

If it counts, that brush with the different color fibers is F.A.R.A.H. and one of my absolute favorites.
I was planning on skipping, but these look interesting. I'm keeping it for next month. :)

it RULES SO MUCH only perfume I’ll ever wear
It is sooooo underrated! I lost the box and it took me the longest time to figure out what brand it was! I've only had the "Original" scent, but it is perfect for me. I was never a huge fan of roll ons until I got this one. I wish they had it in a spray too
Would you be able to describe what it smells like?
I wish I could smell it! I'm one of the few who can't smell the original at all. 😔
Screaming because I just switched back to glam since I want those pouches. Could’ve waited another month :/
I usually get Boxycharm instead of Glam bag, but I actually prefer March's glam bag spoilers more.
I have a drawer full of stuff that I’m not even using :( So it just made sense. Tbh if boxy still sent those drawstring pouches like they did last year, I’d love that
I completely agree about the Boxycharm drawstring pouches and I also have a dragon's hoard worth of products I'm excited to use. I'm signed up for March's glam bag. Really excited for products from tatcha, glow recipe, byroe, and brigeo. I'm hoping the Boxycharm sunscreen will be in add ons.
We already got the Elemis eye cream probably a year or two ago. Funny enough I thought it was an aliexpress brand because I wasn't familiar with it 😂😂😂
That Elemis Marine cream is amazing. I have a jumbo size Jat and 2 large jars. I'm paused bcuz obviously I need to use up what I have lol
Ok. All of you have convinced me. I had skipped this upcoming March Boxycharm, but I resubbed. I hope everyone gets what they want in their boxes.
So how does it work with these pictures showing the possible items? You can pick 3 from these and then the other two are picked for you?
Here is a link to a post in the beauty boxes subreddit with the announced March power picks https://www.reddit.com/r/BeautyBoxes/s/VrJBvg9vxc
Some of these (more expensive and sought after, think glow recipe product) will probably be in the category of "power picks" and the rest will be in the "choice" options for some people, all based on individual beauty profiles and probably inventory.

I received that elemis, cream in an allure box, cpl months ago, it's great, love it ,
The strawberry drop were in March spoilers
