Hey guys! So even with my bank denying all my charges, I STILL MANAGED TO GET TWO "BOXYCHARMS"! I think we are one short though so maybe we are slowly chipping away at them! Let me know what you think about these boxes and the final makeup look! Love ya💖
Commenting as my kiddos godmother has Celiacs and I have friends with Celiacs yes wheat and wheat by-products in beauty and skincare is a HUGE no no they will react very badly to it. Same if you have a Latex allergy, Mango seed butter is bad, because the plant is related.
You could get a pack of doe foot applicators from a pharmacy and use them to swatch things you aren't sure about! That way, you can test it without touching the one that goes back into the tube!
It's still not safe, she'd still be contaminating the product, but opening it at all is a contamination due to her talking and breathing on it... Legally she couldn't pass it on after that without saying used
Yes I was coming to say please get some dough foots to do swatches with. That way you can still give them to friends or family if you don't like them and we can see it.
You're right, people with celiacs can't use things with wheat protein. It's just another way of saying gluten. I used a hair product that had hydrolyzed wheat protein and got a rash on my neck that lasted for months. It was awful.
@bmckong typically they advise all celiac sufferers to avoid using lip products as those are more easily ingested. The other reply is correct about avoiding make up thats not gluten free if they have skin affected celiac disease.
I feel you. I was wondering why I was having constant rashes on my hands and arms with constant tummy pain and realized that the bath and body works gel hand sanitizer has wheat protein in it. Stopped using it and within a week it was gone. It sucks.
As someone with Celiac, wheat protein is exactly what I react to. Cosmetics aren't required to disclose things like that and the gluten free claims on others aren't regulated the way they are in food. Cosmetics are a minefield that is super fun to navigate.
@@bmckong I really believe even those who do not have skin-related symptoms are better off avoiding it. When you take a shower or bath, it's inevitable for watered-downed remnants of your hair and body products to get into your mouth. Or you touch the body product and later bite your nails. I am an extremely sensitive Celiac, but I learned the hard way I would get a full-blown GI celiac reaction most of the time after using gluten body products. Just better not to risk it IMO.
Ipsy managed to charge a bag to my EXPIRED credit card soooo... I'm not too surprised they managed to get two boxes to you, the cockroach comparison is adequate lol. I always enjoy all your videos !! :)
Did your bank issue you a new card? I ask because some banks use a system that will provide new card numbers to companies that are charging you month over month.
@@nevergoingtopostonthisthin4058 They did, maybe that's what happened. I'm not sure though because for all my other subscriptions I had to update my card information. 🤷♀ (Thanks for letting me know though!)
Still watching, but I gotta admit, i know next to nothing about makeup but I'm honestly addicted to watching any of your videos. You're just so charismatic and friendly, it's like watching a best friend talk about their passion and I think that's why it's so engaging. That being said, the fact you cancelled your card and they still came is absolutely hilarious XD Edit: Your makeup at the end was gorgeous!!
Alexandria, you should buy a giant pack of those cheap foam eyeshadow wands and another giant pack of doe foot applicators, and one of those UV toothbrush sanitizers. Then you can swatch those products you aren't sure about with a brand new, unused, UV sterilized applicator and still give the product away because you didn't touch the product in any way. Just an idea.
As an eyeshadow primer person, if you don’t need it don’t use it! I use it because EVERYTHING creases on my lids and eyeshadow primer is the only thing which gives eyeshadow any longevity. But it’s because of my eye shape and having oily skin. Not everyone needs eyeshadow primer and that’s OK! I don’t need highlighter lol
@geniej2378 does the eyeshadow primer really help? My eyelids for some reason get oily way before the rest of my face so my eyeshadow creases stupid fast. I keep debating trying eyeshadow primer but wasn’t sure if it was worth it. Does it make your eyeshadow last noticeably longer?
@@simbanala79 it is a game changer for me! Without it, my oily hooded lids just eat any shadow or concealer or foundation. It’s like I produce my own makeup remover. With primer my shadow and liner last all day. Urban decay is my ride or die but I’ve heard good things about milani.
@@jennigthatonecrazydoglady8100 thank you so much! I’ll go give it a try. Maybe I’ll actually be able to wear eyeshadow for more than a couple hours lol
I have the same problem and for my greasy eyelids the only ones that really works are mac in the tube or wet n wild, also tube. And since wet n wild is a fraction of the price I would go for that. On tiny tube lasts me for almost a year and I use makeup almost daily
@@simbanala79 night and day difference in longevity when I wear eyeshadow primer, you should definitely try it out. I've used Urban Decay primer potion, MAC eyeshadow primer, Smashbox.. they're all similar and do the same thing. You only need a tiny bit (eyelids are small) so a single tube lasts ages (12 or more months of regular use) and why I go for the "higher" end brands - less likely to get faulty packaging.
As someone who is celiac I can verify that I had a reaction to the Origins cleanser. I was dizzy and shaky for the next several hours after using it. But oddly enough it didn't make me break out.
As someone with Celiac disease, yes that product would be a no go. Even if you don't have a form of Celiac disease that reacts topically, anything you put on your body has some chance to be ingested. It is something that has made me frustrated for quite a while that the cosmetics products don't have to put what allergens they contain. I can't even tell you how many companies I have had to Email to see if I could use a product. And often if I ask they say it'll ba safe because it shouldn't be ingested, like they're just gonna ignore that some people have skin issues when coming into contact with gluten. I get itchy but thankfully no rash or hives. As my doctor told me, better to be safe and avoid products with gluten than be sorry for it later.
Love your Ipsy/Boxy Charm rants! They should ALL put a price list in the box! You always make it fun and entertaining, regardless of the product. Thanks!!
I have a friend who used to be a professional makeup artist and she always said that if you emphasise the eyes, with for example bright colours, or a deep smokey look, you should put a more natural colour on the lips to make your eyes look bigger, and viceversa. The pink lipstick perfectly sets off your look and makes your eyes look great .
I don't have celiac disease, but I do have gluten sensitivity. I found out a few years ago not to use skin care that has wheat protein in it. I tried the Estè Lauder skin care in the blue packaging and my face blew up like a dang blowfish 🐡! I read ingredients now!
You hit the nail on the head when you said maybe Ipsy just kept charging your card until it went through. They have definitely done that to me before. Cause I can tell you that unless those are PR, they aren't giving out free ipsy boxes
To answer your question about the wheat: YES! Someone with a wheat allergy or gluten intolerance (or even Celiacs disease), can definitely have a reaction to them! I’ve had a mild allergic reaction to the Olaplex line (I normally have no issue with wheat in skin/hair care, but my scalp was having a bad day and was extra dry/itchy, and I had some tiny scratches on my scalp, which are always more sensitive) a few months ago, for reference. 😅 I still use it, just because (again) topicals don’t typically give me issues and my hair sucks without it. Lol
I got a full Natasha Denona pallet this month.. The retro one and it is fabulous! Ipsy/boxycharm actually got better IMO since the merge.. I dropped boxycharm last year but I do enjoy having Ipsy/BC now..❤
ooo yes!! Please try that foundation! I always see the ads for it and wondered if it works as well as they say. A "trying everything from ads" video would be really fun!
Because they have so many variations of the boxes, I can understand the challenge of making a matching card for each box. But I can imagine creating a little info card for each product and including those when they assemble the boxes much more easily. It would also allow them to manage product substitutions easily. But I think they are just reducing labor and costs to increase profit. I don't think they care about customer experience at all.
Tresluce is pronounced like the english words tress (with a rolled r) and loose with A (like the letter) at the end. Becky G said its a combo of Tres for her fav number (3) and Luce which literally means shine but is often used to say something looks good on someone.
With the cards it would be a lot to print personalized cards for each box since there are so many options for the box. They did it at one point for the glam bag x and it was a small newspaper type thing because they had to print all the products. Boxycharm was able to print the cards because they had preset variations. Also must people that have Ipsy go and make their choices at the beginning of the month so they already know what they are getting and can see the prices while choosing.
I googled it for you. Yes people allergic to wheat react to the wheat protein. And you can get a reaction from not only food but also cosmetic products and things alike.
Hi, sweet girl, I thought you canceled that subscription? I still think you should just go shopping & buy what you really like & want! I would love to see your stores & what you sale in them! I love watching your videos, you’re so stinkin cute! Hugs!❤️
Celiac CAN have reactions to products with wheat/wheat protein in them. It depends on the tolerance/intolerance for each person. Personally I don’t really have a problem with them, although I do avoid products that are not wash off products that may have that in them
Yup, my friend with celiac can't wear a lot of nail polishes even. I can relate in a very minor way because I'm (skin and ingestion) allergic to natural peppermint and it's often in things like toothpaste and lotion that don't disclose things beyond saying "flavors" or "scents" so I can't know if what I'm smelling is artificial or is going to hurt me.
Alex I feel the same way I feel if they can put that little card in there that can print out what each product is worth and what it is about,. I heard that JLo's beauty is not getting as much attention as other people's beauty products. So I guess they're putting it in boxes now so people will try it and maybe buy it.😊❤
You have made my whole month with all the videos! I just love you and I feel you down here in Tennessee lol I'm on the KY state line myself.. The glitter comment 😂 "Glitter is the Herpes of the Art world!!!" 0:52 The IL makiage concealer is AMAZING!!!
I love when you do try-ons not that you need makeup to look beautiful. I prefer a dark pink or red lip becaause my lips are colorless (is that a word) and nude shades don't work for me. I rarely see an unboxing that has prices or any paperwork on their products. You have to scan the code. I want paperwork in my hand. Always look forward tto your videos. Love ya ❤❤
I honestly think they don't do the card anymore because they want you to utilize the app maybe. But I actually think those products were pretty nice! Love the video you're the best!
To respond to your celiac wheat question… it depends. Some people with celiacs have skin reactions however many don’t. Most people I know with celiacs avoid gluten in face and hand products just to be certain there are no accidental contamination, but I personally think everyone with celiacs should avoid it in lip products and hand soap but that’s my opinion. We avoid gluten in all skin items for my daughter who has celiacs because she’s very reactive and has a skin reaction to it as well. However my friend with celiacs doesn’t avoid it on the skin and doesn’t have any issues.
Girl, let me first say, I absolutely love your videos. Usually, your rants are completely spot on with how I feel especially with Ipsy/boxy. I got so fed up with them that I cancelled all my boxy when they merged into one. Unfortunately, I couldn’t concentrate, because I kept seeing your palms of your hands,. From past videos, I assume happened is from self tanning. You’ve got to get yourself some gloves, mits, or something to apply the tanning! Love, you, totally not meaning to be mean!
I use the Il Makiage foundation and I love it so far! At first I tried it by itself but noticed it was settling into my pothole-sized pores so I got their primer and it made a huge difference! Unfortunately, my face is awful shape but the foundation evens it out and helps hide the flaws. I don't get a full day of wear out of it but that's my only complaint. That pallet was beautiful- I might have to see if I can order one!
I’d love if you did a review of the Il Makiage foundation. I’ve been thinking if getting it but it’s expensive and unless it really is the best thing ever, it’s not worth it to me. I’d definitely watch a series of like “TikTok made me buy it”
I was very disappointed with it. Very cakey even when I sheered it out as much as possible. It didn’t match my skin even though I answered the quiz as accurately as possible. Very heavy on the face. Everyone I know who got it is not too jazzed about it.
Honey that look is stunning on you! I actually loved the nudey pink lipstick from Tresluce on you as well but maybe with a different eye look because the final lips were even better but overall completely stunning ❤
I’m sitting here watching you un box pink Ipsy boxes while saying Boxycharm 😂 oml im so glad I canceled almost 2 years ago now 😯 Don’t miss ieither of them one bit.
The Tresluće eye primer is AMAZING ❤ You only need the TINIEST AMOUNT, I roll a lil bit off the doe foot on the top of my hand and use it. It helps even out my eyelids, cover any discoloration and it's sticky long enough to hold shimmers, glitters, duo chrome & mattes (all the textures 😅). Def should try it, it'll last forever too ❤
I use the Il Makiage foundation and concealer and I really like it. Their mascara is nice too. First time I've seen one of their products in a sub box.
Omgoodness!! Yes!! I really enjoyed having boxy separate. Ipsy for some stuff boxy for others. The surprise of boxys items was cool. The prices for sales were better also. Imo. I'm seeing items on ipsy sales left over from boxy sales ( I assume) but like double the price, after year/s on boxy.
I wish i got those lippies. Those are my colors! They are the colors i wish they'd give me, but i always get dark colors I'll never wear. And i wish i got the eye primer. I never wear eye shadow without primer. It makes a HUGE difference. Especially with my aging skin.
Hey Alexandria! Make sure to check the name of both the pallets on the boxes. There was two different IL MAKIAGE neutral palettes featured in the boxes and add ons. This look is beautiful 🤩 on you as always. Thanks for sharing your boxes 📦 ♥️
I am actually really enjoying my ipsay bag and the BC by Ipsy box. Especially if you go to the app in time to chose your products. I took a loooong break from boxes and I'm just a few months in, but I've really been loving the Ipsys lately!
I got that same eyeshadow quad and honestly it’s amazing. For a basic color quad the shadows are pretty much perfect, very pigmented no fallout and easy to blend. Silky smooth.
Wish I didn’t need eye primer . I think it would be good if you did a series of doing a make up look with all the products you have recieved in boxes then you can try new things you must have lots from boxes you get . Just an idea
Love the look u created! Both boxes were good. Nothing out of this world. Good items! U look stunning! Ty for sharing both Boxycharm boxes & the tryon! ❤❤
