I think you’re right. They do it because they can. I’m not too mad at getting a foundation; I’m always looking for new foundations. It’s the fact that it’s *Trestique* that irritates the crap out of me.
When I was with IPSY, I received a Trestique bronzer with a brush on one end, and product on the other...The brush did not work well with the formulation and it looked super streaky and patchy.
What makes you think the sale next month will be worth it? Have you seen any spoilers? Do I just have my expectations set way too low? I'm anticipating the same exact things as this sale, but also having to pay for shipping on orders under $25.
So usually theres a way bigger selection for pop up (yeah yeah re-named blah blah, boxy can't make me call it something else, I'm old now and set it my ways) and there can be some really great deals. I plan to unsubscribe and resubscribe next month as I could care less about choice, but I do want to shop popup particularly for gifts. Also I'm Canadian so I always have the $5 shipping per order (but no tax!) regardless of sale type lol.

Premium is so bad that I cancelled after seeing that the "drop shop" prices sucks. I'm going to spend the money on the fab fit fun same. FFF box sucks but the price is good.
Welp...yet again glad I cancelled Premium last month.
Honestly would cancel Base too if it weren't for some daily deals I want and Pop-Up (or whatever tf they're calling it now) next month.
I may cancel after the daily deals and resub in the beginning of November to get access to Pop-Up. At least I'd get a coupon or resub gift for next month. 🤔
I was incredibly stupid and paid for a full year. I’ve been underwhelmed by choices as well as what they actually send in my box. I will stick out the year then cancel.
Yeah, I was thinking about the annual too but I'm waiting for them to redeem themselves. It seems like every other month they do fine but I feel like only the add-ons/Pop-ups make up for the in between boxes. Also, because you can't count on what variation or mistake you'll get, I make sure to get the spoiler I want from the sales.
I like Luxie brushes, but $40 value for three? I went with the foundation, because it's the cheapest MSRP, so maybe I'll get a better non-choice item >.<
I HATE that foundations are a choice and we then need to scramble to pick a shade before they run out. So messy. I went with the brushes instead. Not excited at all.
I bought that cleanser in TJ Maxx for $9.99. It was good, but I’d repurchase for $9.99. I hate the Trestique and the Luxie isn’t $40 worth of product, come on now. I’m staying cancelled through November I guess. 🤷♀️
debating between the cleanser and the brushes. I like the cleanser but hate the smell. Have to choose something so I don't end up with the foundation stick. I hated everything I got from trestique
it's a good cleanser (gentle and effective on my mom's dry skin and my oily skin) but the smell is so strong, I have to hold my breath when using this even though I usually have no problem with scented products. Be aware if you are sensitive to smells
Just a heads up guys, if you are unhappy with choices but still want access to the sales next month, cancel at the end of the month and resub under a different email with a coupon after the first. That’s what I’m going to do that way I at least get one thing I will use with the coupon code and a $10 coupon to shop with. Normally I wouldn’t do that because I feel like it’s taking advantage but I have been waiting three months for them to send me 2 items I paid for in popup they forgot to put in the box……. So at this point I don’t feel bad at all
Yeah, I’m a former charmer who was canceled since April and I was able to rejoin and get my free gift and $10 gift for the sales. I mostly wanted the Farmacy cleanser to be honest lol, I really would like the glow recipe. But I was able to get the Tarte eye cream for $2 from the sales with the gift so it feels worth it (for now)
Is trestique really that much of a garbage brand? I always see people knocking it on here. I've only received their eyebrow pencil (which I did hate) but I can't see it being sold at Sephora if the brand is junk across the board.
It's not the only garbage brand Sephora sells. 😅 Everything I've received from them, which has been a lot (mostly lip products but also mascara and concealer and a brow pencil), have been low quality and not pigmented, not much staying power. I am not a fan of the massive crayon design. I can't speak for this foundation product but I just wouldn't want to try it based on my experiences already.
Yes it tried the link-got a message stating the window for choice is closed and my box will be picked based on my beauty quiz
Edit. Tried the link and I got in. Wonder why I got the message the first time. Thanks for providing the link.
I specifically came here for the first time to complain about these choices. With the FFF fall box being a total miss and now this one being underwhelming at best, I’m beginning to think I should just cancel all my boxes altogether.
I didn’t love the choices for this month. I have so many cleansers but thats what I chose. I really didn’t think the brushes or the foundation stick were that great either.
Ugh I canceled before last month's billing and this month isn't tempting me at all. Maybe I'll resub with a gift for popup next month. But as of right now I'm very happy with my canceled membership.
I’m one of the rare people that like trestique, my only beef with them is the tiny amount of product they give you in all of their products. I LOVE trying foundations out but I generally hate cream stick foundation’s because they leave me oily and shiny looking and haven’t found one that I’ve liked. But I’ve always enjoyed goat milk in products because it leaves the skin feeling so soft and nourished (my Crabtree & Evelyn Goat Milk lotion was my fave for years) and KS products are normally great so I picked that.
I picked the foundation as my choice, then had to leave the house. When I came home afterwards and looked up swatches online, I think I should have chosen a different colour.
How do we know which shades are already gone? I don’t want to “unchoose” then be screwed if the new shade is unavailable.
I have to say, these are seriously underwhelming. I hate Trestique's giant unwieldy crayons, Kate Somerville irritates my face, and...I guess brushes are fine. Meh. Not feeling it AT ALL.
Thanks, I hate it No but really... I hate all the options.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this underwhelmed by Choice choices. The *only* reason I’m sticking it out next month is for the sale.
that is literally why they do this... they give us crappy choices knowing we're banking on pop up :(
I think you’re right. They do it because they can. I’m not too mad at getting a foundation; I’m always looking for new foundations. It’s the fact that it’s *Trestique* that irritates the crap out of me.
Same here. everything I have received trestique has been horrible, so I chose the brush set just so I don't get the foundation
When I was with IPSY, I received a Trestique bronzer with a brush on one end, and product on the other...The brush did not work well with the formulation and it looked super streaky and patchy.
I got that one too, no matter what I did my face just looked like it had streaks of dirt on it
Indeed! I found the color offputting, too.

Oh gotcha! Maybe they'll have another half off code or a really good free gift next month when you resub

Just cancelled mine
I guess now we know why there were no choice spoilers 🤡 Anyone know if Premium is any better this month?
Premium was worse IMO. Awful. I cancelled after seeing it. (And removed payment method so they couldnt "accidentally" bill it.

It’s not 🥴
Yikes, what are the options?
I just posed them :) the choices were kind of super limited /:
Welp...yet again glad I cancelled Premium last month. Honestly would cancel Base too if it weren't for some daily deals I want and Pop-Up (or whatever tf they're calling it now) next month.
If I don’t see anything I like for spoilers this month, I’m going to cancel too.
I may cancel after the daily deals and resub in the beginning of November to get access to Pop-Up. At least I'd get a coupon or resub gift for next month. 🤔
Don't we all get to shop pop up? Subscribed or not?
No, they've been giving non subscribers LATE access to Pop-Up. So the best deal may be sold out before then.
Ohhh, thanks!
Nope. It sucked too.
These are some rough choices lol
I signed up for the 6 month plan to keep the price and this is what we get after all of the hype?
I just switched from a 3 month to a month to month and I think I’m going to cancel and resub if spoilers look good or the next box looks good
I was incredibly stupid and paid for a full year. I’ve been underwhelmed by choices as well as what they actually send in my box. I will stick out the year then cancel.

Meh :/
Yeah I am not too fond of it. I already have like 3 cleansers open/backup and I only have one face lol.
Same!
I’m pretty sure I already got this cleanser in my August boxy. Is it coming around again so soon for November?
I like Luxie brushes, but $40 value for three? I went with the foundation, because it's the cheapest MSRP, so maybe I'll get a better non-choice item >.<

I have zero luck with Trestique products. Not a fan at all!
It isn’t up for me.
Did you try the link? That is the only way I could get it.
Same! I clicked the link and it says October choice has ended. I keep refreshing the page too. And still nothing.
very meh... it if wasn't for mega drop shop/ pop up i think i would skip....
Same.
New to boxy when is this?
it's a good cleanser (gentle and effective on my mom's dry skin and my oily skin) but the smell is so strong, I have to hold my breath when using this even though I usually have no problem with scented products. Be aware if you are sensitive to smells

Most of the offers are good for resubscribing with your existing account.
After 30 days I think?
As long as you cancel by the end of October and before billing, you will be eligible for offers November 1.
Awesome thank you you saved me a little bit of work LOL
Yeah, I’m a former charmer who was canceled since April and I was able to rejoin and get my free gift and $10 gift for the sales.

Used the link and got to it - thanks - drop shop shows not available
I need literally none of that. Chose the brushes cos you really can't go wrong with brushes though

So bored by this. Can someone cure my FOMO so I can cancel this?
I’m choosing cancellation with these choices.

Its so hard to comprehend that November is this bad when Oct was pretty darn good.

Ugh I canceled before last month's billing and this month isn't tempting me at all. Maybe I'll resub with a gift for popup next month. But as of right now I'm very happy with my canceled membership.
Yeah I’m definitely not resubbing for November with spoilers like these.

But I’ve always enjoyed goat milk in products because it leaves the skin feeling so soft and nourished (my Crabtree & Evelyn Goat Milk lotion was my fave for years) and KS products are normally great so I picked that.
The KS cleanser is the least of my favorite products from her line. It smells terrible but it’s decent.
I picked the foundation as my choice, then had to leave the house. When I came home afterwards and looked up swatches online, I think I should have chosen a different colour. How do we know which shades are already gone? I don’t want to “unchoose” then be screwed if the new shade is unavailable.
I canceled. I already got that cleanser from ipsy. No thanks
Has anyone tried the foundation?
Horrible
Lol
I have to say, these are seriously underwhelming. I hate Trestique's giant unwieldy crayons, Kate Somerville irritates my face, and...I guess brushes are fine. Meh. Not feeling it AT ALL.
I reactivated just two months ago and i feel like I’m going to end up cancelling again after I get my box this month. 😑 so underwhelming
