Hi guys! I hope you are having a good day! So.....these unboxing are a bit late...like by a year lol. ButI still wanted to unbox them to get a first impression of what they are like. Let me know what you guys think about these boxes! Are they worth it? I hope you are doing well! Love ya! 💖
Mia Elizabeth love ya
I love you
I'm trying ipsy because I like your videos and want to see what I get
@Mia Elizabeth Thank you so much!
@@Official_kirak Love ya!
$44 for a crooked eyeshadow quad.... Made me a lil bit uncomfortable
I thought the Ipsy box was only $25? That's the one the crooked eyeshadow quad was in, but still fuck that. Lol
@@Sweetliltulip yes it's a monthly subscription for $25 but the original price of the eyeshadow alone is $44.
Sabrina Marin damn that’s cheap because boxyluxe is 49.99
But the Ipsy plus is more like boxycharm instead of boxyluxe because You get 100$+value with Ipsy plus AND boxycharm (boxycharm is 21$ a month) but you get 250$++ worth of products in the boxyluxe every 3 months (with each season You get a new box)
I got the blue eyeshadow quad. The Lancôme blush I got that in Gold. Same 111Skin Vitamin C, Farah Brushes and the Estée Lauder In Envy as well!
I saw that crooked pallete and my eye twitched. That would bother me everytime i opened it.
Same! The wrinkle on the outside and the crooked pans. I'd de-stash it so fast!
It looks so sloppy to me. I understand they did it on purpose, but I would just assume that somebody slapped it in the pan crooked in a hurry, not paying attention because that's how bad it looks.
I totally would not be able to handle that one. I started twitching too!
No thanks on crooked eyeshadow.
@@julieholmes5491 yes!! I have OCD & I just can't! I get they want to be diff, so as soon as you see something like that you know it's that brand. However, a LOT of ppl can't stand things like that & will not buy your products because it gives them anxiety. That's a hard pass for me too.
If the pan wasn’t crooked there could be 2 more shades
Danielle Hutchinson exactly what I was thinking!
Or if it wasn’t crooked the pans would be a lot bigger
But then it would cost $66 😂😣
And we can't have that now can we 😆😆😆
you should do a “full face of full size products i bought because of subscription box samples” video! i feel like this would be a different way of measuring a subscription box’s worth, as compared to the numerical value of the box! xoxo
Julianna Muise OMG YES PLEASE
This ^
That’s a great video idea.
Maybe it's me but I can't imagine needing to buy a full size anything ever with how many boxes she specifically gets. Maybe 'Full face of Products I Would Totally Buy Fullsize If I Didn't Spend All of My Makeup Budget on Subscription Boxes'. Lol.
Ohh that being crooked would bother me...
Becky C right!!! Why?! Why?!?! Hahah
Same... my ocd can't handle it
IKR? My mind was like D:!!!!!!!!!! when I saw it.
I couldn’t even keep that in my collection if I saw that 😂😂😂
Becky C same!!
Nevermind crooked, they're fricking TINY!
I’m excited you unboxed these together. I love the ability to directly compare. And those meals actually look really legit!
I've been getting Home Chef for over a year and it is AMAZING!!
Pyt straightener really is 75 on their website...full sized straighteners are 300-500...that's flippin crazy
Janet Perkins totally. I got the mini in my box and even though I have crazy thick hair, it works wonderfully on my baby bangs. But I wouldn’t pay more than 20-25$ for it. But I dig it
@@jenzerr8856 i got mine in my reagular boxy charm as well...i gave it to my daughter...my hair is really long and really thick...no way i could use it on my hair...it's just too small...but my 10 yr old loves it...
I got a full-sized one for a $100 cad
It better come with a person who straightens my hair for me at that price.
@@markwillams420 right... and it didn’t even work that good. I gave it away
Cooking with Alexandria needs to be a thing❤️
Kendyll Pavel yes
I agree wholeheartedly. Lol
Yes I so agree!
yessss!!!!
Absolutely!
I loved your cooking portion 😂 I appreciate how you made your sponsor part really entertaining and not horrible to listen to like other youtubers do!
Yeah 2 in a week!!! Dont feel bad about the Interlewd palette. That bothers me too.
Im going to try to keep them coming!
Oh my lord you responded...I might have squealed a lil bit.
The packaging is so bizarre 😂
That crooked eye shadow was so weird. I don't see the point of that!?! They wasted so much room
Can u do a blind folded unboxing where you try to guess the items in it
That could be fun!
Omg you replied I love you so much
Alicia April Perrillo yep
OXkira_ BreeXO oh my gosh yes! Maybe she will have to guess more "viscose" now that she knows what that feels like!! 😂😂
Please use the box cutter before you blindfold yourself 😎
So the tiny crooked quad costs the same as the Violet Voss palette? Alrighty then.
😂 right!
My week just keeps getting better!!! Had my sister in laws baby shower,I get to watch my favorite UA-camr,and my nephew is being born tomorrow so I'll not only be the aunt of a precious little one year old girl,but also the aunt of a precious newborn baby boy!!! I hope you have a great week and thank you for making my day💕💕💕
I had to rewatch her saying “glam af” so many time 🤣🤣🤣
Same here!
Same !! 😂😂😂
I can't remember how I stumbled across you but honey I'm glad I did. You make me smile so much and I am just as clumsy as you! xxx
right? my exact sentiments too! lol
I received that Nick Cage pillow for Christmas and it is so damn amazing.
That crooked eyeshadow gave me a little anxiety.
Omg yess
“Ooh smells like my grandma.” And glam af and figuring out what that charger is had me cracking up
I normally scroll through comments while watching the unboxings and OMG I'm so early that there's no comments yet. 😂😅
I LOVE all your videos.
Raeley Vanderpool p
I have been BINGING your videos for like a week now. Your personality is so infectious and wholesome 💛💛
Can you do, like, a Cooking with Alexandria series? I loved that so much.
I know it was just for the ad, but I really enjoyed the mini cooking show
Wouldn't IPSY Glambag Plus and Boxycharm, be a better comparison?? Jw
Girl I die every time you say Viet-Ma-nees!!! Love seeing you cook you should do this more often!!! I would love to see vlogs!
I love boxycharm and just upgraded to boxyluxe but one thing that has always bothered me is i feel boxyluxe products should be exclusive and not in the regular box aswell..but anyways so far so good
New year new videos from Alexandria! So excited for a year of you! Time to hit 500K!!!!
I always think that I would even enjoy watching you unbox your groceries and I did. I am on the waitlist for the glam bag plus. I have also been considering getting the boxy charm and boxy luxe. I already get FitFabFun and Ipsy so it will just be a choice of which one would be best for me. I do appreciate these videos because it helps me to see what kind of things you are getting and then I can see which one would have more of the type of things I enjoy.
i got boxyluxe and love everything but that portable charger it’s a dud! everyone is having problems with it! some exploded thankfully mine didn’t sad that people had theirs exploded. it also doesn’t hold charge at all and basically boxy isn’t really doing anything about it. i saw one girl got an email saying that boxy will give her 500 charms for the inconvenience!
Charms ?
Jp Lang it’s for boxy charm when you receive your box you’ll be able to write reviews online on what products you got and you’ll receive “charms” that you can buy things in the charm room which is an online store thing
Rian Taylor yessssss! That charger was a dud! And I am not having any success in getting a new one or a replacement item!
Erika Gilbreath it’s such a shame! i was actually really excited for it while people didn’t like it! but i have portable chargers that work better than that crappy one!
I got charms once and tried redeeming them for a product and never received it, and I tried emailing them about it and they said they didn’t have the order anywhere .-.
I love the luxie set too. I already had the the flat paintbrush one that I love for lining my eyes so now I have one for my travel bag. Also, the flat angled precision contour one is life. It's now in my primary rotation as well. I agree the more brushes, the less often you need to clean.
I was rewatching an old Ipsy vs Ipsy vs Ipsy when I saw the notification! Clicked off so fast to watch this one! Love your videos Alexandria! Sending love from the UK! 💚
Hello from Arizona! Love your videos especially your honesty and not editing out some of your confusion - love the honesty especially since I get confused on things myself! I agree about the price of the straightener. I even went on the company website and about died when I saw that not only are the mini straighteners really $75 but the full size ones range from $300-$500. I can think of about 300-500 things that I rather do with that kind of money!
You are one of my favorite youtubers - can watch your videos for hours on end!
Yay for sponsors!!!!! So happy for you!!
Well I just snorted at the Nic Cage sequin pillow. 😂
😍😍😍 always catching myself watching your videos for hours. Sending love from Nashville. You crack me up. I had to pause the video to look at that first pallet. I was so confused.
hannah nans yay Nashville squad!
I mirror your opinion regarding makeup brushes...the best is when you are about to give in and finally clean your brushes and you find a few clean hidden ones... awesome
That crooked eye shadow I didn't open it up I gave it to my friend because I watched someone video & my anxiety got worse. Thank you for sharing xoxo
I would have to say that BoxyLuxe is the winner here. Even though it is more expensive the products were fabulous. I don’t think one thing caught my eye in the Ipsy GBP but the Luxie brush set and the Violet Voss palette made BoxyLuxe for me. I’m so glad you decided to unbox these two in the same video..another awesome unboxing!! Congratulations on the Home Chef sponsorship!!🎊🎉👩🏻🍳 I’m so proud of you..you totally deserve this and SOOOOO much more!! Hope you’re feeling better. Love you, Alexandria!!💖😘 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I wear glasses do you have any tips for keeping makeup from coming off on the nose of the glasses thanks
Stephanie Lange did a makeup w/glasses video that shared some pretty good tips. If you like Alexandria, I think you will enjoy her channel, too.
imperfecttimes thanks I will go check her out
I ❤️ Ipsy Glam Bag Plus ❤️❤️ Just an FYI....they did a survey asking what we would prefer. So no more makeup bags in Plus (which was 1 each quarter). In place of those 4 bags, we will be getting higher quality products & some months 6 products. In Jan. we have 6 products coming since it's the month we would have gotten the bag. Would Love to see vids on this box every month. Have a great day ❤️❤️❤️
fun fact: today is nicolas cage's birthday! just thought I'd share lol
Love him
I love getting the mini straightner. I have medium length hair on the thinner side. We stayed over night and instead of bring my big iron I brought the small one and it worked great for traveling and works for straightening my hair. So glad I got one, we have a two week trip in the spring and I'll be bring the small iron because I'll be on 3 different flights. So packing less is better.
Hi Alexandria! I just wanted to say thank you for making videos, you are so inspiring and funny. Ilysm
Thats very sweet of you!
When I was cutting up carrots and celery to eat with hummus, my boyfriend was upstairs ordering a 5 lb. box of peppermint patties. I totally thought of you. Here you are cutting veggies today! Worlds collide. I'm not sure about the Ipsy Plus, except for the skin care, which looked amazing. The eyeshadow palette was like a bad dream. I bet once it gets rolling, it will improve, so I am going to wait a bit before upgrading.
Your makeup is always on point! 👌🏻 You should start doing some tutorials! ❤️
I just watched this "year late unboxing" a year late and I still enjoyed it. LOL (its never too late to unbox a subscription box ;-) thanks for sharing.
Hmm the brands in the Ipsy box I like, but they seem to be odd colors the brand may not sell many of so they stick em in a sub box (of course that's a subjective opinion haha)😏 I liked most everything in the Boxycharm though, so that one would be worth it to me.
Seriously try that Le Monochromatique on your cheeks! I'm super pale and got the same shade and it's been my go-to blush for the last month! I was shocked how well it blended and how beautiful it was. It definitely needs a light touch or you can definitely overdo it, but it gives a wonderful "glow from within" effect 😍
I would love to get a food subscription now that it's just my husband and me... I might try this one😀😀👍👍
you should try hellofresh, it's amazing
www.hellofresh.com?c=MJBURNH&
Marcy Yount yes!!! Hello Fresh is AMAZING 😉 the customer service is so good, the meals are fantastic, I consider myself a pretty good cook but using Hello Fresh has taught me so much about how to build flavors it is also so convenient. I absolutely cannot tell you how relieved I am to know that there is a box full of food sitting at my back door on Friday evening when I get off work. No running to the store, no trying to figure out what I am going to cook. It’s so flexible in that you can skip weeks if you need to, you can choose from a wonderful variety of meals and schedule the day of your delivery that works best for you. Also it is so well packed that if you are late getting home no worries 😉 they guarantee the freshness until midnight the day of delivery. I love Blue Apron as well but far fewer choices. I did not love Plated. Plated has great customer service but I know this because every box I received from Plated had some kind of issue. I also did not care for Plated side dishes so much. There were a few outstanding meals but Hello Fresh knocks it out of the park. I did not try Home Chef because I only shop on line with prepaid Visa cards because I don’t like my bank information floating around out there and Home Chef doesn’t accept prepaid cards. These are my experiences. Hope you love it if you give it a whirl.
Girl when you paused to explain the portable phone charger and said “it’s like a caveman discovering fire” I started dying laughing! You’re so down to earth and funny! Love this channel!
My head will hurt having that kind of eye shadow, I thought the case was melted because it's soo messy LOL
Whenever you doubt the listed "actual price" of an item you received, just Google it! I looked up the PYT mini straightener, and it really is $75..
I keep rewinding to when you say “spongellé” 😂😂😂
Just lost my nephew on Christmas eve and watching your videos makes me smile even for 5 min.. thank u
Love the Ipsy Plus Box!!! Have a great rest of your week!
The whole idea with the crooked palette and the dented package is they believe there is beauty in things that are not perfect. I love thier idea. Because it helps to show you don't have to be perfect (because no one is) to be beautiful.
Three skin... well I’m glad they didn’t send you foreskin heehee
Right! Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Jenn Kerr I just died! LOL
I scrolled to find this... He he he.. We are adults..
Lmao! 😂
The Elemis pro-collagen marine cream is a premium UK brand, it is used on the Cunard cruise liners & up market spas as well as being sold in Harvey Nichols & online on QVC & FeelUnique. It is well loved by the UK beauty community. In the UK it costs £85 for 50ml. It’s very good, you should try it. Xx
I always think Ipsy is worth it. 💖
I double checked the hair straightener and it is indeed $75 on the pyt website. Their full size straighteners are $300. I can’t imagine spending that much! Glad I got one in my boxyluxe too to try it out.
Honestly? A bit underwhelmed by the IPsy😂
jess mckenzie agreed! like boxycharm still wows me so much more so far and it's still cheaper for the usual monthly box. boxyluxe blows the glam bag plus out of the water!
Same here. I would much rather have the boxycharm than the ipsy glam bag plus.
TBH last month was underwhelming, but the month before that I loooved it! I honestly use the It Cosmetics palette way more often than I thought I would.
@@XxaeriegirlxX boxyluxe and ipsy plus shouldn't really be compared though (Alexandria wasnt, i know this). Its like how people do the "Versus" videos: birchbox vs ipsy, or ipsy vs ipsy. They are still in the same price range, but boxyluxe and ipsy plus arent in the same price range. It seems a bit unfair. Sure they are both upgrades to a regular subscription, but one is pricier and comes with more products.
Just my take on it, I mean no offense or anything like that ❤
PinkFreud 89 i agree! i still think that ipsy glam bag plus has not wowed me even in comparison to the regular boxycharm. especially with it being more expensive than boxycharm! i more meant in my original comment that, deciding between which of the 2 boxes i would purchase, boxyluxe is my choice! i just can't afford to buy both and ipsy glam bag plus just isn't better than boxycharm imo! ❤️
Noooooooo! The crinkled crooked eyeshadow would drive me BONKERS! But that Big pallette from the Boxyluxe is GORGEOUS.
I'm a new subscriber but girl....I'm obsessed. You rock don't ever change (that is a Lizzie McGuire reference)
I started watching because I thought you were unboxing this month. But I stayed because I have forgotten half the stuff I got last month. I got my ipsy plus today and it is PHENOMENAL! but I will wait for your January unboxing to tell you what I got
Love your "math doin' machine" 😄😍😄 totally adorable
With the ipsy brushes and the stippling brush, it works great with the haute cotoure Lancome product to help get a small wash of color on your cheeks
Plss update on how that mascara works, looking for a new one
Marie Marie that mascara is the WORST in my opinion. It literally did nothing for my lashes. But I’m spoiled on TF better than sex. Sooo 🤷🏼♀️ could just be me but I hated it
Mikali Engle thank youu, wont be buying then ☠️
Marie Marie except I hate TF Better Than Sex mascara. My current fave is Flower Beauty Warrior mascara.
You might do things late, but here I am, totally addicted to your channel since 3 weeks and commenting on a video from a year ago...so....Happy that I found the original Cooking with Alexandria!!!
I saw the notification and was like "Okey dokey let get right into it" 😂 ily ❤️
This is my first time watching one of your videos & I automatically just love you! Had me cracking up the WHOLE time! Thank you for being so unapologetically YOU!!
It cracked me up when you said vietmanese instead of Vietnamese 😂
Glam bag plus and boxyluxe have not been out for a year. Try September for boxy and August I think for Ipsy. Sorry I’m a stickler for time line and erks me when you tubers over exaggerates dramatically. But on the flip I’m so happy you FINALLY got these boxes cos I love your unboxings and your silliness. Now I can compare my boxes to yours and share your excitement!! ♥️ ♥️ oh and by the way...that 111skin booster is amazing!! I mix it in with my moisturizer!
Please do more cooking videos, it was fun to watch!
If you upgrade to boxyluxe you will get the regular box for 2 months and on the 3rd month You get the luxe box BUT do if they put products from the old boxycharm boxes in it that means you’ll be getting doubles a lot? I hope that isn’t the case because I just upgraded!!
Love your videos, which box is better. Boxycharm or Ipsy
Thank you! I think out of the two I unboxed in this video I would pick Boxycharm but it is also double the price of Ipsy.
@@Alexandria-Ryan Thanks for the information, I think I just made my mind to which box subscribe, 😉
The Boxyluxe was twice as much, but it had 9 or 10 items in it compared to the 5 items in the ipsy glam bag plus.
I loved you going out of your comfort zone and trying something new. I enjoyed it.
Get on the pyt website. They're expensive.
When I found out we were getting the straightener in the luxe box, I googled the brand and their regular straighteners so expensive.
Love the cooking “intermission”! Way to spice up the unboxing! The kebabs look tasty! Keep it up!
I love your channel so much! You manage to sound calm and collected but also bubbly and cute. I find monthly makeup bags interesting so I'm glad you talk about them. Even your room is aesthetically pleasing
I loved my boxyluxe 🤗
I loved "Cooking with Alexandria" - the music and your little antics cracked me up! I think you should do more of them! Love all your unboxings! You're so sweet and a just a joy to watch! 💕💕💕
🖤🖤2 videos in a row. This is a great week. 🖤🖤
Their late and I’m still watching because I love your unboxings.. you keep my attention
:0 I feel like a newborn baby I'm so early to the video
I watched the boxy charm unbound thriftthick did. She ended up getting two different eyeshadow palettes instead. The lippe was a different color as well. It's always interesting to see the differences.
Did you eat all your candy yet?
Not yet! I am trying to be better haha
Now I want candy lol
@@candicelorenzo5638 I always want candy
Oh my gosh that looked so freaking incredible!! Shane Dawson loves sugarfina so you know it's good!!!
I wish I had your energy and good vibes. What a great smile 😊 . Thanks for the video.
You made me laugh with cave men encountering fire for the first time!
I you're keeping your 3 reg. Ipsy bags, maybe it would be fun to do an Ipsy vs Boxy each month since they are around the same price & should have full size products !!!!!! Have a fantastic week Allie ❤️❤️❤️
you are 100% the best makeup youtuber
I have short thin hair so mini flat irons are perfect! $70 is still way to much. Even if you have longer hair they are nice for traveling and for touch ups if you don’t have hard to manage hair :)
Rebecca Daughtry I have crazy thick hair and actually dig this little thing! Hahaha
I love your personality I had to subscribe 😂
The flat irons are very nice. My natural hair is curly/coily and it straightened it pretty well.
Funny, the ipsy prices seemed way more inflated to me. That pallet with 4 shadows cost about the same as that giant one from BoxyLuxe. Girl, bye. Lol.
Awesome! Luke smells everything too, its his thing. I quit asking him why. 😂 I have tried signing up for Ipsy plus on all three of my accounts and never gotten it yet. Now, I am just over it. I love my boxyluxe! Getting it for my mom.
Boxyluxe for the win no doubt!
I wasn’t very thrilled with the Ipsy Plus. The little palette made me crazy looking at it! I got the blue version. It’s still in the box 😂 I’ll more than likely donate it. The only thing I’ll use are the brushes and the skin care. I like BoxyLux much better. I got another palette instead of the straightener. (I chose the palette when they emailed us) This was only the 2nd BoxyLux Box , they just talked about it for a long time before it was available. Love ya 😘💕
