Lissstte Feb 05, 2017 at 4:03 pm

I just received my box 4 days ago and it was not in my box ? I got nail polish and Manna gloss instead bummer had my hopes in getting one of these eyeshadow palette !

Megan mkown is that you???

I received my box, but it did take longer than usual but probably due to the holidays. I also did not get the palette, which was one of the main reasons why I even ordered the box! I do love the other items and feel that the cost was very justified, and everything was exactly the same except for the Nude Eyeshadow palette, which bummed me out. Any possible way to order it? Thanks!

Everyone seems to receive there box and I haven't got mine yet. I paid for the VIP $179.00 AND STILL WAITING ON IT. I hope that I get the palette in my box

kimmerkujawa Jan 15, 2017 at 8:47 pm

I just received the editor box and no palette, why?

Kevin Jan 15, 2017 at 11:59 am

Got my box right before Christmas. I didn't get an eyeshadow in it. Just wondering.

Amanda Jan 14, 2017 at 8:08 pm

I don't mind that I didn't get it though. I did get some nice stuff that I do use...the candle is amazing!! And so is the mascara I received! A few items weren't me but that's alright. I just gifted them for xmas this past year. I received my winter box in December. When does the spring box come out? Just wondering

Amanda Jan 14, 2017 at 7:56 pm

I didn't get a palette in my winter box.

smsosa1 Jan 14, 2017 at 7:45 pm

Me too

ouillette4 Jan 14, 2017 at 7:03 pm

I agree--I got a $9 nail polish verses a $50 eye shadow pallet--extremely disappointed!!

dtoedman Jan 14, 2017 at 12:10 pm

I just got my box on the 12th and the eye pallets was in the box along with the polish !! Love them both and hope all who order receive these . I ordered on New Year's Eve and order the Editors box

Marcia Kight Jan 14, 2017 at 5:41 am

I got the editors box and the eye shadow was there.

Fitfabfive Jan 14, 2017 at 4:15 am

Agree! 2 year subscriber here- and this company has THE BEST customer service-

Elaine Novak Jan 14, 2017 at 2:58 am

I wasn't very impressed with my first box, winter. I will give it another cycle and decide whether or not to cancel. I don't use many of the items. Gave them away.

Andrea Jan 14, 2017 at 2:28 am

Lol! I did get the pallete in the editors box. Fabfitfun is a great box with great value. If you don't like it because you didn't get 1 item then unsubscribe! There were a few different bonus items and not everyone got the same one. FYI it's good to research before jumping into a subscription. That info could have helped you.

Andrea Jan 14, 2017 at 2:28 am

It was included in my editors box. There were a few different bonus options that came in it, so not everyone got the same bonus item.

Alexandra Jan 14, 2017 at 2:10 am

Hey just wanted to meet u guys know that the shadow palette doesn't come in winter box. I've been a subscriber for over a year! It all has a total value way over the 50 u pay for it. Stop complaining. Nothing was taken out of ur boxes. If u don't like the subscription then don't pay for it. This is the best subscription box I get!

lindstar@hotmail.com Jan 14, 2017 at 2:06 am

The palette was in the Fall box. Which was sent out in September. The planner ($21) and the lotion ($24) alone was practically worth the price of the box. The candle ($45), notes ($24), the necklace ($75), Butter London mascara ($20), and the face peel ($44) were your added value. That face peel was worth it for me. If you consider the perceived value of the items ($21, $15, $15, $12, $35, $20, $35 respectively) you are still are getting well over $100 worth of stuff for $50.

Arlene Jan 14, 2017 at 1:01 am

Hi , the palette was placed in other boxes ( fall ?) but the editors box , which you will get if you ordered after December 7, only had the eyeshadow in a few boxes that went out!! Therefore, if you got it / get it it is the luck of the draw. I got the editors box which looks like all the pictures I have seen so far minus the eyeshadow and I can say that I am not disappointed

Donna Jan 13, 2017 at 11:54 pm

I didn't get the palette either in my winter box. I received 4 nail polishes that I'll regift. Just ordered the editors box....I hope I get what I saw!

ocalarose Jan 13, 2017 at 11:48 pm

I use bleach when I clean my kitchen and bathrooms. No matter how careful I am, I get small white spots on my clothing. I found that I can take eyeshadow and work into the fabric and the white spot disappears. Not a permanent fix but will allow you to keep wearing the item that was damaged.

Melanie Jan 13, 2017 at 11:47 pm

No I got a nail polish in mine instead of this so don't count on it

Megan Jan 13, 2017 at 11:40 pm

Ladies, I wouldn't worry too much. This palette is a cheaper quality Naked palette wannabe. We've got the palette in our BoxyCharm and no one seems to like it due to the lack of pigment. I will say that it would be good for a beginner since it's very forgiving and you really have to build up the pigment or wet your brush for the shimmer shades. It's hard to believe the value of this palette is $50! Kathleen Lights on YouTube agrees that it's not good quality. If you want to spend the money, go for the actual Naked palette from Urban Decay. You will be thanking me later. :) I wish I could be saying otherwise right now. I LOVE makeup SO much, and would LOVE to LOVE all makeup :) However, this palette just missed the mark. :( xoxo

Jodi Jan 13, 2017 at 11:12 pm

I too, was so disappointed. Do we get a refund if we ordered for the year and now want to cancel?

dlynn2631 Jan 13, 2017 at 9:57 pm

I just received my first box, the editor's box and I didn't get the eyeshadow and was hoping for it. It probably wasn't in very many boxes, my daughter just got her first box too and we had the very same items, same colors and everything. It was all nice things even though we didn't get exactly what we may have wanted. Looking forward to the spring box!!

angelafox15 Jan 13, 2017 at 9:49 pm

I signed because of the numerous ads showing the palette - which was NOT in the editors box. I feel like this was a bait and switch advertising promotion that is a violation of the uniform commercial code for false advertising. It was extremely misleading! I will not be ordering anything further as their are many legitimate companies that do not do business in this deceptive way.

Kristina Jan 13, 2017 at 9:25 pm

I received the palette in the editor's box.

Cyndi Jan 13, 2017 at 9:22 pm

Hi. New subscriber here and I received my first box..the Winter box. It did not have the makeup palette. It had a candle, some cream, a small planner, notes with envelopes. Certainly not the stated value. I'm concerned things were removed prior to me receiving the package!! Please advise, Kindly, C

Jennifer Jan 13, 2017 at 8:50 pm

I found another use for the black! I used it as "eye black" when I dressed up as a baseball player for Halloween! And since I used good eye shadow, I had no breaking out on my cheeks!

pillinglorraine Jan 13, 2017 at 8:46 pm

When will I receive my winter box

mmascardo86 Jan 13, 2017 at 8:07 pm

It is not part of the winter box. It is part of the fall box, which is no longer available. Of course you can purchase it online. Check the fff store, or just google pur cosmetics, and you will find sites to order it from.

elfiemcmurren Jan 13, 2017 at 7:29 pm

Received the palette & I LOVE IT! Use as eyeliner, lip stain & illuminator. ?????

Christina Jan 13, 2017 at 7:11 pm

From all the adds it was almost implied that the palette would be in the Editors box. Very disappointed that it wasn't included ?

Alison Jan 13, 2017 at 6:52 pm

I received the pallette in the Fall box not the Winter Box It is identical to the Naked 2 pallette by Urban Decay and that can be bought via Urban Decay or Sephora

Katie Jan 13, 2017 at 6:42 pm

I did not get inmt in my winter box either.

Lori Lacasse Jan 13, 2017 at 6:39 pm

I didn't get the palette in my winter box either :(

Nancy Jan 13, 2017 at 6:21 pm

I got the winter box and that was not in it. Can we order it?

smithers.erica Jan 13, 2017 at 6:21 pm

I got the box, and didn't get the palette, super disappointed:(

Karen Jan 13, 2017 at 6:16 pm

Hey Kim..The pur cosmetic nude palette was in the winter box only. If the winter box is still available and not sold out it will be the box you receive. If the Winter box is sold out its like you're considered in between season so you'll get the typical "welcome box" which won't have the palette in it. There's a small chance after you place an order that the palette is available in their "add ons" but I'm not sure

Kimberly Johnson Jan 13, 2017 at 3:59 am

I would like the pur cosmetics nude collection. Will that definitely come in my box if I order . ?
