Disappointing Beauty Box

Jordan2 · ‎03-16-2010

I wanted to try one of the beauty boxes available and got a Ipsy one which is $10. I have to say I was underwhelmed. It was 5 very small products that I never would have bought. I'm thinking of cancelling it already. Has anyone gotten a beauty box they like or are they all the same?

Oh yes. I discontinued the beauty test tubes (sold here at the Q as well as on their own site) because all the products were too dark for my skin tone.

i bought the ipsy one when it was called something else (cant even remember the name). i kept it up for 6 months and then i gave it up.....there were times that the only thing i liked were the bags. i wasnt impressed.

the only one i have really liked was the beauty tube that is sold on qvc and via their own site, but that one is a lot more expensive. it did have some nice full sized products though. i even gave that one up though, but they keep sending me emails now to join again and get 10 dollars off of my first tube.

I get Ipsy and Birch Box and am canceling both. Usually just one time samples, so decided to save myself $20.00 a month.

I tried a couple of the beauty subscriptions and cancelled. Seemed like the first box or two was good (to hook you?) and after that, really bad.

I just cancelled my subscription. They ask you to check off the reasons why you're cancelling. I wonder if they listen to the feedback? What a waste of money!

Someone posted about the Walmart Beauty Box on Sept 15 (scroll to the previous Beauty forum page). $5 with good sized samples. Sounds like a bargain.

I've tried a few boxes. The only two I've liked is Blush.com mystery box, for $24.99 a month. They're full sized products & you definitely get your moneys worth. However, the products can pile up. I ended up with a lot of full size items that I never used, so I cancelled. I'm now using Beauty DNA & LOVE it. You pay $25 a month & they match you with one product after you fill out a questionnaire. They rotate from skin, body care, hair care. So far I've liked every product they have sent & it cut down how much product I was buying. I got a well known expensive eye cream & serum for only $25. The serum was over $110. The cheaper sample boxes are blah & not worth it IMO.

I was going to say that the blush boxes looked really good but seagrl21 beat me to it! a bit more expensive than the others but appears to be worth it. I've also been happy with the two total beauty packages I got from hsn and I liked the QVC one, not the test tube, but the other for $20. it's nice to be able to try the products they carry without spending the full price and hsn even gives you a $10 coupon to use if you do want to purchase the full sized item

I like Ipsy. $10 & it includes shipping. The liner pencil alone retails at $10.99 at Target, the criminal powder $12.99 at Sephora. These two & the lipstick are full sizes plus a perfume for the purse & a hair masque for 4 uses, not to mention a really cute makeup bag. The value far exceeds anything you can purchase at qvc.
