I received both boxes today.

The second over 35 version I received had Lady Gaga Fame sample, Burt's Bees Renewal firming serum foil packet sample with a $3.00 coupon, Palmer's Skin Therapy oil foil packet sample, Palmer's Cocoa Butter formula sample bottle, Caress Body wash sample bottle , Loreal Total Repair shampoo and conditioner sample bottles, a coupon for a free dove or degree spray antiperspirant and a $1.00 coupon for Palmer's Eventone suncare.

I was pleased with this box. The free antiperspirant was a pleasant surprise. All in all I would say an improvement on the first box.

The under 35 box had Lady Gaga Fame sample, Garnier Ultra-lift miracle sleeping cream foil packet sample with a $2.00 coupon, Nivea In-Shower Body lotion foil sample packet with a $1.00 coupon, Maybelline Fit Matte and Poreless Foil Sample in ivory with a $2.00 coupon, Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters facial cleanser sample tube, Dove Go Fresh body wash sample bottle, Rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara full size, Schwarzkopf essence Ultime shampoo and conditioner sample bottles with two $2.00 coupons and one $3.00 coupon, a Cover Girl Olay Simply Ageless foundation $2.00 coupon and a $2.00 Loreal cosmetic coupon.

I would say the under 35 box easily was better than the first over 35 box but the second over 35 box made up for it. I will use most of the products so they are still worth it to me. Next time I hope they realize they have to be fair and treat the over 35 as well as the under 35. We shall see.

My box is now less than an hour away. I keep checking - It's my newest obsession.

I will laugh (or cry!) if it turns out to be the exact same box we just received. :-/

I am quoting myself because - yes! - I got the exact same box again!!!

But with fewer things! Unbelievable! It was disappointing to get this pathetic box once, and now I've gotten it twice. But a worse version! Which I honestly didn't think was possible. Is this seriously how they do damage control?

By the way, I had changed my age to under 35, but I got the exact same things as I did for over 35.

NYC Susan, maybe the extra box was sent when you were still subscribed to the "old and boring" box (I got the same)!

You got the same box as you did last time? I thought you had said you got the same as BetteB.

I don't think I was still subscribed to "old and boring" (LOL!) when they sent this one out. And I didn't get the Rogaine coupon this time. (Not that I care.) But either way, this did not make me happy. The last thing I wanted was a box filled with the same useless things I got last time. And this box was nearly empty - hardly anything in it at all.

I would far rather have received a reply to my email.

My box arrived yesterday. It was different. Sample size loreal shampoo/conditioner, Palmer cream, a few foil packets and coupons. One coupon was for a full size deodorant.

My original box was the same as Bette's, the one that came yesterday is what everyone has been getting now with the Palmers lotion, same poo and conditioner I got before, Lady Ga Ga sample, same body wash I got before, etc.

Thanks for clarifying, Desi!

NYC Susan, no problem! For free it's fine, just not worth 5.00 IMO.

Susan, so help me, this is the only thread (and I know it's the old one) about the box.  If you want to post and bring up the new one that would help - I am about done until these bds make sense.  

Anyway, summer one just got here.  Small Olay eye treatment, hideous color Revlon lipstick, tiny Neutrogena suscreen sport, 1 oz. John Frieda Beach waves. Identical Caresse body wash I got last time (and don't use), and Clear Scalp dandruff shampoo I won't use - I think this line is about the worst hair care you can get. A few coupons. So, there you have it.  Totally meh!
