Got mine today and kinda wish I hadn’t bought it, especially as I didn’t get the $189 “bonus” item. The only things I was happy about were the sheet mask and the one — count ’em ONE — Biotin supplement. I was hoping that since this was the first mystery box I’ve bought in 9 mos that I’d be less jaded when opening it, but… nah. I better wait 18 mos next time. 😀

Received my box (B) today. Received exact items that were in spoiler. I like the items, and there were some nice larger size samples. Think it was a good deal for $30. Haven’t tried anything yet. I have never heard of most of these brands, should be fun.

And the Trufora sunscreen is expired. Expiration date of 4/17.
I’m really disappointed with this box. I feal like the majority of items are free sample size – not deluxe or travel size.

My sunscreen has an expiration date if 4 /2017 as well and it smells pretty bad too. 😡 The vitamin looks interesting but the package doesn’t have an expiration date. I’m afraid to try it.

Hi,
I have the same issue, mine states 4/17 as well. I am very disappointed in this subscription box. I felt like I got scammed… Not worth the money at all.

I definitely agree we shouldn’t be receiving products that have an expiration date that will pass even if we start using it at a reasonable pace right when we receive it. However, the date didn’t bother me when I received it in the IBE box. What made me give it away was that I thought it applied SO horribly! It had a horrible pink (not even white) cast that just would not blend in. Fortunately, the person I gave it to has far more patience than I do when applying skincare like this, plus didn’t mind the expiration date of the product either.

@Luna doesn’t that make you wonder if these “Best of Show” winners are really legitimate best in product class/winners? Hmmm… I think I should just save my $$$ from now on and stick with Net-a-porter boxes?

What? The Trufora sunscreen expires at the end of the month! I don’t know why I’m surprised. This company sent the same batch out in the Indie Beauty Expo boxes. I was annoyed then and this is after Tarte sent bottles that are only good until July. I emailed and complained at Indie Expo customer service on April 3rd and I received this email yesterday:
Hi Amy –
We contacted Trufora, and they have created a code you can use at trufora.com to receive the next tube for only $5. You can use the code _____, which is valid until July 9.
Thanks and we hope you are enjoying your box. We’re sorry you feel some of the samples are small, however, the vast majority are full size products and the retail value of the box is over $600 if you were to buy each product separately.
Trufora is more than aware that they are sending out nearly expired product. That I have no doubt. And, I have no intention of paying, not even $5, to get a tube that’s not ready to expire. I am so bothered by the shady, intentional actions by this company I will likely NEVER buy anything made by them. Shame on them! And shame on Indie for expecting customers to pay for their lack of oversight.

MontanaBelle-I got a similar email from Indie Beauty re: the expired sunscreen. When I discovered that the sunscreen isn’t even available on Trufora’s website (out of stock) I emailed Trufora directly to find out when it would be back in stock and find out why we’d received expiring product. They said two things…1) They DONATED those products to the Indie Beauty Expo. Indie paid NOTHING for them…and 2) they claim they gave them to Indie months ago. So…just to play devil’s advocate…I don’t think this is completely Trufora’s fault. I actually feel kind of bad for them in that they likely donated something to get free publicity, and they’re getting only BAD publicity due to how it was handled by Indie. I have no idea the situation as to how they got their products into the Beauty Report box…if it was another donation situation or what…but at minimum both Indie and Beauty Report should have noticed that the products were expiring and declined to send them out. On the forum someone posted that they received in their Beauty Report box an item (Defendage, I believe) that expired A YEAR ago…so clearly there is not great quality control going on here.

I still haven’t received an email as to when my box will ship. I contacted them and they haven’t responded. Can anyone tell me when you received your email saying when it shipped?

Hey, that happened to me. Turns out they rejected my card, but I didn’t get any notice. I still can’t get anywhere with their customer service.

They rejected my card too. I called my credit card company thinking there was something wrong with it, but they told me it was working fine. I even used it on a different website, on the same day, with no problem. New Beauty did call me to tell me that it wouldn’t work though. I thought that they had gotten a number wrong, but they didn’t. It just wouldn’t work for them, so I had to give them a different card to use. They also told me that because my card didn’t charge the first time, that it knocked me out of sequence and I wouldn’t be getting a email with a tracking number like everyone else did.

Getting box A tomorrow .. hopefully since we ( all A box-ers ) brought it first we probably and hopefully get the best items of all 3 boxes in addition to the dermflash ( which I have confirmed I will be getting) .. fingers crossed 😇

I’m box A and I do not expect to get the best items. I wish all items were equally good among all the boxes (except of course for the extra of the Dermaflash for the first 500.)

I agree, I wish all boxes were the same for everyone(except for the dermaflash). I am getting box B and pretty bummed, I like C better.

I haven’t received my box yet but this looks like the same item that was included as an extra (we got a full sized tub of Gavee Gold diamond cell salt polish) in the Indie Beauty Expo box. Very pretty tub with a card that says 8 ml. Hope that helps 😉

I really hope the Decleor Aromessence Neroli Hydrating Oil Serum is in Box A – otherwise, I’ll be looking to swap for it!!

I’m wondering if Box A will be the same as Box B, but with the Dermaflash added.

I don’t understand what anyone is complaining about. We only paid $29.00 for this box, which we got in one or two products and the rest is like getting them for free! I’m sure we will find at least one product we end up loving, but probably more. There are a lot of people who are wishing that they had been able to get this deal and if you are that dissatisfied, then sell your box to them for the $ 29.00 and get your money back.
Reply
Nora
I don’t get the complaining, either. People seem to be comparing this box to the Indie Beauty box and forgetting that one cost $100. Based on the two spoilers, these are awesome boxes and I will happily take anyone’s box for $29.00 as well!

After reading the comments, is there anyone else who is receiving a box that isn’t A that weighs more? I am getting box C and it supposedly weighs 4.5lbs. If so then the variation could be random and not an indication of being in the first 500. Or shipping weight could be way off. I’ll find out on Thurs though.

I’m getting box B and thrilled. For those that already have their B boxes, how big was the Ven Effect lip treatment sample?? I love that stuff and it’s $85.00 for the normal size which is pretty small so I am super excited to see it in the box and I am hoping it’s a decent sample size. Thanks.

I didn’t get this box but it looks to be the same sample we got in this month’s beautyfix box and it’s .1oz/3 ml. I’ve been using it 2-3 times a day for over a week and it’s getting to the end. I love it too!! I agree it’s ridiculously expensive but I used the 20% off code you get with the beautyfix box to purchase the full size.

How do you use the Veneffect?! Maybe I’m a heavy applier, but the tube felt empty practically and I went through it in 3 uses. I’m also feeling throat tightness so not sure if I’m reacting to it or its coincidence. I don’t typically have sensitivities and my lips/skin feel fine. Anywho, I will have two other vials. Maybe I should just trade them. Did I possibly just get a partially filled tube?
Sara
The full size is just .34 oz. that would really be pricey if you went through it in a month!

I’m getting B – looks much better than C for me. Still disappointed I missed getting A though.

What’s in A? Guess I haven’t seen that one as a spoiler. Do you think peeps are getting boxes in the order they signed up? First 500 with free gift are getting box A??

Liz posted the spoilers for box A already. Also.. yes, the first 500 are getting box A, the next group is getting Box B and then the latest and last people to buy, are getting Box C..

It’s sold out. I tried and filled out the form for a few days now and it lets you fill out the form, but then that’s it, it won’t go through. I was going to buy another one, but I’m happy their sold out, cause it would have been Box C, which I didn’t care for.

I’ve been trying to buy it and I get a fail after I click to complete the purchase.

Does anyone know the expiration date for the Trufora sunscreen? I received that item in the Indie Beauty Box – but it has an expiration date of 4/17. Bummer especially as Indie Beauty Expo and Trufira have not replaced the expired product.
Reply
MontanaBelle
I posted here on MSA about the nearly expired Trufora and how pathetic it was of companies to do this (I also got the short shelf life Tarte sunscreen as well, I cancelled my subscription). Someone from Indie posted that they were working with Trufora to get replacements for everyone who ordered. Email and complain in case they think we have forgotten. On another note the Gavee Gold peptides are crazy expensive and my skin soaks it in before my hands have even left my face, it is awesome!

I’m waiting for delivery on box C. I don’t know any of the brand names in it, but I know a lot of the ones in box B. I’m not happy about this at all.
The probability that I will do a blind mystery box in the future is zero!
I mean, this on top of Sephora’s recent bag of junk and Ipsy’s bronzers for ants?
I’ll just buy what I need, and stop trying for these “deals”! Gah!

Catherine, haha I couldn’t have said it better! I cancelled Sephora and ipsy this month due to the lackluster products for the past few months, as well as new beauty test tube and glossybox due to their terrible customer service. I’ve decided to keep my money, and just buy the things I like and find value in. Lmao @ highlighters for ants!!
