I just opened my one and only box from Cosmo. I would of thought they would of added a magazine but nope. A card with info and a coupon for a deal on a subscription to the magazine. There are only the five items above. The Sponella smells amazing and the candle too, even though its 5oz. Pretty but small and the retail on it is $25 I guess. The eye mask is so cheap, I mean really really cheap. The headband is not my thing as well as the mug with says on it…Please God, make people stop with the words and says unless it’s a calendar or notebook. I swear I read that there could be coupons or something but I guess that would be to get the magazine. I do feel like I got a ok deal with the candle and Sponella but the other items were so lame honestly.I cancelled before I got the box. Gosh they really could of did something amazing, specially with the first box. I think they will have to lower the price or they will not get any customers.

Thank you so much for your post, Beth! What scent of the candle did you get?

Yes please review this box! I’m actually interested in it. I remember reading cosmo all the time when I was a teen. This was my fave magazine. I love spongelles and the candle is nice. Theven coffee mug eh, it’s OK. But the other two items, I don’t care for it at all. I still think this might be a fun box. I do wish the shipping was free and it only cost the $19.99 if that were the case I’d of already subbed.

Not a box that is tempting me or creating fomo. Too much money for too little. And you have to pay for shipping. Easy pass.

My emails to [email protected] keep returning as undeliverable. I’m not going to risk without steep discount for the first month.

This won’t last long. The only customers they’ll get are those who are Cosmo readers AND completely new to lifestyle sub boxes. They might get the tweens who can get their mothers to sign them up for this.

A $20 lifestyle box would be nice to try.. but.. not this one. It’s like they went down the checklist of most-swap-listed items: Mug, check. Headband, check. Candle, check. I can’t afford to spend a penny on a box that just duplicates other boxes. I just got the first Margot Elena box and was floored – stuffed full of luxe but practical and usable things – soaps and lotions and drawer liners and beautiful cards and lots more. I always find FFF and Popsugar to be very useful for the price. Which is partly why I don’t need a low-end version of the same. PS and FFF have perfected and cornered that niche, I think.

What is FFF? Thanks!!

The headbands are the same ones that came in the birchbox Mask Matchmaker. Satva?

Liz, headbands are by Satva. I have a few from Birchbox. 🙂

I’m reading their “Terms” section and I’m confused about something they stated:

“ACCESS AND USE OF THE SERVICE

Once you create an account, you will become a “Member.” For more details about the Service, please see http://www.themenshealthbox.com.”

Provide MEN with great products….?

Omg I just ordered this box in seconds because of the name. I almost said no when I seen the shipping but then I thought WHAT IF I MISS OUT! I ordered it and then here and started reading and then went right back and cancelled. Yes I will get one box but then I seen that my next billing was 1/1/18 which is a little over a week away and my first box would ship until the 20th. I hate 😡👿 when companies do that cr#p.
I cancelled no problem though. Plus I’m nuts about candles. A $40 dollar value seems low right?

I don’t know why but I have this aversion to paying for shipping. If the box was $25 instead of $19 plus $6 shipping, I would be fine with it. Oh well, I definitely don’t need another box but I’ll keep my eye on it.

Reply ButtonReply

Leddy

I’m the same way too! There’s nothing I hate more than paying shipping charges. Your product does not cost $19 if I’m paying $25 for it.

And the whole “here’s a coupon for $8 off your order, oh and btw, shipping just happens to be $8”, it drives me up the wall! Just call it free shipping for flippin sakes, ya know? Ugh.

Reply ButtonReply

Christine G

Me too! 😂 I think it’s because a sub box that costs $25.99 with free shipping means the box value will be higher than a $19.99 box plus a $6 shipping fee. I’m glad I’m not the only one turned off by paying for shipping!

No way would I ever pay them $6 to ship me this box.

Thank you for the info! I’m always excited and interested to hear about new boxes.

I don’t get the appeal of something like this. Why would I spend $25.00 for a mug and a candle. If I actually wanted that crap, I could go to a store and get exactly what I wanted for less than that.

Are these boxes for people who are unable to ever go to a store because I just don’t understand why you would spend that money for a box like this.

I love the beauty boxes because there is no way I could discover and test the stuff that comes in them but a mug? a candle? My refitting closet is filled with that kind of garbage 🙂

“: We do not accept returns on the shipped box nor on individual items contained in the box. If a box is damaged or destroyed, customer service will review the subscribers claim following their submission to the shipping carrier for the damaged package.

The cost of shipping for the Member is not included when processing a return. Members will be responsible for the cost of shipping of each box which may fluctuate without warning. All items you receive through the Service will be shipped by a third-party carrier.”

Uhhhhh shipping may fluctuate without warning? Eeep.

It bothers me that if the entire box is damaged, OR if just individual items are damaged, they will “review the subscribers claim” after the subscriber makes a claim with the shipping carrier, and I assume you must also provide proof that you filed a claim with the carrier. They’ll review it? For legitimacy? Wonder how long that takes. Either false claims for damaged products are just way out of control, or they are simply business oriented service as opposed to customer centered service.

In my head, this is translated as “good luck on ever getting a customer-friendly response to a damaged item.”

I totally agree. I have never had a retailer say to take it up with the shipper when a package comes damaged. Never. They have all made restitution on their goods, even though the damage was not their fault.

Mandy

That’s a no go for me. How am I supposed to budget when they can’t even tell me what my box will cost?!?!

Carrie

“When processing a return” are the key words there. In other words, it’ll be a flat rate to get it toyou, but you’ll pay full market rate for returns.

Cristina

I was excited when I saw it was from cosmo, but the items shown are not really what I would have expected. They are items you can get anywhere. I hope they step it up.

Nia N.

Same. This does not look interesting to me. Which is kind of a relief. 🙃

Mayra G

I agree, i was expecting more exciting items than a mug and headbands :/

I have that same eye mask from Amazon.com.

The headbands I also have from Birchbox kits.

You can get a similar mug at home goods

Passing on this!

Seems like Cosmo is trying to piggyback off of the success Allure has had. Well Cosmo, you have already failed it seems…judging by the comments pretty much everyone is saying “nah, Imma pass” on this. I don’t want it either. Nothing about this screams awesome to me.

This just reminds me of FabFitFun box no offense. I’m not interested or excited for spoilers! I just got a mug in my FabFitFun box already and have spongelles , so this isn’t like omg I absolutely need this! Lol

I think we MSA readers are a tough crowd to impress. I don’t need any of this because I’ve been a longtime lifestyle box subscriber, but it looks like a nice selection at reasonable price.

Anita

Yes! MSA has made me much more critical because now I know what a good box looks like. That’s
not to say that anyone needs to be an expert to see that the Cosmo box is pure crap LOL!! You just need common sense to see that.

plus 6.00 for shipping?? no.

Agreed! I might give this box a chance if it were $19.99, including shipping. Well, not this month, I don’t want anything in it. I hope it gets better, I look forward to more spoilers. Though I’m surprised this is what’s in the very first Cosmo box. You’d think it would be great, to entice people to subscribe. Take Margot Elena, their first box was incredible! I’m so happy I took a chance on it. If I subbed to Cosmo, and got this, I’d be bummed.
