GoodeBox Eco Beauty Subscription Box Review – August 2014

Is anyone planning on swapping the Beauty Counter Lip Sheer? I would’ve loved this box but didn’t sign up in time and Goodebox said it’s too late to receive one for August 🙁

Looking for input on the different eco boxes. I was hit again today with an allergic reaction to something = very swollen eyes and lots of itching. (got the allergic reaction under control but not fun.) I think it was some Simple face wipes – parabens likely.

What I am really looking for is good moisturizer and more skincare aspect than makeup. No parabens or fragrances. I seem to be doing pretty well with the boxes I am getting (Birchbox, Blush, Sample Society, Glossybox and Julep.) But I am debating switching some to Eco boxes. (Dropping Sample Society and Julep probably – Julep mostly cause I have gotten quite the collection of nail polish now.) Got to stop going to the local Walgreens for stuff though….

Any input on the best boxes for those with sensitive skin? And whether they lean more to makeup or skincare… Thanks

I just received an email from Goodebox advertising a one-time August box for $22… It states the following: “These are single Goodeboxes. Purchase of a single Goodebox does not create a membership nor does it alter a current membership. These are the products Goodebox members received in their August Goodeboxes. Very few boxes will contain La Bella Figura, Josh Rosebrook, One Love Organics or Zoe Organics due to limited quantities. The special offers included are valid and are not to be shared or publicly posted. Orders will be shipped within 7-10 business days.”

I am totally confused. Why did Liz pay $18 and get over $70 worth of products? Now they are offering another box for $22? What if you’re already a subscriber and paid $18 for August? That’s double profits for a box they should have sent to everyone, to be fair. I understand the customization; however, the values of boxes should NEVER differ from person to person.

Hi Liz and the rest of you ladies 🙂 I thought we would chime in here to address and concerns and answer questions. Liz – thank you for doing a lovely review! Always detailed and straightforward. The box Liz has reviewed was not special because she reviews them (in fact, she is a paying member), it was built based on her member preferences in her profile. This has been a learning process for us with newer software, a growing number of combinations and greater ability to choose products better for members based on their profiles. The cost for this box was $18.00 which is the monthly member fee. The $110.00 box was a Limited Edition Deluxe Box that was sold separately and featured 6 full size products, the proceeds went to benefit Baby2Baby as part of the A Night for Green Beauty event taking place in Los Angeles this Thursday, August 7th.

We have well over 50 combinations each month, so often, members will not receive the same box. Several products may be the same, with others that are different and it varies month to month.

Regarding Beauty Counter and synthetic colors – let me start by saying we all know that just because it’s “natural” doesn’t mean it’s good for you (Ecoli, Poison Ivy, etc). If you take a look at Skin Deep, you’ll see all of the colors they use receive very safe ratings and as a beauty brand, their safety testing for every single ingredient they use and transparency is second to none. We just wanted to make that clear to alleviate any concerns and to help raise the level understanding on “safe” beauty ingredients.

We hope all members are enjoying their Goodeboxes and we’re always open to feedback, so feel free to drop us a line at [email protected].

Cheers,

The Goodebox Team

I got this same exact box with all the same exact products-just different shades of the gloss and lipstick. I have to say I really wish I would have gotten the fig color! Would have looked much better on my skin tone than the color I got. I got the juice beauty gloss in pink though, so that was nice. 🙂 I hated that mun oil…smells like roses that have been thrown in a dumpster or something. NOT good.

I got almost the identical box, one of my samples was different. Maybe this is because of the customization? But this was my last box from them, most of my boxes have been much less good.

I think this box may have been a one-time special purchase box… this was the $110 limited edition box they had for sale… not their normal box: goodebox dot com/sign-first-dibs-night-green-beautys-limited-edition-deluxe-beauty-box/

I thought all Goodebox’s were the same? Why is Liz’s different?

Your box consistently looks better than mine This month was the worst as it was all samples. I read a lot of great reviews for this box so I really had high hopes. I think I gave it a fair chance…might be time to move onto something else.

Mine was blah one full size juice beauty and the rest free sample ….unhappy … Your box looks fab
