Bare Bliss Box Subscription Review – October 2014

Looks like my online cancelation didn’t go through. I was billed today for the next 3 months. I wrote to Shelli and immediately I got response. She did the cancelation for me and returned my money right away. GREAT customer service ! Looks like November box will be very nice with good make up samples and I am happy to choose the colour of nail polish. I am drowning in make up and skin care so I must take a break now. But I will possibly resubscribe in the future.

I feel like I am beating a dead horse. It’s quiet in the house so I am checking on my last few boxes that need to ship this month. Has anyone heard anything new about November’s shipment?

I tried to cancel few days ago and it looked like it did, but I never got email with confirmation, so I am unsure now…. hmmm…

I feel like I am being a pain about this sub. I went to the website to cancel my renewal because it is to bill on Monday and a fatal error came up both in Firefox and IE. I do not know if this is a temporary error or an error to be concerned about. I do know I don’t want to pay for the renewal without seeing the third box.

Has anyone received tracking for this box yet? I received the box on 9/17 and then 10/20. Today is 11/20 and no tracking.

I finally got mine yesterday. I didn’t get an item description card or the deodorant! I notice that I got 2 of the tiny olive oil soaps, but I was actually looking forward to trying the deodorant. I had to email to ask about tracking, and it wasn’t until after that that they even sent out my package! I feel like they just forgot about me. Not including the item card felt rather deceptive.

BB looks very dark, but it was actually ok when I put it on… I thought that I look better with darker completion then with my everyday light powder. Hmm, I might try those Tarte towelettes from SS next… But first I will finish this BB cream 🙂

My bb cream leaked, maybe one application if at all. The lip tint was dry. I used a lip brush and cannot even blend. Add some Argan oil and made a mess. I emailed them and told them I liked last month’s box, and this month 2 of my items are not usable. They asked me which item I like from last month and they will send me that.

Agree, not a very exciting box to open. Both makeup products were too dark for me, so all in all not a very usable box for me. I have one more month to go on the three month plan, but don’t think I’ll be continuing on past that at this point.

This box was disappointing as the sample sizes were far too small and the makeup samples didn’t match with my skin tone whatsoever. This box reminds me of eco-emi before they did the deluxe beauty box and why I cancelled that one. The only thing I like about this month’s box is that it introduced me to all new brands (and this is coming from someone who subs to 7 natural skincare/makeup boxes!). Hopefully, next month will be better and include at least 1 full-size product. If not, I won’t be renewing. Petit Vour blows this box out of the water and this one costs a couple bucks more!

I agree, curation was good, interesting products and nice companies but too small sizes!!! Only deodorant was decent size 🙁

It was surprising to open this box after last month’s box. I’m waiting to see what next month’s box is like before deciding whether to renew my 3 month sub. I gave my sister the natural deodorant (still using the deodorant I made from the Homegrown Collective box) , wipes, and soap.

I did use the lavender and jasmine scrub today as a body scrub which I liked. The variety is good; sizes are not. I thought there would be larger sizes in the box. It was disappointing opening this box after the last box which had nail polish and lip balm.

Most natural deodorants are in jars because the twist-up containers require so much more plastic to produce. Basically, the jars are more Eco-friendly.

I think this was a great box. As a vegan it’s hard to find new products, and yet again I’m getting introduced to companies I’ve never met before. I’m also a beauty junkie, so to find brands that I don’t know is impressive. Maybe this month didn’t include a full sized product, but they did do a good job of curating a variety of products. There’s makeup, skin care, and body products. I’d prefer to have a variety vs all makeup or all ski care.

This review was very helpful to me as I too like natural products . Thank you!

Hated my box this month and cancelled. The value is not there at all. Couldn’t use the tint or bb cream, so that was a waste. The samples were smaller than a quarter… I kept thinking something was missing from my box, but sadly, this was it. Terrible.

i will be canceling this sub. i miss saffron rouge 🙁

I was disappointed when I opened my box yesterday. I subscribed for 3 months at a cheaper rate (around $12 a month I think) and this box is ok at that price. However, if next month’s box isn’t more impressive I can’t justify continuing the subscription. It’s a shame because I love discovering new organic brands, and they have done a great job of choosing unique natural brands, many of which are new to me. The only favorable comment I can make for the Oct. box is that I love the Rain Africa soap and will probably buy a full bar when my sample runs out. Sadly, that isn’t enough to justify $17 a month. This box contained mostly tiny, difficult to use samples, no full size products, and two of the items – the BB cream and cheek/lip tint – don’t work with my skin tone. The negatives outweigh the positives for me as far as this one is concerned. I hope next month is better.

Am I mistaken or did the creators of this box specifically note on fb or their web page that they would never include all sample sizes because that doesn’t give enough of a chance to really try out a product? If so, I am even more disappointed in the tiny sizes included in this box…
