Bare Bliss Box Subscription Review – December 2014

has anyone received the email regarding the missing “void beauty” product in the last box yet?

I was not pleased with this month’s box. I was hoping for at least one item without fragrance. Some of us cannot use products with scents. I probably will not order another box.

just an FYI, xylitol is EXTREMELY TOXIC for dogs!

“Even small amounts of xylitol can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure or even death in dogs.”

I found it strange that doTERRA is in the box. Other than that, I would had like this box if I received it. I’m going to wait a few months to see what happens before deciding whether to resub.

I highly recommend LaVanilla brand natural deodorant. It actually comes in a roll on! No more getting pit paste under my fingernails and having to smear it on my underarms with my hands. And it smells fabulous. It’s kind of nice to catch your own, um, scent and be pleasantly surprised, lol. I tried and mostly liked the Meow Meow Tweet brand from PV last month and liked that it has a creamier consistency making for easier application, but it’s still not very convenient to apply. I would love to see this sub succeed since I love subs that feature lesser known, indie brands. But the business end of this sub is kind of an unpredictable hot mess in terms of fulfilling promised value/product numbers, sending all of the items intended for each month together, shipping all boxes on time, communicating reliably with customers and in general being consistently responsive to all subscribers whenever someone emails for assistance. The hit or miss/flying by the seat of the pants vibe has kept me from subbing so far. I figure my life is stressful enough without having to chase down another company to get what I paid for.

I love that Bare Bliss Box often showcases smaller companies. My favorite product from December is the PuraBela deodorant. I’m a big fan of the Meow Meow Tweet deodorant from Petit Vour’s December box, but PuraBela works just as well. It has a similar, creamy consistency which is easy to spread, and a fantastically addictive (and long-lasting!) scent. I’ve already bought the Meow Meow Tweet one, but also plan to buy the PuraBela once I receive the coupon code so I can switch between the two. (Still waiting on that code, two weeks after I received my box….)

While I was intrigued with trying a natural toothpaste, I’m not a fan of the cinnamon flavor or aftertaste from the xylitol used as a sweetener in this brand. My white tea and ginger candle is just lovely, and I know I’ll get good use out of it. The Pure Natural Diva serum absorbs quickly and doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, but I’m not sure I will be purchasing the full size anytime soon with so many other serums needing to be used first. I almost never take baths, but will hold onto the seaweed soak for one of those days when I feel the need.

Altogether, I’m pretty happy with this box. I just wish they would improve consistency in both their shipping and delivery of the coupon codes after the boxes are delivered.

Reminds me of Eco Emi and Petit Vour, both of which I have cancelled. Their samples are way too small for my liking. I’m loving Kloverbox much better.

I’ve been reading your reviews for a while about this box. Hoping that something will intrigue me enough to want to sign up, so far I’m not getting the “wow” need to get this box immediately feeling. – Hope the box gets better or more interesting.
