Blush Mystery Beauty Box Review – February 2015

Wait, I’m confused? When I go to click the link to go to the Blush Mystery Beauty Box web page it takes me to Dermstore/ Beauty Fix box…. No “Blush Mystery Beauty Box” to be found. I see that you did a review for BOTH the Blush box AND the Beauty Fix box for April & see that they are two different boxes so what’s the deal? How do I subscribe to the Blush box? Going to blush.com just takes me straight to Dermstore & doing a search for the blush box on Dermstore directs me straight to the Beauty Fix box sign up. So confused!!!

Am I the only one who doesn’t hate perfume samples? I find that fragrances change a lot on my skin and it’s nice to sample them, if there are enough items in the bag/box to balance it out. I thought this was a great box! The Tocca hand cream and the Alterna oil both made it totally worth it for this month.

This subscription is worth my 25 bucks, plus i received 2 other samples. I’ll be using everything, in fact I already have my hair in a bun lol.

My box was missing the Vichy serum, I’m waiting for a response from support…

Aside from that, I’m pretty happy with this month’s box! I got the same fragrance (‘Florence’) for both of the Tocca products. I probably won’t use the Alterna bamboo oil and my hair is too short for the wrap up, but everything else looks good.

I’m pretty happy with Blush Mystery this month. I like perfume samples, I like trying new skincare products, and I love liquid eyeliner, nail polish, and hand cream.

My only complaints are that this box had a LOT of products in it, but many were very low value/free in many places. It really didn’t have the $100 value they claim it should have. I don’t consider that a huge deal since I’m still paying a lot less for products than retail this way, and the value for me is high since I’ll use almost all these.

I’m glad to see they didn’t add in any repeat products this month.

I have a question, I’ve been getting blush for like 8 months now and it always comes in the normal mail. I just checked my tracking link and it’s coming UPS??? Did anyone else get theirs from UPS?

Honestly after I saw this review I was sure I was going to hate this box. But now that it’s here I love it. The tocca hand creme is so nice, and sim interested to try the bun wrap!

I used to love Blush and anxiously awaited it every month. I unsubbed in Nov because the value just wasn’t there for me. I continue to follow knowing I can resub or buy a single box if I see something great. That hasn’t happened yet. What I have seen since then is a theme involving product/brand repeats (hello, Cargo, Vichy, Alterna), tiny samples, multiple perfumes per month…and the changes definitely coincided with the change in ownership. Hence the Vichy products, a popular Target brand (which I really do like anyway and have gotten from Glossy as well). The boxes just feel, well, off. I agree with others that they need to stop advertising value over $100 if they aren’t reaching the target. And they need to curate more thoughtfully, avoiding repeat brands and certainly literal repeat items, especially within a month or three. Other than the Tocca lotion and Cargo eyeliner (I’m not a fan of the polish brand at all), there’s nothing here that adds up to to the value and quality I’ve received in the past. For $25-$35 a month, subscribers (especially longtime customers) expect better/more. I really hope they work their way back to the old Blush model, and soon.

Another meh box. Not $100 as they promised. If they’re planning on degrading this box they need to say under $100 & just be honest about it. Canceling & will wait for Liz’s review to purchase in the future. Blush you’re breaking my heart 🙁

Blush used to be my #1 fave sub… always came first one of the month. It started getting yucky with repeats and such, so I unsubbed back in July of last year. I signed up again in December because of the CLEAN perfume rollerball (it was the only scent in my CLEAN collection that I was missing). January was totally disappointing with repeats….Thankfully, this one I’ll really enjoy. I love perfume samples, I love trying serums, and I’m currently growing my hair out so in a month or two I’ll be able to use the bun item.

Blush was my second sub ever, and was my favorite for a while. Now though, I’m happy I cancelled when I did. Maybe it’s just not for me anymore. I have a short pixie cut, so that hair thing would be useless, and I really don’t like perfume samples at all. And there are two in this month’s! Yikes.

I noticed the enclosure cards used to say “Congratulations! You just received over $100 in beauty products. They haven’t said that since the month when there was no card. Since they switched to the featured item being on one side to a code for the website they have left off that statement. I assumed the $100 value wasn’t there since they failed to congratulate us.

Both my hand cream and Tocca perfume are in the same fragrance. The Juliette perfume also smells similar to me, and I’m not sure I’m a fan of either. The bun wrap will never work in my hair because my hair is so thin it is practically see through, and the hair product is for thick and textured hair types so that portion of the bag is a no go for me. I kind of feel like I paid full price for the eyeliner and nail polish this month, but at least there are some new brands.

I like this month’s box better than last month’s, but I’m really angry about the low value. In the past, they’ve promised it to be “at least $100 value” but January was a total dud at around $85. I thought about complaining but decided I’d see what this month’s box brought us. Honestly, I was hoping they’d make up for the catastrophe that was last month’s box (repeat items, low value) by going overboard in February. But nope. Another box, not even $100 value even though their website clearly states it’s worth that much. It’s the principle of it all and unfair (even shady) business practice. Ever since Target bought this company, the samples have gotten smaller and smaller, the value has decreased, and the products are so repetitive (this all be the third or fourth month in a row we’ve had a Cargo product). Sure, $91 is more than the $25 I paid for it and a decent value. . but, it’s not what was promised.

Wow I duno, Blush was my favorite subscription, but not thrilled with this box either. I keep hoping I’ll love it again, but the last 3 months have been kind of blah. I love Juliette has a gun, hate seeing tiny sample sizes though. This box includes a lot of sample sizes when Blush used to do mostly full sized items, not super happy about that. I’ll probably end up swapping most of it again.

I know this is dumb, but what is serum?? I’ve always been just a mascara and lip gloss person but now that I’m in my 40’s I’m trying to branch out a bit. Don’t laugh. 😉

This looks like a great box! I’m a big fan of Alterna, and the hand cream looks really nice, too. Maybe I’ll get one if they go on sale…

I definitely want this box, particularly for the Tocca cream! I feel bad subscribing to get the $25 price since I will probably cancel, but that’s a lot cheaper than $35…

Hi Liz, Do you have any promo codes for new subscribers? Thanks!

Is it too late to buy this box? I want!

So happy we will be getting a full size Tocca hand cream….I love Tocca! Also excited for the Tocca perfume, I’ve been wanting to try it!! I can’t wait to try the polish either, out of all the polish I have…I have never tried this one! The rest Is just icing on the cake!!

Looks like a great box, excited to get mine!
