Hitha On The Go Quarterly Subscription Box Review #HGQ04

I got an email from Quarterly the other day that this sub is now cancelled. This was the last box from Hitha. I was kind of relieved, since I didn’t have to decide if I should cancel or not.

This is another of the boxes I keep wanting to subscribe to but I don’t see the value. The makeup bag (which I don’t see flying with TSA – oh I didn’t intend the pun lol) is incredibly over priced and/or valued. There are tons and tons of cute makeup bags at Target or CVS. And as someone pointed out the packing guide is worth nothing as you can get it for free.

I’ve actually been eyeing the SW Basics Eco Cotton Rounds for a while – they are $22 for 8. A great way to be more sustainable. I would love to try – wish I got this box!! http://store.swbasicsofbk.com/products/eco-cotton-rounds

I think it fits the theme well. I love SW Basics and buy it from Target online. Still, I would had been disappointed in this box. I don’t think this box is for me.

I was really disappointed in this box, especially coming from Quarterly. I was totally expecting a much better box and I travel a lot living in Hawaii. Oh well, I will chalk it up as a learning experience and be sure to watch for spoilers next time. I didn’t catch any of them for this one, but I would have cancelled if I did.

I don’t travel as much as I used to, but I’m still drawn to any travel-related box; they always pique my interest. I am glad that I skipped this one though! I am just not impressed, esp for the cost… The spoilers for Fathom have also not impressed me. Between its high cost and quarterly’s change in return policy, it’s not worth the risk.

I got her travel guide for free from signing up for her mailing list for her website. I also got this box unfortunately and got the travel guide email from quarterly. So I wouldn’t give it an $8 value since anyone could have gotten it for free by being on her mailing list.

I do really like the travel bag and I’m interested in those products but disappointed in the value. I should have cancelled when I saw the dry shampoo spoiler.

I’m surprised that the TSA allows a purple colored bag – their instructions say clear and zip-topped. Hitha had commented on her site that sometimes she wasn’t able to use her clear zippered bags on international flights. On the Flight001 site the web page for the clear case says that the transparent case is TSA approved, for the purple case if you read the description it says the size is TSA approved (not quite the same thing as the case itself…).

I cancelled as soon as she posted the value as being $70 (which she didn’t even hit). I’ve already bought one of the fancier toiletry bags that she recommended so I knew there would be a good chance that I wouldn’t need some of what was in the box.

I fly frequently and a quart size slide top bag works fine for me every time. I can’t see why one would take a reusable cotton round with them for travel. I think that’s silly.

I canceled this box at the last minute after I saw the dry shampoo spoiler. I have way to much dry shampoo I need to use first. SW Basics I’ve gotten in other boxes. The Flight001 F1 X-Ray Quart Bag is cute. Yet I’m glad I canceled when I did. I signed up for again for the next box. I hope the spoiler will be better then dry shampoo. I signed up for Fathom, even though I’m not thrilled with the 2 spoilers, I’m happy enough with them to still subscribe to the box. I agree with that it is more about curation with these types of boxes. If I got this box the only thing I would not have used is the dry shampoo so it would not have been a great box for me.

Wow I thought with Quarterly boxes you got at least double the value of the box. I’d be disappointed with this one for $50, but I love SW Basics, the exfoliant is the best.
