Bare Bliss Box Subscription Review – May 2015 Info

Each box comes with a card detailing the items included.

Bare Bliss Box Subscription Review – May 2015 Cucumber

BioRepublic Cucumber Breeze Soothing Fiber Mask - Value $5

I like my masks off in under 10 minutes, so I'm not super excited about this 15-20 minute mask, but it looks really refreshing so I'll give it a try!

Alaffia Skin Recovery Face Cream - Samples Value $1?

This face cream has a natural/herbal scent to it. I like it, but I might be in the minority on that. The formula is very moisturizing, and I'd probably use it as a night cream since it has a thick consistency.

Bare Bliss Box Subscription Review – May 2015 SPF

Rock Island Sponge Company Sea Sponge - Value $2?

This sponge is pretty tiny, but in the info card they recommend using it to wash your face, so I guess the size works.

Goddess Garden Organics SunnyBody Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 – 1 oz Value $4.40

The first thing I always check with natural sunscreen is whether or not it is difficult to blend in. (I’ve sampled a few sunscreens that go on white and seem to stay white no matter how hard I try to rub them in!) This formula easily blends in so I’m happy!

Bare Bliss Box Subscription Review – May 2015 Lipbalm

ellovi Tinted Lip Butter - FULL SIZE! Value $5

I've sampled ellovi products before and loved them. This tint is moisturizing and gives just a hint of color. The only thing I don't love is the scent (or lack of scent).

Verdict: This box has a value of about $17-18. I think I may end up canceling my subscription to Bare Bliss Box if the value doesn't improve by next month. For a $20 beauty box, I expect to get an average of at least $30 worth of products a month.

Is there going to be a June Bare Bliss review?

Liz Cadman

Yes – should have it up in the next day or two. I’m a little behind on reviews this month! 🙁

maddiewin

Should I be concerned if I haven’t received May box yet? Has everyone gotten their May box?

Misty

I haven’t received mine yet either and I sent an email on Friday. Haven’t heard back yet, but it was Friday, so we’ll see if I hear something or see my box early this week.

maddiewin

Misty, thanks! I will reach out today to bare bliss.

PA Anna

I would. I think it’s OK to contact them because we are entering the second week of June.

maddiewin

PaAnna, thanks for the advice and responding

Sara

I just got a sample of that Goddess Garden sunscreen in my Pinchme box, so it was a free sample. I don’t like when subs send out items you can get for free and put a value on it. I’ve had my eye on Kloverbox for a while, haven’t signed up, trying to use up some of my stash before getting new boxes.

PA Anna

Liz – Your heart doesn’t seem to be in the review.

I received the same sunscreen in the EWG Sun Safety box. I haven’t tried it yet. The mask looks interesting. I’ve been using My Beauty Diary sheet masks and love them. I even signed up for the Mask Genie box.

PA Anna

Thank you to that special somebody who sent me the mask 🙂 I am excited to try it out and will purchase from the company if I like it. Thank You!!!

Erin

It’s pretty hard to get excited about something that disappoints you. Receiving a box valued under what you paid, that isn’t a food sub, would be super disappointing to me, too. That said the review seemed pretty fair and evenhanded to me. And honest, which I absolutely appreciate.

Wendy

This is my 9th box, and I have had this sub since box 1. I paid $39 for 3 months, and since the value and the usability is not there for me, I have cancelled yesterday before I get charge again Monday. I have picked up kloverbox instead. So far, I am not impressed. I got charge a second month before even receiving the first month. She posted on Facebook saying that because Memorial Day is Monday, all boxes will go out Tuesday. In essence, she was still waiting for an item to arrive, which was in a later post. And it seemed there is no way to cancel online?

PA Anna

To be fair to KloverBox – She posted on the KloverBox Facebook page on 5/21 that the boxes will be late. I posted about it on April’s thread. I do think that companies should email us when boxes will be late.

Tacie

I don’t mind waiting for a box, but since I don’t use Facebook I don’t receive the communication. I heard from PA Anna, not KB. That irks me. Luckily, I’ve been subbing to KB for long enough to know late boxes and lack of communication are not the norm. I’m consistently happy with their monthly choices so I’ll give the benefit of the doubt. This is KB’s first LE box coming out, so there might be some scrambling around and unforeseen circumstances associated with that.

Wendy

Yes, you are correct, but on May 22 she said in the same post boxes will go out Tuesday, 26th, and on the 26th, she posted a delivery note that the last item will be arriving. I am a new subscriber. I was charged a second box when my first had not arrived. They also clearly stated in the terms that boxes ship out 15th to 18th. Then I got a link Thursday and in essence the boxes were not even dropped off. I am just tired of companies giving you a ship link to shut you up, and in reality the boxes were not ready.

I liked the items in this month’s box more than last month’s box but I feel the same way about cancelling. I’ve only received 2 boxes from them and I haven’t really been impressed with either, especially the retail value relative to the cost of the box. I’m still on the fence about cancelling. I think we only have another day to decide before getting charged for next month’s box.

Just checked my sub account online and it shows a charge for next month was charged yesterday and is processing. I went ahead and deleted my card info because I didn’t see an option to cancel my sub. So I guess I may get at least one more box from them.

Emily S.

The lip butter is nice and I’ve used the Goddess Organics sunscreen before and liked it, but I’m glad I didn’t resubscribe. I expect a beauty box to be worth at least what I paid. I’ll continue to follow the box and see if the value improves.

Kim

Glad I didn’t subscribe when I thought about it. LOL today is sad day in Kim’s world. My severance pay has now run out so I’ve cancelled all but Yuzen, FFF, PS, LLB and Glossy Box. Whew that’s still 5. And of course any LE like PS or anything to with Liz. At least with all the former boxes I had done yearly subs so no matter going out now 🙂

Kim’s addiction :- cancelled at least 10 boxes!

Kelly

Wow, that’s impressive sub box culling. I’m down to 3 until I get my stash reduced. I’ve kept LLB, Rachel Zoe, and of course any box Liz curates.:0)
