Better Half Box for Women Subscription Review – July 2015

I cancelled after this July Box (I had also received June)–strange that nothing is accessable– has anyone been charged for August?

Little concerning…I went to cancel my subscription after receiving only 1 box, and their website is no longer valid?????

Wow. That is one of the worst sub boxes I’ve seen. It looks like a collection of clearance items. Hopefully they don’t send expired food, at least.

I thought the “better half” name meant the male and female boxes would be shipped together and arrive together. Then you would open them with your significant other. I saw another commenter mention the themes should coordinate, which would be cool too. It could be a way to get the BF to understand the subscription craze. Might be too difficult to execute though.

I would be hesitant to give that purse to any child, as I am sure the lead content is through the roof. Google China made bags and lead.

These kind of remind me of the sesame boxs some of us got a few months back.

I would have thought since they are “better half” boxes that the themes would have complimented each other. Weird.

Considering that this nail polish is on permanent clearance for fifty cents at my local drugstore, and the other items look like products I’d find at the Dollar Tree… yeesh.

I bought a Living Social deal for this box. The website says they will send you an introductory box (not necessarily that month’s box). I sent a FB message to see if that would mean I could end up with their first box (May). I think it’s called Movie Star Gorgeous. It was great!!! I definitely didn’t want the June beach box and would have been super bummed with this box. The one I received had a full set of makeup brushes, a full size sugar scrub, a movie trivia game, and a stemless wine glass plus some other stuff. The men’s May box seemed pretty cool too. I dropped the sub after the living social deal, but I think it’s still on and you might ask to see if you’d get the May box. It is definitely worth the LS price.

I agree that the curation is a miss. I imagine that if you’re a small company that it’s difficult to get well known brands to work with you initially, but I think very thoughtful curation can make up for that. I also think that at this point subscribers expect a certain level of quality because so many other boxes are able to deliver it and that it’s very disappointing when you feel like you couldn’t even gift the contents of the box because the quality is so poor. Hopefully they’ll either up their curation game or reduce the price of the box.

I received those in a Love With Food box maybe last year, and they were sooo good!

I love that the purse is faux leather. I won’t wear real leather, so I hate all the real leather bags that get thrown in these boxes. However, I wish it looked a bit more quality.

The ice cream bowl fits because it screams “southern country hospitality” to me. But yeah, that magnetic nailpolish is a theme miss.

They should probably market these boxes as for teens instead of adults, i don’t get the whole better half thing

I just literally LOL’d when I saw the picture of the handbag and value of $6.99. I don’t think your review was harsh at all. Why didn’t they include a $1.99 belt to match? Reminds me of the French box that put .99 cent bath beads in.

Oh dear, I’m not sure what they’re going for with this box, but it’s definitely not for me. It seems like they just threw a few imported items together, like things you could get from Oriental Trading.

Unfortunately, I agree! I was looking forward to the review of this since I saw the Better Half for Men review, but if this was the first box I received upon subscribing, I would be canceling right away.

Hope to hear that it improves in the future.
