Oui Please Subscription Box Review – Vol 1.4

The variation in these boxes gives people serious FOMO and I think makes people generally more unhappy than they would have been. Also this one is heavy on beauty items and that not my personal preference but many of the items are very very nice.

The Oui Please website is unavailable…I was going to check and see if any of the tote bags were available online, but then I got an error message. Hope it’s just a fluke and that they did not go out of business. I purchased a yearly sub…

I totally loved my parcel! I included in the comment section my bra size in order to avoid fitting issues I think they read the comment and I did’t received a shirt that wouldn’t fit me.

I don’t think values are inflated. The items are high quality. For the record I currently use products from: Sisley; L’Occitane & Leonor Greyl and compared the quality of the items. My opinion is that received items are between L’Occitane – Sisley and so is their price point. The Pier Auge body moisturizer is to die for and indeed is a moisturizer not a lotion.

I think we are way too used to Fast Fashion and currently underestimate and undervalue quality.

Only thing I agree with most are the coasters but only because they are super thin. Instead of the coasters I would have preferred a candle with a beach scent but I know that makes shipping costs higher and they sent a candle in one of their previous parcel.

I received the same items as forum commenter Kim.

Will someone please swap or sell their beach tote bag from Oui please 1.4. I had a chance at one but as soon as I requested the swap I was “cancelled” and the listing disappeared. Also tried to swap and buy the whole box with the tote bag but I guess I was outbid…I would swap my leopard 1951 large clutch for one of the beach bags. Anyone out there interested?…[email protected].

I Want this box! Anyone with a yearly sub want to sell for cost plus shipping?

Why my comment was erase ?
I post all the links for almost all the products with the real prices…
Too much links ?

I received the tshirt with a lot of yellow stains, sent multiple emails but no answers so far. It is also too small and while I understand they are european sizes (I am french) there is no option for bigger than XL on their website. I contacted them a while back to ask for a 1X option and to please try not to add clothing that would be too small but no luck and mostly no answers….
I don’t mind breaking even on cost of boxes if they are well curated and there is good customer service but this is a little stressful when it is supposed to be fun. All the lies from 1.3, 1 month and half to send something extra and tons of emails sent and now stained items.
Try the world had a delay this month, what did they do? they sent an email BEFORE the boxes usually ship apologizing for the delay and explaining that one of the japanese item was stuck in custom. That was the right thing to do and it is not hard to be honest.

The price are so inflated !! Wow ! It makes me feel ripe off…
I am French and I know that all the prices in France are taxes included.
– The little bag “reveuse” is 22 euros : https://www.luluenprovence.com/pochettes/ecru-reveuse.html
– I couldn’t find the lavender but the hand cream which cost much more than some flowers is (in the same pot ) 8 $ : http://lafare1789.com/en/sublime-hands-cream/9-creme-mains-sublimes.html
– No way that the T-shirt is 40$. But I couldn’t find it.
– The nougat bar is 4$ on amazon and in other reseller store in France.
– The Sothys sun screen is a discontinued item : http://www.lovelyskin.com/o/sothys-soins-soleil-cellu-guard-sun-sensitive-care-spf-30. I also find this information in French website.
– The Pier auge carresse agrume is 39Euros : http://www.pierauge.com/caresse-agrumes-baume-corporel-a-l-huile-essentielle-de-pamplemousse-tous-types-de-peaux-boutique-4-14-116.html
– The graine and pastel body balm is 33 euros : https://www.grainedepastel.com/en-eu/nourishing-care-3/20-face-and-body-butter/
– And the hand cream is 14 euros : https://www.grainedepastel.com/en-gb/nourishing-care-3/21-hand-cream/
– The rose mist is 19 Euros : http://www.douxme.com/produit/rose-mist/?lang=en

Well, It’s not right to lie so much…Don’t you think ?

I don’t like how they dramatically over inflate the prices of the products. It makes me cautious of them and their products. For example the body cream is currently on sale on a french website for 39.90 Euro and per google’s exchange rates that would be $43.45 US which is dramatically lower than the $80 price tag they include. The original cost before sale price is 53.20 Euro which calculates to $57.93 which is still not even close to $80! I was considering buying this sub box but with the way the prices are misrepresented I don’t think I want to. I can only use a few things in the box anyway.

i want that tee and the beach towel!!!

I got

Ladies & Bees Earrings (single ones) $45
Baume De Cocagne $50
Hand Crème $30
Body Caresse Agrume $80
Orange Blossom Mist $35
Little Marcel Clutch $35
Lavender Flower Jar $20
Tote Bag $80
Nougat Bar $20

Total $395

I am not counting in the coasters because they are pretty ridiculous. BUT, I am really pleased with my box. A little heavy on the lotions but there is only a couple of items I am swapping this time.

Has anyone else NOT received their box yet?! I never receive a tracking number and have read that some other yearly subscribers don’t either but it seems like everyone has gotten theirs but me!! 😮

I think agrume means bergamot in French.

I wouldn’t pay $40 for a canvas makeup bag, ever, or $50 for these earrings. Pass.

There are so many subscription boxes that are reviewed on MSA that get a pass for having values at or slightly below the subscription cost because of the value of things like having the box curated, and not having to pay for shipping from each manufacturer. Oui Please is being hung out to dry for not having $400 worth of value in every box, but I’ve never seen a single person complain that they received less than the dollar amount they paid for the box. Not to mention the packaging, shipping from France, shipping to customers and customs charges has to cost a fair amount as well. Granted Oui Please set themselves up for the complaints with their advertising, and people should be held to their advertised word, but it really does seem like everyone gets their money’s worth. If Oui Please just stopped advertising things they couldn’t meet, kept variations balanced, improved customer service and quality control (no cheap, over-priced jewelry or paper, made-in-the-USA “coasters”), they would be so spectacular there would be so many less complaints. It is so hard to watch this company repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot when I want so much what they say they are selling. Where else am I going to get made-in-France, imported luxury products that I’ve never heard of the brands before? I skipped this month because I am moving, but I’ll probaldly resubscribe after I’ve moved, problems and all.

I’m actually really pleased with this box, mine was a huuuuuuuuuge improvement over my 1.3 parcel. I received:
-The Ladies & Bees earrings (3 hexagons)
-Graine de Pastel body lotion
-Graine de Pastel hand cream
-Pier Auge body cream
-Orange blossom face mist
-Life is Beautiful t-shirt
-Little Marcel Pimidol Clutch
-Jar of Lavender
-the coasters
-Indigo Cabas tote
-Nougat bar in creme brûlée
Total value according to Oui Please: $460. So, although I would have loved some of the other jewelry in the magazine, I’m calling this one a win! Such a vast improvement over my last box that it almost seems to be a different company. Unfortunately, I subscribed to the annual box so I’m hoping this momentum can continue.

Delete if not appropriate but Oui Please is having an instagram, facebook twitter contest for box reveals. The hashtag is #iloveouiplease. The top three get a best of Oui Please box (maybe lots and lots of lotion?). Could there be a 1951 clutch?!?! Anyway, who doesn’t love free stuff!

Mine was a bit different (you can click my name to see it) and I really liked mine a lot! I felt it was a bit lotion heavy for most people.

The funny thing is that the grapefruit lotion smells like citrus until it sits on your skin, then it sort of smells like a cologne for men. I had to use a new deodorant the same day I wore the lotion for the first time and I thought I must have used a guys scent! Then I figured it all out because obviously I am a genius.

I used the 20% coupon and I felt pretty happy with the value even if it was inflated RV wise. I never pay attention to that very much anyway…

This box is cute.. I may just try to swap for the couple of items that interest me. Glad I recently canceled due to their customer service & LOW value from the last box..

I know this is silly, but I actually laminated the coasters. Lol! I got the Little Woman Paris earrings, yippy!

I also got earrings from Ladies and Bees, but instead of the t-shirt and Sothys, I got the blue and silver Objets Obscurs bracelet. I wanted both those pieces of Jewelry, so I am beyond happy. Besides the coasters, I loved every part of this box. I tried to ration out the nougat, but it was so delicious. I got the macaron flavor. I’m using the blue body creme and I would describe the scent as herbal. It feels as indulgent as a spa visit. I got the orange Doux Me spray and I like it, but would have preferred the rose because it is for combination skin and the Orange is for dry skin.

Appears I am in the minority, but thought this box was fun! It had a summery vibe and thought there was great variety. Looks like all boxes contained the face, hand and body products and the candy, lavender and the coasters. I am going to put them on greeting cards .. Should be cute!love the Lulu pouches and the jewelry pieces are beautiful. The Little Women pieces are beautiful! The tee is so cute..I think the secret with French sizing is to go up a size! The towel is thick and beefy! Still my favorite along with the Rachel Zoe box….loved it!

I’ve been with them since the first box, and cancelled after this one. I could list off a litany of little gripes, but I’ll be constructive – this box needs: honest pricing, less variation (I’ve yet to get any of the big items in my boxes except a sweater that was several sizes too small) and lastly – SOME element of customization – I’m thinking one or two items you can choose, the way FFF does it. That would cut down on box envy, big time. They do that much and I’m back.

I got the same box minus the sunscreen! I laughed out loud when I read your comment on how the magazine shows you items you wished you had gotten! I felt the same way!
I have decided for the future to ignore spoilers for this box so I won’t be hoping for any particular items.
When I priced the items off the internet I got around $240 for my box (seems like all items were inflated similar to the lotion) but I too signed up with the 20% off coupon so I can’t complain the value is still there.
I would have loved any of the jewelry but the Ladies and Bees earrings I received are simple and will get a lot of use (plus they are handcrafted!) even though they were not my first choice.
And lastly, am I the only one who thinks Doux Me is a hilarious name for a company?

I received the same box, minus the sunblock and I received one of the knit bracelets. Honestly, after the 1.3 debacle, it’s hard for them to impress me. I like it well enough. I still will be swapping or gifting a good majority of the items though.

My comment disappeared, but long story short, I received a bracelet not listed in the magazine and on my printout it’s listed as worth $50, but it’s actually 7 Euros cheaper on the Objets Obscurs website. I stand corrected, my bracelet is actually at least 14 Euros less than those in the magazine.
