Am I seeing correctly? The items displayed total 9 items and everyone who has posted received 8.
I know the promo says “at least 8 items”, but one extra product sent out to bloggers and (not to customers) makes the photo appear more full than what was really being included.
I’ve seen other sites posts on the boxes received by the bloggers and they too received an extra item. Why do companies do that?

Maybe they were trying to make the values comparable across different combinations of items. The 9 items here are a total value of $177.83, and the 8 items I got have a total value of about $204. Which I’m fine with. And yeah like a previous comment said, it delivers on what was promised (8+ items valued at $150+).

I’m pretty sure the box above WASN’T sent to Liz, she thanks someone else for the spoilers.

I have no idea what MSA received, if anything. And yes, the title does say “spoiler”- and I’d assume we all know the difference between that and a review by now.
But there are other bloggers who did receive and review their boxes (not spoilers) and every one of the four blogs where I read posted 9 items received.
My question was simply why do companies inflate in the promos (or send higher value promo boxes to bloggers) and then deliver something different to the paying public?
GlossyBox and Target both come to mind as recent past offenders, but I can name half a dozen other subs where this has been an issue. I was hoping this box wasn’t going down that same path before I subscribe.

Having never subscribed to this box, all the products are new to me – except maybe 1 that I think I have in a larger size unless it’s a slightly different mask by the same brand. 4 skincare & 4 makeup items.
4 are the same as Liz:
Mullein & Sparrow Lemon Rose Face Wash
Shea Terra Rose Hips Black Soap Deep Pore Facial Cleanser
Palmetto Rejuvenating Antioxidant mask
Lauren Brooks Corrective Concealer (Peach Veil)
4 that others mentioned in comments:
Moody Sisters Herbal Blend Dry Skin Cream (I’m loving the peppermint/lavendar scent!)
Lauren Brooks Lip Color in Sangria
Mirabella Love Velvet Lip Pencil
Manna Kadar Dream Palette

Ah, so disappointed I did not get the concealer or the glitter eyeliner!! I got: (like Liz) the Franklin & Whitman serum, Lauren Brooks Cosmetics lip color, and Mullein & Sparrow face wash, but the rest of my items were: Sweat Pretty setting spray, Mirabella love velvet lip pencil, Terre Mere angled eyeliner brush, Manna Kadar palette, and Moody Sisters Herbal Blend Dry Skin cream. Really would’ve preferred to get the concealer and glitter eyeliner, but my box is still a good value ($204).
I’m also a bit disappointed because I got the LE box as well, so now have 2 each of the palette, rose face wash, and serum. At least the palette will make a good gift, and I most wanted the BB cream that’s worth more than the cost of the box. The medium shade looks perfect on my light-medium neutral skin (I’m half-Filipino, half-Caucasian, tan really easily in the summer but can get pretty pale/yellow in the winter).

I got the same bag and so upset and disappointed. So make up heavy – two lipsticks one bright red another dark burgundy. Eye brush and make up setting spray. Pus the pallet. I thought I would try something unique but can care less about brush, would never use make up setting (if anyone want it) and lipsticks colors are not everyday wear. Have bunch of pallets. First time I truly hate my box.

FYI – the Lauren Brooke Lip color in Sangria is not dark at all… it’s very sheer. It gives my lips a light, pretty tint – very moisturizing – and I actually wish it was a little more opaque. But I like it!

– High Endurance Cosmetics “Sweat Pretty” setting spray
– Mommy Makeup Stay Put Matte lip cream in “Heather”

Box Twins! Love everything I got, especially the Walnut Hill Face Serum- I tried my daughters and loved it!

Seeing the picture of all of the goodies makes me almost wish I had purchased the mystery box. But I didn’t since I’ve been subbed to Benevolent Beauty since its inception (and I purchased their LE box during the holidays too), so these would have all been duplicates for me. Maybe if I go home and compile all of these into a box, then I’ll feel better. Ha!

Thank goodness this box is sold out or I would have bought it after seeing this review, and I’m already on product overload. I hope they offer it again.

Same here!
Looks like a great box mix and value, I would totally buy it in the future ✔

I hope everyone is reading the ingredients even though the product is touted as being -free. That Medusas lip paint has parabens, despite BB saying it does not.

Dinah
You are right, even on Medusa’s website they say “paraben free” but the ingredients clearly say methyl and propyl paraben. That’s crazy misleading info.

I emailed Rachel about it and she said they just print the info the companies give them. As you saw, the ingredients were clearly visible. And she just left it at that. I canceled my subscription. They are a more expensive so my expectations are higher.

My box is due to arrive on Friday and I can’t wait! I hope my box is similar as I think every item you got is great.

So, I’m clicking on the link for the mystery box and it takes me straight to cratejoys page and it says nothing about the mystery box. Is this only for current subscribers?

Sorry this box has sold out, but I just updated the link to go to the sold out page. Hope that helps!

This box is outstanding! I love every dang product and the lemon face wash is scrumptious! I’m sick that it’s sold out. I went on as soon as I received the email and ordered one. Went through paypal, thought I had completed the transaction, but looking at my account I guess the transaction did not go through. 😞 Glossy box is no comparison to Benevolent Beauty!

Hi Alyce,
I got that lemon face wash in the last benevolent mystery box a month or so ago and I ordered a box this time too. If I get another lemon face wash when I get my box you can have it. I have so many face cleansers it’s crazy. I have never traded or given away products so I am not sure exactly how we do it but it’s yours if you want it. You can even have the one I have if I don’t get a new one but I did open the bottle to smell it so you may not want the one I already have. Let me know.

Oh my gosh. I don’t know whether to thank you or curse you for posting this. I didn’t get the face wash in my box, so I went to the website to check it out and ended up getting that, a scrub and some candle sets that were 30% off plus the 50% off of everything (yes, stacked on the candles)…with free shipping and a free lip balm. Haha. I just couldn’t pass it up! Thanks for the tip!

I got almost the same stuff. Except instead of the Lemon Rose face wash, Medusa Makeup lip paint and the Lauren Brooke concealer I got the Tumeric Face scrub from the January box ($15.88) and the Manna Kadar palette ($39) and Mommy Makeup Stay Put Matte lip cream in Heather ($22) from the Special Edition box. So happy! I love that Mommy Makeup lip cream!!
