GMA Discover The Deal Box Available Now + Spoilers!

I got my box yesterday. Some hits and some misses, but overall a good value. (Maybe not quite the amazing value I’d hyped myself up for, considering some of the samples were very very small – but there was enough in there that I would have specifically paid at least $40 for so I got my money’s worth.)

I was a bit worried when I opened the box and the first thing I saw were some weird socks with OK sign hands on them! But the second patterned sock had unicorns and the solids are nice, so overall it was a winner.

The biggest hit for me was the Julep oxygen nail treatment stuff. Great coverage (one brush full did all 10 nails) – and the shade is exactly what I have been looking for for french manicures – a sort of translucent ivory that makes the nails look really healthy and glossy. Technically it says it is used best on its own since it isn’t a normal polish, but I don’t think white tips would hurt. I’ve been debating whether to sign up for Julep down the road, so this is a good first impression for the brand.

The second biggest hit for me was the perfume. The scent is interesting and weirdly does seem like the ‘dark fairytale’ sister to a DNKY green apple perfume I have.

The biggest ‘miss’ for me was in the skin care samples. Some were so small! There was only one screen wipe, too. The glycerin soap was nice enough (pretty snowflake) but they shipped it in a plastic back, so the glycerin got all over the bag and smudged the soap. They should be more careful with wrapping soap.

Also a miss for me was the baby peel. I was looking forward to trying this – but I got lavender scented and am allergic to lavender. I’ll put it up for swap if I ever get off the waitlist.

I got the Apt 9 glasses so wrote customer service – hopefully, they will send a code for the Foster Grant glasses on the website.

So I’m not disappointed with the box. It’s about what I expected for the price. Unlike some others I luckily did receive the actual FosterGrant sunglasses and Baby Foot is always a favorite! What I am pretty bummed about is the socks! The deciding factor for me purchasing this box was the fact that I needed liner socks and the description states 4 pair of liner socks. I received 4 pair of low-cut socks. Although they are cute I definitely did not need more low cut socks.

How did this package arrive? I am trying to get shipping updates, but nothing is showing up except that my shipment is confirmed.

No box arrival yet, but I did get that Foster Grant email. I had my husband pick out a pair of sunglasses, because his broke in Las Vegas. So….. If the box stinks, at least we know he will have a good pair of sunglasses for next summer.

I have listed most of the items in this box up for swap. click on my name for my swap listings.

For those of you disappointed in this box, my impression of value just drastically changed! I received an email this evening with a unique code for $20 off a pair of Foster Grant sunglasses. This included free shipping as well. Most of the styles on the Foster Grant site are priced at $20…so my out of pocket was ZERO. It even let me upgrade to overnight shipping for free. My return on investment for this box just got a whole lot better!

I regret this box too! I think I was just overly excited about the babyfoot. There are a few things I can use/gift but the rest is junk imo. I hope Liz does a review I would love to see what she says.

For those that thought the box looked small.. it’s exactly what is in the picture. Mine even had some of the crinkle paper sticking out from the sides of it! It isn’t a great packing material because my julep polish package was scuffed and candle dented. Unless they were like that before?

The glasses are $10 “Madonna” style. My dented travel candle has the sticker off center and the smell is not pleasing at all. I only received one tattoo. My socks have pandas on them. The big “travel” soap is handmade by a USA company but does not list ingredients. It appears to have glitter? It smells like a fake clean scent and is in a plastic bag that is really unattractive for gift giving imo. The company has better options on their website, I wish they had included a shrink wrapped loofa sponge instead or bath bomb.

Im sorry – but I actually really like my box – it came today and I think for $40 it has some good things in it.
I’m a nail junkie and I love Julep polishes, I am from NYC and for some reason you cant find vendors selling socks anymore on the street – and paying more than $1 is just ridiculous, the feet peel thing is awesome because again I’m into doing home mani’s and pedi’s and the glasses will do – even though my brother works for the biggest glass making company out there (I’m talking Fendi, Chanel, Gucci, RayBan, Tiffany for more then half retail- Im wearing my faux Micheal Kors clear glasses that go with everything, lol) he’ll scoff at me cause he hates when I dont get ‘nice shades’ but these glasses will do just fine.

I regret this buy so much! what a rip off.
very disappointing. definitely not worth the money. It was one thing to read about the items or see the one picture they had in the advertising but then in person its so disappointing.

I just got my box today, and I’m not feeling like these are actually Foster Grant sunglasses. I could be wrong, but there’s no branding and no tag except for a cling sticker on one lens that says APT.9. Isn’t that a Kohl’s store brand? I’m really confused and feeling a little misled and cheated. 🙁 Sorry if this posts twice. I don’t think my first one posted.

So, I just got mine, and I’m not feeling like these are Foster Grant sunglasses. I could be wrong, but there’s no tag and no branding on them…except a cling sticker on one lens that says APT.9…which is a Kohl’s store brand?? I’m so confused and feeling a little misled and cheated.

Just got the shipping notice. 1.9lbs? I was expecting it to be a little bit heavier lol.

Pretty Rotten is the only fragrance from Tokyo Milk that I don’t like so I’ll be giving that to someone. I doubt it’s full size. It’s likely the trial size rollerball or mini dabber.

So glad I got 1 as soon as I saw the post!😊

Sold out… 😢

Sold out

I need it! No you don’t. Yes I do. But you don’t. I do.

Argghhh……

Just typing this out to talk myself out of it.

Want the socks.

Want the Baby Foot (LOOOOOOVE the peeling….I’m sick that way)

Sunglasses not my style (could pawn them off on husband though…just for them to be lost within a week).

Have a few cooling towels already.

Already have backups of Supersmile.

Not a tattoo person.

Way too pale for medium shades of makeup.

Don’t need any more scrubs (have so many full size ones now thanks to hoarding)

Would probably hate the perfume.

Ok….I’ve got myself on the don’t get it side of the fence (just barely leaning though…LOL)

That box is so tiny for 19 items.

I have been wanting to try that perfume….

Ok ladies. You almost had me. Almost pulled the trigger. Until I saw that the Amazing Cosmetics AmazingConcealer shade is Medium Beige. So that’s a guaranteed item that I won’t be able to use.

I’m being very selective leading up to the holiday deals.

Oh wow! I love Tokyo Milk so that’s a big selling point for me – those sunglasses are right up my alley, I always need socks….

This seems like a great pick me up box that I’m desperately in need of after today!

Ohhh god give me strength. I love a TRUE mystery box. No repeats like Popsugar. I looked all over for a place to sign up for emails but I couldn’t find. I wonder if they make Christmas boxes too. My birthday is next month that could be my reason. I gotta do it. Help me!

I was on the fence until I read the comments then rushed to order. You all are such a bad influence. I love it.

The pictured Tokyo Milk is #33, Pretty Rotten. (Apple + Rose)

Looks to me like it might not be full sized.

this little spoiler helps too:
