2017_New_Subscription_Boxes_POST-HEADER

We learn about a few new subscription boxes every day! At the end of each month, we pick a few that seem interesting, fun, and/or unique, and let you vote for which ones we review next.

(This list isn't strictly boxes that just started in the last month, but boxes new to us, interesting boxes we've found, and boxes we want your feedback on!)

ICYMI: Before we get started on September's boxes, here are some boxes from last month that we've already reviewed thanks to your feedback! (More coming soon!)

As always, thank you for being an MSA reader and telling us your thoughts! The September poll is at the bottom of the post. And if there are other boxes you'd like to see us review that aren't listed here, please let us know in the comments!

JadeCrate or the Pico Boho box would be interesting to see a review for.

I would love the Jojo box for my daughter but I’m not paying 30+7 for shipping when I don’t even pay that for Boxycharm that gives me high end makeup products.

I think the wallflower box looks amazing, I think I will try it this month regardless if it gets reviewed.

The Gen XY box… what teen or tween has an extra $50 floating around each month?? The looks and sounds fun, and I like the emphasis on embracing and celebrating oneself, but seriously!

Bonnie

I think it’s something a parent buys for their daughter. Besides, don’t babysitters get upwards of 10 bucks an hour these days? And here in CT minimum wage is $10.10.

Please, pease, please review the skull box!! I’m a museum person and am really interested in the quality and source of the skulls. I’ve prepared hundreds of skulls and now need to learn more about this skull sunscription concept! Probably not very ethical from a museum’s perspective. I will say they aren’t really museum quality without data, but I’m still extremely curious!

The skull box has me wildly intrigued! I would love to hear more about it. That would definitely be one of my favorite spoilers each month!

Lacey, should the box “for younger tweens and teens” be the Gen Z box, instead of Gen X box? Or maybe we’ve just come full circle and I should have a lot more in common with tweens that I thought, lol.

Wow. This is the first time I couldn’t pick three to review. Nothing excited me this time.

Supernatural – it would be interesting to see a review or two before committing.

Love to see a Review on Rickys Nyc Cult Crushers. I don’t see much on it and last month I saw that they got a mini flat iron. I don’t know anything about the Subcription or the company

I emailed MSA the day I found out that this sub came out. It’s a great value from a beauty insider store in New York City. You can shop online at this store as well.

Here’s the link to the subscription. https://www.rickysnyc.com/cult-crushes-subscription.html

From there you can just go to the main store site and check it out to see what they have. They have a mix of high and low end stuff that are all cult faves. I started subbing their third month but they let me buy the first two boxes too so I have them all. Each one is a theme, like day-to-night or dramatic eyes. Each box usually has one item from their brand, RickyCare, and 4 other items that tie into the theme. For 11 bucks, it’s a neat sub and one that doesn’t have stuff you see everywhere else. CS has been great for me too. And, subscribers (I believe) get 25% off on their site.

That sub looks really fun especially for $11 and free shipping

That adventure box for women looks great.

Would love to see it reviewed. 🙂

Me too – I recently canceled Cairn and am still looking for a replacement!

I think I know someone who might get a kick out of skulls unlimited as a one off. I wonder about folks who would want a monthly sub to that long term who might sit around saying, “Gosh I can’t wait to get my skull this month.”

Luna

I’m so curious how MSA would go about reviewing that skull box. haha

Melanie

That’s the reason the skull box gets my vote Lol!!

Beccah

I would love the Wallflower box! I am the biggest introvert on the planet! I’m also interested in the unicorn box & the skull box!

Reply ButtonReply

Virginia

I am also an introvert but my 13 year old grandson has you beat. LOL

It is hard explaining to extroverts why he doesn’t smile much or mingle, etc.

Melissa W.

I thought I was the biggest introvert on the planet.. Second is nice too though..lol

Sammee

My vote is for the Wallflower box too. Introverts unite! Separately from our own individual homes of course 🙂
