The main items I wanted from this box were the pmd Kiss and the Grandelips. The Grandelips isn’t the clear stuff I thought it would be, its some ugly brown liquid lipstick that I couldn’t use in a million years. And the pmd Kiss wasn’t actually in the box, only a tiny sample tube of the serum, but what use is the serum without the device you need to use it with? Why would they only send the little tube? Am I missing something or was this just really misleading? Everything in this box is suuuper tiny, except the giant jar of dietary supplement, which, no thanks.

did you try the pmd kiss? i did end up trying it… it’s terrible!!! it does nothing and leave a coat on your mouth like toothpaste film after brushing your teeth. white coat. then you rub it in and your lips are all dry and cakey. just terrible. i don’t know that it would be any better with the device, honestly. 🙁

No, I didn’t try it yet because I thought it was something you needed the device to make work. From your experience, it doesn’t sound like it works well on its own.

This box is crazy amazIng! Makes me feel better after the Happy Rebel Mystry Box scandal.

I got my 2nd one today, and was just as excited as the 1st one….😀..was seriously considering cancelling all my subs…Allure and Glossybox, and signing up for Test Tube…Any thoughts? Happy Holidays to all..

Well, TestTube is all skincare, no makeup (or almost none).
It depends on what you want. For me it was not a good fit because I prefer receiving makeup in my boxes.

I ordered on 12/05, and just got my tracking. My box should be here by 12/29. 🙁 I was hoping to use some of this for stocking stuffers.

I ordered on 12/06 and I received my shipping/tracking info at 12:16 this morning. It’s shipping from CT, and the scheduled delivery is 12/27. FedEx is the carrier, so that usually means it will come a day or so later than originally scheduled. Luckily it is for me and not a Christmas gift.

Hi all! I ordered mine on December 4th and still have not received my box. They are usually good about Shipping when they say they will but so far, no correspondence from them. Whoever said patience is a virtue?!?😗

Ordered on December 4th and it still hasn’t shipped. I emailed and got “We apologize for the delay and inconvenience. Your order has been processed. Delivery time can delay 2-3 weeks. Tracking information will be sent via email once it is available. Allow time for delivery.” Is any one else still waiting?

I just got my box today! So many things, and lots of info. I put most of it away until I can sort through it when the kids are napping.
However, I did try the Grande Lips right away when I realized it doubled as a lipstick – I love it so far! It’s colorfast within a minute or so – I’ve never had a lipstick that didn’t transfer or wear off with eating to some degree. The color is great and not something I have (since I usually shy away from darker shades – but this one is perfect for my skin tone.) It tingles a little for a couple minutes then stops. It’s not over drying – my lips still feel soft (though it isn’t super hydrating like some balms, either.)

Well, I caved and I just got another one…my skin really loved the Lift Lab (I use it on areas of wrinkles only, and then stick wrinkle tape over it so it really presses in before bedtime, and I sleep with the tape on). Marvelous result and the sample will last a long time with this method. I also liked the neck cream–it had kind of poor reviews on the web, but it def is making a difference for me. All else in the box = bonus.

I too ordered another…hope they don’t run out of the good stuff..this is the first time I have been this pleased with a special edition box…Any box really…

What’s wrinkle tape? I need to know! 😉
Reply
Paige
I use these things called Facial Smoothies, they are like a thicker version of regular scotch tape–and they come in shapes (which I cut to fit areas I want to use them). You are supposed to gently pull skin so a wrinkle is flattened, then put the strips over the gently pulled skin to “smooth” the wrinkle after wearing them for a period of time. I sleep on my side so I have some sleep wrinkles around the side of my nose area where my face smashes into the pillow. I now put anti-wrinkle or hydrating serum/creams on the wrinkle, put the strip over it so it almost forms a mask cover, and sleep with the strip on. I don’t know if the strip makes the wrinkle less prominent on it’s own, or the product is being pushed in better and working better (or both), or if the strip is just not making my skin smash in the same area, but I have had excellent results smoothing the wrinkle out. I like these strips better than the Frownies brand for the purpose i use them for.

Can someone tell me if we should receive a shipping notification or tracking number when this ships? I was charged last week, but haven’t heard anything since.

I didn’t get a shipping email either. It took about ten days total from my order date to arrive at my door.
Reply

That’s good to know! That means mine could arrive any day now. I am quite spoiled by having tracking numbers on almost every purchase.

I have not received any shipping notification. Box just showed up outside m6 door on Saturday. Happy with content.

Thanks for responding. Hopefully mine will show up this week! I am really looking forward to this one.

If this is anything like the original box DON’T do it!! The customer service is the worse, as well as the interface of the site, and they make constant errors. I canceled my subscription to the original box–and wouldn’t even try this one.

Anyone else missing the PMD Kiss Smart Lip Plumping Serum?
Reply
Luna
Not me. I confirmed, I got everything in the box. I’m a bit shocked by that because it seems whenever I buy boxes like these, I’m almost always missing one product… fortunately, it’s usually a product I’d gift anyways though.
Did you squish all of the shredded papers to make sure you didn’t miss it? If I remember correctly when I opened my box today I almost missed a tiny white tube in the white shredded paper, which I think it was hiding under all of the flat products like the hand & foot masks. I can’t recall if it was the lip plumper, but I’m pretty sure that came in a pretty small white tube. Maybe double check your box? I hope you find it!

I ordered two. Mainly because when I LOVE something from this box, I need more than the sample size to see results. Yet I don’t really want to pay full price either, lol.

I got my tracking on 12/2 and it says box 2 so there must be different variations.

I think everybodys has a 2 after it (at least from everyone that’s commented about it so far). I think that’s because this is the 2nd Beauty Report box that’s ever come out. But, we’ll definitely see once people start getting their boxes. 🙂

Doll 10 isn’t even in the issue of Beauty Report, so it just seems like a random item thrown in.

Liz…The only blue bottle in the Beauty Report magazine is the NeoStrata Skin Active Triple Firming Neck Cream.. so I think that’s what it is..

I ordered this after seeing the spoilers. I have a surplus of products already and I really need to stop purchasing more, but this seems like an amazing value and there are some great items in this box that I look forward to trying. Thanks to everyone for sharing the spoilers and item info, it really helped me make my decision.
I’m curious, is the GrandeLips an actual lipstick, and if so, what shade did everyone get?
And what shade is the Pur Lisse BB? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Reply
Laura
I got mine this morning. I received the Grande Lips Hydra Plump Liquid Lipstick in ‘Buttered Rum’ color…. Purlisse BB means Beauty Balm. It is generally a tinted moisturizer with SPF. I use a BB every day. It gives you some coverage with a glow to your skin and has sun protection which is a must.
Reply
Laura
Oops, read your question wrong. You asked what ‘shade’! Nevermind
Lin
It’s caller buttered rum, a matte liquid lipstick type of deal…surprisingly flattering :/ when I first looked at it I was ready to toss it, but tried it on just to check out the formula and for a poopy brown, it actually looks good on my face 😁 and it totally transferproof!! And when I don’t feel like brown, it looks like it will be a nice base for some pink or glittery gloss, or maybe a dark red over it…glad to have a totally different color (fantastic formula) to play with!!!

Carla
I think we were commenting at the same time! Thanks for responding. I’m happy to hear that the color works well for you! I’m not very bold when it comes to lip colors, but you have given me a little hope. I like the idea of plumping/hydration benefits, so I hope the color isn’t totally hideous on me, lol.

Received my box today.The grande lips is Butter Rum, semi matte cinnamon color.

Cool! They do have colored glosses. I gift all lip plumpers to my friend, so she’ll be happy to get a non-clear one. 🙂
Luna
I may be wrong, but I don’t believe Grande Lips does colored lip glosses. I only recall seeing their lip plumper as a clear lip gloss. I don’t have access to my magazine right now, so I can’t check to make sure.

I think for $29 total this is an unbelievable deal even if I won’t use everything.
Reply
Luna
Totally agree. 🙂 Now that I’m back to subbing, I’m being extremely selective on my purchases of the one-time boxes that are coming out. So for only $29, and knowing the types of brands New Beauty usually features, I just couldn’t pass it up!
