Cosmo Box Subscription Review + Coupon – April 2018

First time iv heard of it..$29.99 plus $6.00 for shipping? I sub to Boxycharm,ipsy,Allure and Sephora Play..love sub boxes because of the value and to try out different brands..I’m skipping this one.

This is horrible. Ive been a cosmo mag fan girl since i was 11. Thats 16 years now people. Never missed a month. Always check out the site. Love their books and guides, etc. And this box and the past months dont live up to the cosmo girl style or name AT ALL. i would never purchase this box. Its like some months you get decent things but most months you get dollar products saying they are worth more. I cant believe cosmo would so shamelessly rip their readers, fans and customers off like this. For 26 dollars a box there are better boxes out there with better stuff and a lot more value. The random without a reason mix of liter sheiza is bull if im being completely honest and i dont believe anyone just has to have this box and couldnt live without it. And honestly if you subscribe how often do you use what they send? How cheap is the quality? Very? I bet. And how often have you opened the box and felt so disappointed you’d felt like you were basically robbed? I would. Unless you’ve got disposable income where you wouldn’t notice if 20 bucks went missing out of your bank account I’d pass and go to a cheaper better box like boxycharm or go all in for an amazing box like fab fit fun. Cosmo, do us all a favor and get your act together or get out of the sub box game.

I’ve been waiting for this box to improve, but I don’t think that time is coming. So trashy and tone deaf. What a waste.

You would think when this box was being finalized someone on the Cosmo team would have shouted…”Have you lost your mind”??? Who knows. Maybe someone did but lost the battle. Ha!

These Cosmo boxes are such misses for me. WAY too over priced for what you get. The products seem cheaply made and the value the box lists is ridiculously over estimated IMO. And I agree aside from maybe the boss lady plastic coffee mug, none of these seem “cosmo” to me. They need to do way better if they want to compete with the other legit sub boxes.

I would never have that cup on my desk and I am the boss of the office. I think it is so condescending and self important. If you have to shove it in everyone’s face you aren’t a good one.

Hustle darling? In today’s climate there is no way this should be on anyone’s desk, man or woman.

I think this whole box is insulting this month.

Not too harsh at all. It screams early Jersey Shore to me.

Fair review, Liz. Also I wanted to add that I associate Boss Lady with what the ladies of MLM companies call themselves. Not for me, the title has been too tainted for me.

I’m finding it very strange that MSA readers are objecting to the term “boss lady” here and embracing the term “slut” in the comments from the SlutBox review. What???

Who is even the target audience for this box? My industry is conservative, but there is no way I would feel comfortable using those pens or travel mug at work, much less the business card holder. I know the magazine includes sections for the “professional woman” but the pop feminist novelty phrases are really tone deaf.

My two cents…Cosmo is always out of touch. I think that is very obvious from their magazine. This box looks like a TJMaxx clearance section dump. I don’t think it’s well curated or unique. There are a lot of boxes where I want at least one item. This box? I honestly don’t want any of it.

Scream Cosmo??
Sorry, this doesn’t even whisper Cosmo!

So far every Cosmo box has been a miss for me….the February box was the only one that seemed like it was a Cosmo box even if it wasn’t my taste….just my opinion! Agree with you Liz 100%!!

I think that terms like ‘girl boss’ and ‘boss lady’ are patronizing and slightly insulting. How about just ‘boss’?

Liz I feel the same, this is a miss for me. Nothing screams Cosmo at all.

I say you’re way too harsh on this box, Liz.

Got this box for $19.50 with the promo code, and the value is $67. And I like everything in the box. I’m thrilled.

I agree this doesn’t really look like a box Cosmo put together, but I’m hoping someone wants to trade their “level up” bracelet!

Everything looks good on Liz 👌🏼 Even a plain 15.00 silver bracelet looks good on her. She’s so perfect in everything she wears. It makes it easy to want everything lol

This box never seems to have a hero item. Just a bunch of filler.

I think this is a good solid box for $26. When I think the other boxes in this price range it far surpasses them. And I personally liked everything. Everything is very cute & trendy. I don’t understand the negativity.

It’s a random box of stuff ☹

Seems like a imposter box to me! I wouldn’t want anything in this box if all I had to pay was shipping

You can always tell when Liz doesn’t like something because she literally just describes it with no comment. LOL.

Liz, I’ve noticed that you capitalize ingredient names when you write reviews, and I wonder why. These are not proprietary names, and shouldn’t be capitalized. Even “stevia” is not capitalized.

I don’t think Liz is being harsh at all. I don’t subscribe to this box, but I definitely don’t want to. If it weren’t called “Cosmo Box”, I would have no idea it’s affiliated with the magazine. I can’t discern a theme to this box, their curation seems both cheap and erratic, and I have never once wanted to swap for any of the items in any of the boxes.
