LenyBox Makeup Subscription Review – April 2018

Any update from the box?

If you think a product is counterfeit, and there’s a bar code on the box, scan it with your phone. I did this with a Clover palette I bought on Ebay and the scanner returned “Sweet Peach palette.” Of course, there were many other red flags on this product and packaging. So many things about it screamed “fake” but i wanted to see what the packaging came up.

The ulta lip gloss can still be purchased on several websites under super shiny or sheer shiny.

Cabella Star Oil can be purchased on essentialorganic.com for $34.48. It’s made in the USA. It can also be purchased in several more websites including Amazon

The NOVO 8 eyeshadow can be purchased at ALIEXPRESS. On sale for $2.81. It seems to be a Philipine Company. All their products can be found @ beautynml.com

The DE umbra 100ml is sold at Wal-Mart for $16.85. The expiration date is 7/2018 and it’s now sold out. It was sold and shipped by Central Outlets.

Who knew this box would cause so much uproar! 😉

I’m sorry, but there is no excuse as to why this was reviewed. There are tons of red flags, that are obvious to many of us. I’m not sure how a professional reviewing company supposedly could not see those red flags. Wow. Just wow.

Yeah I agree with everyone, this box is random, all over the place and I couldn’t imagine ULTA teaming up with them. I’m very grateful for your review though because now I can steer clear lol.

I subbed a few months ago and received a mermaid pallet from an indy company and after seeing a few youtube videos decided to call the company and they never sold any makeup to this sub and was told that the pallets were fake then reached out to MAC who had a lippie in the box and was told the same thing. Please do not review this box anymore they are thieves.

If you think it’s discontinued chances are high it’s also expired. There’s a few sites that will check that by batch number but if you can’t find the exact name, size, or branding at all then knock off is a good bet. There’s a ton of fake MAC, Chanel, and Benefit out there. Anything you don’t trust 100 percent should not go near your eye! Also look for misspelled words on branded products it’s a clear sign. Ebayers selling fakes claim they got them in bulk because of mistakes in printing but the brands will tell you it isn’t true.

The last box o received included a lip product from lime crime. I contacted line crime to ask if they were collaborating with Leny box. They requested several photos of the product after telling me NO they did NOT partner with them.
The next day the emailed me and told me this product was a fake and NOT a product from their company. I cancelled my subscription.
I’m worried what ingredients are in these products. There could be lead arsenic who knows. No thank you

For safety sake I wpuld contact Drunk Elephant about that sunscreen before using it.
I watched several ppl on YouTube unbox this sub when it first came put and many had issues with the products – either being expired, missing packaging like they’d been opened before, not being able to find them online anywhere, calling the company that supposedly made the item to find it was long ago discontinued or hadn’t been made in a long time, finding out that Lenny hadn’t had permission to use the product in their box, the list went on and on. Then there were the billing and shipping issues. I wouldn’t get this box. If my only possible source of makeup was this or the dollar store I would choose the dollar store.

I totally don’t get the fact that MSA is NOT doing an honest review on this shady company. Really??? You should be very knowledgeable by now to what products and companies are legitimate. These products are dangerous and innocent people will be influenced by your reviews.

Thank you for the review. Im not too picky with my beauty subscriptions, I like variety and being surprised, I looked at their past boxes and they favor a brand called “Lior Gold” They see to give away a lot of palettes and brushes as well. I’ll mull it over.

I saw some post in insta that this leny box sends fake or class A items. And the brand clarifies that they dont collab with leny box. Enlighten me

With so many of the products being discontinued and then not being able to find the exact size of the sunscreen would make me worried that it’s possibly a knock off. Why would Drunk Elephant collaborate with this box when it hasn’t even collaborated a full size product with a more well known, reputable sub box company (FFF, Popsugar)

I feel like this box is just filled with discontinued products and ones close to expiration that the company got for a discount. I would avoid this box.

This is a box I’d steer away from hard.
First of all, Gayle Hayman was mostly a HSN brand before she and Fred divorced.. They were behind the Georgio Beverly Hills perfume craze of the 80’s.

Secondly, sending out a sunscreen, ANY brand of sunscreen but especially one which has a premium price, but is about to expire, is dangerous. People will use it past July because it IS a premium brand.
This is a product of which type definitely should be THROWN OUT on the expiration date.

This box is weird. Random possibly discontinued products….AND THEN SUDDENLY COMES THE DRUNK ELEPHANT! Lol.
