CosmoBox January 2019 Spoiler #4

I emailed them and they said I’m getting January and it would ship soon.

It’s just that they don’t seem to have found their niche yet: What is their focus? Who is their target age group? Which longer-existing subs are they trying to compete with? This box seems like an attempt to jump in on the sub box craze, but without doing the deep research that’s required now to succeed in this saturated market. They clearly haven’t recruited sub box veterans to run this show, or all these factors would have been clarified by now. Perhaps, like Allure, the items are whatever their advertisers are pushing at the moment, hence the lack of curation.

I like the idea of the body cream but not the other items, so this is not worth $37 to me. I’ll wait for the spoilers on the next box. It’s nice that with spoilers on MSA, we can pick and choose which box to receive.

Well said!

I agree with you on this. For $35 it is not bad, and I am genuinely and surprisingly excited about the Tea Forte cup.
Other Cosmo boxes have been appalling so I get why there is some hate about those boxes but this one, not so much.

Maybe, not so much the ‘sexy cosmo’ thing they tried before and everyone was confused and hated on that too. The poor box can’t win.. I think they just need to focus on some themes like one of their boxes was like a ‘best of cosmo’ skincare that seemed to gain supporters back. I think this box is more of a new year healthy type with the tea and rx bar- if they had focused on more health related items it would probably work well. I still want that body cream though! I’m happy so far. I just wish they shipped closer to mid-month like they used to.

RxBars are showing up in every non-vegan food subscription (and fitness subscription) I receive. They are also all over the checkout lines at Whole Foods, etc. What a strange thing to be a spoiler.

They usually ship VERY LATE in the month, like the last days of the month. I’m not concerned because I’m used to it. But you will get it… lol
