Customer service is laughable. I purchased a yearly subscription (now regretfully) and I wanted to make sure I won’t be ambushed by resubscription year from now. I have looked up their cancellation policy which says I could unsubscribe anytime. So.. I sent a polite email to the testtube cs and I am being told to unsubscribe closer to my last tube. Meaning they want to bill me +$200 next year hoping I forget to unsubscribe on time. What a shady practice! Realizing their business model I regret purchasing a yearly subscription. I would not recommend this ‘box’.
You’re saying you subscribed annually and that you don’t want to charged a year from now… so basically you just signed up, but you want to pre-cancel a year in advance?? That sounds ludicrous to me.. I haven’t EVER heard of a box that allows you to pre cancel a year in advance.. the standard practice of these boxes is that you purchase a subscription which will renew at the end of your commitment. YOU agreed to those terms when you signed up… it’s YOUR responsibility to make sure you cancel within an appropriate time frame. If you are forgetful it’s not New Beauty’s fault.
*to anyone considering this subscription, I highly recommend. CS is very nice and even allows you to skip a box without cancelling once or twice a year if you pay bi-monthly.
I have prepaid a yearly subscription and I dont want to be billed for yet another year. Hence, I have requested to cancel the renewal after my yearly subscription ends. Customer service needs to be retrained. Also, there is something predatory about the business model where the customer needs to wait a year to cancel the subscription (while the website says cancel any time). Will not recommend this box to anybody.
Definitely agree with you, some might let you cancel early, but you’d lose your boxes so best to wait anyway. Not shady in the least. Just cancel after you receive the last box in your subscription, common practice of any subscription service.
Initially I wanted to skip, because I’m financially strapped, but they already billed me. Now, I can’t wait! Looking forward to trying the peeling pads and stem cell therapy. Not much use for the lids, interesting concept though.
I skipped the May box but decided I wanted the July box. Was charged earlier in the month and was surprised when it was in my mail this morning. However, when I opened it, it was mays box. I quickly called customer service. They checked and turns out they accidentally sent the May box but that July box would still be coming. So I essentially got the May box for free. Guess I can’t complain!
I had terrible problems trying to log in to my account and ended up cancelling too late and getting charged $42 and change (with tax). Customer service had assured me they would take care of the issue and call me back but they never did. I like the sizes of the product and have tried lots of new ones with NBTT, but the July box doesn’t do a thing for me so I guess I won’t be rejoining for a while.
This is always such an insanely great deal. What I can’t use always finds a home and we all win. I’ll be using four of these and will give the rest away.
Am I able to purchase just a single box? I am not interested in any subscription, but I actually use Neulash and it’s very expensive (I bought a two-pack from Nordstrom for about $150 a couple years ago).
Never see them offering one-time single box, but you can subscribe then cancel.
Their billing’s usually 15th in the previous month.
So if you only want this July box & don’t want September box, you should be able to cancel it before August 15th by e-mail or phone call.
They may change their policy now though, so to be safe better asked CS. I got fast response doing it by phone or chat in their website.
This is helpful. Thank you, @callmeinge. I’m debating if I should try to swap for Neulash (and the eyelid tape) or if I should risk the subscription. Decluttering me says try to swap, the dollars-and-cents me says it makes more sense to buy.
@Shanna: If you want to swap the Neulash, I’m very interested! (But I’m very sorry you missed the cut-off date. That’s annoying.)
One thing that helped speed up my eyebrow growth was using a microneedler. Spots that wouldn’t grow in before, grew in superfast with this tool. I used it with serums but the serums on their own weren’t as fast.
It does help
Eyebrows it helps mine I put it on every night after I cleanse my face and moisturize but you need to take like micellar water and wipe your eyebrows clean after you moisturize your face then apply the growth serum to eyebrows 🙂 I’ve seen a difference in mine – hope that helps
Oooh, that’s a good tip about cleaning the eyebrows before putting on the serum. I don’t think I get moisturizer on my brows (maybe just face mist), but I use brow serums when I get them in boxes, and I never see a difference. Moisturizer on my brows is probably why!
I’ve been using ReVitabrow for several years and do not need to touch up my eyebrows anymore. It really works. I have my mothers thin eye lashes and very thin almost non existent eyebrows. I now have long lashes and think eyebrows. I use the same formula for my eyebrows and eye lashes.
I’ve learned by now, by the time it gets to me I’ll find enough value in it. They offered me the “you tried to cancel here’s a full size SR Martian toner” again this month, so along with that the Sanitas pads, the tweezers and the sunscreen I’m happy with my purchase
I wish they would’ve offered me a free toner in order for me to keep my subscription lol I tried to skip but because I had skipped once this yr, I had to cancel instead cancel said
Hi Cb, i just read your comment about having skipping once so the next time you had to cancel. I skipped this box. Does that meaning if i want to skip another I’ll need to cancel? That’s a drag!
I’m happy to try a new mineral sunscreen but Sunintegrity is amazing . I do have to add drops of concealer since it’s tinted but the wear …. wow. Maybe this one will replace it since it seems way more wallet friendly. Lol I am thrilled for great tweezers and peel pads.
The Beauty Report is a part of the New Beauty Test Tube brand, It’s a single-purchase box that comes out every few months. MSA reviewed the Spring one a few months ago. It’s usually $39.95 but sometimes subscribers get a $5 off code to use (although I think this worked for people that don’t subscribe too). The value in the Spring box was $370+ and it contains mostly full size items
There should be since they advertised it in their magazine. Although, they didn’t provide a launch date, but it has historically been released in July. 🙂
The kid’s invisibobles work well for my fine, thin hair, but I still find they leave a kink in my hair, so I can take ’em or leave ’em.
I have two boxes of those eyelid shapers and cannot for the life of me figure them out, nor how one would use them with eye makeup. This one is a miss for me.
If you need help with the eyelid things application Michelle Phan has a video about using them on YouTube. They’re really good for hooded eyes and monolid eyes. You can sort of retrain your eyelid crease using them regularly for 3 months or so.
I’m glad to see there’s a bonus clip with the invisibobbles, because the person I gave the clip to that I just received in another box (I can’t remember from which box… and I just got it over the weekend… that’s so bad. lol) was just saying to me that it would have been nice to have received two instead of just one. Now she’ll have two!
I’m probably the only one not interested in this tube. I skipped it.
On a side note, I have tons of baby fine hair and love the invisibobbles. But I use the slim ones. The regular ones are too heavy for my hair. And I ordered the wavers to try. $5 for set of 3.
You’re definitely not alone. The only product that interested me is the Neulash and, while it would certainly be worth the cost of the box, I can’t justify adding that many other products to my already large trade stash.
The same, I think of it as part of the price of the box, then it doesn’t seem so bad to me. Trying to talk myself into annual to further cut the “shipping” cost 🙂
I cannot wait for this box…everything looks fabulous and very usable! I will pass along the invisibobbles to someone else as I have no use for them and have received them in every box I’ve gotten lately. But otherwise very happy with the other 7 items….
I forgot to cancel this subscription .. but I will definitively use the peel pads. Tweezers are always great. I know someone who will be thrilled with collagen serum but who knows.. may try myself.. lol
