My Ultimate box is greatly improved over last month and I think a more than fair value for $50. My expectations are pretty reasonable (I THINK LOL) as I don’t expect my “real” value to be the stated value since obviously I am not going to love or need every single item – that’s the nature of a subscription box.
I received the following and feel that their stated “promotion” was received in terms of 8 full size/4 sample sizes. I also feel that the level of the brands was more of less what one would find acceptable in a mid-grade subscription box. This isn’t Sisley or Net A Porter or Barneys 🙂 – it’s a nice respectable Honda.
I just wish they would stop with the collaborations as the are collectible only if for some reason you are into the “name” being licensed. I don’t have any attachment to Tetris and the product wasn’t good. I actually think Boop has a certain retro charm but the actual stuff was terrible. I have never heard of Gigi and have no reason to have any interest in her especially since she looks like a Barbie doll and therefore I don’t share her beauty aesthetic.
I think my reasonable expectations were more than met in terms of both the configuration of products and the brands. While I don’t use bronzers and not much highlighter, I can’t expect that broad swath of category to be eliminated completely. I also have gotten some amazing highlighters so I’m fine with getting highlighter overload and then just using the few that are amazing.
Benefit High Beam Liquid Highlighter – this is $18 size for 6 mili size
Beau Gâchis Concealer Brush – $11.95
Youth To The People Superfood Air Whip – $6 worth based on size and retail price
Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Booster Serum – $80
Smith & Cult Nail Lacquer in Bite Your Kiss – $18
Gigi Gorgeous The Only Bush Duo in Authentic+ Pride – no comparable retail value so assume it’s the same price as Maybelline or other low level drugstore brand
Wander Beauty Wanderess Rush Eyeshadow Palette – $25
It Confidence In A Cleanser – 5 ounces – $28 – full size
Kismet Sugar Lip Scrub in Bright & Bubbly – $12 – 1 ounce – 29.5 mili – is 1/2 ounce so worth $6

Soo Ae Panda Eye Brightening Mask – $2.00 each – 2 so worth $4.00
