Does anyone know how this would effect you if you’re already a subscriber? As in, do you have to cancel and then reapply?

Just to clear up, I signed up in the beginning, so I am getting the monthly charge, but thinking about getting the 6 month subscription.

I’m tempted to try this box although I am not the target audience. The items look great and I think I could use most of the items. I do have curly hair so many of the hair items would work.

Girl try it. I would say that the vast majority of items I’ve received can be universally used. They’ve sent a good crop of products so far.

Thanks so much for posting. I missed the black Friday sale on this box, so I’m very happy to take advantage of this deal. 🙂

I could only find a review for October…anyone know what items were in other boxes? I have curly hair but have a light complexion…just wondering if this might have some hair and skincare winners for me as I’m pretty sure the makeup will mostly be a miss for me.

They have an in the box page on the website – at the bottom you can click to the previous month. (I was just looking for the same reason and thought I’d share since I found it!)
