The Harvey Prince fragrance was just a vial, like you’d receive as a sample, just for the record. It’s typical for this box. I would include a picture if I could. I’m surprised anyone claims this box is worth $100, to me it’s not worth even $10. I have to think the other people commenting work for H2BAR.
I love the whole redhead thing but this box has got to step it up.

I’ve been subbed to this box since the beginning. The technical value of the boxes may be good (I disagree), and I really enjoy being a part of the whole redhead thing since obviously I must be a redhead to belong to this box… but the boxes are really hit or miss. Sorry to say, mostly miss. Many times the items in the boxes are about to expire or right at expiration. The items are weird stuff I’d never use. I got one really great box once, but a mostly it’s not good stuff. The good box was full of Paul Mitchell products. I’m always thrilled when they put in a strawberry or auburn eyebrow pencil or powder. It’s not a good value for me, if I don’t use what’s in the box. It’s generally not actually well cultivated redhead products. I feel like they oddball small companies that I’ve never heard of that need to clean out old stuff. I know they could do better. That’s my take.

If I knew that the Harvey Prince perfume was full-sized I would take the risk, but this subscription gets really bad customer service feedback and I really hesitate to start a subscription with a company I might have a hard time cancelling with. If anyone knows if the perfume will be full-sized, I would love to hear from you!

This has got to be the best box you can get.
A lot of full size or deluxe.
For the money you get over $100 worth of stuff.

This has consistently been a great box for me, and the value always exceeds the cost. I’m not sure where you heard that there were customer service issues, but I’ve never had a problem. I needed to cancel for a few months because I was tight on money, but it was as simple as signing on to their website. And when I was ready to start back up, no issues. So I wouldn’t hesitate to sign up if the box looks good to you.
