Beauty Choice Awards Limited Edition 2017 Box – Spoiler Updates!

Hey Liz.. not sure where my first post went, but just wanted to let you know that New Beauty is releasing a Beauty Report sampling box on November 24th, for $29 plus free shipping.

So I ordered right away. Heard nothing for two weeks. Sent an email. Got a reply three days later that my box was shipped. Nothing on my CC bill. I emailed a few days ago asking where the box was…they emailed me back today saying my CC was declined on July 17th!! First of all, my CC has never been declined and I didn’t get any notification that it was and they even emailed me and said they sent the box! Horrible customer service. I am glad the CC was declined so I wasn’t charged for this horrible box. Surprisingly, *sarcasm* all my other subs have no problem billing me and mailing boxes out on time. Will never order from this company again.

I’d be interested in reading an MSA review for this box, especially since it seems like Liz got info from New Beauty about retail value that was incorrect – the values aren’t adding up to $400 without the special offers. Between that and New Beauty’s (now-deleted) Instagram post about items that it claimed to be in the box but weren’t, a wrap-up would be useful to anyone thinking about getting this box in the future. I’m actually a fan of a lot of the items in the box, but all the marketing and shipping issues have left a bad taste in my mouth.

Their customer service is the worst. They never got back to me, I asked to cancel, they got back to me about a week later and said it was too late and just ship it back. I asked for tracking number, they never responded. I just received it today in the mail, and curiosity killed the cat, I opened it. I received everything, and I’m only keeping a quarter of the box, another quarter is just paper, then trying to make you buy and coupons, and the other half is crap that I’ll try and sell/trade for stuff I will use.

If anyone is interested in selling an extra new box… I’m open.

Has anyone else gotten their box yet?

I’m still waiting….

I loved this box so much, that I just ordered a second one! The Grande duo is amazing and alone, is worth the cost. All the other stuff are just extras, and I’ll use everything except for the 2 volumizing sprays.

I’m not a fan of this box, but what I am a fan of is the swaps I’ve gotten from this box! I was able to swap things I have no use for and in return receive things I really really wanted. I thought for sure no one would want most of this stuff but I’ve gotten rid of everything I didn’t want. Plus I was able to swap for extra lumene and it’s a 10 from people who didn’t want that, so I’m pretty happy it worked out in the end. But… I’m still not going to trust this company in the future!

So I was one of those that was ready to jump as soon as they went on sale. The spoilers released beforehand looked great. Then I got the email and said no way. Out of curiousity I just checked and this box is still available. Three weeks later. I hope they take this as a lesson learned, especially after using “last year’s box sold out in 48 hours” as a promotional statement. I’d be willing to bet that next year this box will be amazing. Here’s to hoping!

My box is stuck somewhere between FedEx and USPS since July 27th. No one claims responsibility. For Pete’s sake….the box started out about an hour from my town on July 24th.

Ridiculous!

Last year’s box was so fantastic that I was all hyped for this one. What a major fail!

I just canceled my TestTube sub. I figure if they are experiencing problems & can’t fill boxes properly, they don’t deserve my money.

They need to earn me back as a subscriber.

I know that folks seem pretty upset (and I totally get it) but for me getting the Grande Eye Opener Duo was worth the entire thing. I have paid $60 for the regular Grande lash (and trust me *this* stuff works). So, (for me) that made getting the box worth it. I have only looked at the other products and it seems to be worthy. So, I didn’t feel duped at all.
With that said, I don’t want coupons or credit card offers etc.

💡 I think it’s safe to say that WE have ALL learned our lesson when it comes to NewBeauty and the Beauty Choice Awards box.
Personally, I was overly excited about this box as I was expecting something on par with the 2016 box. This year wasn’t a complete waste as I am getting a chance to try a number of products that I normally wouldn’t have gotten the chance to try. But, SMH there were more than the acceptable amount of disappointments from this box and this company.

I will not be making the same mistake twice. I fully plan on waiting till I know what more than half of the items will be, the total value and the cost of the box before I ever purchase another Beauty Choice Awards box. I defiantly will not be subscribing to any of there subscriptions.

I really hope everyone finds some value in there purchase/interactions with this company.

I got my box yesterday and I ordered the second day of the sale. My box wasn’t missing any items like some others have said. I wouldn’t be too upset about missing the pinrose because it’s just a one use pad. I’m satisfied with the products considering I bought it as a “discovery” box. I will try almost everything but I’m not sure I’ll purchase this company’s box again at this price. The Care credit “bonus” is ridiculous!! Anyone can apply for this credit card. If you want to purchase the dermaflash, Nordstrom has it on sale now. They have several other beauty devices on sale too that I’m trying desperately not to purchase.

I got my box today. First, I ordered, canceled, then ordered again. I was exciting for it, but , when I got it two full items (sunscreen brush and towels) I cannot use because they are too dark for me. I can care less about offers (if anyone needs it contact me, I will give you for free). One item, some rose petal perfume, it is small foil packet, they should not counted as an item. I will try other remaining 13 items, but they are mostly sample or delux samples. The vitamins, they give you huge bottle, but it is only filled 1/4 of it, what a waste of container. Anyway, I am glad that I bought it, but would I get it next year – NO.

I am so disappointed. It feels like 95% of the items are “deluxe” or sample sized. I can’t help but feel a little ripped off. I don’t want to be negative but I just can’t believe that some of the items included were added to the overall value of the box. A coupon?! Really? $2.50 estimated value for a one time perfume search? Come on guys. I hope the folks at Newbeauty take the time to read these reviews, learn from them and perhaps address everyone’s concerns. TestTube is a great subscription overall and I don’t want to see their entire brand damaged by this particular failure.

My 3 boxes arrived Thursday but I couldn’t get to my po box until today. I checked all 3 as one is for a co-worker. I’m only missing one coupon for $2 off Neocell. The GE Care Credit offer comes in a clear zippered cosmetics pouch and there is a code for 20% off Revitalash products from their website. Hey, every little bit helps. I also got the other Its a 10 product. At least everything arrived in good condition and nothing expired. I know, as it should. I will try to make the best of it by the value in the Revitalash and Grande products which I’ve wanted to try. I never should’ve gotten 2 boxes though. It’s strange how the Beauty Report Box was only $30 and was so much better. Those I’d buy 2 of. I probably would buy one of these again but I’d go in knowing not to expect anything as far as billing or shipment for 3 weeks. Definitely don’t expect anything like a Dermaflash unless it states something like first 500 boxes etc. I kind of felt that from the Beauty Report experience. I think they’re CS is all over the place but it seems New Beauty corrects any errors such as replacing the expired Trufora sunscreen with a really nice vbeaute product. Also if you already have the Care Credit card I think the free magazine subscription is for a new account only so enjoy the free bag! Read For The Cure has a one year sx for $10 anyway😉

Got mine yesterday and opened today now I’m reading these comments and realizing just how screwed I am with this box! I’m sooooo disappointed boooooooo new beauty!

FYI to my fellow gluten intolerants – those Neocell supplements contain wheat.

So I hadn’t opened my box yet in case I wanted to return. My box states it weighs 3.34 pounds. I also noticed it states on my shipping label that items may be shipped separately. I have been reviewing over and over to see if I want to return. I think i probably will keep and give it a lesson learned

I was wondering if anyone had actually received their much ballyhooed box yet.

So, not only is the box “meh,” but they’re also screwing up the contents of what?!?!??

Stay classy, NB 🤐

Well, I bought two boxes within the first hour it became available because I did not want to miss out again this year. I still do not have my boxes but I’m really hoping I’m not disappointed after reading these comments.

Evening Beauties!!

Well, I’ve just got my package in the mail. I know a few were wondering about pictures and sizes…and we can’t really post pics here so the only thing I could come up with is my Instagram. My page is public so just send me a dm and ill share my pics. Lol, you dont have to follow me……just find me by name and I’ll share.

P.S. my pinrose was also missing so I’ll be contacting customer service about that.

I’m looking forward for the review MSA does on this box. I hope it’s extremely honest about the ENTIRE experience from payment to arrival to product experience.

I’ve had a shipping number since last Friday, but usps still says it hasn’t been dropped off at the facility yet. The head office is a 5 minutes from my house, maybe I’ll just walk over there and pick it up?? That’s exactly where I’ll be walking to return it, because I’m not paying return shipping on this mess.

I received my box today and it was missing the Obagi, Pinrose, and Dermaflash Offer. I was also disappointed to receive the It’s a 10 Instant Repair instead of the Styling Potion that advertised. Sent them an email 🙁
