We have new details on the Beauty Choice Awards Limited Edition Box:

  • The box does NOT contain Dermaflash, but there's a coupon inside for $40 off when you purchase a device
  • The box contains 5 full-size products valued at over $230 plus an additional 11 deluxe and travel size samples for a total value of $400 plus 3 great offers (not included in total value)

That makes for 16 items total, and there are 16 items in the picture above, so while I can't say with 100% certainty, my guess is we'll be getting exactly what is pictured.

Here are the details:

The Box: Beauty Choice Awards Limited Edition Box

The Cost: $59.95

The Products: Contains 16 products and two amazing offers…valued at more than $400

Can you make out the other 4 items in the pic?

Are you grabbing a box?

Here's our review of last year's box so you can get a better sense of how many items to expect and the type of sample sizes they send!

There was supposed to be a NewBeauty Beauty Report Sampling Box, with the cost of $29 with free shipping, released yesterday.. But it was never released… Does anyone know what happened and if it is going to be released at all?

I just thought I’d throw it out there because I know a few people bought multiples & were doubly disappointed.

I bought 4 of these boxes and I am not disappointed. I might buy some more to stash for holiday gifting.
I love the Grandelash and revitabrow. Lumene has worked really well so far. Colorscience is a gift from the heavens, thankfully, the medium shade works perfectly for me. LaRoche Posay micellar water is always useful, the size is perfect for travel. Did not like that eminence rhubarb exfoliant at all .I’m not a fan of tan towels but my friend swears by them, she’s happy to take those. All the hair stuff is useful. A few items I may donate but all in all, I definitely think it’s a good purchase.

I think you can still purchase it….

Neither of my 2 boxes had the SkinMedica product and one of my boxes was missing the Obagi sunscreen that’s listed on the insert in the box. Did anyone else receive theirs like this?

Reply ButtonReply

Melissa W.

Skin medica is not supposed to be in the box. Never was… It was never in the picture. I think that Liz had it down as it being in the box by mistake. But yes.. you should have the Obagi sunscreen. What was the weight of your box? All boxes were weighted before being sent out.

Reply ButtonReply

Rochelle

Melissa,
Thank you for the info on the skinmedica.
One of my boxes was 3.3 lbs & one was 3.2 lbs. The 3.3 must be the box that did have the sunscreen and the 3.2 was the one missing it apparently.

I think I also received a different It’s A 10 product in both boxes than is supposed to be included.

I guess I’m going to have to email them.

Does anyone know what the return policy is for this box??

to return it for a refund it has to be unopened according to a rep I spoke to .

MzBev

After waiting nearly 2 weeks, I got a response from them. They do say you can return the UNOPENED box for a refund. Of course, it sounds like you’d have to pay for the return shipping. (Since it wasn’t stated otherwise)

We apologize for the delay and inconvenience. Your order has been processed and shipped. An email confirmation with tracking information will be sent once available. You may return the unopened box, once received a refund will be honored.

Melissa W.

I believe that you wouldn’t have to pay for return shipping if you are there when the mailman came and told him then that you don’t want it and to send it back to the sender, that way, it will get back to NewBeauty for free.

Sarah

No shipping info, no where to check online, no box. Have to double check if I have even been charge. Glad to see I am not the only one. This will be my first and last purchase from this company. Lesson learned…and now seeing what we are actually getting…I really hope they lost my order.

KM

Call and demand a cancellation and EXPRESS why so that they will get it. That is what I did last Spring and I also followed up with headquarters too. I CANNOT believe that they did it to the consumers again with shady marketing. Sure isn’t how you get more customers.
It is really a shame because there first awards box was great.

ANYONE that wants their money back I would highly suggest calling and speaking to management as it worked for me. $60 is ALOT of money.

Reply ButtonReply

Dayan

Got my box today… So so so bad… IMO
Can’t believe I waste $60 on this…
2 highest value products that made up the supposed $400 value are both for brow growing, 3rd highest is self tan towelettes………
FYI, no skinmedica.
So regret I didn’t cancel… Was hoping it’s at least a mediocre curation… So wrong…
Full size are pretty much all duds for me. It’s kind of sad that the things I’m happy to see are all sample sizes with low value…

Reply ButtonReply

Carmen

Did you get different products as the ones in the picture Liz posted?

Reply ButtonReply

Dayan

I think it’s pretty much the same with the exception of the it’s a 10.
Jsyk, the square pkg thing that’s in front of the living proof is just a single pad of pinrose’s parfum presoaked pad…
I didn’t even count it as a sample when I first counted the items and was actually thinking I’m missing one product…

I got my FedEx shipping notice. Fingers crossed that we’re all in for a great big nice surpise like last time!

They told me last week that my box had already shipped, but I still haven’t gotten a shipping notification, and my card still hasn’t even been charged. What the heck is wrong with this company? If they aren’t going to start shipping for two weeks, why did they advertise as “on or around the 12th”?

I ordered pretty early the first day offered. I got my Fed Ex tracking email today, says shipped 7/24…will arrive to my house by end of day 7/27. 3.3 lbs

Got my shipping info today, as well. I’m in southern California and it says it will arrive next Wednesday, 8/2, shipping from the east coast. I’m looking forward to this box, plenty of great items to try that I’d never get to try any other way.

I got charged a week ago, but as of 7/24 no shipping notification.

I called this morning to check and the customer service rep was angry from the second she answered the phone. She told me everything was shipped Friday and should arrive in 7-10 days. But that’s not true. my FedEx account shows they created labels on Friday, but the packages have yet to arrive at the FedEx facility. Creating labels and shipping are not the same thing. The boxes are obviously still in New Beauty’s possession. I just don’t get it…

Reply ButtonReply

Yvette

That isn’t cool that she got angry at you. This is a one-time purchase and not a monthly subscription.

Online vendors always ship stuff out to me within a few days now of placing the order. They should have had the packages put together prior to selling especially if they were going to state on the order page when we placed our orders that they were shipping out that day.

Reply ButtonReply

Keshia

Exactly!!! These boxes shou ld have been assembled well in advance with them knowing all the items to use as spoilers. I’m definitely going to think long and hard before another purchase is made from this company.

Ashby

Finally, it shows that my box arrived at FedEx. It’s 3.2 lbs. and they’re estimating that it should be at my door by the 31st. I’m just pleased it’s finally on its way.

I got an email after midnight with a tracking number. Weighs 10lbs so all 3 must be inside one box. I feel bad cause my coworker wanted to give as a gift. Mine doesn’t state delivery date yet but I guess by next Monday. I think last time they came on time or 1-2 days early. Still hoping for the Skin Medica and wondering what the third offer is? I hope I can use the GE Care Credit offer cause I’ve had that card for about 8 years now. Maybe calling their CS gets things moving. Who knows. I think with this company you have to buy and assume you won’t hear or get anything for 3-4 weeks.

Heather

I don’t understand what is going on with these people. I reached out to them on Friday morning (7/21) to ask what was going on, since it had been 9 days since they were supposed to start shipping and it was radio silence from them. They said: “Your order has been processed and shipped. An email confirmation will be sent with tracking information once available. ” But my card still hasn’t been charged, and I haven’t received any kind of shipping notification. Is this some kind of fly by night con? I don’t understand how a company who does stuff like this could stay in business. I wish I had never heard of this company. I only ordered this for the Dermaflash, and now it looks like it was false advertising since they deleted the Instagram post and all mention of it from their social media…

My card was charged last Wednesday the 19th. I have NOT received a shipping notification.

😐 I feel like this box is going to randomly show up at my porch, on a day I’ve completely forgotten about even buying it.
I hope I’d be able to get some good swaps out of it at least.

Unfortunately, I’m extremely disappointed from my first purchase with NewBeauty.

Newbeauty would have done a much better job by offering the exact same box as last year. 😔

I ordered on 7/12 at around 9:45 am EST and got charged on 7/18. I’ve received no tracking as of yet. I’ve been patient but I finally just called and the inconsistencies from CS are ridiculous. I ordered 3 boxes. 2 for myself and one for a co-worker. So after being charged $180 a week ago I think I should see some shipping activity. The first rep said I was charged but saw no shipping and had no way of finding out. That’s insane. I asked for a supervisor who seemed to want to stress I ordered on the 12th but wasn’t charged til the 18th. No ones disputing that. It’s been a week since you charged me $180. I said I want to know if my boxes shipped and I want the tracking info. She said she’d call in 24 hours. Time will tell. Then she said mine and everyone’s boxes shipped last Friday. Ok then. Isn’t that s yes they’ve shipped and all I need is the tracking? I went through so much nonsense with The Beauty Report Box but it turned out okay. They need to get it together though really. I really hope there’s no expired or missing items.

After 2 emails to them, over a week apart, I finally got a response. She said my order has shipped and I should be getting tracking info soon. Uh, I don’t believe that. These companies print the shipping labels and usually you get that email before the item is even picked up. IF, in fact, my order was shipped, she would have given me the tracking as much as I’ve stated my displeasure with their bait & switch tactic used for this box and how long its taking to ship when the sign up page made it sound like they will ship quickly.

I’ll NEVER ever order from this company again. Their sub is out of the question; not even will I consider it anymore. Lack of CS. It’s basically non-existent.

Jacki

What a marketing disaster! This box would be pretty great except for the deceptive spoiler photos, overstated retail value by including offers as if they were products, misstated shipping date and lack of communication. This is sure to leave many customers feeling they underdelivered on expectations. I believe what they are actually selling would have been well received if expectations were accurately set.

Reply ButtonReply

Sarah

I just called them and was told that orders are still coming in so shipping has been pushed back. I asked her when to expect it or some kind of update on it and she told me to call back in 2 weeks if I don’t have it. Wtf?? I won’t be doing this again! I was considering signing up for their monthly subscription, Test Tube Beauty, but no way am I dealing with this company every month. I was really excited about this but now I’m just disappointed and have lost interest.

Maria Peterson

I sent them an email and they sent me an email back saying my box was shipped today and not on the eighteenth. They would not tell me what was in the box when I requested verification of what I was told about the inconsistencies in shipment information and what items were in the box

KM

They are VERY lame…they use very shady practices. I believe the reason they are holding out on shipping any until they sell out or whatever is because they know once the contents of the box are revealed they wouldn’t sell any more.

I had high hopes they would try to make there customers happy, but this appears to be the only explanation for the delay

Anyone get a shipping notification yet???

Reply ButtonReply

Maria

I didn’t. When I called to question them about the box they told me it had already shipped so it was to late to cancel. Today I called because I still haven’t received tracking information and she said the vendors were putting the boxes together. When I told her the other person I talked with said it had shipped she said she had to look at my account closer. Them she said yes it has shipped and she was going to talk the vendors to get me a tracking number with fed ex. Not sure they know what they are telling people. I was think of subscribing for this box now I’m pretty sure I’m not going to.

Can you tell me what # to call? I haven’t heard anything from emails so I want to try calling but I can’t find a phone number to call.

Nope. I see the transaction is pending this morning though. I guess they’re just slow. What a deceitful company, first they post the Dermaflash on IG – making it look like it will be included; it’s not.
Then when the order page was up, it showed they were to begin shipping the same day! Although, I didn’t think it would actually ship that quickly – but figured it would be pretty quick. Then nope!

I won’t be buying anything from them again.

So, is their logic really to make everyone wait until the boxes sell out before charging and shipping anything?

I think they should at least put forth the effort of communicating this with us when it comes to billing and shipping.

I emailed earlier this week to ask when they would ship and this is what I heard back.

No, none of us have. But I think it has been firmly established that this company does not have a close relationship with the truth.

What ticks me off is there isn’t even a way for anyone to check the order status. There is no link in the e-mail, just a confirmation number, which is useless. I don’t understand how companies like this stay in business.

Melissa

Nope.. no one was charged yet, nor were any boxes shipped out yet..

KM

In the past they don’t charge until they ship….and they in the past haven’t began shipping until they sell out or they decide to end it.

They didn’t come close to being as good as last awards box and then went and increased the price so I will be surprised if it does sell out. Many like me have canceled due to their shady marketing gimmicks and over all lack of.

Tina

Thanks. I see the box is still available and I’m debating if I want to get it. I want to try the strawberry exfoliant, Chi, and Lumene.

Keshia

So…Idk, how I feel about this box anymore. Unfortunately, I didn’t know about this box last year and wish I had. After discovering this box and doing my research I became extremely excited about what NewBeauty had to offer for this year’s box. I became so excited that I stalked the purchase site until it changed to allow me to make the purchase. I made the purchase before any of the items or pictures were posted.

Reply ButtonReply

Keshia

However, for a company like NewBeauty, where this box is considered their “Super Bowl it creates quite a bit of precautions when I think about doing business with them in the future. Not to mention the obvious concern for many here when it comes to posting pictures with the 2017 box and items that the company has no intention of sending. Since, I already have a care credit card that also has no value to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I haven’t canceled my box because there are four items that I am absolutely in love with. But, if that wasn’t the case NewBeauty would have lost me as a customer.
I considered canceling 3 times and called customer service a total of twice. This should not happen. When MSA originally posted that Sephora had a new favorites box (Skin Super Foods) I purchased my box in less than 24hrs and t hats the way it’s supposed to be. I saw the items and fell in love with everything. That’s the excitement that should happen when NewBeauty creates a new box. We as the consumer should be excited, happy and eager to receive a box especially when it comes to being the best of the best in beauty products.

So, so sorry about the multiple posts.

……I really, really hope NewBeauty takes note and listens to everyone’s concerns and strives to provide an excellent box next year. There are far too many unsatisfied people in these posts. I know I’ll definitely be more careful next year and I’ll actually be waiting till all the items are known before considering to make my purchase next year.

This was just my two sense in the situation. I’m actually done with beauty purchases for a while as the Sephora sale in Nov and Ipsy’s Generation Beauty in Sep are right around the corner for me. If anyone is interested in additional or single items from this box, I’ll definitely be listing mine here as well as the $40 dermaflash credit as I won’t be purchasing it.
I hope everyone is somewhat satisfied with their purchase or cancellations when it comes to this box and future boxes.

After, the picture was posted and some spoilers were know I became slightly disappointed. After more items were know I became annoyed by the fact that more than one item had absolutely no value to me. (Unfortunately the tan towels can’t help me and the powdered sunscreen isn’t even made in my shade)
This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I currently have 3 beauty subscriptions alone, but make plenty of purchases as a Sephora rogue member. I find it disappointing when a company includes items in a box that are of no use to everyone who purchases it. Granted, not every one is going to absolutely love every item in every box they receive.
