New Subscription Box Alert: CosmoBox by Cosmopolitan + Spoilers!

I’m so glad I seen this. I seen the name and thought oh great another box I can’t say no to. I get too many boxes already and one every other month that o will keep no matter what. No way am I paying 20$ for this box or anoth 6$ to ship a box of crap I get crap samples from time to time so I have plenty you would think cosmo could do better

I just opened my one and only box from Cosmo. I would of thought they would of added a magazine but nope. A card with info and a coupon for a deal on a subscription to the magazine. There are only the five items above. The Sponella smells amazing and the candle too, even though its 5oz. Pretty but small and the retail on it is $25 I guess. The eye mask is so cheap, I mean really really cheap. The headband is not my thing as well as the mug with says on it…Please God, make people stop with the words and says unless it’s a calendar or notebook. I swear I read that there could be coupons or something but I guess that would be to get the magazine. I do feel like I got a ok deal with the candle and Sponella but the other items were so lame honestly.I cancelled before I got the box. Gosh they really could of did something amazing, specially with the first box. I think they will have to lower the price or they will not get any customers.

Yes please review this box! I’m actually interested in it. I remember reading cosmo all the time when I was a teen. This was my fave magazine. I love spongelles and the candle is nice. Theven coffee mug eh, it’s OK. But the other two items, I don’t care for it at all. I still think this might be a fun box. I do wish the shipping was free and it only cost the $19.99 if that were the case I’d of already subbed.

Not a box that is tempting me or creating fomo. Too much money for too little. And you have to pay for shipping. Easy pass.

My emails to [email protected] keep returning as undeliverable. I’m not going to risk without steep discount for the first month.

Nope

This won’t last long. The only customers they’ll get are those who are Cosmo readers AND completely new to lifestyle sub boxes. They might get the tweens who can get their mothers to sign them up for this.

A $20 lifestyle box would be nice to try.. but.. not this one. It’s like they went down the checklist of most-swap-listed items: Mug, check. Headband, check. Candle, check. I can’t afford to spend a penny on a box that just duplicates other boxes. I just got the first Margot Elena box and was floored – stuffed full of luxe but practical and usable things – soaps and lotions and drawer liners and beautiful cards and lots more. I always find FFF and Popsugar to be very useful for the price. Which is partly why I don’t need a low-end version of the same. PS and FFF have perfected and cornered that niche, I think.

The headbands are the same ones that came in the birchbox Mask Matchmaker. Satva?

Liz, headbands are by Satva. I have a few from Birchbox. 🙂

I’m reading their “Terms” section and I’m confused about something they stated:

Am I missing something?

Omg I just ordered this box in seconds because of the name. I almost said no when I seen the shipping but then I thought WHAT IF I MISS OUT! I ordered it and then here and started reading and then went right back and cancelled. Yes I will get one box but then I seen that my next billing was 1/1/18 which is a little over a week away and my first box would ship until the 20th. I hate 😡👿 when companies do that cr#p.
I cancelled no problem though. Plus I’m nuts about candles. A $40 dollar value seems low right?

I don’t know why but I have this aversion to paying for shipping. If the box was $25 instead of $19 plus $6 shipping, I would be fine with it. Oh well, I definitely don’t need another box but I’ll keep my eye on it.

No way would I ever pay them $6 to ship me this box.

Thank you for the info! I’m always excited and interested to hear about new boxes.

I don’t get the appeal of something like this. Why would I spend $25.00 for a mug and a candle. If I actually wanted that crap, I could go to a store and get exactly what I wanted for less than that.

Are these boxes for people who are unable to ever go to a store because I just don’t understand why you would spend that money for a box like this.

I love the beauty boxes because there is no way I could discover and test the stuff that comes in them but a mug? a candle? My refitting closet is filled with that kind of garbage 🙂

“: We do not accept returns on the shipped box nor on individual items contained in the box. If a box is damaged or destroyed, customer service will review the subscribers claim following their submission to the shipping carrier for the damaged package.

The cost of shipping for the Member is not included when processing a return. Members will be responsible for the cost of shipping of each box which may fluctuate without warning. All items you receive through the Service will be shipped by a third-party carrier.”

Uhhhhh shipping may fluctuate without warning? Eeep.

I was excited when I saw it was from cosmo, but the items shown are not really what I would have expected. They are items you can get anywhere. I hope they step it up.

I have that same eye mask from Amazon.com.

The headbands I also have from Birchbox kits.

You can get a similar mug at home goods

Passing on this!

Seems like Cosmo is trying to piggyback off of the success Allure has had. Well Cosmo, you have already failed it seems…judging by the comments pretty much everyone is saying “nah, Imma pass” on this. I don’t want it either. Nothing about this screams awesome to me.

This just reminds me of FabFitFun box no offense. I’m not interested or excited for spoilers! I just got a mug in my FabFitFun box already and have spongelles , so this isn’t like omg I absolutely need this! Lol

I think we MSA readers are a tough crowd to impress. I don’t need any of this because I’ve been a longtime lifestyle box subscriber, but it looks like a nice selection at reasonable price.

plus 6.00 for shipping?? no.

Pass
