Ricky’s NYC Cult Crushes Beauty Box – May 2018 FULL SPOILERS

Hey Liz!

Thank god! I’ve searched online to check after getting my Ricky’s cult box home delivery. I would no be happy to get spoiler before getting that box. everything is okay and I’m excited.

If you watch YouTube May unboxings every single one is a new subscriber. So they are neglecting their long time YouTubers too. Bad move.

People are complaining that soap shouldn’t be in a beauty box. That may be true, but according to their website, this is a BEAUTY & LIFESTYLE BOX.

I’ve been subscribed for 7 months, I love that they send unusual things in this box. I truly have way too much of the usual suspects. I will use everything in this box.

So, not only am I getting a highly disappointing box, but I just got this email:

Hey Cult Crushers, 

First off – we are so sorry for the delay in your delivery! 

Here’s the deal! There was an unexpected delay in one shipment but the good news is that the shipment is expected to arrive today. As soon as it gets in, we’re packing the final item into your boxes and shipping it out to you as fast as we can. 

Again, we apologize for this delay. We’re a small team here at Cult Crushes but we’re working hard to get everything to you as fast as we possibly can in the wake of this unfortunate shipping issue. 

We promise to do better by you guys in the coming months. Thank you so much for your patience and sticking it out with us! We appreciate you guys so much and we cannot wait to continue growing with you!

They sent an email saying a product they were waiting for came in and they would ship boxes today. Then I got this email that said at end of week. This is bull shart !!
Hello,

Thank you for shopping at Ricky’s NYC !!!

May boxes are still shipping, if you haven’t received an email confirmation with your tracking number as of yet, you will receive one by the end of this week.

We sincerely apologize for the delay.

Have a great day !

Got my box today. Grape pawpaw which smells absolutely vile, like children’s cough medicine! I am hoping to swap it and the brushes, and maybe the highlighter. I have so many similar products but the white goddess color is a bit intriguing… I did get my $11 worth with the stain removing bar (a must have for wardrobe kits in theater!) and the micellar water. But after so many amazing months I’m a bit let down that this is my first.

I was just on Instagram and saw that the box reveal post for May that Cult Crushes posted has had the comments disabled and all the previous comments deleted. They’ve also put up a new post abt the soap not being able to be used on brushes and that post has comments disabled as well.
Why would they do that? Cam anyone offer an explanation pls?

When I first saw this as my first box, I immediately cancelled. I tried everything except the laundry bar and actually love the other items so far so I regret cancelling so soon. 😛 I spent too much on the FFF add-ons yesterday to sign up for the June box, but l will probably watch to see what the upcoming months look like and submit to CC again soon. 🙂

Still waiting on a tracking email…My account is still listed as processing & I’ve been charged.

I know they send them out in batches but some people have already received theirs & I still haven’t received notification mine has even shipped??

I just got this email from Ricky’s. Apparently you CANNOT use the laundry soap for your brushes.

Hi Cult Crushers, 

Please know that the Laundress Wash & Stain bar is only intended to be used for removing makeup stains from clothing. We advise you to only use the product for it’s intended use. 

Some people have informed us that they use this product to clean their makeup brushes but this product contains borax which may cause irritation on eyes so please make sure to throughly wash out all product from brushes. 

Thanks everyone!

So I got my box today…yay! Oh wait… I also got my box on Thursday.

Thankfully, I didn’t get charged twice but I still feel like I should let them know in the interest of exhibiting the same honesty I expect from companies and other people…ugh.

Side note – same highlighter color but different Paw Paw this time.

They send mail for me. and took money too. And they should send shipping information at last week. But they didn’t send mail. I started to worry about really i can get my box this month or not. (++;

Got my Ricky’s Cult box today. I am thrilled with my 1st box contents!! Very useful products 💥 I get plenty of makeup in my other Subs. Received the Desert Sand highlight shade and itis Gorgeous 💞…I do not like the look of tip of nose highlighting at all!! The Strawberry Paw is Great.. Any Flavor on that product. Truthfully I will use Every Item 😊

I got my for first Ricky’s box today. I’m not mad at it. I’ve never tried the Bioderma and I’ve heard good things. I usually use Jojoba oil to take off eye makeup so we’ll see. I’ve never tried the Paw Paw but I’m into the whole natural beauty thing. The highlight is a no go. I’m thirty-nine and too old for that trend. I just don’t understand why anyone wants to highlight the end of their nose. The Laundry soap if different. I doubt I’ll ever use it. I’ll add it to my “bug out” bag for nuclear war threat. The brushes seem nice. I don’t have a pointy crease brush so I’m stoked. All this being said I still cancelled. I’m on sub box overload and I blame MSA for that.

I’m glad I cancelled. The items were getting pretty sad

I’m a new subscriber to Ricky’s. This is my first box, and I’m please with it. I have a use and purpose for everything. I’m surprised at how some people expect a pallet or high end products every month at this price point. Even with a $3 increase, you’re still getting a full size highlighter, micellar water, and soap (which I really thought was a smart and creative inclusion–The Laundress is a really nice brand for laundry products).

I think a lot of hate on this box is coming from everyone frustrated with the price increase.. but inflation does exist, and you can’t expect the same quality of products at the same price point forever. They are wanting to stay competitive at a still very affordable price point. I’ve had several beauty boxes, and the $10-11 boxes never have as many full-size products in one box and often have much smaller deluxe sample sizes that what is seen here.

Honestly I am subscribed to Ipsy, Ricky’s, Boxy, so Susan, Allure, Sephora, Glossy Box Yes Oh Yas, and Birch Box and not one box has absolutely “WOWED” me this month. I’m not complain though I have received products I haven’t before but nothing to write home about seems like Boxy was my makeup heavy one this month. Ipsy seems to be leaning on skin care. I don’t need anymore Primers, or highlighters!

I got my first box today and am very happy with it. I recently bought a few BH eyeshadow palettes, so it’s nice to be able to try out their brushes now. The Aura Glow came in White Goddess, very pretty and it smells nice, too. I got the pure paw paw in watermelon. I thought it was nice to get a product from The Laundress – love their products!

I signed up because of the past rave reviews and the waitlist lifted. Very underwhelmed , however I will give them another chance. They sent me two boxes and each had same color dark highlighter but one grape pawpaw ointment and one strawberry. I actually like the ointment, everything else, not so much. Let’s hope they get better with the price increase

If anyone is looking for the Chi chi OMFG palette, mine is up for swap!

My first box and last. I think I only signed up after seeing palettes, but I can use $14/month to save up for the palettes I want, and not end up with pasties and eyelashes I won’t use. I don’t think I’m in their target demographic but just succumbed to the FOMO.

This is my first box after being on the wait list for 2 months. I am kind of disappointed. I had looked at all the past boxes and saw cool different items. I was not expecting a palette but hopefully more makeup and unique items when I got this sub. But the ointment looks like something you get from Avon for a kid and laundry soap???? I gt that yes you might get makeup on your clothes, but I really have no use for it. The brushes look ok but are small. I guess I can put them in a travel kit, but I rarely travel so this box was a bummer for me. It is still better than IPSY in my opinion but I hope next month is better. I am giving them a 3 month trial to see if I like next month’s box better. So far my favorite sub box by a landslide is BoxyCharm. I also love my Lola Beauty box. I also get IPSY which I may cancel soon, Macy’s, Allure, and Sephora which I only keep for the bonus points, although I did like my bag this month from them, I got the Becca, Porefessional, and Kat Von D Tattoo liner… all three spoilers which I was lucky, my Sephora boxes usually suck. I wil try out the liquid highligter from this box, I need practice at using liquids, I usually only use dry highlighters and my favorites are the Too Faced Diamond one, and the Wet n Wild Mermaid one. I do have 2 other Becca ones, the light chasers. I am hoping with the price increase that they up their game a little. I just think that they kind of rushed and put a bunch of junk together this month to get everyone off the wait list.

My first box arrived today – very happy! Always need micelular water and I’m leaving town for two weeks so perfect travel size. The laundry soap will also be perfect for vacation and smells ahhhhmazing! I am on highlighter overload BUT I am going to use this one with lotion on my legs for shimmer and not feel guilty like I’m “wasting it” by not using it on my face. Mini brushes will work great for my purse and I’m excited to try out the paw paw balm (I got watermelon). No regrets here!

Just got this email after asking where my tracking was….I was charged 2 or so days ago.
