Sunday Riley Subscription Box Fall 2019 FULL SPOILERS!

I am actually very excited about this box. I have not bought the SR sub box before but I like the theme and think it is well curated. I have product overload so I appreciate non skincare items.

I am a super sensitive sleeper. I do not like light and have to use a sleep mask every night because I have to leave a light on outside my room for the kiddo. I bought multiples of the one PS had a while back during a sale. I, also, cannot stand it when smells from cooking linger and use pillow spray to block out that distraction.

I am thrilled to try a weighted blanket and am actually glad it is only 5 lbs because my kiddo tends to come into my bed at night. Speaking of which, the kiddo has been asking for a dream catcher so that works out!

I always need more hair care products. I have not tried the oil but I will give it go. I know I like the Good Genes and always need more eye stuff but happy they are not full size because of the before mentioned product overload.

Overall, I think it is a good value for the price if these are the types of products that you are into. Which luckily I am!

Just ordered! I’m running low on Luna oil and have been wanting to try a weighted blanket!

I really like this box! Unfortunately, I cannot justify the price tag to myself in order to get it. Maybe I can find some of the items on trade boards.

I’ve been waiting to see spoilers and I am super happy with the items. Can’t wait to get my box! (Not a SR employee, just a satisfied customer)

I guess I’m in the minority about this box. It’s not my favorite, but it’s not cringeworthy. I love the luna oil and am happy to get this size, which is not sample sized contrary to what others have said. You can buy this size in the store and it’s only $10 less than the $65 full size Tidal they sent in the last box. The larger size oil lasted me 6 months, so this ought to last me almost 3. I like having these small sizes of good genes for travel. I’m also glad to be able to try the eye cream without it being a full-sized hero item to see if I like it. It’s a generous sample size that will last long enough for a fair trial. I’m actually most excited for the pillow spray as I just ran out of my samples of This Works spray from other boxes. The silk sleep mask will be better for 2nd day hair. And though a 15 lb blanket is what’s suggested for my weight, I think that might feel really strange. This way I can try a light version and then see if getting a heavier one is something I’d be interested in. I don’t get subscription boxes for things I truly need and I expect inflated retail values (though I do laugh at them). So if like one great, if I don’t, I’m not going to be mad. There are plenty of options out there, especially now with advent calendars galore. I don’t get the negativity!

I emailed SR about the size of the blanket a couple of days ago and just received the following response,

“The blanket in the upcoming subscription box is 48 x 72, and was custom made for us by the manufacturer. We hope this helps- please let us know if you have any further questions or if we can assist you with managing your subscription or placing an order.”

Hope this helps.

I may be the minority, but I’m excited about this box. I love SR products (regardless of the reviews). My skin glows now, love it. I’m excited about the blanket. I have a 15lb one, but it hurts my lower back. I’ve wondered if a lighter one would help, so now I can see.

I’m not sure what it says about us that so many people are ‘meh’ about the fake reviews. It’s sad that we expect to be deceived by businesses and are willing to accept it.

I was counting down the days till this box dropped and now I’m just bummed out. There’s too many things I just wont use and the eye mask and dream catcher feel like such filler items to me. If Fall is dropping in October, looks like we won’t see Winter until January maybe?

Mmmm Sunday Riley is overpriced junk. Faking reviews is pretty lame, but lying about your education too (oh yes she did!) Worse.
T R A S H. Expected more from a supposedly wise business woman.

I’m happy with this box! I’ve canceled most of my other boxes. I’m keeping this one.
The news story is old news. Maybe since I’ve known about it for so long it’s not shocking. All I know is I love their products.

I came very close to cancelling if the blanket was child size but now that I know it will be normal size, I am pretty satisfied with the look of this box. I love the Luna oil and have purchased it a few times before and am happy to try the hair treatment. Still have some Auto Correct from the last box. Was not my fav but I haven’t really found an eye cream that works for me. Looking forward to trying the blanket too. I’ve received a few sleep masks in sun boxes so not hugely excited about the silk mask, but I feel that these boxes are well curated. I love that they typically have a theme associated with them and the items are usually high quality. My favorite theme was the love box and I still use the robe that came with it all the time.

As far as the review thing goes, it is a little disturbing but I think that is just how marketing works these days and while I probably tried SR initially due to the great reviews, I also feel that in my opinion they have lived up to the hype.

I am glad one of the users of this site posted the actions of Sunday Riley. Thanks for doing that to make sure we are informed.

1. Out of all the companies that were accused of requesting glowing reviews from influencers and employees Sunday Riley was the ONLY to fess up; let alone respond.
2. I’m excited for this box. I will use all but the hair stuff.
3. Why has this place become a Mecca for Debbie Downers and such negativity? And if someone is positive they’re accused of being paid off?
4. I’m paying for this box myself and I don’t work for Sunday Riley.

I almost bought a Slip silk mask with a gift card, so seeing one in this box made me beyond happy. For someone who suffers from migraines, I’m done with the cheap sleep eye masks that can be scratchy or apply unwanted pressure on my face or (god forbid) let light in. The 8 other items in the box for just an additional $35 are icing on the cake for me.

So I have been getting this box from the very start. However I just hit cancel after seeing these spoilers. I am just not feeling this box. Besides, my 3 year old is terrified of his room, so winds up sleeping with me most nights. No amount of special “sleep items” in a subscription box can help me get more sleep.

This has been my favorite box this year but this one does feel much lighter value-wise. If there was just one more thing (maybe instead of the dream catcher) or if the SR items were full size?

I’m not excusing Sunday Riley AT ALL but I hope people don’t trust the reviews in their products any less than they trust any other Sephora reviews. From vox.com:

Sunday Riley is likely not alone here. “This happens a lot. Sephora puts the pressure on brands — they really ‘encourage’ reviews,” says a beauty industry source who wished to remain anonymous so as not to jeopardize their relationship with Sephora and beauty brands. “When you have a new launch, the sales will increase with a ton of good reviews. I do want to reiterate how common this practice for brands is. Sunday Riley just got caught. I’m not defending it, but it’s a vicious cycle.”

I understand all the negative comments about the fake reviews. Though we all know that other companies do the same thing, this one just got caught. Not making excuses for them in any way. But the products do work well for my skin. I think it looks like a nice box.

Are we sure that it is a 5 lbs blanket and not the different one? The Luna website lists the regular price for the kids 5 lbs at 49.99, the full size 15 lbs at 64.99, and the queen 10 lbs at 69.99.

Can we get some clarification on this?

The blanket size is obviously a typo. I’m pretty sure it’s the 15 lb blanket which retails for that price.

Also, I have worked for a sales/marketing firm that would bolster comments and reviews for clients. It’s not a new thing. Unfortunately for SR they got caught doing what firms like ours are paid good money to do in a competitive billion dollar beauty industry. In fact, some of our clients made vitamins, weight loss products and beauty and skincare products that most of you on here buy. It’s called marketing. You buy the products because of the hype but you keep buying them because they actually work. If they didn’t, then all of the phony reviews in the world wouldn’t matter. Now, false claims on an actual product label stating that it does more than it actually does is where I have a problem.

fyi, weighted blankets should be 1lb per 10lbs body weight. This is suggested for most effective use.

Great idea, but not for $95. It will probably be great for someone else, though. If it were a 15 pound blanket, that would make a difference. The $15 pamphlet and $50 eye mask are laughable.

I’m relieved to see the full spoilers before the renewal was processed; thank you, Team MSA!

I cancelled to skip this box and may renew if the Winter box is better suited to my needs/preferences.

Make sure you pay attention to weight limits on the blanket. I purchased a 10lb one and it says it shouldn’t be used for anyone under 100lbs.
