CAUSEBOX Spring 2021 Box Spoiler #4

I chose the nail products. My box is supposed to be here Friday-finally.

Jessica, I love this box too! I have been searching for so long, for a tote bag with tons of pockets like the Feed bag. I have been looking on Amazon for almost a year, but every bag I find they either just don’t have quite enough pockets or they are $30 or more. I couldn’t justify paying that for just a no name canvass tote bag. So for me, considering I’m getting the bag, one of the other 3 spoilers out so far, and 2 more products to come, I couldn’t pass this up! I feel for subscription box companies because they can never seem to do right by anyone.

Can’t wait to see the next 2 items!!!!!!!

Sadly there is only 1 more item left to be released not 2.

Random.

Nope. Seasonal subscribers get the left overs. They don’t get to choose anything. This will change, though, when people stop buying. Subscription boxes have run their course and are on the way out. At least the ones with the “no choice, you get what you get” model. Once you’ve received a few years of boxes, especially beauty boxes, you become on overload. You realize that you don’t need all this junk. You end up “gifting” half of the stuff. That’s one of the biggest scams perpetrated by sub boxes. That you could just “gift or donate” the stuff you don’t want. What sane person would spend money on stuff they never really wanted in the first place?
And this box is full of plastic! What an oxymoron of a sub! Causebox is one of the biggest scams out there. And people would be wise to recognize it before spending too much money that you’ll never get back. Go on a vacation, buy yourself something that you actually need or want, save your money. My opinion!

As a seasonal you cannot customize anything (unless they changed the rule at the very last minute). If you subscribe as an annual, all the categories spoiled so far can be customized. Sorry :/
This season the hero item is at least the same for everybody, so if you subscribe because of the bag you’re getting one, but the color will be a mystery.

Huh. It might be cool if they sourced from a fair trade group in India that had their own brand, but it feels weird when brands outsource mass production of an item to other countries to apparently have it made more cheaply.

I would not do business with B&C. Had that box for two years & they started off okay, but the curation just got worse and worse. When I complained about them sending yet another detergent on social media, I was flat out told “that the box isn’t for you.” And they were right, with that level of customer service, it isn’t.

Last choice just popped on my annual CauseBox, it’s a choice between a lip treatment duo, a setting spray and an exfoliating mask.
Underwhelmed. But. It’s a practical not exciting box and I’m still ok with it…
I really wish they would ship market box with the regular box though… Getting hit with shipping to Canada is what stops me 100% from checking out the marketplace…

Deb, my comment didn’t post, don’t know why. Anyway, causebox added some spring box items in the market this season, and there are items belonging to the same customization category with highly different RVs that are sold pretty much at the same discounted price. I personally consider those closer to the actual RV. The nail polish retail for 10 dollars.

There are some items in the same category that have big differences in RV. However, this year they added some spring box items to the market and, for example, you can get the glasses for $15(RV $85) and the napkins for $15 (RV $38). Maybe I’m wrong, but at the end I think their discounted prices reflect the real RV. The bag is priced $35: considering that it donates only 3 meals, I think it’s a more realistic RV than the $108.
(The nail polish duo is $10, but I can’t find the sponge)

Retail value is so arbitrary in general. The nail stuff has been sold for a dollar each in other subscriptions very recently. This is a collaboration duo but the value of it is not close to 36 at all. I see people selling the nail oils for 5 bucks and the sponge for around 9. At that point just pick what will actually get used the most by you or what could be a nice gift.

It’s actually soft. It’s not like a pumice stone. It’s a tree root and when you add water it becomes soft like a sponge and it’s a gentle facial exfoliator.

Bee, even at its softest, it was too rough for my face. I used it on my feet. I was intrigued with this at first use. I wouldn’t repurchase.

I don’t think this would do a good job with feet. It starts off rough but softens quickly. It is more for cleansing than exfoliating, I think.

It feels like they ordered the Feed bags, then sprinted into the clearance section at TJ Maxx, grabbed everything they found on an end cap, and said “done!”

It’s a konjac sponge so it’s not supposed to be rough at all. Have you tried wetting the sponge and waiting until it softens? I’ve only ever used it when it’s totally soft and it’s awesome then.

Add me to the list of people who are disappointed to see a repeat item in one of their quarterly boxes. It’s one thing to have a repeat in an intro box but you shouldn’t be sending out the same item multiple times to your regular subscribers. I’m happy to get the tote and charger but the rest of the box isn’t looking too interesting so far.

It’s not a repeat from Causebox — we’ve received the same items from FitFabFun’s box a few years ago lol

These are my exact same choices as well!
This spoiler is underwhelming but hopeful there will be one more nice item in this box.
