Mine came today. I LOVE this box (I got it for $40).. It might be that I’m older and have very dry skin, so serums/oils/moisturizers always interest me, and I can never have enough. I will use EVERY item in this box (including the jade roller, as I have never owned nor used one). Between the two herbivore oils, the Lapis is a bit more of a dry oil, and the Phoenix is heavier and better suited to my skin needs, though I will use both. Neither is overly scented. The Yon Ka spray toner is as advertised: def great for dry skin, and I love moisturizing facial sprays. My only tiny complaint is that the Yon Ka spray nozzle seems to go a little wonky directionally, and because it’s a metal spray can I can’t just pour the product into a different spray bottle. Still, not a big issue. The Ever lip balm feels and looks luxe. So far I like the Glo Skin exfoliator (very nice full size); the only one of these items that might not work for my face is the Youth to the People resurfacing product as I find it “harsh”, but will use it on my hands to go with the extra Sunday Riley Good Genes (I have two full-sized bottles) that has already noticeably reduced wrinkles and general “aging” on the backs of my hands and fingers.
Overall, the packaging was superb, the sizes were good (only the Sisley mask is a small sample) plus not a single thing (except maybe the jade roller) was made in China. If only I could get a sub box at this price with this level of quality products, say, every other month. I’d get it. You’d think that the New Beauty Test Tube at that price level would be even remotely as good as this box (my last TT was so bad that I’m unsubbing from it) but not even close.
FWIW, while advertised as a “spa at home” box, I think it would be just as fitting to label it as a dry-skin-saviour skincare box, so that others with dry, maturing skin would notice it and get it to try new such products—- the only product in this box that I’d already sampled or known of is the Glow Recipe (I was aware of Herbivore but had never tried it) so it’s truly discovering new product instead of a box of 111 Skin or other questionable “luxury” products.
