My Julep's May box was highly anticipated because it had a magnetic nail polish called Kylie. The magnetic nail polish had made its debut several months ago retailing between $15 to $20 a bottle and I was excited that Julep came out with their version. It's great to have gotten this polish along with two additional polishes and a mini pedi cream sample with my monthly membership. Can we say a box valued WAY over it's box purchase? I can!
Early last week, I made a goal to use products I have but have yet to use at least one product a day.
Here are the products from last week and my initial thoughts -
Like how natural they look. Easy application. Liked the included glue. These lashes are after 3rd use. Could see the white band when using dark eyeliner. Will continue to test. Initial - 3 out of 5 stars
Black gel liner. Nice and easy application with included brush. Used 2x. Initial 5 out of 5 stars
April's Julep box was really festive with a box filled with easter themed decorations with green looking paper grass and chocolate eggs. I initially quizzed out to "American Beauty" and have chosen to change my box to "It Girl".
A December deluxe box from gogogirlfriend in March is very poor customer service!
I have had bad service after my first box and decided to get a deluxe box as my last hoorah with this company. Well, it took them 3 months to get me this box. Good riddance. Being a birchbox member for 10 months now, customer service and transparency of when boxes would be received is high on their priorities - which didn't seem to be the case with gogogirlfriend.
This deluxe box was offered to members and contained many full size items well worth over the value paid - $28.
After calculating the value of each item in this box, it came out to over $50 which in turn saved me over $30!
Omg! My obsession grows with these monthly beauty box subscriptions!!
I've been a member of Birchbox for over 6 months now and have gotten 2 quarterly New Beauty Test Tubes which I love because I get a box every month with some really fun beauty items! I can't get enough! Goodness!
I received 2 new boxes on December 7th from Gogo Girlfriend and Julep.
Gogo Girlfriend is a beauty box membership that costs $12.99 to receive a box monthly of 6 or more products, discounts on products through their website and you get to qualify to be part of giveaways.
Thoughts - First impression isn't positive so far. They indicate that they are big on customer service but their delay in getting tracking information after 2 weeks (based off the FAQ section of their site) from signing up has contradicted this. I had to email them 3 weeks after my sign up date of November 2nd and they replied quickly to say that they will contact their warehouse to let them know that I contacted the company. I finally received my tracking email for my shipment on December 2nd and then received my first box on December 7th. Wow, really? This was meant to be a November box but I received it in December. World's different from Birchbox. Although some may receive their Birchbox late in the month, at least its in the month that the box was supposed to be received on.
In my unboxing, I was not impressed with my first box and was not super duper excited with any of the products. I had viewed previous videos on youtube of previous months and they had some great items. I will say that these items seem to be worth more than the $12.99 I spent. They debited money from my account for 'December' box already, so I will see how I like the next 'regular' box along with the the deluxe box I placed an order for in the beginning of this month. I will keep you posted.
