*Disclaimer: This box was purchased by See, Shop, Love!
Bare Bliss Box normally costs $19.99 a month, with shipping included. They also have three- and six-month subscriptions available, for $16.99/month and $12.99/month, respectively. The Gilt City voucher I purchased was for $12, but there was also a $3 shipping charge, so the box cost me $15.
There were five items total, and two of them were full-sized. I was impressed by the packaging and the curation of items.
- Box Naturals Box Feminine Towelettes ($2.66 for two towelettes) - These gently-scented wipes are made with all-natural ingredients and organic essential oils. They're also 100% biodegradable and free of parabens, dyes, petrochemicals, sulfates, and synthetic fragrance.
- Adorn Nails Nail Polish ($11 for .5 fl oz, full-sized) - I got the shade "Fairy Dust & Happy Thoughts," which is a light gold/cream pearl shimmer. They're "Big 5" free and come in a variety of colors.
- Pure By She She Creamy Body Wash ($2.49 for 2 fl oz) - I received the scent "Sweet Orange." This is cruelty-free certified by PETA and is plant-based. It's also vegan. It has a distinct scent, but it doesn't really smell like sweet orange to me. I'm glad to have a body wash that's free of harsh chemicals, though.
- S.W. Basics of Brooklyn Vegan Cocoa Lip Balm ($4 for .15 oz, full-sized) - I've owned a lot of lip balms and other products from S.W. Basics of Brooklyn in the past, but I had never tried the vegan variety. This smells just like cocoa and provides long-lasting relief from chapped lips.
- Palmetto Derma Retinol & Peptide Infused Lifting Eye Cream ($8.50 for .125 oz) - A full-sized version of this (1 oz) retails for $68, so even if I loved it, I probably wouldn't buy a full-sized tub. I'm sure that it's wonderful, I just have too many eye creams to get through already so I posted this up for swap. It is also cruelty-free certified by PETA, and it is made with botanical oils and organic vitamins and minerals, among other things.
Bottom Line: I liked this box. The total retail value is $28.65. My voucher was good for one box and did not automatically renew, so as of now I am unsubscribed. I would consider subscribing to Bare Bliss Box in the future, but right now I think I have too many subscriptions to manage as it is.
How do you feel about the regular price for this box and what you received? Since I'm not huge on getting organic beauty products, I can't tell if it's decent or a little high. I feel like this would be better at a $16 price point.
ReplyDeleteAlthough now I'm hearing that Gilt City voucher users got different boxes from regular subscribers and I hate that so much. I'm signed up for 5 more boxes and I hope my boxes do not continue to be different. Grrr!
Ugh I didn't know that the Gilt City people got different boxes. That's really messed up. Based on reviews on other blogs I've seen (not with the Gilt City boxes), I think $20 is a fair price because organic/natural products are usually a little bit more on the expensive side. I wouldn't pay a penny more than $20 for it, though.
