Box: Essence BeautyBox
Cost: $5-10
My beloved beauty box, Essence, shut down barely a year after starting. We had some good times, and some off times, but mostly good times and 100% no sea salt spray, Harvey Prince, or dry shampoo.
I’m looking at you Birchbox…
Thanks to Pnut and Farmcat for letting me know that they are doing a sale of past boxes. I bought three and a scarf for a total of $35. Click on the picture to be whisked off to the site and check out my past reviews here to see what you can expect!
Let us know which one[s] you got!
I have order two boxes. Looking forward to getting them. And I wasn’t going to be buying any more boxes till I got things organized. But a deal like this I just couldn’t pass on since you get to pick what box(es) you want. It was hard to keep it to only two since there was a lot of great boxes! After this no more new boxes till I get some organizing done!
I think I got April’s and December’s boxes. Which ones did you get?
August, April, and November!
March, April, May and October!
It’s interesting to see the comments!
I ordered April & May!
It seems April is a favorite at least on Subscriptionista
Yeah! I love the mice water, eyeshadow stick, and cocoa butter roller. Some of my top products! Poo spray is also amazing though, so good choice on that box because that size sells for $10.
I’ve never had a cocoa butter roller – what do I with it? 🙂
It’s like a glue stick, but soft and creamy, and you just put it on dry spots or healing scars.
Mice water? When read that I had picture the kitties tearing apart the box and devouring the product.
Awww so sad!!
I just got an email that my April box finally shipped!
Hi everyone – I’ve been MIA for a few months but excited to catch up!
Hi Heat! Missed you! I emailed Onderria too asking whether she got an email from Essence. My email was again shipment for the boxes that I previously received. Alas no May/Poo-pouri for me. Maybe another box will have it. Imagine if Sephora started carrying poo-pouri bahahaha!
Aha, I just assumed April was the box I didn’t receive yet… But you’re right, it was the May Poo-Pourri one. I guess we’ll see what happens. Sephora with poo pourri would be funny! It wouldn’t surprise me though!!
I just ordered “Stink a Daisy” from Sudsy & Co. (I love their soaps!) so I’ll see how that works compared to poo pourri. 🙂
“Stink a Daisy”? Was “Smells Like Roses” copywrightednor something?
Have you tried Fortune Cookie Soaps? I am enthralled by a soap shaped fortune cookie but I think I would just keep it on display ot does not look like it would be a luxe soap experiences with the edginess. I digree, my well wishes to you in your hopes for coming out smelling like a daisy!
ROTFL!
I love seeing fortune cookie unboxings but I’ve never bought it. Looks like too much added scents and colors for me. Never thought about the edges but that’s true too!
I did a swap once and this girl sent me a bunch of tiny samples of Fortune Cookie soap products. They were highly scented and not in scents I enjoyed, so I ended up gifting most of the items in swaps later.
