Yeah both bb and sephora have the same pinch provisions minimergency kits, bb is a dollar more but it's the same items. I got one for myself and a gf from sephora and we love them! It's so small that it fits anywhere, and when it's empty it'll make a super cute coin purse

I don't understand how they get some of the products they do for the mens box at their price point.I feel like the womens box always pales in comparison to the euro boxes and the mens boxes.
Maybe they get bigger sizes because the men-targeted grooming/stylish lifestyle stuff industry doesn't have as easy a time getting men to spend money so they are willing to give more generously towards marketing.
I never thought of it that way, but that's an interesting way to think about it, and probably a huge contributing factor.
I think this, and the fact that the subscriber base is much smaller. It's harder to give a million generous sized samples or free items vs. 50,000. Sometimes I think we're just hurting ourselves by having multiple accounts because of this, but of course I'm guilty of it myself!

That's unfortunate. I love lip stains so I was interested in trying it. But I wasn't impressed with the CR eyeliner or the swatches I saw of her palettes either. I get a very "cheap" quality impression from it.
This is definitely 100% true. Grooming/lifestyle industry definitely spends more on marketing for men. These companies are willing to send out full size/generous size samples because what do most men require to decide to pick up a product? They require using it, having it, getting used to it being in their lives, and then eventually deciding - hey, I need this and I will buy it again. Its a more loyal audience (or stubborn?) who will typically stick to whatever product they know will work. Women, on the other hand, don't necessarily need that tactile experience - seeing a blogger, a celebrity, or even someone on a forum like MUT talk about/display a product might be enough to get that key customer to go out and buy it which is much cheaper than having to put a shampoo/correcting gel/lipstick into the hands of every woman. How many times did you hear of a product that gave you box envy and you decided to buy it/spend your points on it even if it didn't come to your box that month?
