I agree, I can't see them sending it, especially because I feel like there are a good number of people who dislike back licorice. Maybe you're right and  they just put the pic on a gift card or something, cause it does look pretty :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

But isn't the only thing worse than getting candy you don't care for getting a picture of candy you can't eat? Advertising this as the perfect Valentine's day box I hope it actually has physical candy in it

Anyone mention the bottle of nail polish? in front of the lipgloss? maybe?  I could be wrong.

...can they at least just be jelly beans if they must be in there haha.

Oh, well. I'm excited for the serum.

A little embarrassed to be giving this box to my mom and sister now. Should have stuck with flowers, haha.

I'm very glad that I chose this as a gift for myself from hubby.  I honestly like everything in there and I'm OK with the Dial soap, but HONESTLY?  Why were they promoting this as a Valentine's Day gift when it contains soap?  Don't they know that giving anyone soap is not only a bad idea, but kinda rude?

"Hey stinky, here's your gift!  I love you!  Honey?  .... Honey, where are you going?"

 
I LOVE black licorice. So do both my parents, and my sisters. I have a theory it is genetic, because my whole family loves it, but no one in my husband's family can stand it.
Wow, how funny! I wonder if it's because you grew up eating it? I know that explains why I love my traditional Irish food and my boyfriend can't stand it, haha.

I honestly can't imagine they would send black licorice flavored candy on Valentines Day. I honestly think it looks like a card that goes along with the blue box, and that it's a photo of the pastels. Perhaps the back of it has a coupon code or something.


I'd say you're probably right! I couldn't go to the sugarwish site on my work computer and it's acting strangely on my cell phone, but now I see kind of how it works and it looks like you get an ecard to go on and pick out your own candy. I wouldn't mind that!
 
Based on the IG pic the value of the box seems to be pretty good compared to recent boxes! I think I can get use out of most of this stuff, but the Dial is throwing me off from loving the box. It is not so much that it is a drug store brand but it's not a good drug store brand. If they gave us a full size of Dove body wash, which doesn't feel so harsh and is all about girl-power these days, I don't think I would mind it as much. Can't wait for mine to come in and overall I am much happier with this one that I have been the past 2 months!

 
I like this box I hope I don't get the liqorice  I don't really like them but I am sure someone else would. This box seems pretty good to me . I am happy with it so far. The dial is really throwing off the box  because its your first impression . So at first I was like  Wtf

I'm having the hardest time seeing what that is! Gosh, I was really hoping for some jewelry in this box. Like really really wishing for it. Ahh well. I'm ok with the soap and I think the jewelry roll looks pretty cool. Plus candy? It's still a win for me, but just not as amazing as I was hoping for..
 
All in all I think its a pretty good box. I like or have the potential to like almost everything in the box. I gifted one to my sister also and I think she will appreciate everything in the box. It would be nice to be wowed be one of these boxes, instead of just satisfied.

Likes:

Jewelry Roll

Face Serum

Candle

Potential to Like:

Lip Product

Nail Polish

SugarWish (depends on what type of candy might be included and the value of a gift card if there is one)

Dislike:

Dial Body Wash (not something I would ever gift to another person)

I'm actually thinking about pulling the Dial out of my gift boxes just to save myself the embarrassment, hahaa

HAHA! good point. We need to tell everyone at these sub boxes to follow this thinking...

So, the Dial soap you can buy anywhere, and the Nourish Organic is available at Target. Kind of makes me think of a TotalBeauty box. Maybe the rest will be good enough to make up for it.

 
Eeesh. Has anyone actually looked at all the candy they have on sugarwish? It all seems like the bottom of the barrel candies that no one wants LMAO (aside from the reeses pieces and m&m's)
I was thinking the same thing! I was hoping for something a bit nicer for the "Valentine's Day" box. Even Ghirardelli chocolate that I can get at CVS would be preferable, IMO.

~Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash (~$3):~Nourish Organic Argan Face Serum ($23.99)~Sugarwish Candy Sampler ($25) (I can't see where you can just buy one candy on their site?)~Gorjana Brooks Jewelry Roll ($45)~Nail Polish (?)~Lip Gloss (?)~k. hall Designs Peony Candle Tin ($11)
At least the serum is a good value...but when I got the lotion from them in my Ipsy bag I didn't care for it at all. I hope this product is a lot better.

 
It looks like sugar wish lets you choose the candy and they send it to you. They have some fun stuff--like cinnamon gummi bears and root beer barrels. It's mostly kid type candy. Which I like! I like the box, mostly because I like the jewelry roll. The rest will all get used. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
