That would explain why some people said it included discontinued items.  Think about it, a beauty box would be a perfect way to unload discontinued items in volume.  I think I need to start my own discontinued and old product beauty box, just be upfront about it.  I would call it the oldcrapbox.com

On a serious note, I did subscribe to a box that looks very promising call radiantone.com which is all personalized skincare items.  They are all pretty high end quality brands and it is only $12 a month, although you are required to sub for 3 at $36.  It seems formatted like birchbox in terms of reviews equaling 10 points and 100 points equal $10. I saw a positive review on mysubscriptionaddiction.com and thought I would try it.  I am an esthetician, which roughly translates into skincare addiction. There is a small thread about it on MUT here https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/134766/one-radiant-skin-care-box/0_60

Yep, I've subbed to them too after seeing her review! So excited for my first box!

Boxycharm just posted this on Facebook:

Dear Boxycharm subscribers and followers,

We would like to give you a little history about our company. We purchase our products from third party vendors, not directly from the brands. Some items may not be available in stores as they may have been from last season or with different packaging. We intentionally started this company with a new approach than other subscription boxes; to provide full size items from well known and popular brands. We hand select every item from our warehouse to assure that you receive popular and loved items. if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email us at [email protected]

Warm regards,
Boxycharm Management

At least they're being (mostly) honest about it, but the website and pictures they posted on their facebook prior to the first boxes being sent out were all photos of high end stuff - WAY misleading. I find it irritating when a company won't come clean until after the fact, once they've gotten your money and people have started complaining.

Kudos to them for clarifying. There's absolutely a market for that kind of box and I'm glad they aren't trying to hide it or lie about it.

Edit: Just saw the stuff about the higher end stuff that they were posting. That kinda sucks. Also, the strangeness with their ripping off Glossybox's site.

I didn't.  If I had needed a watch I might have, but I don't wear the watches I have.

Regarding Unmentionably Cheeky, I don't know too much about the company but I got a package from them today, they appear to be sending their own brand of undies. They're decently cute! I won't be subbing because they only have sizes S, M, and L. But for anyone who was curious, here's what I got. The three styles are all a bit different, the black ones are my favorites.

I "hate to sound like a B!tch" but that is totally shades of Glossybox Canada past and prob one of the reasons they left Canada as so many bloggers were contantly trashing the company and of you looked them up almost all the recent reviews were bad.

Also I wonder why they do not have a phone number or give names in their communication- that is oddly like the former Glossybox Canada.

And the old Glossybox service in canada did use many third party services or whatever to add to the boxes we got.

I noticed that since last summer and did mention that online a few times and found out about that from the brands they were using.....not from glossy....

-I am adding "Canada" in my post, as there is so many "glossy" versions it makes it easier to know which I am writing about.

That area of Miami is North Miami I think and there is a lot of discount stores, warehouses and it is not a good place to be walking at night.

I am in that area a few times a year or was before.

It is a somewhat run down part of Miami, I think?

There is tons of discount stores, pawn shops and a lot of those Bail money places everywhere in that area I noticed.

Has anyone successfully contacted Ummentionably Cheeky? I emailed them yesterday and sent them a FB message today but I haven't heard back. It doesn't seem with it calling them since its just one quick question.

hahaha I am too! Once I found a pair I liked (cotton cheeky boyshorts WITHOUT elastic around the leg opening) they're all I'll wear unless the outfit calls for something specific. I can't STAND elastic squeezing my thighs.. it makes my skin angry.

I'm trying to find an underwear and socks monthly subscription. I was going to subscribe to PantyFly but then saw all the reviews so I passed. Anyone have any leads on a good one out there?

I used to have and loved Sock Panda, they have great socks and wonderful customer service.  It's just not a great deal for $11 a month to get one pair of socks, but a least they were really good quality socks.

For underwear I have still have Ditsies, which has been a great company so far, with really nice underwear.  It's also not a great value at $12 a pair, so I don't know how many more months I will do it.

Another new food subscription box is Orange Glad. They deliver sweets and convections for $15.00/month (plus s&h). Their first box comes out on July 1, and they look promising! I really like the website's design and the boxes' packaging (in photos). They're sending me a box to review for my blog next month, so I'm anxious to try it out and see how it goes. They've also got a coupon code JUSTLOUISE6 that will save you 10% off your order.

Have your tried Foot Cardigan? I order a subscription for my husband. Their socks look really quirky and fun, and it's only $9.00/month. So, a little cheaper than Sock Panda, but still a lot for socks I guess. I just loved their website so much, I couldn't resist.

Ozone socks is nice and good quality- but it is kind of expensive.

I try to get their socks on sale and am hoping they have some good online sale sometime.

But all their socks are really nice and fun!

Ozone socks has a sub and I think you have to do12 months or something.

I would do it if I did not already own 20+ pairs of their socks....

-they also have a guys sock sub!

I went to their website, it is hilarious!  The bios are really great and the entire site is super creative.  Turns out they are $9/month plus $2/shipping, so they end up being $11 like sock panda.  The do look like way more fun socks, so I have to give them kudos for that.  I may have to try a few months just to see what they might send.  At least you know it will be a really funny sock!
