BeauBox Enter Malaysia Beauty Box Market with the Launch of it’s Debut Box “Bare Beauty”

With a handful beauty box subscription services available here in Malaysia, one would think it’s a crazy decision to launch another beauty box into the market especially after bidding farewell to three beauty box namely Fabulous Finds, BBF and the most recent one would be CosmoBox. Not to say it’s totally cray cray to launch one now. To me the identity and direction of each beauty box is what makes the difference between each box.

A few days ago I found out that there will be a new beauty box make available in Malaysia which was targeted to launch on 11th November 2013, which was yesterday by the way :D. BeauBox is armed and set to be the world’s 1st full sized beauty subscription box that promises a minimum of 4 full-size products monthly. Let me tempt you further with first hand info on this new exciting beauty box 😀

“Beau” is a French word for Beautiful. It also mean Beauty in short so BeauBox simply mean Beauty Box. If you read a similar sentence elsewhere means someone copied my idea. Let me tell you why. All along I know Beau in French means beautiful and I double confirm that with google. But Beau doesn’t mean beauty, according to google dictionary on multiple sources. I figure out myself that Beauty is the short for Beautiful in order for me to link the word BeauBox to Beauty Box so there’s no way other people can figure out that beauty is also the meaning of Beau ;). It’s not close!

BeauBox is not only the world’s first beauty box in the world that promises a minimum of 4 full-size products but it is also the first beauty box that named it’s box Beauty Box, but in a chic way.

Kelvin Tan, the Founder & Executive Director of BeauBox International said that the birth of the box doesn’t come easy as he spent 2 years studying the industry before the box is ready to be launched to the market. He envision BeauBox to be different from the rest of the current market player. It is always his desire to evolve beyond sample boxes. BeauBox is more than just a beauty box subscription service. It is a combination of subscriber’s brand of personal beauty and BeauBox brand of professional formulas. What this means is that BeauBox creates a bridge for the philosophy of “Beauty without Boundaries” and emphasis on sourcing for the best beauty balm to colour correctors from Korea or even innovative formulation from Italy and colour pigments from the Asia.

Are You Ready For The Next Evolution?

We now know that BeauBox offers a minimum of 4 full-size products in each month’s box. Some of you in Facebook are already asking if there is any sample or deluxe sizes accompanying the full sizes. The answer is NO. BeauBox mission is to want their subscribers to try, learn to use the products and enjoy the journey of it because to them that is how they define a true sampling experience through full size products. So you will only be expecting full size products :). I suppose this will be “the box” for those that are constantly asking and demanding full size products in a beauty box.

The Box

BeauBox’s box is environmental friendly that their current box uses recyclable material. The intention of this box design is of course reusable as storage box, gift box and one more…as a tissue box. I didn’t do this to my box but if you notice the love shape dotted line? Just pop that out and voilà! Do keep in mind not to throw away the heart shape as this card will allow you to join exclusive Beauty Workshops :D. Brilliant idea isn’t it? 😀

The surface of the box is matte with beauty related spot UV stamps all over the box. I say it’s really girly girl and I kinda like the way it is. Kelvin, the Founder said that he intend to change the box every 6 months. That’s another feature to look forward to 😉

The Debut Box – BeauBox “Bare Beauty”

BARE-YOUR-SOUL. These three words are to encourage everyone to express their individuality. It is also based on these three words that BeauBox came up with “Bare Beauty”, the theme for it’s debut box.

The box is really not that big. It is a nice box size to fit in 4-full size products, all wrapped up in a soft colour tissue. BeauBox don’t just include a product description card. They do it in a different way. I get a A4 size paper, all rolled up like a scroll with a detail info and explanation of the theme on one side with all product description on the other side. The paper is spacious enough to fit in larger pictures and detail description of each product.

Just to give you an idea of what I’m talking about. Here’s the scroll-like paper included in the box earlier.

The Debut Box Content

The products are all wrapped up in soft colour tissue with BeauBox brand logo sticker securing the ends together. As the world’s first full-sized subscription box, there’s nothing else to expect but full size products of course! 😀

BeauBox “Bare Beauty” debut box is a box that give all the essential product to accentuate and highlight individuality. It’s a box of encouragement for you to express your authentic self. As I said earlier, there are a minimum of 4 full-size products in each month’s box. Means it can go more than that. Anyhow let’s focus on the debut box “Bare Beauty” aight?

The actual value for “Bare Beauty” is RM595 or £115 but the box that you see below is valued at RM546 as there is one item that is not included as per the newsletter included. Here’s the list of full size products in the debut box.

(1) Wonder Powder Intuitive Mineral Foundation in Nearly Nude – RM79 / 6g
(2) The Stare Palette Eye Contouring Kit – RM149 / 12g
(3) Rays Of Light Supreme Radiance Serum – RM229 / 30ml
(4) Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush in Cranberry – RM69 / 2.5g

What’s missing is Sexy Blender worth RM49. Add that in and the value of my box would be RM595! 😀

All product except for Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush is especially created for BeauBox, which pretty much self-explained on why we have never seen or heard the brand and product before. I know you must be wondering what if you would like to purchase after trying. Well, you can get it from BeauBox website of course. That will be coming up real soon.

Rays Of Light Supreme Radiance Serum (RM229 / 30ml)

This serum is said to be a magical elixir that delivers phyto skin brighteners into the skin, reversing and repairing UV damage as well as to counter over-melanin production. It is a high performance radiance serum which ensure it’s users that the ingredients is able to make it’s way into deeper layers of the skin.

Product is Made in USA.

The Stare Palette Eye Contouring Kit (RM149 / 12g)

At the beginning I over-looked the name and pronounced it as the “star” palette but soon realized it’s actually stare :D. This is a 6-colours combination palette which is packaged in a travel friendly light-weight packaging. As the name Eye Contouring Kit suggest, this palette offers colour combination shades that contour, shade, highlight as well as accentuates the eyes. This will be a decent palette to create that sultry, seducing, smokey eyes look.

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush in Cranberry (RM69 / 2.5g)

The brand itself is not new in Malaysia and this will be my first Jelly Pong Pong. I like that this product is named as Lip Blush instead of Lip Stain or Lip Stick and they have a good reason for it. I know this looked familiar but I would still want to tell you what this is because it is different in a way. This Lip Blush is a moisturizing lip stain that serves as a usual lip stick and it also “tint” your lips, giving your lips that color even after the lipstick faded. Lip Blush is said to hydrate lips like a balm all thanks to beeswax and ceresin wax ingredient in it. You can also use this product as cheek stain or as cream blush. I assume that’s why it was named as Lip Blush 🙂

Wonder Powder Intuitive Mineral Foundation in Nearly Nude
(RM79 / 6g)

Wonder Powder is a loose mineral foundation powder and this serves as a powder to reduce any imperfection on the skin as well as to give a radiant and luminous glow at the same time. The powder is formulated with skin-compatible minerals which intuitively create a natural dimensional finishing on the skin without over doing it. The powder gives a silky matte finish that helps to control excessive oil secretion thus eliminating the unwanted shine. Wonder Powder also comes with UVA/UVB ray protection with it’s SPF15. It is also talc-free which is good as it won’t clog any pores and skin congestion.

Product is made in Italy.

  • very interesting concept! i think they are quite daring to introduce such an expensive box..
    i havent seen all four brands before… haha… maybe i live under the rock XD

    • Not even Jelly Pong Pong? The rest like Wonder Powder, The Stare Palette and Rays Of Light serum is especially made for BeauBox so we have not seen it before 😛

  • I saw an article on this new beauty box in hot magazine yesterday. Asides from the serum, not too keen on the box. =/ I’m wondering for the future box, will they do a preview of the box content as well? For RM129 a month I would want to know what I’m getting. If I ended up with a bunch of products I can’t/won’t use, I’d rather just go to hte shops and buy just 1 item I could use.

    Reply
    • Yes. There’s an article in Hot magazine. There will be sneak peek video of what’s in store for you in the coming box. From the sneak peek you will be introduced to BeauBox pick of the month but at the same time the surprise element of the box is well maintained. This debut box preview is totally understandable as it’s the first debut box :). Actually I was told that this box cost RM89. The price I put is based on the website :).
      The concept is still the same as conventional beauty box. You will somehow end up with one or two products that you can’t or won’t use.

      Reply
      • At least with cheaper beauty boxes, even if you ‘burn’ the money it is only RM40+. It’s easier to console yourself if you don’t like the content. But for RM89, it would hurt a lot worst! With RM89 can already buy certain full sized products I would like, compared to RM40 harder to find full sized products for that price. Does that make sense? At lest that’s how I rationalise it in my head. 😀

        Reply
        • Lol. It depends on each person’s judgement Ashley. If I were to subscribe I think 4 full-size is pretty decent for a RM89. If you are like me who have overflowing products to use then it makes sense to spend RM89 for a single full size product of your choice. So…it really depends. But at least you managed to rationalise according to your need and requirement 😉

  • The box looks lovely but is so expensive. By subscribe the 6 months plan will be more worth as after divide, monthly fee will be RM 74.17 compare to 1 month plan RM 129 (did not include shipping)

    Reply
    • That’s because they only ship out all full size products dear. This debut box is already worth near to RM600 and you only pay a fraction of the price 🙂

  • So fast!

    • Hot news ma haha. To be edited 🙂

  • Oooh! Sounds interesting! Yes, the full-sized factor needs to be stressed or people will think it’s expensive. Will definitely be keeping an eye on this one. I am totally subscription addicted.
    You’re the first off the block, Fiona! So reliable at keeping us informed. Love ya!

    Reply
    • I agree with you. Many will just glance at the price and said it’s expensive without finding out why is the subscription fee priced that way 🙂
      Yay for being the first! Sorry for the wonky pictures. I was contemplating if I should publish it. I thought I can just go ahead and change the pictures whenever I can 😉

  • Hot stuff! But I don’t know most of the brand. Is the brand available in Malaysia?

    Reply
    • It will only be made available in Malaysia through BeauBox website 🙂

      Reply
  • Fiona, any manufacturing or expiry dates on the products?

    Reply
    • No manufacturing date but the expiry on The Stare Palette is August 2016. There’s no date on the rest of the products.

      Reply
  • wow all stuff make me interesting to subscribe.but why too expensive?for subscribe for 1month?i did not try.

    Reply
    • Hi telingabulat,

      It’s not expensive considering 4 products are all full size with a whopping total worth of RM595. Now they are offering a special RM89 just for debut box subscription from 14th to 25th November.

  • Interesting concept of customized products just for this beauty box. Kudos to the beauty box entrepreneurs as they have increasingly innovative and captivating ideas! If you are reviewing the Rays Of Light and Stare Palette, I will be looking forward to that 🙂

    Reply
    • Indeed a fresh concept but I just couldn’t get my heads on creating 4-5 products every month though. Not sure yet on Rays Of Light serum and The Stare Palette. At the moment no plan yet but I’m quite random. I could wake up one morning and decided to review it lol

      Reply
  • Can’t remember where I read a similar post to yours. I still like your review more than anyone else. You are honest in your review even for sponsored. Kudos. I know it’s not easy to be this honest about voicing out your opinion and I respect you for taking the risk. Other sponsored review are just sataying sponsor backside. This is what makes you different from the rest^^

    • Thanks Evelyn. It is definitely not easy to say what I wanted to say but I do want to maintain the exclusivity to review with my own point of view 😀
