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 😀

BeauBox Bare Beauty 1
“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.

Bag of Love Beauty Box Review

Bag Of Love “Say Boo!” October 2013 Edition Review

Ahhh Bag Of Love. It is one of the most talked about beauty box bag subscription service locally here in Malaysia. It is also one of the subscription service that has been keeping up month by month since the beauty bag started it’s operation back in March 2013.

If you are a Bag Of Love regular subscriber or follower, you are well aware that their unique selling point is that they don’t use boxes to send out their beauty samples. Instead they came out with different type and design of pouch every month, thus creating some sort of cult follower. While I may not be a person that like to collect pouches however I am amazed with Bag of Love’s pouch design every single month. Since October bag coincide with Halloween Day, Bag Of Love took this opportunity to came out with a Halloween theme beauty bag.

Bag Of Love Say Boo 1
There are 3-full size product included in Bag Of Love “Say Boo!” October 2013 Edition. The full size product that got everyone screaming their lungs out at is the Full Size Nanowhite Infinity Color Correction Cream SPF50 PA+++ 30ml worth RM49.90. Not me :). I admit that I do have a soft spot for CC Cream but this will be the second reason on why I subscribed for this bag. BB Cream and I don’t get along very well but not CC Cream. It fares well on my oily skin so I would light up whenever I see CC Cream. The shade that I was given is Natural Beige. Judging from the shade’s name I suppose it will match to my skin but I would prefer Light Beige as I like my base makeup to be a shade or two lighter. The oil secretion by mid day will definitely oxidize the shade to darker shade. Will see how this is for me 😉

Beauty Box Review Wonderbox

Wonderbox October 2013 Edition Review. A Major Disappointment One

Before I start with my thoughts on the recent Wonderbox October 2013 edition, I want to share with you on what had happened to my box redemption a few months ago.

I have some points in my account and so I redeemed a box just before 14th August, which is before their window closing. At first the status in my account stated I’ve successfully redeemed an August box so I happily logged out and waited for my box. By the end of the month I login to my account and to my horror Wonderbox changed my August box to September box! So I dropped Wonderbox an email regarding this matter. I was told that I redeemed after the window was closed. When I confronted Wonderbox on this allegation, they quickly changed statement to “we have a sold out month”. Once again…how can it be possible if I still see the box balance on top of their website?? There’s still hundreds of boxes left!! I remember Wonderbox told me that the box balance on the website is pretty accurate. You know what? I am so lazy to argue with them that I let them off. I’m fed up of being taichi-ed all the time.

Before I even tell you the story of my supposed-to-receive September 2013 box, let me just show you the not-so-great October 2013 edition.

Wonderbox October 2013_1
Here’s the thing about September 2013 edition box. What I know is, Wonderbox decided to do a “bumper” box in October in conjunction with their anniversary hence they will be skipping September box. I’m not sure if the plan is a go or no go because there was no black and white on the bumper box except for this email that was sent to all subscribers.

Beauty Box Review MIVVA Beauty Box

MIVVA “Snow White” October 2013 Edition Review

Tell you a silly story. Actually this MIVVA “Snow White” October 2013 Edition came to me by surprise. I didn’t know I’m getting a box this month because usually mine arrived the same time with everyone else. So when everyone already received theirs, I thought I’m not getting any. But I wasn’t sad or anything. I already knew that MIVVA have a lot of bloggers under their review wings. In fact I was happy to hear other fellow blogger friend whom never received MIVVA, received theirs for review 😀

One day. Just this one fine day. I came home to a parcel on my bed. I was actually happy that the girls didn’t forget me LOL! So this month’s “Snow White” edition really took me by surprise. I had this excitement of receiving beauty box all over again. Let’s see what’s in this MIVVA “Snow White” October 2013 Edition shall we? Ready?

MIVVA Snow White1
I don’t know how other girls can photograph the whole box looking so full but I always like a clean look so I took away the black paper on the inside therefore it might looked a bit empty but actually it’s not really :D. For MIVVA I only expect one thing – diversity of new brand and product.

Bag of Love Beauty Box Review

Bag Of Love “Take Me There” September 2013 Edition Review

As far as I know, many of you are a regular of Bag Of Love. Some are regular subscribers, some are hard core fans and some are avid beauty box/bag subscribers. Me on the other hand is based on the mood and content. I’m a “touch and go” subscriber 😀

I know too that many Bag Of Love subscribers subscribe after seeing the bag design. Usually I don’t. I’ll just wait for the content sneak peek. I’m not into pouches although I do admit the pouch design is nice especially this Bag Of Love “Take Me There” September 2013 Edition.

Bag Of Love Take Me There1
I’ve seen perfume miniature but very rarely do I get to see a rollerball perfume. Usually I keep a perfume vial in my wallet and I’m running out of vial. When I found out that I’m getting this in Bag Of Love “Take Me There” September 2013 Edition, I was beyond happy 😀

Beauty Box Review Vanity Trove

My First Personalized Vanity Trove Review

Looking at the current beauty box subscription services available in Malaysia, a different approach of business module is not optional but necessary in order to differentiate one from the rest. This is exactly what Vanity Trove Malaysia did. Change.

Just a few months ago, Vanity Trove announced a change in the game plan by stopping their usual monthly beauty box subscription service to a service that I called Personalized Vanity Trove. So what this means? This means Vanity Trove will no longer send out boxes to their subscribers monthly. This also means you will no longer be surprised with the content in the box.

I have blogged about the new service in this link but I have not go through the whole process personally. When the right sample popped into the product list, I got myself a box.

Personalized Vanity Trove1
Did you notice the new box? I was so surprised to see that I’ve gotten the new box design. This new design is more classy, more thicker and more harder too. I like that Vanity Trove maintain the simplicity design and of course the drawer box. I would be really sad if it’s not drawer box anymore :).
