I would have to say First Aid Beauty products especially the face wash and Living Proof hair products. I never herd of them before receiving them in subscription boxes and now I am obsessed!
I loved the rosemary sea salt I got from them, too, and I still use the monogrammed hand towel they sent once. I canceled that box JUST before they all went crazy, but when it was good, it was really good.
Oh Gosh, too many to remember! If I’ve repurchased at retail (or close to), it’s a winner!
These are some favorites that come to mind right away-
- A COVERFX primer that was discounted shortly after.
(FFF)
- The red, round digital kitchen scale. I still use it to weigh packages! (FFF)
- This Black & White marbled dish that can be used for snacks, remote control, spoon rest, jewelry and more! (Box of Style?)
- Verb Ghost Oil (FFF?)
- Unhide (FFF)
- Tatcha Dewy Skin cream (IPSY)
- Winky Lux Universal Brow pencil (FFF)
- Spongelle (FFF)
- Starry Eyes Self Warming Eye Masks (Boxy)
- Sunday Riley SPF (Allure)
- Alpha H Liquid Gold (Allure)
- Ilia Limitless Lash mascara (FFF introduced me to the brand in general and I’ve tried so many of their other products now that I LOVE, like the blush sticks.)
If I had to choose just one of the above, I’d say it’s the Verb Ghost Oil. I haven’t blown out my hair without it since!
I love Verb Ghost Oil! I originally got it in a Sephora box.
I love the ghost shampoo and conditioner as well! Have you tried them? The dry conditioning spray is good too. I’ve tried some of their other products but they weren’t as amazing as their Ghost line.
No, but I might have to check them out!
#3 was from Popsugar. I just finally got rid of mine at Christmas. Lol. I just couldn’t figure out where to put it.
Probably a tie between the Unhides and IGK charcoal dry shampoo. That stuff is the best for my baby fine, easily greased up hair. And the unhides make great gifts.
OH, I need to check out this IGK dry shampoo. My hair is also baby fine and prone to looking oily. I recently got so fed up with under-performing, overpriced dry shampoo that I just bought a giant thing of baby powder. I hate the white cast, but I just couldn’t stomach paying out for expensive products that weren’t working for me.
My favorites are all from the late Popsugar box.
-
Bauble Bar snowfall necklace. It just happened to hang just right, have the right weight, etc. I traded for an extra.
-
AJ Nest Wire Bowl. It’s always holding something as the centerpiece on my dinner table.
-
NCLA Mani ER tool kit. The clippers and tweezers just felt right. Someone stole my kit off my work desk
And honestly my favorite find was probably one of the most low rv value items of boxes ever. It was a “bonus” item in a PS box. The Glade No 3 Coconut and Beach Woods Candle. I traded for like five of them. They really hit just right.
PM me your address and I’ll send you my NCLA Mani ER tool kit . I’ve never used it. It’s just been hanging out in my purse.
Some of those add-ons were amazing! I really love the Hint sunscreen. I still buy it from time to time. The pineapple smells soooo good.
Their water tastes amazing too! I’m hooked!
I adore the hint water. They really make water more enjoyable to drink if you’re over the taste of water.
Thanks so much to everyone who’s contributed to this so far! I love love love this thread, and it really has been a walk down subscription box memory lane thinking back on all the great items we’ve seen in past shipments.
I pulled some of your answers into a roundup for the feed. I tried to pull out my favorites, but:
There were so many great answers! We may need a follow up…
Great article, as usual! I love how you’re able to take random comments and turn them into something cohesive and interesting to read!
I was thinking the same thing!
