It's all about the products, not the box.
After weeks of speculation we announced the arrival of the first Beauty Review Beauty Box.
December's Beauty Box is on sale now!
The Beauty Box will remain on sale for 1 week, or until all 250 are sold.
You'll need to be logged in to your BR account to purchase a Beauty Box.
THE DECEMBER BEAUTY BOX IS SOLD OUT
Yes you read that correctly, New Zealand's largest beauty website is now launching New Zealand's premier Beauty Box service!
So why the BR Beauty Box? Well, we've watched your unboxings and listened to your talk about current subscription boxes that are available, and often what we hear is that:
- Samples and sachets out number full size products.
- Products are often odd (or outright ewww) colours, end of lines and pointless products you'd never use.
- Brands they contain can be unfamiliar to you and whilst that is not necessarily a bad thing, if you do like it and want to repurchase they're not readily available.
- The box looks great but then when you open it it can be a bit of a "oh right.." moment.
So we thought that there is a place here for a top notch Beauty Box. A box that that wows and delights, a box that people are queuing around the block to get their hands on!
And here you have it! The Beauty Review Beauty Box! So, what makes OUR box different? Well, where do we start?
- Our box is all about the products, NOT about the box they're delivered in. Oh don't worry, you'll still enjoy opening it, but we've focused on what's inside..not what's outside.
- Full size products are the focus of the BR Box - any samples in the box are really just the icing on the cake.
- You'll get more value than you every thought possible from the BR box! As all products in the box are currently selling in NZ stores, we can tell you the full retail that the products in the box contain (without giving away the reveal). Our first box for example contains products to the value of almost 3 x the cost of what you'll pay for the box!
- Our boxes will be coveted by each and all. There will also be limited numbers available in each release. Therefore, to make it fair, we'll be sharing the love around. Each time we announce the release of a box, you'll need to subscribe to that box, your subscription won't be a rolling one renewed every month.
The first BR Beauty Box will be dispatched in December - you'll need to secure your box a few weeks before that however, and we will announce when they are available to purchase. We'd advise you not to dilly dally though, once all the boxes are secured and paid for then the allocation for this release will be closed off.
FAQs.
What is a Beauty Box?
The Beauty Review Beauty Box is only available to Beauty Review members to purchase. Each box will contain a minimum of 6 full size beauty products (often many more) and is a great way to treat yourself to some gorgeous products and discover new brands. You won't know exactly what is in the box until it arrives on your doorstep - so each box is a fantastic beauty surprise!
You must be a member of BR to purchase a Beauty Box. However, members of any status can purchase the Beauty Box.
What's in a Beauty Box?
The contents of the Beauty Box are a surprise, but what you can expect are at least 6 full sized products and a mix of samples. All products will be;
- Readily available in New Zealand
- Sourced through official NZ distributors or the brands themselves.
- Unless specified you can expect a mix of skin care, hair care and cosmetics.
- All products will be current stock - they'll be no discontinued products or unwanted shades in our Beauty Box!
How often will you release a Beauty Box run?
At the moment - quarterly, but keep your eyes out for special themed Beauty Boxes, such as The Nail Beauty Box or The Lip Beauty Box!
How much is a Beauty Box?
The cost of the Beauty Box will vary depending on each box. We want to offer something for everyone, so if one box doesn't suit your budget, the next one might. Rest assured the RRP of the contents will be considerably higher than the cost of the box. And we'll be using accurate, real NZ RRPs!
Do I have to sign up to a contract to purchase a Beauty Box?
No! There are no contracts or subscriptions involved with the Beauty Box. That said, securing one Beauty Box does not give you automatic procurement of another. You need to purchase each Beauty Box release separately.
How many Beauty Boxes are available?
Obviously with something this fantastic and of such a high quality numbers will be limited. We'll let you know just how many of each Beauty Box are available with each release.
Sounds great, how do I buy one?
With every release of a Beauty Box we will let you know ahead of time when they will go on sale. You'll purchase them through our online shop, just like The Beauty Vault.
Your Beauty Box is only secured once the payment has been processed, so do follow online instructions clearly to avoid disappointment.
Can I use my Beauty Points to purchase The Beauty Box?
No! Beauty Points cannot be used to purchase the Beauty Box - only real money can do this!
However, every product in the box will be available on Beauty Review, meaning you can earn points for the next vault. For example a box containing 5 full sized products will earn you $7.50 in Beauty Points to spend in the next vault. (If you review them of course!)
Can I buy more than one box?
No boxes are strictly one per Beauty Review member per box release.
Can I gift a second box to a friend?
No. One box can be purchased per Beauty Review member.
Can the box be customised to my preferences?
Where possible we will offer some customisation options. Once you have secured and paid for your Beauty Box you'll receive a link to survey which will ask questions such as;
- What is your most pressing hair need; Repair dry hair, minimise hairfall or lacking shine?
- What colour lip palette do you prefer; pinks or reds?
- What fragrance notes do you prefer? Fruity, Floral or Citrus?
So we can include in your assortment the products best suited to you. If you do not complete the survey by the given deadline you will receive all of the products but the box will not be customised to your tastes. If you purchase a Beauty Box definitely keep an eye on your BR inbox for any important information!
What if I don't like the products, can I send them back?
The short answer is no you can't send your box back, all sales are final. The idea of the Beauty Box is a continuation of our popular trial teams - to really trial a product you need a full size sample. You could always gift products you don't like.
What if I change my mind after I've bought one? Can I cancel my order?
No, you cannot cancel your order and get a refund just because you've changed your mind.
What does the box look like?
Our Beauty Box isn't about fancy packaging or pretty boxes you may or may not repurpose in the future! Your products will be carefully and securely packed in a Beauty Review courier box.
How long will it take to ship? What if my goods arrived damaged?
We'll include the estimated shipping date in the Beauty Box information for each release. As soon as your box is shipped we'll send you an email. If your box isn't with you within 4 working days drop us an email and we'll track it down for you! If your goods arrive damaged, then ditto, let us know and we'll sort it out for you and arrange a replacement or refund pronto!
The First Beauty Box - What can I expect?
As we said, the contents of the box will be a surprise, but this is what you can expect from December's Beauty Box:
- The box will contain a minimum of 9 full sized products, that meet the criteria specified above and a mix of samples.
- The full retail value of the products in the box (excluding samples) is NZ$140.00!
