A while ago I posted a question about whether I would be on a waitlist for the Sephora box or not. I wasn't at all, thanks to living in the first city they started shipping to. I was so excited for my first box. First box was okay it actually had things I'm interested in like a beauty blender and Kat Von D's tattoo liner. HOWEVER, the last 3 months have been garbage (to me.) No real makeup, just face masks and primers I couldn't care less about. I don't use that stuff, my face is fine without it. This month's box was, again, just face shit with the exception of two lip products that don't even match each other.
All of the Youtubers I've seen with "unboxings" are just so happy with getting the same products from different brands every month. HOW. I now have like 16 sample sized face shit things I'm never going to use. I don't need 16 different face creams, masks, primers, lifts, whatever the fuck else. I subscribed to a makeup box for makeup not skincare bullshit.
To end my rant, I think boxes should be custom. Kind of like ipsy does. Obviously some people are going to be incredibly happy with face bullshit, so that's great! I am not, and I'm sure many other people who also have the box feel the same way. To solve that just do a quick questionnaire like, "Do you like skincare garbage?" and if they select yes, send them all the face garbage. If they select no, send them other makeup samples.
THIS ISN'T HARD I AM TIRED OF FACE GARBAGE.

From what I've seen, the months before I started receiving the box were actual makeup. Lipsticks, brow products, eyeliners, blushes. Now it's just skin masks and cleansers, and one thing that isn't skincare stuff. Last month a lot of people were upset because they sent out the NARS lip crayon, in the exact shade as the birthday gift from last year.
They are sending out quality face stuff, I'm just not into it. A simple "are you interested in x" would take away my problem and keep me interested. If next months box is skincare again I'll probably give up on keeping the subscription. Although with my luck, the following month will be amazing makeup products lol
