First thoughts time! 

This August Beauty Box was probably the first time I was disappointed by a box. As some of you know, Kinder Beauty Box is now releasing two options for boxes that get sent out at random. (I did notice that it seemed like the first batch of receivers got one box, and the second batch got the other box, so it seemed a little less “random” in that regard. And I don’t know how it’s determined who gets one over the over/who is in the first batch and who is in the second.) When I bought my 6-month prepaid subscription, this wasn’t the case, and everyone was only getting one box. However, with more people subscribing, Kinder released a statement that essentially said they would be able to highlight more clean, vegan products and to more people by releasing two boxes every month, rather than just one. We all know that that means you have a 50/50 chance now of getting a box you may not love.  

I got lucky in July with the box I preferred, but in August, I got the preferential shorter end of the stick. Also, I want to clarify that I do try to be surprised by these boxes, and not too heavily invested in looking at the two options before they come lest I get my heart set on one, and inevitably disappointed when the other one comes instead! The aforementioned is based on research I’ve done after the fact. Without further ado: first thoughts on…
