You have your beauty boxes. There’s fashion boxes. Then you have food boxes. There are also wine boxes, undies boxes and so on. I look forward to the day when they’ll have tradie boxes where each month, tradies get new shiny tools to play with. Now that, I’d like to see. 😉

There are specific subscription services for specific niches. Beauty boxes contain only beauty products. Fashion boxes contain only fashion, er, things. But what if you’re a fan of both? Well, that’s where Her Fashion Box comes in!

Now I was actually sent a box to review last month but I’ve decided not to review it. Instead, I’d like to give you an overall view of what the subscription service is like from a subscriber’s perspective because I’m a subscriber myself! Sometimes boxes sent for review contain more products than they would normally contain on a monthly basis. It looks very good but there’s no way a regular subscriber would receive that many items per box whilst still only paying a minimal fee. I wouldn’t want to mislead you if the boxes are actually lacking and don’t have that many products so I thought I’ll tell you what’s in the boxes I paid for instead.

The photos you see today are from the October box. I forgot to take photos of the earlier boxes. Bad blogger! 😛

Happy Wednesdays, folks!

Thanks very much for your input on last week’s post where I share with you the answers to the frequently asked questions about products received for editorial consideration. I’m glad it’s been a helpful post to most of you. Man, I wish someone told me what to expect and do when it came to products sent for review years ago. A lot of the time, I felt like I was running around like a headless chook! 😛

Today, we continue with the second part of the FAQs about products received for editorial consideration.

6. My skin reacted badly to a product that was sent to me for review. What do I do?

If you developed a minor breakout from trying out a product that was sent to you, it’s up to you if you want to let the PR know. If it’s just a minor breakout of one or two pimples, I don’t. I will mention it in the review as a small negative point. Minor issues like this aren’t a deal breaker for me unless I’m getting consistent breakouts from using the product. However, if you experienced a severe reaction to the product (e.g. flaring red and hot skin that feels like it’s burned, hair falling out, rashes and so on), you have to stop using the product and let the PR know immediately. This way, they’ll be able to send feedback to the brand as soon as possible to avoid this from happening to anyone else.
