This is a new US Based beauty box subscription service that curates Asian cosmetics at just $12/month! Is it worth checking? I would say so. Read more for the first unboxing & review!
When I heard about this new subscription box from Tracy of Fanserviced, I was sold on this affordable US based box. I paid only $12/a month so it is about the same as Ipsy or Birch, so I took the plunge and got a box. The lovely people at 3B were prompt to answering my questions and they shipped my box out the next day!
About the Box:
The 3B Box promises around 4-5 deluxe samples of various Asian cosmetics and skincare ranging from popular low end brands like Etude House to high end ones such as SK-II. Right now they do not ship ooutsidethe US, but they are looking into it! They just started a week or so ago, so I would probably let them get in their groove first before dismissing it!
The box came in sturdy white box with a 3B logo on it.
The box contains a purple pouch sack with the goods inside!
Info Sheet! 4 products for their first box!
Etude House Moistfull Collagen Kit ($4). These are 15mL each and I would estimate around $4 together, but honestly this is worth like a $1 haha. I've never tried this line before, but I guess I can now. On a side note, i really hate these types of sample bottles. They are hard to get any product out.
The Face Shop Herb Day Cleansing Wipes ($3)! This is $3 at my local FaceShop. It's useful and convenient. I've used these before and they're just okay, but it does the job.
This is a full size K-Palette 1 Day magic Liquid Eyeliner ($15)! This is a very popular drugstore eyeliner in Japan that can retail for around $15 in the states. Well this makes up for the box already! I don't use eyeliner, but I'm sure my sister would love this.
Nature Republic Nail Polish ($2) is the last product. Again,I don't use nail polish, so this will go to my sis as well haha. I know a lot people don't like polish (especially red polish) in their boxes, so this might make some people sigh haha.
Final Thoughts
The box costs $12 [shipping is included!] and the total value of this box is around $24, so it is not too shabby. You save a lot on shipping fees, it's actually a better deal. I am looking forward to when you can customize your preferences ala birch/ipsy so I don't get makeup or polish, but for now, this is a great box in regards to value!
