Black Box Review: March 2015

I really look forward to getting my box from Black Box, simply because it's so different from any other subscription box. I love that they're customized, but I also enjoy getting presents in the mail that are just quirky enough to feel like treats. 

This wasn't my favorite of my boxes, but only because it wasn't as geeky as my others. I did really enjoy the items in it, though, and I am happy I kept this subscription. I need a little variety in my life!

The first item was a set of lavender incense sticks. They don't smell floral at all, which is good since it's not a scent I generally like. I always like incense, though. 

As you can see, the items are packed in different packaging, which makes opening the box fun all by itself, too! The incense was obvious because I could smell it when I brought the box inside, but I never know what will be in this box.

Black Box Review: February 2015

Black Box is a very unique subscription box. Technically it has a goth theme, but really it's more a customized box based on each person's quirky weirdness. For me, it's a mix of some of my favorite things so far so I'm loving it! You fill out a detailed survey when you sign up and each month, you receive jewelry, makeup, and other random items based on your personality. I think that the box is one of the best at curating to each person.

I was iffy about this box and signed up for one month, prepared to call it a day after the first month. However, I liked that box so much that I decided to keep going and this box was a total hit again. I look forward to getting this because I have no idea what to expect!

Fortunately, my box was in piece when it arrived this month!! :)

Black Box Review: January 2015

Black Box is a subscription service that caters to the goth lifestyle, although it's not just goth items. The owner of the company hand selects the items each month based on your personality and interests. I was definitely excited to try it out, but didn't know how well it would work for me, as my goth days are long behind me. However, I loved the sample items posted on the website.

The box is actually a big black box and the items inside are wrapped in black tissue paper. Instead of an information card, you received a personalized note since each box is planned for the individual customer. I had seen some of the other boxes opened and was on the fence about continuing my subscription because those items really weren't things I would like. Again, though, since I filled out a survey about my personality, I knew that they may not be reflective of what I received.

My mailman hates me, I think, because so many of my boxes come to me looking like this. :(
