Last week, the kind people from The SaladBox sent me a sample of their beauty & lifestyle subscription box. If you're wondering what's inside, take a peek:
The Press box is themed "Filipino Pride" and contains four homegrown products. Except for the Camaru Naturals bamboo charcoal soap (whose new packaging got me so excited), I am unfamiliar with the rest of the brands.
- Full-size Natura Cosmetics Argan Cheek and Lip Stik (P150/10g) - beauty
- Full-size Camaru Naturals Bamboo Charcoal Soap (P150/135g) - beauty
- Full-size Hot Shop Perfume in Happy (P400/50mL) - beauty
- Travel-size BC Fragrance Pillow Mist (P150/60mL) - lifestyle
Among these products, I'm least excited to try out the lippie. I can't wait to test out the perfume though while the Pillow Mist intrigues me as it claims to "clear the mind" --- definitely not something you'll sleep in before a big exam, hehe.
Check out my review of the products inside the September Saladbox.

Is It Worth Subscribing To? At this point, it is unsound to come up with a conclusion. I was sent a Media edition of the beauty box which is in no way intended to mirror what paid ones contain. SaladBoxes are supposed to be a customized set of products based on the subscriber's beauty profile during sign-up.
Also, SaladBox subscribers are promised---
- Beauty, grooming and lifestyle products you will definitely love
- Experience new, up-and-coming brands & timeless classics
- Get four or more deluxe miniatures from the best beauty and lifestyle brands worldwide
- Try new products without breaking the bank and filling your dresser with all that unwanted clutter
These are huge promises and getting all these for P500/month is a very good deal if you ask me.
In all honesty, I feel that the SaladBox Press boxes may have been a less fruitful attempt in encouraging beauty enthusiasts to sign-up. Some conclude that the Press boxes ARE the actual boxes and so they shy away from hitting that 'Join Now' button. Again, Press Boxes ≠ Subscription Boxes.
If you're on the fence about getting this wonderful aquamarine box, you may initially want to try their monthly recurring plan and cancel before your credit card is charged for the following month's subscription. OR, hypnotize a good friend into sending the subscription to you as a gift! *winks*

I like how you did the watermark...
(Can you customize your subscription box to give you only skin care items?)
I agree that that box isn't tooo exciting. If you get another box next month I'd love to see it :)

Thanks!
I can verify that for you. I do know that the subscription will contain 4 or more products (at least 3 from beauty--skincare and makeup, and 1 lifestyle goodie).

I will be waiting for posts on the real subbie box in the blogosphere and will do a post on that. I do not have a CC so I can't get a monthly recurring subscription.
I did subscribed their 2 months plan/package. I just signed up this month and it says in my order status that it is still on the process. I'm too excited and I can't wait to see what's inside my Saladbox!!
Thanks for giving your opinion on the box. I might have to do as you adviced, go for a monthly recurring plan and then cancel. We'll see how my first box fares before I go for the monthly beauty box.
