I found an interesting company that allows one to test luxury beauty products without breaking the bank.
It’s been difficult to keep up with all the beauty products and brands launching in India. And for me, it’s been equally difficult to get to the store (don’t we all love traffic?) and spend the time trying stuff and figuring out what I like. I really can’t buy a 3,000 Rs cream after 5 seconds of trying it in the store. Not that I haven’t 😉
I stumbled upon www.blisscovered.com yesterday, and it promises to home deliver (all over India!) beauty samples (skin, hair, bath&body, etc.) that can be tested out at home over a period of time. The best part is that if you like one of the products, you can order the full size online. I just ordered their January box of samples, and I’m excited to see what’s in there! Based on their website, they’ve apparently tied up with Lancome, Kiehl’s and Make Up Forever (LOVE!) among a few others (but I’m hoping one these are definitely in my first box). It also doesn’t look like they send you sachets from their pictures– so I’m expecting a little box of pretty bottles. It also appears that they throw in a Rs. 200-300 voucher.
When you sign up, you fill out a ‘beauty profile’ – essentially a questionnaire that asks you what kind of products you like/don’t like and a few other questions about your skin/hair/allergies – presumably the box they throw together is based on this. So yes, it’s customized. Signing up was also surprisingly painless – just went to www.blisscovered.com and followed the instructions. It looks pretty promising – I’m excited to see what my box looks like!
OMG….this is really greattttttttt….I want the box….. :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:
Jomo ji..any idea what is the size/ quantity of the trial products?
Sanjeevji….I think the quantity would of be travel size probably, I am not sure because they are giving out for trial….. O:) O:) O:) O:)
but I am making a list of all that Rati has tried… :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: :jog: travel size ho toh bhi chalega :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance: :happydance:
I hope travel size hee ho…agar sample size bheja toh mujhe bhaut gussa aane waala hai!! :nonono: :nonono: :nonono: :nonono: :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:
Kimi…I think most probably it is travel size hi…..let’s hope :puppy: :puppy: :puppy: :puppy:
I have already subscribed for this. Am waiting eagerly for my box to arrive :woot: :woot: :woot:
me have a question for blisscovered: Will I know in advance when my box arrives so that I can leave money at the delivery address (which happens to be my office address)
Kumkum, will let you know in a bit if that can happen O:)
I’ve also ordered my January pack!! 😀 Waiting eagerly to receive it!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

I also wanna try :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
@Sanjeev We try our very best to give samples are generously sized, with enough product to allow you to figure out if they’re right for you! This varies by product category – you def. need more shampoo than a serum to figure out if it’s right for you.
@Kimi – we have your order! Thank you!! And we’re excited to send out our box to you!
😀 😀
Wow……..I must place order quickly then…… :woot: :woot: :woot:

@Jomol we’ve got your order but one more step remaining. We emailed you with the link to your beauty profile. Tell us about yourself so we can give you the best mix of products.
blisscovered….I have completed the order, please do check 🙂 :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
they say Every month, you’ll receive a box filled with 4-5 beauty samples from luxury brands…so does that mean every month we need to pay 700 on cash on delivery ?
yes…srishi…but I feel that’s a pretty good deal…they are giving out only luxury items…isnt that great :woot: :woot:
yeah…thinking to order it!
isn’t the indian beauty blogging world sooper dooper excited abt this? I am waiting for the first boxes to be delivered so I can decide to go for the next one 🙂
Avanti, does INR 700 include shipping?
yes shipping is free Anks O:) O:)
these are like those $10 glam boxes….US mein jo chalta hai for every month..but they send 1-2 full size products too..along with the travel sizes of others!! 😛
Hopefully Blisscovered grows to that level soon!! :pray: 😀
yes you are right kimi, those are called birch boxes
lets hope we too get these shortly…
i hope that they work on the same concept… even if they add one full size product everymonth, it is paisa wasool…!
Yes Kimi, I think blisscovered is working on the same concept, I seriously don’t mind spending Rs. 700 for trying out luxury products….its a gain-gain situation :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

It’s sooo expensive. Beauty subscription boxes abroad are like 500 rupees (less than that actually) and they even give 2 full size products along with 3 big enough sample sizes. Ive watched waaay too many birchbox videos on youtube. Ones in India are pretty lame for the price. But, it’s start I guess. I’m waiting to see if lushbox.in is going to be any better. Did they take a note of your skin colour? You know, for foundation? Oh and do post a review when you receive your box. 😀
Rukeia….they have just started out and we are yet to receive our boxes, so keeping our fingers crossed, but its a great idea to begin and yes, they have noted down skin colour, skin problems, tone, etc., all, once we confirmed our order O:) O:) O:) O:) O:)
Woaaaah that’s really nice of them to take note of the skin types! I’m broke and still in college so I can’t afford one just yet. I’ll wait for the reviews 🙂
and yes, a review will be up once I receive my box 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
I just ordered mine awhile back. I will be getting the feb box since Jan boxes are all sold out.
