Just in case you are still unaware, there’s another beauty box in town. Wonderbox is the name. They had the website and Facebook page up a few months before the actual subscription started. Initially I was too lazy to re-subscribe myself (yes we need to do it twice) when they started to accept payment. But I was so curious about what it has to offer and their debut box is only RM29.90. Which explains why the box is on my hand now.
Wonderbox posted the box out on Monday 22nd October using GDex and I received the box the next day. Not bad! The box was heavily wrapped in bubble wrap and to my surprise the box has no dent at all. Another plus point!
Wonderbox website URL is printed on both horizontal side of the box.
I kinda like the ribbon on the box. It must be a tedious and hard work for Wonderbox to do it box by box.
Although the box is not as hard as other beauty box around, it is actually quite sturdy. The whole outer of the box is stamped with spot UV of their logo.
As soon as I opened the cover…I was greeted by a product description card that was folded in half.
There’s 5 product in the debut box. Only a short product description written on the card. No price is stated though.
A 20% discount from The Body Shop for the purchase of Strawberry Shower Gel 250ml or 750ml and a Clinelle product leaflet is also included.
Here’s October 2012 Wonderbox content.
1) Clinelle SnoWhite Mask 50ml
2) Clinelle Blemish Clear 15ml
3) Elianto Princezna Mascara Volume & Long Lash 7g
4) The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel 60ml
5) Sothys HOMME Detoxifying Active Cleanser 15ml. Judging from the description at the back of the cleanser…it’s for MAN. Yes you heard me. FOR MAN. Together with this there’s a card with QR code. I scanned it and it says “Enjoy 1 Hydra Active Care worth RM79 & Hydro Cooling Eye Treatment worth RM90!”
Clinelle SnoWhite Mask 50ml
Strengthens the skin’s barriers, restores and maintains optimal hydration while brightening dull and lacklustre complexions.
Clinelle Blemish Clear 15ml

Elianto Princezna Mascara Volume & Long Lash 7g

The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel 60ml

Sothys HOMME Detoxifying Active Cleanser 15ml

I was particularly disappointed to see Clinelle, Elianto and Sothys HOMME for man in the debut box. Debut box are important as that’s like the first impression to the subscribers. Unfortunately I wasn’t impressed. I thought the debut box would contain more product after reading this Facebook status from Wonderbox.
It’s misleading to said “more than 10 brands signed” after reminding everyone that October box subscription would end in 11 more days don’t you think so? Anyway it’s only RM29.90 for this box so I guess it’s alright. I’m not sure if I’d subscribe to Wonderbox due to a few reasons. 1) I don’t need anymore sample, 2) I’m not sure how the box would be after this so monitoring for a few more months is the best choice.
However if you want to subscribe you can always do so at http://wonderbox.com.my/malaysia for RM39.90 one month, RM119.70 for 3 months, RM239.40 for 6 months and RM478.80 for 12 months.

Hope next month will be a better month for WB. The debut box is a letdown, IMO.
Yea. But I’ve read most of the blog said they’re very happy with it 😛
I have high expectations 🙂
Me too. A real disappointment to me 🙁
The packaging looks classy and beautiful. I agree with you, for a debut box, the items lack the fanfare. I have not attempted to subscribe to beauty box though the idea of receiving mystery and surprise products on a monthly basis is nice.
Packaging is alright. Hope future boxes would be better
Ya..same here~ nice packaging but a real disappointed to see this familiar brands and also man’s product.. I able to buy them myself ~~ there r nothing surprises me…
I know right. At first I’m happy to see Sothys which is worth 60+? Then I read the description at the back and it said something on shaving and I went bummer.
