Girfriend – The Parcel – New Subscription Box

I got an email last night advising the new Girlfriend The Parcel (similar to the Marie Claire) one has been released and is now available to buy.

Anyone going to try it out? Its $19.95 6 times per year or $107 for an annual subscription.

    Girlfriend Magazine has been releasing snippets of its contents lately and here’s the products that will be in its beauty box so far…..

    1. Australis Cray For Colour Eyeshadow Stick (shades vary)

    2. BYS Falsies and in the box is a sample size can of Le Tan Wash OFF

    3. Nicole by OPI Nailpolish (shades vary)

    4. Maybelline Colour Whisper Lipstick (looks like a light pink shade)

    5. Designer Brands Cosmetics Mascara

    The products are definitely over the $20 value and there’s no annoying sample sachets (well so far). Plus most are full size products but I am not sure if I will get a good use on all these products if the shades don’t suit me!

    I don’t know if Girlfriends audience will really be loyal subscribers- esp if they have to get their Mums to pay for it… Bit young for me…

    here’s the link if anyone wants to see it;

    I wonder if they will show an unveiling of the products going in the box like the Marie Claire one did? I actually quite liked knowing what I was getting although I know other didn’t. I’m considering trying this one but not sure yet. Might prefer the Summer Marie Claire instead!

    I’m subbed to bella box and lust have it at the moment so I think subbing to another box would be a bit excessive. And as lot of beauties have pointed out it will likely be targeted toward those 18 and under, so I’m not sure how much use I would get out of it. $20 is also kind of pricey for GF magazine though :/

    $20 is still pricey I think! I was watching eleventh gorgeous on youtube the other day and in USA Walmart and target have subscription boxes. I wish our target and maybe priceline would come on board and start one.

    A priceline box would be amazing! :O

    I don’t really think a Girlfriend beauty box is going to be targeted to me as I’m early 30’s. Probably worth checking out if you’re a teen to early twenties though. I do read Marie Claire and was SO tempted to order ‘The Parcel’ but I decided to wait and see what the first one was like. I’m glad I did. The only decent things in there were the OPI nail polish and Revlon lip gloss/stain, both in random colours. The rest was just small samples that didn’t appeal. To be honest, I thought it was a rip off. I expected much more 🙁

    I had no issues with mine either! I do hope there is actually less sneak peeks, it was very underwhelming to already know what was going to be in the box.
