My thoughts:  Overall, the items in the box are high quality, boxy charm always does a great job of providing quality items.  I understand that in a subscription box, there are going to be colors and items that you may not necessarily like.  You're paying for a service of surprise, basically.  I am not in need of anything, however I am keeping the Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion.  I do use it weekly.

My thoughts:  Overall, the items in the box are high quality, boxy charm always does a great job of providing quality items.  I understand that in a subscription box, there are going to be colors and items that you may not necessarily like.  You're paying for a service of surprise, basically.  So, with that being said, I am not into the body butter or the suede matte top coat.  However, this is something I would definitely consider selling or trading.  I may use the other products, but don't have a need for them right at this moment so I may store them for a bit.
