SPOILER ALERT!!!
Contains info about CurlBox Natural
MISS:
July 2015 CurlBox Natural vol. IX
This is a double miss for me; Firstly my CB Natural was shipped on time on the 14th and according to the tracking info it's been sitting at a Jersey City facility since the 17th. I know it's not Curlbox's fault but it's still a miss for me.
Secondly and most importantly, I found out through Instagram that this CB Natural edition is an Eden BodyWorks Coconut Shea takeover box.
Now don't get me wrong here, I LOVE Eden BodyWorks, that's why I have so much of their stuff. However, I can readily and easily get them on the ground at Target, Walmart or online at Sally's, Curlmart, Eden BodyWorks.com, etc.. Moreover, I can get all 5 of these products plus 3 more for less than the $40 CB Natural price tag during a BOGO FREE sale, smh. The only consolation I have, is that I don't already have these products in my stash (with the exception of the Leave-In Conditioner). This is primarily due to the fact that I never really saw any use for them in my regimen (except for the Mask, I've been meaning to try it). I'm sure they're great at what they do and I will give them a fair try. It's just that had I known it was gonna be an EBW takeover box, I would have skipped this one. I'm not mad because my hair likes EBW products, I'm just disappointed because cost wise, it makes no sense.
Thirdly and the reason why I couldn't "Guess The CurlBox Natural" is that included in this edition, like an expensive garnish, are three 1 oz. samples of Qhemet Biologics products, a CTDG, MTCG and BRBC. Now had the entire box been full size Qhemet products it would have been EPIC!!! At least I now have some travel size Qhemet.
