I started Color Play in April. That gave me nine boxes. I liked 38 sets, which brings my cost to approximately $7.80 per set. However, with the bonus items, I haven't been that happy. The hair clips we received in May I used a few times before one of them broke. The earrings in the June box broke after one wearing. I gave away the eyeshadow because I don't use it, and I didn't even try to open the barrettes from the December box because I didn't want to end up in the ER trying to open them. I'm going to continue with Color Play for now. Thanks for doing this review. It was interesting.
Judy- those free items (in my opinion) are free because they are prob 25 cents to 1 dollar at most!! It sucks because they really do not last ugh!! Thats a fantastic value for you though!!
it really is and people always tell me "I love every set in this box!!" each time I unbox....BUT.....rarely do I see the not so banging sets being used in nailfies. For me if I always pass it over- zero value hahaha
I only began ordering sub boxes since August, so I did not actually receive a lot of them this year, or see them in person. 31 sets I think I would have purchased individually from this year's sub boxes.
Thats 11.61 a set- not a great value either. Honestly I don't know what I was expecting when I started, but I don't feel like it's there yet. So far for the first year I did 2 boxes a month and never skipped one, this year I did 1 box a month and skipped one.
Omg wow. So because I mix I will eventually use all of the sets or trade them out. If I was only getting these for personal use. I would have gotten 3 boxes.
The last few months were more my preference, but anything french tip I don't usually buy. I didn't do any math but it's probably about 40% of them I would choose to buy.
There were 14 sets that I would've definitely bought and 4 that were maybe's for me. To me the best free gifts in order were: Gift card, ring, blue pouch. The best box of the year for me was the dragon one... I loved everything except the purple set. Runner up was the fall one with one design, an orange, a brown and a teal. It was great but the only drawback to me was that while I LOVE the colors of the glitter sets, they didn't really feel like new colors. I am at the point where I won't blind purchase a sub box anymore. Even if it costs me more, I would rather wait for the box to come out then buy any sets I feel like I have to have on Ebay or from Tori Marie. Sometimes that means I'm paying more than the cost of the box... for example from the December box, I bought 2 of the glitter and one of the floral design on ebay. Since I want to buy them all from the same person so it's just one package and I don't want to bid, I want a buy it now option, I am paying more per set (About $13 I think it was). BUT I prefer that and getting exactly what I want, no sets I don't want, to getting the deal on the box and then having to sell or trade sets around all the time. Now if they do another banger like the dragon box, I would just order a full box from Ebay (like I did for that one) since that's a better deal when I love about everything. ... So I think at this point the boxes are best for people who are kind of new to CS. They know they love the product but don't have a lot of sets yet and are building a base of sets. I also get though the fun of the surprise of unboxing and the fomo that can happen for those of us that are seasoned CS'ers. Great video Stacy!!!
oh I agree!! I love Tori- she's fab for filling in bits and grabbing extra. I also think if you're new, this is the perfect way to up your stash!! Are you looking at sneak peeps ahead of time?
@@stacyssassystyles I am! I never did when I was getting the sub box but now that I am solidly waiting to see what's in it before getting any sets from it, I enjoy seeing the sneak peaks!
I skipped a few months. The beginning of the year the sets weren’t very good. Only like 1 in each set I would probably order but at the end of the year the sets got so much better for me.
I think 13-15 sets are ones I would buy if listed directly on the site. That’s not very good! I do like more than that, but wouldn’t have bought them without them being in the box. Hmmm, maybe time to cancel!?
36 out of 57 for me. I would say I have pretty broad taste, I’m not into the art sets as much. I think the boxes are a hard sell if you are particular about your color or finish.

@stacyssassystyles I know they're not of the highest quality, except for the makeup. I think they are just wasting their money with some of these.
@@JudyBronger-nq8nu I agree- wasting their money and our time!!
You're right. Value is in the eye of the beholder!

I enjoyed seeing this
It was fun to do!!
I hoarded changing tides I have like 7. loved that box.
I love seeing other peeps saying they have more then 3 of something!
@stacyssassystyles 🤣
That was fun! Turns out that not buying boxes is good for me, as I only liked 8/52 sets 😳
Well thats only 82$ per set LOLOLOL
Mother of dragon is pretty doubled. The dragon box was my second fav. I loved 3 of the sets
Oh thats really good!

It was hard to open those hair clips 🤣
All the dang free bits tried to kill me off hahahahaha

Thats crazy right?!

I think the darker months are always where I manage to like anything LOL
40% is 23ish sets- so 15.65$ per set

Agree- those darker colors- SO much better!
I skipped a few here and there. Debating if I will cancel it in the new year.
I think rather than canceling Ill just check the sneak peep and skip when I think it's a waste

It's crazy when you really break it down isn't it? You're up in the 25++ range with me and that melts my brain!!!
Nope. I kept all my little leaflets and put them in my binder with each sub box sets.
oh good idea!!!
36 out of 57 for me. I would say I have pretty broad taste, I’m not into the art sets as much. I think the boxes are a hard sell if you are particular about your color or finish.
10$ a set- thats not bad!!! I thought I had broad taste till the box LOLOLOL
If I wasn't mixing January I would be skipping it.
Im actually LOVING the Jan box!!
19 out of 57, which is why I canceled
yep 18.95$ per set- no value
