Juniper February Review
My second Juniper box arrived today!!! Ok truth time- my preferences were changed so this is what my box looks like as opposed to the box with all options I got the first time with liners and pads aka stuff I don't use. Changing what I wanted was SUPER easy and FYI I could have gotten it changed for my first box but I wanted to show all the options the first time around for my readers. Check out my first box here.
Type: T.O.M. Box
Cost: $28/month
What is it?: This company which started up in 2013 delivers a deluxe box complete with your choice of tampons (20+), pads, pantyliners plus treats! Juniper begins each subscription registration by choosing from the 6 brands of tampons they offer (which you get a variety of absorbency), then you choose whether you would like backup protection (pads/pantyliners), and if you would like some Midol thrown in! You choose the date you would like to receive the box and then the tampons box has a phonenumber on it to text so they can track your monthly guest so your box will always be on time and continue customizing your box. Each box comes with a bevy of treats including honey sticks, chocolate, tea, snacks, etc! You get a starter box to begin and after that you work with Juniper to customize based on your needs. GET A FREE BOX: When registering, write in my blog: Broke Beauty Blogger: is how you heard of Juniper and you will receive a FREE box!
Ahh- this is beyond adorable. I would have squealed if I was a kind of girl who squeals (I'll clarify that I am not). This was NOT on the info card as in a little extra and I adore it! I mean it is hand-written which I give an A+ for, it looks like matches in this matchbook, there is a heart cut-out, and boom-mini emery boards to slip into my purse. I love this so much!
Holy crap-o-la! This is a giant box this month!!
Unboxed! Again, I love the stamped on logo!
The info card! I really love the info part of it- the pictures are amazing. Drool-worthy if you will. I love that they did a red/V-day theme for this month. It just all looks so lovely- right?! Lynn's letter (the CEO)even says she wanted it to be a "faux-holiday" and wishes us all a happy (and possibly belated) Valentine's Day. Love it.
Ok- I have no idea how it happened but I didn't take a pic of the box contents when first opened and of course I've gotten into the products already... I'm terrible sometimes- so a play-by-play of each product will have to do!

| Mini emery boards! |
See? 6-pack of emery boards! Ok so this was a complete extra!! I'm not sure if I should price it but based on similar products I found online (which are NOT as cute btw) this would be about $1.72.
Here it is! My giant bag of treats. I feel so spoiled right now!! I mean seriously I can see through to the amazingness and let's not pretend I hadn't peeked on their FB and twitter already. And the bag is pink. Theme accomplished.
Marich Chocolate Strawberries: This was the first thing I saw in the bag and I want them soo bad!! I am dieting hardcore so I have to spread out the treats but I am stoked to try these... I think they shall be devoured tomorrow. For those who don't want to squint to read the shiny bag let the words: natural, dark chocolate, and white chocolate settle into your mind. They look amazing- I'm drooling. Price: $2.50
Seattle Chocolates' Pike Place Espresso Bar. This is a Dark Choco truffle bar with an espresso infusion- and yes it says all natural too. I am not a coffee drinker but I will try ANY kind of chocolate! Plus- I KNOW my bf will love this and giving him treats is a treat for me too. Oh yeah, the packing is super cute too.
Price: $3.00
Clarine's Florentines. Get in my belly!!! Seriously, I want this- it looks delicate and sweet but with bittersweet chocolate so not too sweet. I want it- oh wait I have it already. This is a super win in my book!
Price: $2.00
Harvey & Sons' Teas in Tilleul, Paris, and Pomegrante Oolong. I love Harvey & Sons' Teas- they are always amazing. I love that they included these in this month's box- and the packaging is so pretty- I feel like it fits into the V-day theme too. I love that they send out a variety too not just three of the same teas.
Price: $0.66
Anna's Honeys' Honey Sticks in Strawberry, Raspberry, and Sour Cherry. The fact that Juniper sends out Honey Sticks is one of my fav things about this box. Honey Sticks are just such an amazing pick-me-up and the flavors this month go great with V-day! Price: $0.68
Little i Peppermints. It was hard to pick my fav thing in this box but I LOVE this- it could top the treats and matchbook. One- I ALWAYS carry mini tins of mints in my purse. Two- every girl should have a mirror in her purse! Win win- the tin is adorable and it has a mirror in it!! Plus- the mirror and mints are made so the mirror doesn't become grimy with mint "dust." Little i thought of everything! Price: $3.50
I don't need to unbox my protection supplies do I? I just asked for tampons but you can gets liners, pads, and Midol too! I may opt for Midol again- sounds crazy but I don't use it for PMS but for headaches when I get them- nothing works as well as Midol. Anyway-the price depends on what you ask for- I'm pricing this as IF I got all the products just to give you a better idea as well as what I got. Price: $7.50
Have I said how amazing Lynn the CEO and the company Juniper is with their customers? In my January review I RAVED about the cherry vanilla almond package I got- so delish although expensive! I was going to splurge on them but Juniper contacted me saying to save my money! Why? Because they are the nicest company ever! Proof?
What's that you see?? Another bag of these beauties- what about several bags? That's right multiple bags of these puppies- didn't want to brag but how could I not!?!? I swear I wasn't trying to beg for more in my Jan review they just give their customers what they want! These were immediately opened and eaten. The strawberries will wait until tomorrow!
Verdict: My box price was a bit confusing- without "extras" it is around $22 and the price skyrockets with my special treats included! This price is very comparable with how much the box costs especially since you are getting things you wouldn't curate on your own! Example: would you order three bags each of 100 honey sticks from Anna's Honeys just so you could get one of each flavor? No. I feel so spoiled by this box AND happy! That is the most important part! I recently decided to quit any boxes I wasn't happy about- yes, a box could have good stuff or expensive stuff but who cares if I don't like it! This box could have been valued at $1 for all I care since I got amazing stuff I liked AND I am prepared for my next TOM- no awkward checkout at the supermarket for me!
I love this box- try it for yourself for free by mentioning you heard the box from me "Broke Beauty Blogger" when you sign up! And enjoy!!!!

I wish I could get this box *without* Tampons and with pads instead. :/ But I guess the majority of women use tampons...
ReplyDeleteThat box looks really fun, though! If they did have an alternative, I'd probably get it! Those Marich look so goood...
Hi there Manah - we can do just pads. Email us and we'll get you started! :)
ReplyDeleteOoops, sorry, email is bff@getjuniper.com
DeleteHi, Laura! This box looks fantastic! I decided to sign up with you as my referral to give it a try. Thanks so much to both you and Juniper for giving us blog readers a chance to try out the first box for free. I won't be getting my box until April since they have already sold out of the March box, but I will be anxiously waiting to see what's in store. Really love the idea of not having to go out and shop for these supplies too!
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I have been dying to try this!!! Does the code still work for a first free box? My sister would just die if it was lol. Subscription boxes is our new obsessions!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately they stopped their promotional program just last week!! No more free boxes, at least for the time being. I love this box though and totally recommend at least giving it a try.
DeleteI absolutely love Juniper! When I got my February box, I took the mints out and replaced them with my midol because it was a cute place to put them without carrying around a huge pill bottle. The chocolates are heavenly and I even ordered a case from the Marich website for my friend's birthday since she loved the chocolates as well. Sadly I had to cancel because I had to save up money for this summer.
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea!! I should do that too since mine is empty and I have an altoids mini tin anyway for mints. I understand the savings money part- hopefully Juniper will see you again in Sept!
