e.l.f. beauty bundle...on the way!

I have a lot of products from eyeslipsface.com (e.l.f. cosmetics, or elf for short), and I find that the brand is a good mix of quality and low price that you can try new things without a huge financial commitment.  As someone who does her makeup for fun rather than vanity, the value or low priced fun things to try is accentuated.  Needless to say, I like to make purchases from elf.

When you are on their website or just scouring the internet (youtube, in particular), you can see that elf cosmetics has started a subscription service called the beauty bundle.  It gets high reviews because it includes full sized products, and I love the option to pre-pay a one year (6 box) or six month (3 box) subscription (which I ended up doing because I hate people just taking money from me when I might not expect it...and I think it's in the nature of being a transactor instead of a revolver).  You can look at reviews on youtube to see what previous boxes have offered.  It looks fun.  Sure, there are things that you wouldn't typically buy, but the fun of the surprise is one of the appeals to a subscription box.  Plus, it might get you to try something new!

The thing is, I wanted to know when the boxes came out.  I know they come out every 8 weeks, but do they send all of the boxes at once?  Do they keep rolling subscriptions over an 8 week period until the next one and send out a new box?  I wanted to know what the timing of the boxes was - when is a new box released.  In particular, if I subscribe now (March 13), will I be getting a box that I have seen two months of youtube reviews on or will I get something new?

Even today I saw a youtube video POSTED TODAY of the New Year New You box from January.  I actually like the box, but the surplus of videos I have seen on the box means that there would be no surprise if I received it in the mail.  I want to time it so that I am one of the first to get a new box!  Especially if me signing up later in an 8 week cycle means that I will have seen tons of reviews showing me exactly what is in my box before i ever get mine.

Here is an image of the New Year New You bundle (although recent reviews show a couple of substitutions):

So, I took the chance and placed the order today for a new one year elf beauty bundle subscription.  I tried to look at youtube videos and see when people changed from posting about the holiday bundle and started posting about the new year new you bundle.  Shipping is supposed to take 10 days so we will see 10 days from now what I end up getting.  I really hope I timed it will and will get the next box in the line-up.  Based on the website where they show previous bundles, the New Year New You bundle is one of the previous ones.  Wish me luck!!  I will post which one I got when it arrives!



UPDATE:  on my elf account it shows that my current edition is "Naturally Beautiful Beauty" so I think the next edition is Naturally Beautiful, and that's what I am getting!  It doesn't show any shipping information, but all signs point to me getting the next edition!  So excited!!  I will post pics no matter what!

UPDATE 2:  IT ARRIVED!  Click here to see what I got!!  :)
