Okay, gonna have to weigh in here and defend my favorite sub. I don't see this as the anti-aging box at all. November's box didn't have a single anti-aging product in it at all, dyptique parfume, lipstick, facial cleansing oil, hand cream and hair oil.
SS was also the sub where I got a full-sized deborah lippman nail polish, the jane iredale mascara and vincent longo lip pencil.
I think part of the perception problem might be that the brands SS includes are traditionally far more expensive brands that generally only an older demographic (and I use this loosely) can afford. Sisely, Dyptique Erno Lazlo are not exactly brands that I would have been able to even consider right out of college. That's not to say that I can afford them at full retail, even now (Dypique had room candles for >$95!). But I do appreciate being able to try out these brands on the cheap....because if I really do fall in love with one of these products, I will buy it. SS is my replacement for walking into Barney's and ask for a gazillion samples to get hounded by sales people. The boxes' items, brands and variety of skin, facial, and hair care and makeup feel curated....like they are included because they are effective or of good quality. That's why I like SS.... And that's why I feel better about MyGlam/Ispy than before, and also why I cancelled Lookbag.
SS is providing me a service beyond just the actual product...they are introducing me to a lot of different brands and products that I never would have even considered.... Ok, tirade over!
