I would prefer sponsored boxes from companies, similar to how they did it with Vichy.
That being said, I do think this was a smart idea on BeautyBar's part. It was a nice mix of makeup and skincare, and the value was excellent; I'm sure mine met or exceeded the $80 approximate figure. If you can use a discount code, that's a benefit that could easily make up for a points-based reward system. They teased you just enough to pique your interest without giving anything away, and everything sent was the best quality. (I'm thinking of the Gogo Girlfriend deluxe boxes, which were a real crapshoot; or the ones I used to order from various catalogs when I was in my teens, which had a lot of stuff in them but they were a mix of high-end makeup and dreadful junk like bristle-shedding plastic face brushes...come to think of it, I think GGG was the next generation of that mess.)
