If there is a type of product that you are not interested in receiving, please send us an email so we can keep that on file and assist you with skipping that month’s discovery.

We have found that choosing makeup is very individual, and not everyone wears makeup. Therefore, we offer seasonal makeup discoveries that can be purchased as a one-time discovery in our beauty store.

To forecast properly for our service, we do not offer the ability to skip-a-month of your subscription.

If you purchase the one-time Discovery, you can add other items to your order and they will ship together. If you are subscribed to the 3-month, 6-month or 12-month service, we cannot combined your subscription box with a retail order from our beauty store. We understand the desire to do this, however our fulfillment and shipping procedures for our Beauty Discovery Service and Beauty Store are handled separately. We are not able to accommodate requests to combine orders. We can however combine multiple retail orders if we are notified in time before they ship.
