Lolabox

Closed.The website no longer loads. Jakarta beauty sample box that launched in April 2013 and sent its last box in May 2014.

What's in the box: When it was running, each box held a selection of beauty and makeup samples for subscribers to try.

Lolabox is no longer operating. It sent its final box in May 2014, and its website no longer loads. The service was based in Jakarta and launched in April 2013, which made it one of the early beauty sample subscriptions for shoppers in Indonesia. The idea was simple: each box held a selection of beauty and makeup samples, so subscribers could try products before paying for full sizes. Sample boxes were still new in the local market then, so this was an easy way to discover brands without buying blind. The service only lasted about a year, and we could not find a stated reason for the closure. Its pricing, how often boxes shipped and which brands it carried can no longer be checked, so we can't say how good its value was compared with rivals at the time. You can't subscribe to it today, and you should be careful with any page or account that uses the Lolabox name now. If you want something similar, look for a beauty sample box that is shipping in Indonesia right now and clearly lists its current terms. Today Lolabox matters mostly as part of the history of local subscription boxes.
