TomBox (formerly Swaag Box) is a “time of the month” box that sends you your choice of brand name pads/tampons, as well as jewelry, makeup, and treats.
I reviewed TomBox back in October (as Swaag Box) and was impressed with the amount of products included, as well as the overall value. They recently contacted me about reviewing a current box, so I was totally happy to oblige.
TomBox offers a super customizable experience, from choosing your brand of pads/tampons, to your style of jewelry, skin tone, style preferences, and more.
Subscriptions are $16/month, or less with multi-month commitments. There’s also a “no flow” option for $10 if you’d rather not get pads/tampons in your box. Shipping is included in each plan. You can also choose to double your makeup & jewelry and/or add razors to your box at an additional cost. (For a limited time, you can get your first box for just $8 shipped!)
Let’s see what’s in my May 2015 TomBox!
Everything was shipped in a small square box sealed with TomBox tape. There wasn’t an info card, but I’m not sure if it was left out or if they stopped providing them since I last received a box.
Always Maxi Regular with Wings – I meant to choose “ultra-thins”, but picked these instead. Totally my fault. No biggie though, I’ll use ’em. I just like the less bulky ultra-thins better.
Cailyn Gel Eyeliner in Chocolate Mousse – A long lasting, smudge proof gel liner in dark brown. It’s safe for sensitive eyes and I’m curious to see how it works… I’ve never used a gel eyeliner before, so this might take some practice.
Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek & Lip Stain – I feel like I may have gotten this in a past Ipsy or Birchbox. I get so many blushes/lip products from beauty boxes that it’s super hard to keep track of ’em all. #subscriptionboxproblems
Silver Rose Necklace – Oooh! I really like this necklace. Silver is my preferred style of jewelry and I love the simplicity of this design. Plus, it’s a ROSE. I clearly have a soft spot for roses. 😉
Cargo Cosmetics Jet Lag Concealer – This concealer claims to “reduce dark circles and under eye puffiness after 28 days”. I haven’t tried it out yet, but it’s worth a shot. It sells for $30 on Amazon, so it must be halfway decent, right?
Sampar So Much to Dew Midnight Mask – A leave-on mask that you apply to clean skin at night, then rinse off in the morning. It claims to restore moisture levels and replenish the skin.
Brow Brush/Comb – Just a regular ol’ brow brush/comb. A handy tool to have around.
Ciga Los Angeles Shimmer Shadow – I wasn’t able to find this product online and their website no longer exists. Weird. Regardless, this is a nice, light shimmer shadow.
Coolway Glow Oil Treatment – A finishing oil that contains natural ingredients including porphyra seaweed extract and Vitamin A to add vibrancy back to dull hair.
Silver Charm Bracelet – While this is a cute enough bracelet, it’s just not my style. I do like that they included another silver piece though!
Overall, I’m really impressed with this month’s TomBox. I love how much customization goes into each one and how they go out of their way to fit your profile preferences. Although I didn’t do a complete cost breakdown, it’s clear that the value is definitely there. The concealer alone goes for $30 on Amazon, so that’s almost double the cost of the entire box. Can’t get much better than that!
If you’d like to try TomBox for yourself, right now you can get your first box for just $8 shipped! — No promo code needed, just click the link to get the deal!

I’m really impressed by this box but I’m wary of the fact that you can’t find info on the eyeshadow. Plus, I watched the expose´ about makeup and how you can buy fake name brand makeup for cheap…hope that isn’t the case here.
Love your Tombox review…personally I don’t get “Tom” part and figure maybe “Jane” or another since it has women products in it! Can’t wait to try this in the future 🙂

TOM means Time Of Month
They clearly padded this box for your review, they do NOT send out that much stuff nor stuff that nice at all, half of the items is included in their regular box. Crappy of them! I got their box last month and got 1 Maybelline lip gloss and one hard candy eye liner, and one sample lotion. I did not get your box or anything close to it. Such a rip off
I’m pretty sure I received the “double jewelry, double makeup” option. For an additional cost, you get more items in your box. The normal boxes do receive less. I didn’t get an info card with my box though, so I wasn’t 100% sure when I wrote the review.
oh and I got 1 piece of jewelry. They don’t normally come with 2 at all!
I used your link to sign up for this box, I know sometimes referral credits don’t post when they should. I. enjoyed your review.
Thank you! 😀
Curious if I should try , birch box has gotten crappy, I love love love my pissy, is tom even close?
