I've done some more research on this. It looks like this is a continuance of the Clarins box that has been available in France since January 2015, which I am envious of. I looked through some French blogs and unboxing videos to see what some past boxes had. They were nice.

The US site now has two boxes - the Earth Box and the Booster Box. As far as I can tell, the Earth Box was the first one to be released in the US. I ordered the Earth Box - I will have it this Friday.
Pros
- Clarins promises everything is organized into beauty routines, not just random samples that may not go together
- Sometimes contained goodies from other brands besides Clarins as well [nail polish, hair oil, tea]
- Well curated
- No need to subscribe or wait for shipping cycle - just buy when you want
- Comes with extra free samples of one's choice
Cons
- Sizes are deluxe travel - 0.5 to 1.7 oz in general.
- Price is a little high
- Sometimes repeat products
Will continue to investigate. Maybe this will be the box of my dreams. I am tired of playing the field and want to be happily married to one beauty box only. :luv:
