About Twinkle Apothecary

New! Or, old?

Snag something special every month with an exclusive off-the-menu Twinkle treat. It can be anything - skincare, body care, hair care, or makeup - either a retired product from years past or something completely new and different! 

This monthly subscription box (or envelope!) will feature one full size product and 1-2 samples for a retail value of $25 or more. I'll reveal what's coming a month in advance so you can choose to keep, pause, or cancel your subscription. 

How it works 

Order by the 14th at 12pm (US central time) and your order will ship on the 15th (or next business day) of every month. Ordering after noon on the 14th of each month will put you on the list for the next month's shipment. The next month's product will be revealed after noon on the 14th of each month. Check this page after noon on the 14th to see what's in the next month's box!

There's no option to buy these products after they ship because I only make enough for the people who order by the 14th at noon. So scroll down to see what's in the August box and get on the list ASAP!

Please scroll down to learn more about how subscriptions work, under the FAQs section of this product page. (Just past the customer reviews section.) Thank you for subscribing responsibly!

Always a fun treat!

I love getting Off-the-menu monthly boxes! It always proves to be a great treat, chosen and packaged with care. My favorites have been the bug spray (which I'm happy to see is now a permanent fixture!), scalp scrub, salt soak, and more recently the matcha butter. The matcha butter is absolutely a staple of my nightly skin-care routine now and I love that it's going to last me several months. So although it's a monthly box, the products generally last past the first month and continue to be enjoyed!

Awesome! I'm so glad to know you're loving everything as much as I love coming up with new goodies every month! Thanks so much for the review!

Rejuvenating Matcha Butter

I have been using this decadent butter during my nightly routine, after cleansing and face oil. It glides on silky smooth and presents a delightful warming sensation, smelling of earth and comfort. My skin has never been happier!

It makes me so happy to hear that your skin is happy! :) Thanks for the review!

Buy the Dope Queen...

... and be a dope queen! I have purchased every Dope Queen product offered, and I have loved them all - the balm, the butter, the roll on. The scent is amazingly comforting and calming, and of course the product itself is moisturizing and soothing. The balm being in a tube adds the element of massage to the experience, so I cannot wait for mid-May. Get the Dope Queen balm (or any future Dope Queen product Stefanie blesses us with).

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave these awesome reviews, it really means a lot to me. I'm looking forward to making the Dope Queen balm for you!

Be Happy body oil

I treated myself to the April 2024 Be Happy body oil, and the product lives up to its name. I have used (and loved!) Twinkle's oil for years for daily facial cleansing and moisturizing, so to now have a scented oil feels extra fancy. I use this oil for cuticles and the backs of my hands and the aromatherapy benefits. It truly is such a happy scent.

I'm so glad you're enjoying it, and that it lives up to its name! Thanks for leaving a review!

Subscriptions

Boxes: The Surprise Scent Monthly and Off the Menu subscriptions work the same way. To sign up, place your order by the 14th of each month by 12 pm US central time. The boxes (or envelopes) will ship on the 15th, or next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday.

Ordering after the 14th at noon puts you on the list for the next month's box.

Example: To sign up for a January Subscription box, you can order anytime between December 14th at 12:00 pm - January 14th at 11:59 am.

Ordering on January 14th at 12:00 pm or after will sign you up for the February box.

What's in the next box: The next month's Off the Menu item and a hint for the upcoming Surprise Scent will be revealed on the respective product pages after the 14th at noon each month. Be sure to check the product pages on the afternoon of the 14th to see what's in the next month's box, especially if you are not subscribed to my email list or push notifications!

You will always be charged for the next month's box each month on the same day (and exact time) that you placed your original order. If you would like to cancel or skip a month, you'll need to do so before your charge date. If you are not able to cancel before you're charged, simply email me to be refunded any time before I make the products on the afternoon of the 14th.

If you sign up for multiple subscription boxes (fun!) I will ship them all together to you on the 15th and refund any excess shipping fees.

For regular subscribe-and-save recurring product orders: your item will ship within 1-5 business days from the time you place your order.

Split-shipment policy: If you are ordering other, non-subscription items at the same time as your subscription box (Off the Menu, Surprise Scent, Collect Them All Club,) and you would like to receive your non-subscription items before the 15th, please place a separate order. I can only double-ship your order if the other items in your order qualify for free shipping on their own. If you've ordered enough to qualify for free shipping but want me to hold the other items to ship at the same time as your subscription products, great! Feel free to leave a note with your order and let me know!

All subscriptions are self-service.

How to cancel: You may cancel your order any time before your next charge date by logging into your account and clicking on the "My Subscriptions" button. If you are unable to cancel before you're charged, please email me to be refunded ASAP, before I make and ship your product. I cannot refund products that have already been made and/or shipped.

How to edit: To cancel, pause, switch items, add additional products, notes, or coupons to your subscription orders and to edit your subscription shipping address, simply log into your account and click on the "My Subscriptions" button. The process for editing your recurring order in the portal is so easy! If you are unable to access your account for any reason, please email me and I'm happy to help.

If you move: you are responsible for updating your shipping address before your next charge date. Orders shipped to the wrong address will not be refunded or replaced. I am happy to help you update your address, but you will need to email me before your order ships!

PLEASE NOTE: Updating your subscription order address is a SEPARATE ACTION from updating the default address on your Twinkle customer account. Update both to make sure you get your order. The subscription order address can be edited in the subscription portal (accessed by clicking on the "my subscriptions" button.)
