The Value of Drunk Elephant The Trunk 8.0 Math is Not Mathing

Drunk Elephant The Trunk 8.0 has dropped! What is the The Trunk 8.0? Well, it’s the 8th (can you believe we’ve had eight of these?) variation of Drunk Elephant’s traditional mega skincare gif set for Holiday 2024. I gotta admit my favorite edition of the Trunk was 3.0 because it all came packaged in a cute Mini Fridge plus back then (2021) it was only $450 now it’s a whooping $595. Not to mention it was $460 last year and went up $135 this year. Dude…! That price keeps creeping up doesn’t it? Speaking of mini fridges..! Last year, Tula dropped the Best Sellers 10-Piece Limited-Edition Vault with a mini fridge! I wonder if they’ll do one again?

But I digress, back to the Trunk! I’d normally recommend purchasing this around the Sephora Holiday Savings Event BUT even if you have a 20% Rouge Discount it can be pretty expensive. But the other thing is, it actually doesn’t sell out as fast as it once did! I remember when this would disappear from shelves fast but now it sort of sticks around and at this price, even on sale, it’ll probably be there for a while! Well, unless the ten year old grab it up!

What are the contents of the Drunk Elephant The Trunk 8.0? Good question! It has 10 full-size Drunk Elephant favs plus two deluxe samples and four smaller packet samples.

Drunk Elephant The Trunk 8.0 comes with the following items:

  • Full Size Protini Polypeptide Cream (1.69 oz)
  • Full Size C-Firma Fresh Day Serum (0.94 oz)
  • Full Size T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum (1.0 oz)
  • Full Size B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum (1.69 oz)
  • Full Size A-Passioni Retinol Cream (1.0 oz)
  • Full Size D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops (1.0 oz)
  • Full Size B-Goldi Bright Drops (1.0 oz)
  • Full Size Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser (5.0 oz)
  • Full Size T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial (1.69 oz)
  • DLX Sample Bora Barrier Repair Cream (0.16 oz)
  • DLX Sample Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser (0.46 oz)
  • Packette Lala Retro Whipped Cream (0.5 oz)
  • Packette Ceramighty AF Eye Balm (0.5 oz)
  • Packette Bouncy Brightfacial (0.5 oz)
  • Packette Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil (0.5 oz)

What’s the value of the Drunk Elephant The Trunk 8.0? Another good question! Without counting the deluxe sizes and smaller sample packets you’re looking at $602 worth of products which isn’t a terribly great value overall. I mean, unless you’re counting the suitcase and really, I can just go and buy a cuter suitcase at TJ’s or Marshall’s. I’d rather just buy these items individually as I can pick and choose the ones I want as I know I’ll never use the bronzing or highlighting drops anyway! The whole point of a Holiday Gift Set is to save money and this isn’t saving you any money!

The oddly expensive Drunk Elephant The Trunk 8.0 is available now. Maybe the ten year olds want it but this girl will be spending her money elsewhere!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse. If you’re that person feel free to reach out and leave a comment or follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Bloglovin‘.

    Yes thank you I thought it was just me. Math not adding up at all. For the value each item would be 80.00 dollars. And I so was waiting to get this

      It’s dumb? Before at least it has a good value but now it’s just like you’re paying for the extras and the suitcase!
