Has anyone tried Your Bijoux Box yet? I think it's one of my valentines presents and I'm super curious if anyone liked it.

I ordered last month but have not gotten my box yet. I am soooo excited for it though! 

 
I got Bijoux Box last month and love it. From the beautiful jewelry I got last month and from what I've seen that others have received in the months before their jewelry is well made and beautiful. Their CS is good too and they always get back if you have a question from 15 minutes to a day, I think it depends how busy they are or if they are in the office. But I do like the pieces I have received and am enjoying them.

I also started subscribing in Sept! I started w/ Birchbox and Ipsy. I ended up cancelling Ipsy b/c they were too similar to Birchbox and I felt I needed to choose one, and for me Birchbox was more of a home-run each month. I have heard a lot of good arguments for both, I guess it just comes down to personal preference.

I started Popsugar in December and signed up for 3 months. This was before any of those 3 for 2 coupons came out around the holidays and trust me, I was sour about that!!! Oh well. I ended up just cancelling Popsugar a few days ago but if February impresses me I might just go ahead and sign back up.

I was told before about Fabfitfun and somehow forgot about it, and now someone else has recommended it to me so I might try that one next. It's only quarterly so I feel less guilty spending the money on it... But I did see that pink rubber bracelet on a review site and thought ew! But I loved the grey scarf with pink birdies on it so maybe it balances out.

I've also tried Conscious Box-- I just got the free welcome box so it's hard to say if I'd enjoy it monthly, but I didn't think it seemed worth the cost so I cancelled after that first box. My friend gets Nature Box and I just don't think that one is for me, either.

I just joined Julep last month and got my first boxes recently (welcome box and monthly box). I really like it, but don't know if I'll stick around since as a newbie I don't have the skip option :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And I don't think I'm going to love it enough for $20 every single month.

I signed up for Cypress & 5th, but haven't purchased a box yet. It's on the expensive side for sure, and I haven't been totally in love with my "closet" enough to buy yet.

Lastly, I signed up for Dottiebox last month and got my first box last week. It's really cute, I just did the mini subscription, and I got a really nice candle, lip balm, and simple earrings. I like that it's all homemade items! I'd say the price point is pretty reasonable... It's $10/month + $3 shipping for the mini.

I'm *this close* to giving Wantable accessories a try but I keep changing my mind. All these boxes sure add up and I feel like I'm spending a fortune!

I had never heard Sparaj but after reading your post I went to the site. It looks like they are sold out through March right now but I'm going to keep my eye on that one!!

A couple others I've been wanting to try:

Seasons Box

Yuzen

Hello Makana

A Kitchen Box

Homegrown Collective Greenbox

Has anyone tried any of those? I'd love some feedback!
Find the Seasonsbox thread on MUT & then STAY AWAY from them!!!  Horrific experiences going on right now.  I've had TONS of problems with them & so have many others.

I absolutely LOVE Homegrown Collective.  They have a great Facebook page with photos of past boxes.  4 months into a year sub with them & I'm really happy.

Please' please, please stay away from Seasons box unless you want to be scammed! They will gladly take your money and absolutely give you nothing in return! No FB, no emails, no box, no replies, nothing! They have been ripping people off including yours truly for the last several months. Have been sold, bought, sold, bought again. No one has any answers. So please stay away.
 
I subscribe to 7 boxes now! 

Ipsy and Birchbox were my first ones and I can't seem to part with either of them no matter how much I think I should. 

Popsugar 

Blush Beauty Mystery Box (Got my first box at a discounted price after leaving it in my cart for about 10 minutes). I 'm still unsure about this one so I'm going to give it another month before I decided whether or not to keep it. I don't care if the value is super high what matters is if I'm going to use the products or not. 

I'm also waiting for my first Glossybox in the mail and I'm super pumped for it! 

And I just signed up for Her Fashion Box (it's an australian company and I'm already super impressed with their CS. I got a reply to my email in about an hour and they were super nice) So i'll be getting my first box this month! 

 
Yeah I too subscribe to more boxes now. It was after my terrible experience with dec popsugar, it's like I wanted to have that great experience I missed. While I didn't think jan was our of this world, I thought it was on par for popsugar. I got a juicer! High speed one for $40. Way cool, and just reordered pipcorn. Speaking of eating healthy, do a lot of you wear fitbit? I was thinking of a makeup talk popsugarmusthave fitbit group Any interest? Wish we could win lip glosses or popsugar items! That would be fun,

I use a FitBit Zip! I would love this!

Popsugar definitely made me want less beauty more lifestyle in my boxes.

This month will be my first box and I'm excited also!  And the owners of the company are really nice.  I had a concern about receiving rings in my box (I have child sized fingers) so I wrote about it in the comments section and one of them wrote me back saying I wouldn't have to worry about that.  Just the fact that one of them personally addressed a concern I had was excellent customer service in my book.  Can't wait!

One of the things I always wondered about fitbit, was the alarm thing. What is that like? Waking up to something vibrating on your wrist?! Lol

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work anymore... someone a few pages back was unable to get it to work, even on a new account.

I'm probably in the minority, but I would hate to get chocolate again. I realize it's Valentine's Day, but I'm allergic, and they don't do anything about allergies. I told myself I'd give them four months, and if in half of them there's chocolate... it just seems like they need to branch out a little. There are other things associated with Valentine's Day!

 
Mine initiated too! I just hope all of this snow we got and the add'l we are expecting doesn't hold it up!

It's a very light vibration, I'm usually one who wakes up right before my alarm goes off so I'm already partially awake when it goes off.  It's MUCH less annoying than my boyfriends banshee of an alarm on his phone.
