I'm just kind of on beauty product overload, so I'm making myself cut down on subs because I have more than I can use. I have been with both Ipsy and Glossybox US since the beginning (with a few breaks) so cancelling is kind of hard! HOwever, I've been less and less happy with Ipsy and the items they send out from the same 3 or 4 mediocre brands, over and over, and I've been trying to talk myself into just cancelling...but this month and the crap with the smelly/contaminated lipgloss and the way they're handling it just sealed the deal!
I have generaly been happy with Glossybox as far as products go, but it's expensive and again, I'm just accumulating too much stuff. I am also leery of the company after some of the issues other countries have had with GB.
I really like the mix of things in PS (and FabFitFun) and I wish there were more subs like these!
Send me a scarf/accessory, a piece of jewelry, a snack, a beauty product, and a book/dvd/fitness item every month and I'll be happy!

This! Yes!
I think my issue with Ipsy was that it just didn't "wow" me...I was on the waitlist with that sub the longest and maybe I invested too much anticipation in it, but I think I practically expected gold to shoot out of the bag when I opened it!!
The products I got in GB were great- who is going to turn down a Beauty Blender? And the perfume that I got (as a sub for the Body wash) is awesome! But I felt like it was unorganized and I definitely agree with you on some of the other GB country reviews of their experience...raises some eyebrows!
So far, PopSugar and FFF are my two favorites, and I really like BB because I have (so far) always received items that are new or useful or at least interesting! I'm waitlisted for the Nina Garcia Quarterly...and waiting for my first Your Bijoux Box this month (I think YBB is going to be dangerous...)
I absolutely need to figure out how to set up a trade list; my little one bedroom NY apartment is being taken over by products!!!
We are apparently sub twins! haha! Birchbox is the one beauty sub I'm keeping at this time, for the same reasons you mentioned - I always get different things, new and useful, new brands. And the points are awesome, and it is what I feel a true beauty sampling sub should be.
I want to try Nina's box, and I've been eyeballing YBB, but haven't let myself take the plunge on either yet, because I need to be saving money and spending it on my pitiful wardrobe! I've also been scoping out Social Bliss. I need a raise!
