I was referring to the New Beauty Test Tube so I guess I should've said NBTT!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Monthly Subs:
1. Birchbox (x2) (Keeping both and probably upgrading one account to annual)

2. MyGlam (Keeping)

3. The Look Bag (Probably going to cancel if the April box is underwhelming)

4. Sindulge (Received 2 free months, so will decide after May if box is worth keeping)

5. Beauty Army (Not really impressed - too much skincare, might cancel)
6. Goodebox (Might keep unless April is a dud)

7. Eco Emi (Love - it's a keeper!)
8. Green Grab Bag (Probably a keeper)

9. Conscious Box (Giving until May then probably canceling, $19 is too much to spend for stale chips - lol)
10. Sample Society (Giving until May then might cancel - too much skincare)

11. Beauty Box 5 (I'm dumb and bought 3 mos for $30 - I hate this box, so I am definitely not renewing - they sent out near expired Wella products !)

Quarterly
1. New Beauty Test Tube (this one is getting axed!!  I have not been happy for 2 quarters)

2. Beauty Fix (Going to cancel - way too much skincare!)

Want

1. Glossybox (Wish I won an April box but alas 5 emails did not score me a box, hoping I can get in for May!)
2. Cravebox (I love the array of items!)

Former
Jewelmint ($29.99 for crappy and cheap - looking jewelry when I can get awesome jewelry at Dots, Torrid, and Hot Topic for 1/3 of that cost - no thanks!!!)

Was going to try
Blissmobox - I'm not that into food though, so I decided to pass


As you can tell, I have way too many of these things, and I want to get the beauty sample box bill down to about $75 / mo (what I feel I can easily afford without cutting into my Ulta, Sephora, and lately MAC addiction - lol).  Getting samples is nice, but I am really overloaded with skincare items, but I have found a few gems I would have otherwise never known about.  I am really into organic / natural skincare which is why I love the natural monthly beauty boxes - Goodebox was a big surprise for me, I hated it at first since the samples were all skincare except for 2 items, but after trying the products, I was beyond impressed - the products really delivered amazing results!

I subscribe to Birchbox and Sample Society. I like Sample society but I have a feeling it's going to be ALL skincare and I like that Birchbox has a mix most of the time so I might drop SS. I had MyGlam for a month between bad CS and a disappointing bag I cancelled immediately. The lovely ladies here at MUT turned me onto Little Black Bag. It's expensive and I most likely won't be able to do it very often but hubby loves that the trading has kept me busy/entertained for the past week so he says it's money well spent.

Ok, I 've decided to reduce the number of subs I have and narrowed them down to BB, Green Grab Bag, and Eco Emi.  I am glad that I am reducing my monthly sub cost to under $40!   /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[ValentineLissar]

I have two subs and I'm not going to go over that because I don't want to become an addict.  My reasoning is that I go over $20 a month, I should just go out and purchase the product I want and test it that way. 

I subscribe to: Birchbox (yearly) and MyGlam (yearly).

I really enjoy both companies' offerings even if everyone else seems to hate on MyGlam or Birchbox month by month.

I have nothing but love for MyGlam and I've been with them since the very beginning (November). I wish I went yearly back in November.

Those are the two that I have yearly as well (used my end-of-the-year bonus).

Current Subscriptions

• Birchbox (love it!)
• Sample Society (it's okay... may cancel after the next box if it's still mostly skincare)
  
• Jewelmint (it's really not worth $30 a month, so I've been skipping. it really irks me that they constantly give new members fantastic deals and give their current members nothing)

Cancelled

• Julep Maven (they have great customer service. I cancelled after the 1 cent deal, it's not worth the price for how small the nail polish is. love the idea, though!)

Wanted

• Glossybox (although $21 is pretty steep for a box full of samples, especially compared to other countries... also not a fan of the way they're handling things on their FB)

 

[Cynnelise]

My shade of Brown is a new sub for WOC. They have a promotion going on for $5 off the first month (usually 10$ a month). It's another beauty based subscription program directed more toward ethnic hair and skin with cosmetics as well. If anyone is interested in joining there is no code needed for the promotion I stated earlier but I believe it is only for this month. (May).

 

[livelifeeasy]

Damn, I must've signed up right before they started that promotion.

 

[Cynnelise]

lol ikr I wouldn't have known if I hadn't asked them on FB they probably just started it after their last boxed shipped not too long ago. The person I spoke to said that it was for Mother's Day so that's why I'm assuming it's only a one time thing.

 

[livelifeeasy]

I joined on April 5th. They weren't doing it then.

 

[Cynnelise]

Aww that sucks lol.. I must have chosen the perfect time to join then.. how do you like them so far? Are they worth keeping long term?

 

[livelifeeasy]

No clue. I haven't received my first box yet, but I'm hoping it's good. I'm really excited for it.

 

[Cynnelise]

Oh ok...keep me tuned lol

What's the New Beauty TestTube compared to the QVC version?

 

[ValentineLissar]

I actually joined in December and got in for the yearly fee when it was only $100.  I also got in on BB with the 110 extra point fee with my initiation.  But, yeah, I'm really happy with both. I'm glad that there are others out there who don't see them as bad services.

From what I have heard, the QVC version includes products they sell on QVC. This will be my first time getting both, but I did notice a LOT more makeup in the QVC TT than the regular one. They both have high value though, I think the regular version is worth 150.00 this round. Not sure about the QVC but  from looking at the products, its definitely worth the price. With the QVC you can sign up for auto delivery (you can also skip shipments) or just buy one each time it goes on sale. Next one is in August.
