I really liked what was in my first box. I love how active and responsive they are on their facebook page and I really love that they throw in a bunch of little extras. I'm going to stay with them until they either do something stupid or send crappy stuff. I saw a spoiler for the upcoming box that made me happy too. Lipstick in Stompin' Grapes by 29 cosmetics and Hint of Honey lip treatment (golden glitter honey balm.) I'm thrilled to death it's not freakin' red. I'm so sick of all the red lipsticks & glosses (which I cannot wear) that all of my subs seem to want to send.

I'm currently subscribed to: Popsugar - I have a 3 month sub right now but I'm thinking about canceling if feb and march are meh. I'm spending way too much as it is. Seasonsbox - my new favorite right now! I really hope the quality stays the same as their first box Ipsy - just started for Feb 
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Julep - skipping indefinitely Squarehue - was a gift from the bf, I'm super excited about the feb colors On the fence about trying: Yuzen - it looks amazing but I recently started making my own skincare products so I don't really need more... Graze box - looks delicious but I don't know if I can justify spending so much on snacks Hammock Pack - I love their packaging but it is a little pricey for what you get

I'm currently testing out a few to decide what I want to keep:
PopSugar Dec-February
Hammock Pack January-March
SeasonsBox: January -March
Yuzen: Quarterly starting with February
Right now I'm thinking I'll definitely get rid of Hammock Pack unless February/March are amazing, I love the concept but the value just isn't there when you compare what you're paying to what you're receiving. I'm torn between PopSugar and SeasonsBox though, I've loved January/February SeasonsBox and I really like that you can preview the items. I really like that I could potentially not sign up for SeasonsBox and then if I love a preview I could just hit purchase, so I know I'll likely never miss out if there's an amazing box. I love the value in PopSugar boxes but January was kind of a miss for me so I think it will really depend on the February box. I think what gets me is that I'm afraid to cancel PopSugar and then miss something amazing, guess that's how they get you!

My first Beauty Army Box just got shipped out today so I should be getting my January box in February, haha. Yippie! But I am excited since I know what Im getting for that.

Currently subbed:
KlutchClub (got the best of box because of a code, may not keep it but I'll see after box comes this week)
Graze (supposed to get my first box this week and I'm super excited)
Love with Food (Bought the groupon for 3 months. Won't be keeping. Love Goodies much more.)
Goodies (on hold for 3 months while I check out Love with Food but I'm already thinking about unfreezing)
Ipsy (my first sub box and I don't think I'll ever drop it...so worth over $10 to me)
Tried and Canceled:
Bulu Box (products just not right for me)
Pop Sugar (Need to trim $ from my budget...will probably resub at some point)
Julep (there's just no way I'd use that much polish)
Birchbox (not impressed with items and wouldn't buy the high end items even if I loved them)
I feel like I'm forgetting something....oh well.
Other:
Stylemint - Love their Mystery Boxes so I just skip until I get an email about them.
Cravebox - Not always great but a cool inexpensive way to find new products. They've hooked me on a few items so I'll probbaly still get those from time to time if the theme fits me.
Want to try:
Hammock Pack
Seasons Box
Spicy Subscriptions (because inquiring minds want to know...haha)
I kind of stick with my brands for beauty so Ipsy is enough of exploring for me. I'm also not a super high end girl and I found Birchbox to cater more for that type. I do love the sample sizes for my gym bag and overnight trips.
I like the food ones but I'm trying to lose 10 pouinds so unless it's healthy, I can't eat it. High-calorie items go to the bf or the nephews.
I love the lifestyle boxes and I thought I'd keep Pop Sugar for all time but I needed to trim back and wanted to try a couple others so I'm skipping that one for a while. Good news is that probably means that the bozes will be amazing until I come back....Murphys Law! LOL

Currently Subbed
Starlooks Starbox - Current Favorite SquareHue - I paid February them put on hold because I need the extra funds Goodies - Second favorite Graze - Loving it but will make a decision whether to keep after the 5th week Yuzen - It's move to quarterly was a blessing in disguise because I'm able to keep it. Canceled Birchbox - Was with them for over a year, received nothing but good boxes and good customer service, but decided to try other subs ipsy - Love them but wanted to try other subs Glossybox - Last month is January. Great products but I've had so many problems with customer service it's no longer worth it Bulu Box- Products did not appeal to me Klutchclub - Liked them but wasn't enough for me to stay PopSugar Must Have - Each month was a crapshoot and they're way too expensive to be a hit or miss Hammock Pack - Packing was cute and good products but the cost/value ratio wasn't great. Knoshbox - Discovered great foods but too expensive. Love With Food - I like that they donated meals but that's not enough for me to stay Nail Art Society - Liked SquareHue better Hoping to Try Seasons Box Other LittleBlackBag - Haven't opened a bag in months Cravebox - When I'm in the mood for a little Russian roulette I buy one.

I'm with you about Yuzen; becoming quarterly works much better for my pocketbook. Love them! Just received my Graze box. I loved the presentation especially the personalized note. But I may cancel after 5 weeks. Glad I tried it and it didn't break the bank. Cravebox is hit or miss in my opinion. I like that there's an option to buy a particular box or not. Popsugar; like quality, but price is too expensive for not really knowing what you're getting. Got December's box; wasn't excited. Trying out Love with Food. Missed out on a coupon code though.

I am subscribed to Birchbox, Glossybox, Ipsy and PopSugar. I have tried BB5 and Sample Society, but cancelled.
Seems no matter what people will find something to complain about with these subscription services. I dont know if its possible to have one where every month is amazing and perfect. Any body have one where they are completely 100% happy ?

I've never seen a bad review on Yuzen, they did just switch to quarterly though, $26/every 3 months. I bought myself the February box for Valentine's Day

They might replace Glossybox for me
