What companies do you subscribe to?

[nicepenguins]

Yeah it might be cute for $10/month. I could get creative with a twistband from birchbox instead of the lace haha

 

[pengutango]

Yeah, maybe if it were like $10/month, though I feel like you can get all that stuff yourself for less than that even. :/

Im a newbie! To makeup talk and subs. *sigh* im already addicted *ipsy--got this because my mom and cousin got the December bag with makeup. Got my first one in January but was only blah with it. I'll definitely give it a couple months. *beauty army--supposed to get my first one next week. Like that you can choose samples and the skip option *out of the box--bought this one friday and got my tracking info the same day. Yay for quick turnaround! Im curious about so many of the other ones ive got a list started. Will probably try them one at a time so my hubby doesn't flip over money. Lol.

 

[smiletorismile]

I currently have:

Glossybox: I've been getting this for 2 months and I'm really happy with this so far! Definatly my fave out of the two sub boxes I've revieced so far.

Sample Society: I only got this one month, that I shared with my mom, but she loved it so much she's getting her own! I'll give this one a couple months, but honestly it isn't super exciting. I do like that I have a use for all the products though, unlike bright red lipstick.

Beauty Box 5: I haven't gotten a box yet, but I'm going to be sharing this one with my mom as well. Super excited!

Beauty Army: I'll be getting this box within 10 days! Yay! I got to pick 3 and my mom got to pick 3 so this worked out great!

Birchbox: Currently on the waitlist, but I will get it as soon as I'm off. Excited!

Re-update on my list:

Glossybox

Beauty Army

Beauty Box 5

Sample Society

Julep Maven

Waitlist:

Birchbox

Ipsy/Glambag

I love Glossybox and Beauty Army. Ive gotten my first box from both companies and enjoy it very much. Beauty Box 5 my first will be this month and Sample Society and Julep first box with my next month.

With the Birchbox and Ipsy bags/boxes Ive seen Im going to be honest and Im not impressed. I guess its not a bad thing Im waitlisted.

[Soxi]

I am new to subscription beauty boxes, but now that I've started I can't stop myself!

Currently trying out:

Glossybox- I got the man repeller box, it was ok. Clearly they were in over their heads and I wouldn't want to be the person who was responsible for the multiple boxes going out. I got 4, all identical. :/ I'm not thrilled with the Feburary spoilers, but I'll give them a few months and see what I think. 

Julep Maven- I've gotten the intro box, January's Classic with a twist box, and did the golden clutch surprise box. I think the polish is pretty, but I don't like working with it, I do love the oxyzen nail treatment! I'll probably cancel. 

Ipsy- I've only gotten January's bag. For $10 a month, seems like a great value. I'm planning on keeping this one. 

Beautybox5- haven't received my first box yet

Sample Society- My first box will come in March. I'm excited to try this one. 

I'm wait listed for Birchbox, I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Some unboxings look ok, and then others are eh. 

Thats it for now, I'm planning on trying these for a bit, then picking 2 or 3 to keep subscribing to. 

 

[Dalylah]

Updating for Feb:

Birchbox

Starlooks

Square Hue

Graze

Goodies

Glossybox

Yippee, me too! My boyfriend and I both signed up for Goodies since we don't think we'll have enough to share, lol. Can't wait for the first shipment!

 

[laelene]

I've limited myself to three:

Yuzen - I've yet to come across a box that blew me away time after time like Yuzen has. When it comes to bringing a zenful luxury experience at a fraction of the price, they've got it down pat. Plus, I really appreciate getting eco-conscious products. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED  With their new quarterly structure, this should be plenty affordable since it's just $100 for the year.

Blissmobox - I really like their structure of offering 3 themes to choose from each month (or the option of skipping if you don't like any). That way you at least get a general idea of what kinds of things to expect and you can vary from health/beauty to food to men's or even pet products depending on what you need.

Goodies - Just got my invitation recently and signed up, so we'll see how it goes! I'm hoping this will get me eating better snacks and save me from grabbing everything in the snack aisles in stores.

Ones I might want to try:

Hammock Pack

Julep

Conscious Box

Eco-Emi

Any recommendations for great non-makeup or fashion boxes?  I'm not into makeup or jewelry, but I love skincare, personal health, food, etc.  Preferably eco-friendly stuff...

You might be interested in SeasonsBox. It's a lifestyle box, really well done, eco-friendly, and I've been quite impressed with them. I reviewed the January box on my site and just loved it.

Oh, Yuzen. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> They're really THAT good!!! I've been with them since the beginning and while there are ones I'd die for vs. others that are just awesome, none have disappointed. Each box's value has been well over twice the price (almost three times if you count that shipping costs like $7 so technically the box part you're paying for is about $19). Plus they've got excellent customer service... what more could you want?

Thanks! They're definitely intriguing but wow, they're expensive! I've been spoiled by Yuzen, which offers more products per box at a much lower price point.  I guess part of it is also that Yuzen's products feel so much more high end than a lot of the items in other boxes.  I'll definitely keep SeasonsBox in mind if I want to splurge sometime... and I entered the giveaway so hopefully I win it!! :-D

Any reasons so many have cancelled 28 day hug?

From what I saw in the discussion of it, it seemed there weren't service problems or anything, but people just weren't feeling like it was really worth the money. I didn't sub myself, so I can't say for sure. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Update!

Current Subscriptions

• Birchbox - I resubscribed a few months ago. It seems like the samples have gotten smaller, but it's worth it for the points.
• Graze - I just subscribed. I'll probably cancel after my five weeks are up.

Cancelled/Skipping

• Little Black Bag - The trading experience was interesting, but kind of stressful. I can't justify $50+ a month for jewelry and a bag
• Stylemint - I got a bunch of tops in their sale and I love them! They're really soft and comfortable. Still sad that I missed the mystery box. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
• Jewelmint
  

• Julep Maven
• Sample Society - A good box for people interested in skincare, but I'm not someone who wants skincare samples every month.
  

Waitlisted

• Goodies.co

I'd Like to Try One Day Maybe

• Ipsy
• Golden Tote (Cool idea, but really expensive.)
  
• Fancy Box (See above.)
• Seasons Box (^^^)
• Indiespensable

I won a free (January, I think?) Conscious Box and I really liked it. The box was packed with different kinds of food that I've never tried. The Hail Merry macaroons and the Qbel minty minty crispy wafers were SO GOOD. If I had more disposable income, I would subscribe.

It's cute- I canceled since I was trying all the time of the month boxes to review. It's good if you don't want a protection box. It's a pretty cheap little treat. I liked two of the other ones with tampons included though which makes it a nice package deal (Juniper & My Cotton Bunny)

 

[StellaSunshine]

Currently subscribed to:

• Birchbox (2 accts, one is a yearly subscription, one is month to month)
• Ipsy (yearly subscription)
• Popsugar
• Eco-Emi
• Yuzen (just subscribed for a year.  Woo Hoo!)

Getting the axe after March (b/c March is my Bday month and I want presents! 

)

• Popsugar (last few boxes have been "meh" and for $35 I wanna be wowed)
• Eco-emi (loved it for so long and beautifully packaged but quality seems to be going downhill recently so I'll see how Feb and March are)
• Birchbox 1 acct (still on the fence about dropping an acct but I keep getting duplicate boxes on my accts. arrgghhh!)

Subscriptions I've cancelled in the past 5 months:

• Blissmobox (didn't feel the value was there)
• Conscious box (once they split off and started vegan, gluten-free, etc specific boxes I felt the quantity and quality in my regular box suffered)
• Sample Society (liked but I have so much skin care to use up.  Might resubscribe in the future)
• Glossybox (loved January's box but in general have had expired products, dried up products, weird colors!)

So after March I will be at a reasonable sub load:

• Birchbox x 1 (yearly sub)
• Ipsy (yearly sub)
• Yuzen (yearly sub)

Yay!  No monthly payments taken out of my acct and I can use up a bunch of samples!
