Currently subscribed to julep and starlooks. Used to be subscribed to birchbox (my gateway subsctiption). This might not be a good thread for me to be subscribed to yet here I am lol

I just put  myself on the waitlist for it!  I think the fact that it comes in the bags won me over. I love bags of any kind! 

 

[tanyamib]

March list:

Popsugar Must Have (in 6-month sub)

Seasonsbox (in 12-month sub)

Glossybox (last box)

Fabfitfun (try for first box)

goodies.co (last box)

OK, here's my sub story:

I was a NBTT subscriber for years. That was my first and only sub since around 2008/7 when it started.

Yeah that long. It really was/is the original beauty sub.

Then last fall (about 6 months ago) I found myself googling info re: random beauty products and MUT kept coming up in the searches.

I devoured all the message boards.and although I didn't post much at the time,

you all enabled me to be the sub-aholic that I currently am.

(so thank you all!)

Currently I am subbed to.

1. NBTT- Love this sub. We have a long history. It has recently changed from quarterly to every other month btw. So "yay" more stuff more often.

2. Glossybox - Love the products. they need to iron out CS kinks.

3 Ipsy -Fab value. Super fun. A $10 treat.This sub is like candy.

4 Birchbox x 2 - it's all about the points. and the few cool brands it's introduced me to. Will drop one sub though.

5 Sample Society- My latest love. They are really upping their game. This is the sub to watch!

6. PopSugar- I will probably cancel. I was going to but they redeemed themselves this month. Plus I like lifestyle stuff.

7 Goodies-  This will be my first month, may cancel very soon, not really into food subs

After reading all your posts I think I may have to sign up for Yuzen.

It's looks great.

Subs I am watching:

FancyBox (all of their boxes)

Gourmet Spotting (this looks like an awesome food sub. High end and nicely curated)

Anyone hear of anything else that looks new and interesting?

 

[StefanieH30]

Current. Popsugar: I like it Pink fancy: probably going to cancel Coco fancy: waiting for first box Reg fancy: waiting for first box Mystery tackle: I like it Ipsy: great value Julep: I've received at least 6 months of box free, so can't complain. Canceled Birch box: small samples Beauty army: was ok Hammock pack: I hated my box and in no way saw the value. Sample society: was ok Other: Influenster: I have liked the two boxes I received, plus they're free.

I feel like I went just a tad overboard..

 lol...

Conscious Box - $20 (approx) per month; I used that 50% promo code they had and got 3 months. I should receive it next week.

Ditsies - $12 per month; You get one pair of sexy panties a month. I am waiting for my 1st pair. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Graze - $5 per box; It took me forever to finally get a code! I just got my first box and am already in love

Love with Food -  $12 per month; I got the 6 month subscription via Fab.com for around $31 with fab credit applied! I just got my first box and it was awesome.

Julep Maven - $20 per month; I just subscribed to this last night. I got the intro box for $0.01. Then I added the Spring Mystery Box on there.. I couldn't resist.

PopSugar Must Have - $35 (approx) per month; I just got my first box and am hoping April's box will be better. If not, I will be cancelling.

The Jungle Stand - $10 per month; I am waiting for March's box, but am definitely looking forward to this.

Le Parcel - $18.50 (approx with shipping) per month; I cancelled this because I had several (BIG) issues with them. Additionally, the "extra" items that were included were nothing to write home about. I blogged about it if anyone's curious.

Chic Shave - $9 per month; There were 3 choices for razors and I chose the one which resembled the Venus razor. For me at least, I don't shave enough to make this worth it which is why I ended up cancelling this subscription. You get 2 new cartridges per month.

I sorted through so many reviews and blogs before deciding which subscriptions to commit to.

Monthly I get boxes from:

1. Beauty Army ($12)
2. Birchbox ($10)
3. Julep ($19.99)
4. MyGlam ($10)

Monthly subscriptions that I can skip and don't use often.

1. JustFab ($39.95 monthly, skipable)*
2. Shoe Dazzle ($39.95 monthly, skipable)*
3. Sole Society ($49.95 monthly, skipable)*

I just subscribed to Beauty Bar Sample Society ($15) and am waiting for my first box to be shipped on March 5, 2012.

I also get New Beauty's Test Tube ($38.80 quarterly) and now New Beauty's Test Tube at QVC ($50 quarterly).

I've canceled my subscriptions with GoGoGirlfriend ($12.95 monthly) and with Eco-Emi ($15 monthly includes shipping). I canceled GGG because I couldn't get over the Dollar Store feel from my first and last box. I had Eco-Emi for four months, I canceled in October (third month) but ended up with a box in November because I canceled after payment was made. I HATED Eco-Emi's billing cycle - what ever day you sign up that's the day you pay which means for me I was paying up to eight weeks before getting my box. I can't recommend either one of these companies and will say to those looking to subscribe to avoid these two companies. 

I've been a member of Shoe Dazzle since March 2009, the month is launched. It was the FIRST subscription service I ever heard of much less subscribed to. I don't order monthly and skip alot because I no longer wear heels due to foot injury. They now offer beauty products, hair products, jewelry and handbags. I've been a member of Sole Society since it started and just got a subscription with Just Fab last month. I've just placed my first order with Just Fab tonight and have only ordered from Sole Society once (it's $10 more than Just Fab and Shoe Dazzle and the shoes are basically the same style).

Out of the beauty ones I love Birchbox the most. I'm entering my 9th month with them (joined in May, first box in June 2011) and come May I'll be switching to a yearly subscription. I love Birchbox, they have some misses but also some fantastic items they send out.

I've only received one Beauty Army since it launched January 2012 and February will be my 2nd month with them and 3rd with MyGlam. I'm still not sure if I'll keep either one past three months yet but most likely I will.

I signed up for Julep in November, got a December box but skipped January. I'm waiting for my February box. I'm still on the fence with this company due to the price. It is the most expensive of my monthly subscriptions and the size of each polish is comparable to a mini-polish from Zoya.

I had Justfab's subscription a year or two ago and I order a purse... I ended up cancelling because I did not like the quality of the purse and saw the quality of my friend's shoes from them (she's an avid justfab subscriber) and they weren't much better. I recently saw some of their newer purses and the quality seems sooooo much better. I ended up getting the Hepburn bag in black.

I've been trying a lot lately, much to my husbands dismay haha Tried but cancelled Pop Sugar Must Haves- had a 3 month sub Dec-Feb, it was good but too much of a gamble for the price Hammock Pack- 3 month sub Jan-March, was not pleased with January or February, even if March is amazing I'm not resubbing KlutchClub Best of Valentines Box- Got this for $8, it was nice for the price but I cancelled immediately Starlooks- I won a free February box, it was really nice but I have so much makeup right now that I'll need to wait if I decide to sub to this Little Black Bag- I go through phases with LBB, When I signed up I spent way too much and then took a break for a few months, recently I opened 4 bags in like 4 weeks, needless to say I need no more bags, jewelry etc so we are parting ways again. This an addictive and time consuming service so I need to step away Subs I'm keeping or just started SeasonsBox-My 3 month sub ends in March, asking for another 3 or 6 month sub for my birthday in April Yuzen- I got my first box in February, since it's quarterly now I'll be sticking around to see a few more boxes FabFitFun- Signed up using the $10 off coupon , it's expensive but I like the idea of quarterly subs or subs you can skip months ( like SeasonsBox) so I'll stick sround for a few since it's new Pawalla-Just ordered my first standard box with $6.50 off, will probably cancel but my senior cat has kidney disease and doesnt love her kidney food so I thought this would be a fun way to try some natural/organic wet food and treats plus we have two kitties so they will both enjoy getting some treats I think that's it haha..I also do influenster and bzzagent, have been really pleased with bzzagent, influenster I've only gotten one voxbox & I'm starting to lose interest

 

[SnowLeopard]

Currently subscribed to: Birchbox Ipsy Sample Society Glossybox Starbox Julep (usually skip) FabFitFun (signed up for intro box, will decide to continue or not based on contents) No longer subbed to: Beauty Army (wasn't impressed by selections) Fortune Cookie Soapbox (I liked it but they didn't notify me of changing payment systems so I just never resubbed, I have too many LUSH products to use up anyway)

It was cute- I just did a one piece buy (I had a discount from a Fancy box)- you can pick what you want or let them pick for you based on style which is what I did. I thought it was really pretty what they picked out and I didn't even see it in their gallery so I don't think I could have picked it out myself. I enclosed some pics.

 

[javagirl87]

pink beryl is really tempting!!! but I know that i'd just ruin my tights after a few wears (like always) so it's not worth $10-12 a pair for me. I tend to just pick up cheap ones from Urban Outfitters or Target lol
