What companies do you subscribe to?

[meaganola]

Getting into the whole subscription box thing... I'm plus size and have some skin issues so I don't think that any skin products would do me any good. Any recommendations as far as fashion or samples (non skin care) goes?

Are you interested in makeup and/or nail polish? Starlooks (makeup) and Square Hue (nail polish) are my two main subs for those. (I'm plus-sized as well and have yet to find a fashion sub for us. I've given up on that.)

Would makeup work? Or nail polish? Or maybe accesories?

For accesories check out bleu vintage.com. They have something called a blue box and it comes in either silver or gold. It is amazing! There is also little black bag which has shoes, and jewelry, and bags. It's pretty cool!

For nail polish I'm obsessed with Julep. It is actually one of my favorite subs.

Then for makeup I really like Lip Factory. They give a great assortment! Or maybe ipsy since in the few months I've gotten a box I don't recall any skincare.

anyone subbed to Boxycharm?

I just subscribed to Escape Monthly to lock in the lower rate and I'm really looking forward to it! Love that it incorporates travel, culture, and relaxation all in a subscription box... it's everything I love! Anyone else spring for it? It's on the pricier side but is supposed to include more luxury items and full/deluxe sizes.

I don't think there are any plus sized fashion subs, but there is Volupties for undies, if that interests you? I got my first month last month and I like it, think I'll keep it for a few more months to build up my stock of cute undies.

There's also vintage bleu for jewelry, and wantable jewelry.  I have too many boxes

I'm down to two Birchbox boxes now but I would say I'm not so much burned out of sub boxes as I feel that I need to use up some products before continuing my subs. I decided to cancel Ipsy this month even though I really love their bags because I don't use up their products as fast. They tend to send out more full size make up products that I stop using after a few weeks when their novelty wears off and they just sit in my collection taking up space. I rent my living space so I have a fairly small storage area. But with Birchbox, I tend to use up all of the products they send to me consistently so I don't have such a ridiculous build up of products in my cabinet. 

My goal now is to start using up some of my makeup products and then resub to Ipsy before the end of the year.

Currently my faves: 1. Lip Factory (my best ever pick)

                                 2. Ipsy (great bargain)

                                 3. Birchbox (points addict and I have found many new loves from the samples)

Kinda meh:               4. PopSugar  (when it's good it's great, but when bad it's awful JMHO, very much a seesaw)

Will probably drop:    5. Sample Society ( not enough makeup for my taste)

 I've only had one Elf Bundle so far, and really liked it, but I don't want to judge a sub until I've had 3 boxes to see if 2 out of 3 are good for my tastes.

Yep! Starts August 1st. https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/136639/bondinyc-august-2013-1st-new-subscription-box I even paid the extra $15 to get a second box since they guaranteed no duplicates of the 3 polished or the beauty item. I cancelled Julep fairly quickly when I heard about Bondi. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Thanks for posting! I tried to last night from my phone, and it said my post had to be submitted for moderation. Weird.

I'm going to put out an I-wish into the universe and hope someone picks the idea up: I wish there was a shower-gel-and-body-butter/lotion sub. One bottle of shower gel and one jar/bottle of body butter/lotion each month in a seasonal scent for, oh, let's say $20 a month including shipping, maybe with an option to add scrub, body oil, bubble bath, etc., as desired. Glamour Doll Eyes and Square Hue have really made me love getting a seasonal selection each month, and it would be fantastic to add bath stuff to that mix!

Well, there's this: http://www.fortunecookiesoap.com/pages/the-soap-box It's quarterly.

It's also just samples. I'm already subscribed to that. It's not quite what I'm looking for. I'm talking a full-sized bottle/jar/tube each month.
