I'll be getting my first box hopefully some time this week so I'll post pics of an actual box (with size comparions) so you can get an idea of what it contains and how much.

I'm only 24 too, but i liked a lot of the products I got from beauty army. I won't lie though, I am really afraid of getting wrinkles and have been using antiaging stuff since I was like...19. Although most of the things I got weren't necessarily antiaging/wrinkle creams. The eyeshadow, lip gloss, black soap, lots of fun things!

I'm subscribed to Birchbox since a year -  I like it but have been disappointed by a couple of boxes

Just signed up for Beautyfix & used the code that someone posted before to get $30 off. I'll see if I like it but $49.99 is definitely a lot of money.

I signed up for MyGlam but I'm on the waiting list.

I'm also waiting to check out Glossybox.

I canceled Testtube - I like that it had a lot of products but I felt like a lot of the products where not for my age (I'm 28) & most full size were crazy expensive & I would have never bought them.

I looked at all the other boxes that you guys mentioned but wasn't really attracted to any other boxes.

how does the little black bag work?

You take a quiz but you can go back and customize it further. I was able to choose one item and then based on the value of that item you get one to three more items randomly chosen for you.  I got two more items in my bag.  You can then choose to go ahead and ship your bag or start trading with other users to try to get different items (which is highly addicting).  I've traded the other two items in my bag two or three times. I'm pretty happy with what's in my bag now. They offer jewelry, handbags, accessories, and a few little houseware knick knack things. The brands are more designer. I can't wait to get my first bag.

 

[Playedinloops]

So I just signed up for little black bag...I think I'm in love. I can't afford to do it every month but maybe 2-3 times a year this will be SO fun.

Currently subscribed to:

MyGlam (waiting for first box)

ShoeDazzle (skip most months)

LittleBlackBag (just launched)

Here's the link to those curious.

http://www.littleblackbag.com

I decide to take the quiz just to see and according to them I'm a little sparkle bag. You have the option to be a recurring monthly member OR do it as a "one time" only.

​

Little Sparkle Bag style picks!Choose the 1st item & we'll surprise you with the rest.

2 - 4 items for $49.95. FREE shipping on your first order!

It looks like a nice little treat to get some cute accessories. I'll definitely keep this one on my list.

 

[crazyawesomelvn]

I am also subscribed to many, New Beauty test tube qvc version got me started , and it was all down hill from there I am subscribed to:

Birchbox

My Glam

Juilp

My Platinum Box

The Look Bag

Sample Society

Beauty Army

New Beauty Test Tube

QVC version New beauty Test Tube

Cravebox

I have to say the first Platinum Box wasnt to impressive, but it was free,,, they wanted to see how many people they could interested before charging and increasing inventory, I have to say though they have the BEST customer service, thats how I know about the reason for the free inaugral box, they promise the next boxes will be much better.

Now that I see a code for $30 off Beauty Fix I am compelled to try that as well!! This is a serius addiction, but so much fun

Regarding LITTLE BLACK BAG:

Just sayin', as a Betsey Johnson devotee, the items from her are being listed at full retail, even though they are currently at half-price on her website and are available below "retail" at several online sellers. Now, obviously, pricing isn't a big deal, since you also get other stuff, but....figured I'd point it out.

The specific example I noticed was the ROSE ABOVE wristlet, which is currently $34 on Betsey's site. Again, my point isn't pricing--but do not think that these are current designs! The ROSE ABOVE collection has been available AT LEAST since 2008. Sure, they're still cute, and that may not be an issue for ya, but just be aware, that's all /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hope that they are--they couldn't have been much worse! It was a shame, though, because they wound up turning off at least a few potential subscribers with how it was handled.

I noticed a few of her cosmetic bags were also listed at full price. I saw these same bags at Costco (set of 3) for $20 just a few weeks ago.

 

[Pancua]

Once I weed out which cosmetic subs I am going to keep, I may have to sign up for this. I loved the selections they had for me in their quiz.

Yup. The one thing that I will say in their favor is that it is the actual BETSEY JOHNSON line, rather than BETSEYVILLE, but I still wouldn't want to be getting 4 year old lines from a company unless it was clearly disclosed that these are not the current collection NOR are the pricings accurate. I don't mind buying older stuff--if it's at a substantial discount--but this...isn't. (Again, not counting that you get additional items). I think I shall pass on this one, too, even though it looked exciting at first.
