I've been avoiding this like the plague because I knew that if I actually had it all grouped together, then I'd totally be able to understand why I'm pushing it so close by getting all of son's college textbooks purchased on Sunday, just in the nick of time for starting classes the very next day! Three months, that's all that it's taken for me to become unbearably hooked to this site and to having subs.......
Subs that I have tried & cancelled:
*Pawalla (only 2)
*Naturebox (only 2)
(poor doggy and my plans of getting healthier was quickly ditched for makeup, lol)
Subs that I can't decide whether to keep or not:
*Love With Food (2 so far)
*Goodies Box (3 so far)
*Julep Maven (2 so far & skipped for August)
*Lip Factory, Inc. (3 so far. Really torn about this one)
Subs that I adore:
*Blush Beauty (will be getting 2nd one today)
*QVC Beauty Test Tube (my 1st one)
*E.L.F. Bundle (1 so far)
*Bondi New York (1 so far & 1 extra box)
*Ipsy (2 so far)
Subs that I want:
*New Beauty Test Tube
*Sample Society
--okay, things that I'm discovering about myself --
1.) In my quest to make up for almost 20 years of not buying makeup and skincare, I fell victim to sub boxes... not only for thinking it was the ultimate solution to teaching me what products are popular and what products work for me but someone else was doing the picking because I didn't have a clue as to where to start!
2.) While I do really like my polish boxes, I bite my fingernails really badly so I only have 2 fingernails that actually grow and I think that I've got enough polish but it's difficult to give up Bondi because of their amazing customer service.
3.) Lip Factory was my very first sub because simply I knew that I like lipstick and lip gloss and I wanted a storm of both to fall into my lap.... Very mixed feelings about this sub.... I love the products (well, most of them) and I love the customer service so much but month after month, I keep ending up with the worst colors possible. I'm already timid about trying new stuff but to add to that my being in my mid 40's, well Eeeek! I understand that when you get mystery boxes, it's a chance that you've got to take but I'm just torn that even with 3 months, I have maybe 4 items that I know for a fact that I can and will use. Part of me, wants to hold out until the lip box in November but then, I start to worry about if it might be a whole box of wrong colors for me!
4.) I seem to be loving situations where I am able to get a good mixture of products but they're more expensive such as Blush Beauty, QVC test tube and even my first Allure box. As I listed, I am also really, really wanting the regular New Beauty Test Tube however these type of subs and purchases cost much more. Common sense tells me that if I'd just go ahead and cancel the ones that I can live without, then it would make up for the ones that I seem to enjoy the most. Not sure what is holding me back except the love of getting packages and knowing that whenever I get a package, the mailman (regular one) puts my mail with the package on the edge of my grill next to the door and I really like not having to walk to my mailbox those days.
.... Moral of my self discovery.... I'm very indecisive about things. I tend to wait on things and end up regretting it in the long run... what I really need to do, is push myself to do some cancelling before the end of the month before billing takes place! Thanks everyone for patiently dealing with my long post... The way I see it is that admitting that I have a problem is me taking the first step before I'm in way too deep!!!
