Make sure if you decide to that it's before Nov 4th, they increase prices then!!

Ipsy
Lip Factory, Inc (highly underrated)
(indie) Madd Style Cosmetics' Madd Cat Box
(indie) Glamour Doll Eyes' OTM (stands for 'of the month')

(indie) Moon Rabbit Cosmetics' Lunar Bunny Club


Past:

Birchbox (meh)
Julep Maven (super meh)

Might be adding Blush to the list, not sure. 

 
My current weakness is as stands.......

Blush Mystery Beauty Box (4 months now)

Sample Society (2 months now)

Lip Factory (5th month now)

Ipsy (4th month)

Birchbox (2nd month)

e.l.f. bundle (gotten twice now)

New Beauty Test Tube (only gotten once so far but loved it)

On the chopping board 

QVC Beauty Test Tube (this will be 2nd one, going to see how I like it. I really can't afford to keep this one and the regular one however this one won't ship out again until January 2014)

Goodies Co... (one more yucky box will be my final straw)

 
 My husband lost his job so I dropped all subs except Lip Factory, (DH and Momma insisted that I keep LF since it's my favorite), a friend gifted me a 1 year sub to BB as a birthday present a couple of days ago (yes, I cried, couldn't believe the kindness!)

Lip Factory

BB (gift sub)

Okay, now I'm on a quest:  What other indie boxes are there?  I know about Glitter Daze, Glitter Guilty, Color Me Monthly, Fortune Cookie Soap, Ophelia's Apothecary, and Square Hue (which I don't think of as an indie, but I'll put it on here because it's not affiliated with any big company that I'm aware of).  What others are there (nails polish, eye shadow, bath stuff, anything else)?  I tried to find You Polish, but I'm not sure that's even the right name, and Google was being *extremely* unhelpful, so I would love a link to that one.

Whoa, you know of more than I do! There's an indie-specific group on FB that might be able to list more, on Facebook, called Indie Pretties (link opens in new window). I'm assuming it's okay to post that, since it's not personally mine and there's nothing for sale there. There are quite a few company owners in there, several of which are considering their own sub box. 

 
Currently, I am only subscribed to Birchbox, Goodies, and Skoshbox.  Have been pretty disappointed in Goodies Box as of late, so may be dropping that one as well.  Also have Julep, but I seem to skip it month after month - I rarely wear nail polish so, unless there is a color I think I absolutely have to have I tend to skip it.

 
Julep

Bondi 

PopSugar

GlossyBox

Ipsy

RocksBox

Quarterly (Nina Garcia, Poketo, and Tina Roth Eisenberg)

Escape Monthly

Flicker Box

Love with Food

NatureBox

Golden Tote

StitchFix

Honest Company

Homegrown Collective

I'm trying to cut down a few, and I think I'll drop Ipsy, RocksBox, and Julep. I've been skipping Julep a lot recently.

 
Birchbox (love the point system! just bought $132 worth of stuff and after a promo code and 700 points, only paid $4!)

Le Métier De Beaute (big upfront investment but I've enjoyed everything so far)

Glossybox (just subbed so my first box will be this month)

 
Current:

Lip Factory (4 months)

Birchbox (just subscribed!)

Past:

Glossybox (3 months)

Ipsy (2 months) 

I've made a point to cycle out my subscription boxes to make sure I get a good sampling, and then I'll choose a "final line up". I'll ax LF at some point for Blush Mystery Box - if I'm super unsatisfied with that, I'll cancel BB and Blush to try out Wantable, but hopefully that won't be an issue. 

 
BirchBox BuluBox Conscience Box Julep Blush Mystery Box PopSugar Must Have Fancy Pijon Glossy Box Glamour Doll From the Lab Pretty Box Yuzen New Beauty Test Tube Wow, thats A LOT! That doesn't even scratch the surface of the ones I want to try. I'm keeping BuluBox , Birch Box and Pijon simply because I have a prepaid subscription with them, but I think Julep, PopSugar, Glossy and Fancy are going to be canceled next month. I am on the wait list for Ipsy and I am on the fence with the new Quarterly Box by Olga Kay. Is anyone else ging to be trying that quarterly box out?

 
New list!  I'm not going to list the ones I've had and dropped because I can't remember them all.

Have:  

  • Birchbox x2 (planning on cutting down to just one box as soon as I hit 300 points on the second sub.  The first is an annual sub, and I do plan on renewing!)
  • Julep (usually skip)
  • Square Hue
  • Glamour Doll Eyes (when I can snag a sub!)
  • PopSugar Must Have (will probably cancel after the December box)
  • Starlooks
  • Le Metier de Beaute (I've only kept a few of the items from the first three months for varying reasons, but I've managed to sell the things I haven't used for prices that have more than covered the prorated cost of the sub so far, so I haven't really lost money on this one, which was what I was terrified of:  Paying $350 for a sub and having unused expensive stuff just *sit* there.  So far so good!)
  • Fortune Cookie Soap

Just subbed to:

  • Madd Cat (subscribed last night)
  • Scratch + Monthly Mani (just subscribed tonight!)

I've gotten past my try-all-the-skincare fixation of last year, as evidenced by all of the makeup subs.  (I had a *nasty* reaction last December that has made me *extremely* wary about trying new skincare.)  This was my BUY ALL THE THINGS year for makeup, and I'm going to try to be *much* more controlled about it next year, and that's going to mean more subs if I can find them.  I would love to try more indie subs if anyone knows of any, but preferably *not* nail subs due to the vast number of polishes I have already, and I'm *not* dumping Square Hue (I'm hoping I can force myself to actually *use* the Scratch wraps during the month they were sent, and if not, I'll be canceling.  I have a problem with wanting to save things like that for a special occasion, and then I never have special occasions, so I end up never using the really neat things!).  I'm thinking about Kiss My Sass, but I need to do a little more digging and check out previous months to make sure they're really something I'm interested in.
