[had706]

Lol I actually had never heard of subscription boxes until I saw an ad for Naturebox on Facebook. I did a little research and quickly stumbled upon a couple of the bigger blogs and now I'm totally addicted too!

 

[Andi B]

I think it's past time for me to fess up...here it goes:

Beauty subs:

Birchbox

Glossybox (may not renew)

Le Metier de Beaute (very nice, but one year will probably be enough for me)

From the Lab (also nice, but again, one year will probably be enough)

Blush Mystery Box

Julep

Bondi

Glitter Guilty

Lifestyle subs:

PopSugar Must Have (plus all the luxury & seasonal boxes)

Clothing/Accessories subs:

Ellie Fit Fashionista Club

Golden Tote (not a sub, but I've been buying totes monthly)

Little Black Bag (will probably give this up soon)

Quarterly Subs:

FabFitFun

Fortune Cookie Soap

Yuzen

Other:

-On waitlist for Ipsy (dropped it right before the Urban Decay lipstick samples went out & have been regretting it ever since!)

Cancelled:

-Goodies Co. (went WAY downhill)

-Skoshbox (good, but lost the thrill for me after 3 boxes)

As you can see, I've gone a little crazy over subs, and it got really out of hand for a while.  However, I've recently figured out how to recoup some of my expenses by selling unwanted items through eBay, so I'm seriously subsidizing my obsession now!

 

[pinkgirlie]

Hi All, After six months, I think Im almost done with the subscription services, To handle my excess, I started the ebay and trade route for excess stuff and thought Im starting to lose more than what I put in and Im starting to find what I cant live without, After having kids and they started going to school, I used these services to save money and get into makeup again,but now I find out Im getting stuff that doesnt compare to what Ive discovered and Im loyal too. for example, Ipsy introduced me to Benefit and I explored their other products and now the only blush for me is Dandelion. Now it seems every subscripiton service is sending out a blush each month and none look as good on me as my Dandelion, Of course isnt that what subscription services is about to find loyal customers?

I wanted to write in to beware shady companies too like Conscious box, it was so good in the beginning, cleansers, eco housewares, organic food and cosmetics, Suddenly overnight (actually past two months, I let them slide to give them a chance)  they switch from a heavy box and many full sized, to a partially filled box with foil samples and one plastic bag for picking up doggy poo. I kid you not. Thats all I got one month was one 50 cent bag of chips, foil samples and a bag to pick up dog shit, for 20.00 dollars, It seems like after they amass lots of customers and get their money, they cheat them.

I'm almost done with subscription boxes, I thank most of them for introducing me to things I love though !

Thanks too, for Klutchclub giving members 2.00 boxes for Halloween and other holidays, you rock !

 

[pinkgirlie]

I guess I did my drama queen letter cause Im so scare of another company cheating me again like Conscious box did,  Ones that start off good and then turn into a nightmare

I know what I like now and Im starting to go to the store again cause of bad experiences online, Some subscriptions are good, others not so much.  Be careful which ones you trust, even ones you trust can change overnight.

Yay I'm glad you were able to find favorites from your subscription boxes! Benefit is one of my favorite brands too. I stick with a lot of my subscriptions because I enjoy getting a box of surprises each month, or because I can preview what's actually in the box before buying it. 

We got the same box from Conscious Box! A plastic bag and a bunch of strange energy pill supplements, among other very useless and disappointing things. I don't think they really mean to cheat customers; they probably just got too many new customers using promo codes and had to cut corners for a few months. 

 

[pinkgirlie]

Hi Secret, yay, thanks for hearing my rant, lol. I remember when Conscious box blew me away, My family had a great time going thru it all. There were full sized tubes, bags of candy, housewares. Lots of full size.  Past couple months Ive dreaded it coming however. And honestly think its a ten dollar box at most now. I just cant stick in there, They said next month is their anniversary and they have something good planned.  Im paid thru that month so we will see. But I cant renew for December.  Klutch club is still coming thru giving out full sizes. I have more respect for them than Conscious.

I might sign up for another IPSY for myself. cause Im giving mine to my daughter now and Ill still get Blush Mystery thru December at least. I wont give it up totally, lol.. And I love the Klutch holiday specials. (free or 2.00 dollar boxes)

These boxes also give me a social outlet, its so much fun talking with other ladies !

I agree about Conscious Box, but not only in just the last two months! THey used to send out a variety (cleansers, beauty products, etc) and for the last year or so, it has basically been all food. And not food I want, bars, hemp and chia seeds, etc. It went from a great value to a box of crap, IMO.

I subbed for one of Conscious boxes promo boxes like 6 months ago and it was total crap then too. Baby food and weird vitamin supplements, and all foil packs. It was a STEEPLY discounted promo (like maybe $1) so I wasn't too mad about that, i didn't feel ripped off since i used like one or two things from it bahahah. but I felt like if they were honestly interested in getting me to sub they would've sent me something better to make me want to pay full price, not just a random box of stuff they were needing to get rid of.

I subbed for one of their promos too and it sucked as well. I think the only thing really worthwhile in there was a bag of chips. Otherwise everything else I'm pretty sure was just a paper item (like a coupon for blank % off an order) and I got a lube sample, that in my opinion was sort of strange for an eco friendly box.

Ive noticed that theyve been deleting all negative Facebook comments. What shady people. Be sure to let your voice be heard on Subscriptionboxes.com. I think they own that site (its how they amassed a lot of members) but they  havent deleted the negative comments there yet.

It used to be so good and now its horrible. The owners mustve got money greedy and are now making the boxes only worth a few dollars now.

One of their items was hangover lozenges, like we get drunk all the time, lol. and another item was ONE sandwich bag, yup, one single plastic sandwich bag lying on the bottom of the box that was one of their offerings in the 10-20 samples per box number. Nowadays its 10-20 coupons and foil packages with one snack bar or chips.

Yeah, so many were mad, So many dont have kids yet or kids are grown and I have kids and they hated the stuff ! lol. they spit it out . I cant believe others spend 20 dollars  a month, they try and sucker you in for.  Be careful with supplement pills. Once I took magnesium potassium with aspartate (aspartate being dangerous for some people) and it gave me seizures, Another supplement gave me hallucinations, Now I just stick with herbs I know.
