Cancelled a bunch of subscriptions a few months ago, and now I get the following ones:

Birchbox

Ipsy

POPSUGAR

Juniper

Square Hue (select months)

Sample Society

Beauty Box 5

LMdB

 
I am down to just ipsy, which I love, and Julep, which I skip most months. I would like to try Glitter Guilty; maybe when I get my bonus from work.

 
Okay, now I'm getting the following:
Ipsy (not loving it like I used to)
Lip Factory
Innocent + Twisted Alchemists (indie)
Madd Style Cosmetics' Madd Cat box (indie)


Innocent + Twisted Alchemists is brand new, launched this month. I like it because you can get clamshells or full sizes, and because it included five baggie samples from other indie companies. To me, it really says something about their confidence in their products if they're wiling to send potential compete tor's products along too.

 
I sub to:

Ipsy

Birchbox

Wantable

One Radiant (skincare only)

I recently subbed to Sample Society, but haven't received a box yet.

Cancelled:

Beauty Box 5 (too boring!!)

Birchbox Man (hubby just wasn't interested in anything but the little cologne samples)

Thinking about subbing to:

Blush

Lip Factory

 
I am currently subbed to: Birchbox Beautybox 5 (will cancel when prepaid sub is finished) Fortune Cookie Soap box Julep Popsugar Must Have box Graze (will probably cancel after 6th box) Naturebox (on hold onto January) Tried and cancelled: Ipsy Sample Society Starlooks Starbox Conscious Box Goodies Co Orange Glad Love with Food

 
I sub to- Popsugar Popsugar Limited Edition boxes Ellie Fabletics Birchbox Limited Editions (I don't sub to Birchbox regular, I hate tiny samples) and I'm joining Fancy Box (regular) and Elizabeth and Clarke. I just love the value and surprise element of sub boxes. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I don't like Tuckins. I'm a large, and knowing how cheap lingerie fits I ordered a plus size box. They sent me a regular size set which made me feel awful when I tried it on, until I realized that it was the wrong size. Contacted them and they admitted to slipping in a regular size set on the sly. Asked for a refund and to cancel, and they refunded me- then charged me the next month for another box after I canceled. I sub to a lot of different boxes, but their customer service is downright sketchy. And it isn't even a value- I could go to Lover's Lane down the street and buy the same items for under $30. Even my boyfriend doesn't like the set on me- he says it looks cheap compared to my vast Victoria's Secret collection.

subbing to

ipsy

brazen friends with benefits

Ophelia's Apothecary ****

julep - I skip  A LOT

fortune cookie soap

eco emi

thierry mugler (quarterly sub)

blush (skipped december's - will probably re-sub in january)

wantable (skipped december's)  ****

I probably will cancel

wantable - I know that new subscribers love it, but I was spoiled when it was a much better deal.   I really hated the way they did a bait & switch on existing members, dropping the amount from 5-6 items to 4-5 (after so many of us screamed bloody murder when they tried to go to 3-4) and the value of the box is now well under 80.00 - when I started, they stated the box values would be between 80 to 100.00.    They always mess up with my dislikes and I am getting tired of emailing them to fix it.   Plus, I NEVER GET THE FEATURED ITEMS.  I am tired of that.   For $36.00, I expect better.  They gave great deals on cyber monday and for new subs, but nothing for their existing members.   not cool.

Ophelia's Apothecary - if december doesn't wow me, I will not be resubbing.    I am not happy with october and november's sub and that is when I signed up.   When I look at this past summer and september, I wonder WTF happened here?

I will keep julep because they make it easy to skip month's.  Brazen is a lot of fun!!  I also think that I will sub and unsub to Glossybox as I see fit, as there are some boxes that are really nice, but I don't want a monthly one with them.

 
Currently: Birchbox - Ipsy - Citrus Lane (6 month for $60 deal from a month ago) LipFactory (November first box) Wantable Accessories- first box great, second box meh, returned last box, awaiting this months Wantable Makeup- first box meh, second box was WOW-AMAZING, returned last months, skipped Decembers, undecided about January Nature box Munch it Graze Indiespensable Quarterly Book Riot -expecting first box next week Tried for one month and Cancelled: Glossy box Sample Society Will probably cancel LipFactory and one or both Wantables and will try OneRadiant and/or BlushBeauty

 
I do:

Eco-emi(love it for the price of $15/month)

conscious box(it's ok but I have a full year's worth)

popsugar must have

project diy

for the makers

 
My list is way too long.....

Blush Mystery Beauty

ipsy X 2

Birchbox

Beauty Box 5

Sample Society

Splendies

UmCheeky

Glossybox

Beauty Army

Graze

Naturebox

Loot Crate

Julep x 2

Honest Company

flicker box

Just subscribed to all 3 Wantable boxes.

I was very happy with the makeup box. The accessories box was nice just not worth the money to me. I'm still waiting on the intimates box but have high hopes!

I'm thinking of cancelling Beauty Box 5, Sample Society, UmCheeky, Beauty Army, one Julep, Honest Company, Flicker Box and even thinking of cancelling Glossybox.

I would like to try Starbox and LipFactory.

I'm sure I am forgetting some.....

Two months?! Omg why? I subbed for it as well... haven't received shipping notification yet but the only other quarterly I have never did either. I am not expecting to be too exciting... quarterly never packs the value other subs do imo.

I turns out that the last quarter sold out so I'll have to wait for next quarter :( /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I know bummer...but I love books and this sub seems pretty cool especially since you're not only getting a book. There's another book sub but you only get books and it's a little more expensive for what you're getting.

Well I'll try to post spoilers of the first box if you're interested. I sub to indiespensable and initially thought it was expensive but it's the sub I look forward to most even though it doesn't pack the best value. I have a feeling book riot will be similar. I like knowing the book I'm getting with indiespensable though and the extras being a surprise.
