Has anyone heard of MeMe box? 

So memebox is the reason I am struggling right now. I want it soooo bad. It gets awesome reviews and you get great product sizes and quality items for your money. Current Subs Birchbox x2- My first love! Don't think I will ever cancel BB. Yuzen (just got my winter box this week-LOVE it) Dollar shave club - What can I say, who doesn't need razors?!?! (I actually pay for 3 of these). My hubby and 20 year old need razors too! Julep - I've taken a few boxes- skipped a few boxes, gotten 1 mystery box--I'm really hit and miss with this one! But I have pre-ordered Mays box with the plié wand. I plan to cancel after that. Beauty sage - this isn't a recurring monthly sub but I have ended up ordering the last 4 out of 5 months. I like that you can see the box contents ahead of time. I may pass in more if these now that I have yuzen. About $90 a month for subs. I'm sure that's no where near what some spend, but I feel like that is a lot just for makeup, skin care etc. Cancelled Subs Ipsy- cancelled after 7 or 8 months Bulu box- cancelled after 1 box Runners box- cancelled after 1 box Stride box- cancelled after 2 boxes Blush mystery beauty box- cancelled after 3 boxes Wish List Memebox

I am a chef lol. It works out uk boxes are first 2 weeks of the months and international boxes the last few weeks . Some days I get 4 boxes all by different mail companies. But usually a box every other day. But now memebox could be daily or weekly the way they are throwing boxes out. There are about 8 uk boxes I don't get they don't entice me like boxes stateside. And for paying an extra £5 for shipping if rather try something way cooler.

Yes to Meme ! 

I cant wait to get my Memeboxes, I ordered the 5.2 and 7 , and I was the procrastinator. Kicking myself for not getting the 4th one that had 10 items !

I feel like getting something in the mail is my greatest treat, something about it brings me back to childhood when my Mom bought me a set of toy figurines thru the mail.

Wish I could get more..being a stay at home mom limits me via limited income. Being a chef sounds so great, Chef Gordan Ramsy has very popular cooking competition shows in USA.

. I still keep the post office busy still though, I get something delivered every week, if not subscription boxes, I get things thru ebay.

Current:

• Stitch Fix (clothing) - I've been skipping boxes from them since December.  Not too convinced on how great they are because some of the items they have sent me are on sale online, yet they charge you full price if you want to buy them.  Since they let you skip as much as you want, I save them for when I have some extra $$.
• Wantable (makeup) - They're on "probation" with me which makes me sad because the fact that their products are full sized and customizable is so awesome.  This past box I just received this weekend (February's) was a HUGE disappointment after a few months worth of mediocre boxes.  I even got a duplicate makeup item.  Thankfully they allow free returns, but if this happens again, I'm canceling with them.  They also use the same overpriced brands constantly.
• Julep (nail polish) - I personally LOVE this sub.  I know some people have been really turned off by them with all the changes they're making but I don't know what it is - I'm just hooked.  Their customer service has been good to me as well.
• POPSugar (lifestyle)  - February will be my 3rd box and my deciding one because I am also subbed to Social Bliss and I have decided depending on each ones February box, it will be one or the other.  I wasn't as impressed with the boxes I received as I was with the ones I saw reviews for in the past - which was my reason for signing up to begin with.  We shall see...
• Bijoux Box (jewelry) - This month will be my first box and I am SUPER excited for it.  Their customer service (it was actually one of the owners that personally emailed me about a concern I had)has already made a great impression on me and I love that they seem to consistently give spoilers on at leas one of the pieces you will receive.
• Ipsy (beauty) - February will be my first month, I'm excited for this one too since I've heard a good amount of positive-ness about it.
• Social Bliss (lifestyle/fashion) - I subbed for January and took a chance since they are fairly new.  I wasn't too wowed by their first box, but it was enough to keep me on for one more month as a deciding one.  If they step it up this time, I may cancel POP to stick with them.  I am in the middle of dealing with their customer service right now regarding returning my January box for credit (they don't give full refunds) and will update on how well they handle it in the Social Bliss thread I started. https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/140276/social-bliss-merged
• Blue Apron (dinner ingredients & recipes) - I've been skipping weeks since I don't find all three options appealing lately.  But from the week I did do - I thought it was fun.  If you're not an expert in the kitchen then the prep for each meal can take a bit longer than they estimate and sometimes their serving portions are off between the sides and the actual meal.  I check their menus every week though because me and my fiance had fun cooking together.
• Cypress and 5th (clothing) - Signed up with them but so far none of their pieces have appealed to me.  They're pretty low commitment though so I don't mind getting the emails to check my "closet" out every month.

Canceled:

• Black Box (nail polish) - When I first signed up, I liked the fact that they had brands like OPI and Essie and LOVED that they gave you nail art tools and ideas... but they when they came out with their own line I canceled.  I just wanted to wait to hear more about their brand and I haven't heard much so far.  Kind of sad to lose them because I really liked the nail art things.  Their customer service was awesome as well when I dealt with them.
• Glossybox (beauty) - The last box I got from them was so late, the coupon I received in my box was expired.  When I emailed them about it, they basically told me there was nothing they would do about it.  I felt that was very poor on their part and I am a stickler for customer service since I was in that job category myself at one point.

I know I've written a book, lol, but hopefully someone finds it all helpful /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />  I am also following along on the Meme box thread... they're looking really appealing at the moment.

**Is it bad that I've had to edit this post like twice to add more subs that I forgot I sub to..?

Memebox is awesome they just release them too often

 

[Vikki120306]

Does anyone subscribe to Scratch Monthly Mani box?  I know there is a thread for them but it hasn't been posted on since December and I'm just curious.  They look pretty neat...

I do! The January box:

February hasn't shipped yet. I can post more when I get home, but I'm on the bus right now, so typing on my phone is challenging.

Ohhh,fun!  That's the one they have up now on their site... so if I were to sign up today, I'm guessing I would be getting March's kit?  How long have you been subbing with them?  I think I'm going to join because I wanted a nail sub that's more focused on nail art rather than polishes since I've built up a big collection of them through Julep.

Have you been checking their website recently? They've been on a roll recently! Released Boxes #3-10 plus a luckybox in the past month. While most of them won't ship immediately, they've all pretty much sold out!
