Keep an eye out they often have this sub on groupon. I did a 6 month for 80, but they had a 3 month for 42.

 
PopSugar, my favorite, but will only renew in April with a good coupon Birchbox, will not renew after the year sub is over, love the points Le Metier de Beaute, huge splurge, will not renew after one year. (Sad) Ipsy, first month re subbing Love with food, 6 months deal with coupon, will not renew Occasional Glossybox and Blush Mystery if the spoilers are good and special offer. Gifts to my college kid, purchased with coupons and expiring soon: Popsugar , Taste Guru, Pijon

 
(I originally posted this on a different thread,but it fits much better here) I've only been aware of subs since Sept and I've already tried : Wantables accessories- LOVE Popsugar-REALLY LIKE Wantables intimates - not right for me ipsy- fun and cheap, but will likely cancel soon Birchbox - okay, but too much variation on boxes. (Will cancel next month) Hammock Pack- Sweet and really great curation, but not a great dollar value. I only got one box, but might order another some day Fab Fit. Fun- good value, some horrible stuff. (Rubber pink bracelet) Will likely only get one more Fancy Box- Okay to Great depending on the month, but HORRIBLE inconsistent delivery and just a bad website interface. Also, too expensive. Not worth the trouble. Julep- Okay. I skip most months Bulu Box- HATE!!! My first ever sub and I made the mistake of prepaying for six months. It is such a terrible rip off! They charge. $10 a month for samples you can get for free at Whole Foods or an health store. Graze Box- Love! I don't see myself ever canceling Graze. It's so inexpensive and has basically become part of my food routine. I have one of their snacks every day at work. Naturebox- Okay. not as fun as Graze, cancelled after the second box. Klutch Klub- Not worth it. Okay products, terrible customer service ( I called because a product had spilled all over the contents in my box and the woman I spoke with was seriously one of the worst CSRs I've ever spoken to. ) the box is worth getting when they have a special, but only when it's cheap. Whimsey Box- Okay, but not for me. Watch out for billing errors. Sparaj- Lovely. Great service, cool products. A little on the pricey side, so this one is a special treat once or twice a year. Pijon: Not good, not a good dollar value and the curation has gone down. I will not renew after my 6 month sub is up. Up next to try: Beauty box 5- I got a great deal,where if you sign up,for a year it averages just over $6 per box. So, I'm going to cancel Bb and Ipsy and just have this for a while. Escape monthly- this looks like it could be hit or miss I hope it's not just a bunch of spa type bath products, but it looks like it has potential. They seem to have good customer service which is very important to me. Her fitness Box- free shipping from Australia, how could I resist at least seeing what it's all about? Her fashion box- "^" And thus concludes my list. I'm sure I'm leaving stuff out. And putting it all in writing makes me realize that I went a little nuts with the sub boxes. But I only have a few that are on-going so I don't feel too bad. I work hard, so I might as well have a little fun with my paycheck

Welcome!

 
I've subscribed to three: Birchbox, ipsy, and Glossybox. I was able to snag a good deal for a 1 year sub for Glossybox when it was up on Living Social (so it's like $12 a month vs the original $21). Not always too excited for my BB because of the teas and foil packets but their point system is making me stay. :p /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If I could get glossybox that cheap, I'd probably sub to it too. Have you tried BeautyBox5? :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have not! How is it? I ended up just getting a BB and ipsy sub when I first started looking since those seem to be most popular and I liked what I saw in previous boxes. I'm hoping to get more subs once my budget allows it. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Is StylingOn worth the price? I saw the same service named Nadine West, has anyone tried their subscription box?

 
Here's my list...

Subscribed:

Rocksbox (Love them!)

Julep

Birchbox (Their CS is awesome.) 

Plated (Also has awesome CS and we've had some really good meals.)

Naturebox 

Graze

Golden Tote

Barkbox (Rigby loves this!) 

Honest Company (Love their laundry products!)

Wait Listed:

ipsy

Cancelled:

Conscious Box (too pricy for a bunch of samples and coupons, though I did like a few of the products sent.)

Popsugar Must Have (Will re-sub if there's a good coupon!)

Stitch Fix (Inconsistent fixes sent to others, quality of the item I kept was just meh.)

Love with Food (Didn't like my first month much.) 

 
I'm new to this subscription service. I'm currently subscribed to Nadine West and I'm loving it so far. The best part about them is that they don't charge you anything unless you decide to keep the items. On my first month, I received a top, an earring and 2 bracelets. I kept all of them except for the other bracelet and I only paid less than $30 for all of 'em. Nadine West is really a must try!

 
Currently:

Ipsy

Julep 

Fortune Cookie Soap Box

Nerd Block

Cancelled:

Luxe Box (plan on resubbing)

Mystery Tackle Box (too expensive/couldn't use everything)

Glossybox (no longer available in Canada)

UM Cheeky (wasn't getting styles I liked)

Want to try:

Spicy Subscriptions

Meme Box

Cannabox

 
Update! This is more for me so I can keep track of what I have

Honest Company

I'm kind of over the box craze, so I want to cut down to just Birchbox, Ipsy, Yuzen & Golden Tote. After all of my pre-paid things run out that is!

 
Gosh, I've been gone for so long (life got in the way) that I'm glad to see this post is still relatively fresh.  I've given up all my makeup subs, which I think I had done before the last time I posted.  Right now I'm strictly on fashion subs and the two I'm using are Le Tote, which I love and Blues Jean Bar Express, which I also love but which is EXPENSIVE.  I've cut it back to a quarterly subscription rather than monthly.  The items are to die for, but man the price point is really up there.

Anyway, I've missed MUT and now that I'm all settled back down again (I changed jobs and had some other big events going on) I'll be glad to get caught up.  

Is there a Le Tote or BJB thread?

 
I think I've found my balance for this year!

  • Birchbox -- My annual renewal just went through last weekend!  April will mark my third anniversary with them.  I signed up eight months into their existence.  They were my first sub, and I think they were the *only* one when I signed up.  I love the fact that they send pretty much everything.  Sometimes I get foils that can be used just a couple of times, but sometimes I get full-sized makeup, like a stila smudge stick or a Mally lip pencil.  I'm not in this sub for large deluxe samples that will last me a month or more.  I'm looking for things large enough to try and see whether they make a difference for me/I like them/my skin FREAKS OUT.  I have a history of buying full-sized products and only using the equivalent of a sample's worth of them, so these sizes are perfect for me.
  • Starlooks -- I'm a makeup junkie, but I tend to buy the same colors over and over.  Starlooks sends me colors outside of what I would normally pick out on my own.  Sometimes they do send me things I would pick out, but that's not typical.  A lot of people don't like them because they *do* send weirder things sometimes, but their goal is to push subscribers outside of their comfort zones, and when I do finally experiment with whatever they send, I usually make things work.  I'm amazed at how much I dig the frosty lipstick they sent me last month that I was *not* interested in when I initially opened the tube (I ended up with BFF, which is a great topper for bright creams).  I still hate black eyeliner and liquid liner of any color, though!
  • SquareHue -- *The* most reliable sub I have ever encountered as far as charging and shipping go.  Sometimes the colors aren't great (the Paris collection?   Seriously?), but other times, they're amazing (last April's entire collection!), and for fifteen bucks a month (since I signed up before their first box even went out), I'm okay with the gamble. 
  • Glamour Doll Eyes -- I snagged a one-year sub on this one!  Whoo!  I've become obsessed with this entire company.  I'm probably going to have every eyeshadow color (I'm not big on loose or powder blush.  Creams work better for me, at least right now) they produce by this time next year.  This sub goes back to the same reason I'm sticking with Starlooks despite my huge makeup collection:  Every month, I get a new surprise color that I haven't picked out, and there's one part ooh-shiny-new-color-to-play-with and one part how-do-I-make-this-work.  You can't get in a rut of nothing but purple eyeshadow every single day (I think my mom used the same Lancome palette every single day for years on end and only changed colors when that palette was discontinued!) if you have to figure out how to work with a new wildly different color each month.

I also have Julep and Scratch, but I usually skip Julep because they tend to release the same sorts of colors -- and heavy on the creams -- month after month.  I look to subs as a place for experimentation and new things, not yet another round of safe colors I will never, *ever* wear because I specifically avoid safe colors and am not a fan of creams.  Last month, I skipped Scratch because I was short on funds, and I'll probably skip this month as well because it looks like that collection will be textured, and I am not a huge fan of textured nails (plus I have a con at the end of the month where I will be able to get nail wraps based on bandit masks, Lovecraft, Doctor Who, MST3K, Firefly, and probably at least a dozen more themes!).  Oh, and I also have Fortune Cookie Soap's Soap Box, but that's quarterly.  I wish there was a sub that sent out one eight-ounce bottle of shower gel and matching lotion in a seasonal scent each month!  That would pretty much be my perfect combination for subs:  Mixed bag beauty/lifestyle box, mystery makeup, nail polish, eyeshadow, and bath products

ETA:  Dollar Shave Club.  I just signed up this evening.  I decided that since I am running low on razor blades but grimace at their cost in stores, I might as well give DSC a try.
