i love it and I'm also part of the uk group order that order from them as well, i have soap box reviews down below on blog if you want to see type of things,and yes very good value if you think of a quarterly sub,before you buy the rest of the collection full-size

edit to add some re full-size some are generous samples

I was not impressed with Sample Society, my least favorite subscription ever. However, I did enjoy Glossybox. There isn't a doubt in my mind I would pick Glossybox, of the two.

I love fortune cookie soap box and do believe it is worth the price. You will also receive a $10 off code along with your samples. Regular orders seem to ship really fast. Sample sizes in the subscription are pretty small, in my opinion.

Update - this is sort of so I can keep track of what I have.

Current:

Birchbox x 3 (I'm eventually going to go to 1 annual sub, 2 monthly subs)

ipsy (will be cancelling as soon as I get up to 1000 points to cash in on a product)

Beauty Box 5 (billed quarterly - may change to annual eventually)

Fortune Cookie Soap Box (billed quarterly)

Cancelled:

BeautyArmy - what a joke.

Just to give you an idea of the size. To me they always look larger in pictures.

Ahhh! Thank you! That is a great reference. I decided to go ahead and sign up (what they hey, it's 20$ lol) and I'll just cancel before the next season if I don't like it.

Thanks! I subscribed to Starlooks and LipFactory.... I have such a problem! I'm sure I'll break down and do BoxyCharm next!

You're welcome! The products do smell amazing! By the time you take away the $10 gift card and what shipping would be, you are paying little of nothing for the samples (maybe 50 cents each). It always sounds better when I think of it this way!

I received my first subscription box (BeautyArmy) in January. It's now March and I get 5 monthly sub boxes (3 of them are Birchbox, now THAT is a problem lol) and now I'll get FCSB every 3 months.

As soon as I get my promotion (next month or so), I'll be subscribing to BarkBox or something for my little princess ;D

lol that's how I justify having 3 birchboxes /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Do the gift cards expire?

I am not sure they expire but from what I'm told you can only use one at a time.

That's correct they don't expire . And you can only use 1 code at a time

You can definitely use more than 1 gift card at a time, the most I have heard is 4.

Wow, Dollar Shave Club is *fast*!  Order placed the evening of March 8th, shipped the 10th, and arrived today.  I was very confused when I found the envelope in the mail, but I'm also very happy because it's That TIme of the Year:  It's above 60 degrees!  Leg-shaving season has commenced!

I love Dollar Shave Club!  Inexpensive razors that work great and I never run out as they deliver them without problem!

BTW, I saw someone on here saying something about they wish there was a subscription service that sent you toothbrushes... well, there is! You can have them sent to your house automatically either every month, 2 months, or 3 months. Prices range from 1$-5$.

That's so cool!  I think maybe it was @meaganola that wanted a toothbrush sub?  Sorry if that wasn't, lol, but I seem to remember something about it when we were all talking about organizing our stashes?

Yes, that was me!  But what I *really* want is a sub where I hit the ticky boxes and automagically get a care package each month containing just enough shower gel/toothpaste/shampoo/dishwasher tabs//toothbrush/laundry detergent/hand cream/etc. for the month.  Everything in one box, and different scent/flavor options each month.  And just enough for one person!  One bottle of dish soap lasts me *years*.  I want smaller containers so I can switch things up every month but not have a shelf full of partially-used bottles of shower gel.

ETA:  Maybe I'm missing something, but I only see $5 toothbrushes for adults.  All three levels -- basic, advantage, and luxury -- are priced the same!  There's a "$1 Toothbrush" box on the first page of the site, but the price is $5!  This makes no sense.

Hi! My subscriptions are: Lip Factory inc. Ipsy Starlooks Canceled: Wantable makeup Wantable shipped fast but I was so disappointed in what I received.

I don't wear foundation or blush so the brush was a waste. The eyeshadow is boring and the fume'or lipgloss is Shimmery. Im 36 not 13! I'm not thrilled about Ipsy shipping. I live in Chicago but it took 10 days from the date of shipping to receive my goods. On top of that, they sent me a tanning lotion despite me having a beautiful natural tan and me saying I don't wear tanning products. Jury is still out. Haven't received starlooks yet. Hope they treat me well. My favorite is lip factory so far. I've had one box and this month's box was perfect!
