This sounds interesting, but the website was too confusing for me to navigate; frustrating.  I couldn't find the price for the various boxes.  Perhaps this is a sign to not bother,  I have enough boxes!!!!

yes. me. nothing. no money, no subs. now that i'm gainfully employed again (thank God /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />), i am going to rejoin ipsy and birchbox.

Hmmmm the FabFitFun page seems very similar to the popsugar page but I'm weak and will probably end up buying a box to see how it is.

I actually just subbed to Lip Factory to try it out for a month, has anyone had a good/bad experience with them? I have too many subs and I'm pretty sure I'll end up canceling this one if the products are all drugstore types.

I love Lip Factory.  I've gotten Stila, Two Lips, 29 Cosmetics, Smashbox...etc.  I would stick with them solely on the basis of their fan-freakin-tastic customer service.  Seriously.  Love them!

Hm. Sounds like I might have to add Lip Factory to my addictions.

You definitely should!! I just got my March box 6 full size items and 2 full size bonus items. There is another thread and I will be posting spoiler pics of my box in a few if you want to check it out.

http://rocksbox.com/

Some of the jewelry on that site is awesome!  But we only get the jewelry on loan??  Nope, def not for me 

.  I see too many problems with that (at least for me).  I'm a klutz -- it's too much pressure to be held accountable for designer jewelry.

 Hammock Pack looks really good.  Oh no! not another one...... http://www.hammockpack.com/

Yeah, I was debating whether I should do Hammock Pack or Yuzen.  I ended up subscribing to Yuzen; it's now a seasonal subscription for only $26 (sent every 3 months) which to me seems like a great deal

New Notecard sub:

 Nicely Noted

The Cost: $18 a month; you get 3 curated cards plus stamps each month.

You can view examples of cards here http://www.nicelynoted.com/.

The cards are wonderful and as much as I love notecards, it's a bit too pricey for me.  I don't send enough notes to make it worth my while. But.... if I could afford it, I'd do it.

I think it's a nice concept.   Your thoughts?

The cards were cute, but it ends up being $6.00/card...and I def think the cards were overpriced (and very simple).  I could get a HallMark card that plays a song for about $6 - 7.

Also, there is a new box launching in a few months called "Knit Crate". They are going to send out projects monthly or bi-monthly (you can pick) based on your skill level.

http://www.knitcrate.com

I'd love to do this...if I had the skills and time for it...but sadly I don't

I have been looking into it and I will be keeping an eye on them.  Here is their youtube page with some unboxings. https://www.youtube.com/user/SeasonsBox

Here is their sub plan list.

• Bill monthly for $34.90
• 3 months for $99.70 (save $5)
• 6 months for $174.50 (save $34.90)
• 12 months for $250 (save $69.80)
• One time purchase or gift for $34.90

It's too pricey for me, but I'm tempted to subscribe to this!

Nail Art Society: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/131351/nail-art-society-dec-12

I can personally vouch for SquareHue. Love their polish and policies.

Yeah the Square Hue polishes are lovely...but I have too many nail polishes so I'd rather not subscribe.  SquareHue headquarters is located in my hometown (FL 

).  I actually contacted them to see if they had a store I could visit when I'm in town...unfortunately they don't lol

http://www.subscriptionboxes.com/blog/

Omg, yes!!!  I use that site and http://www.mysubscriptionaddiction.com -- I love them!

Ditsies sounds interesting, they even have an option to skip the month, I love when subs have that option. 

Agreed!  Seriously, sometimes I'll just try subs out just because of the "skip or suspend" feature

The Love Club!   A Valentine's Day Theme sub.

The Cost: $12 a month (free shipping)

The goods are an assortment of 3-4 accessories, beauty products, paper goods and/ or unique items from independent shops.

If you sub, let us know what you think. 

Wait is this the same as: http://love-club.myshopify.com/??  Because I wanted to try this out!  But on their website it says:

Can I join?

Not anymore!  This is a one year project ending in June 2013, we have over 350 subscribers and 2000 on our wait list, thanks for your interest!

Omg yes!!!  I hope they do open up more subscriptions.  I think the Love Club is better than Indie Gift Box; so I'd def hope I'd be able to join!

Well your wish is coming true!  Here's the status they just put up on FB! :

In case you didn't know we sold Love Club and it is going to be taken over sooner than planned and our last box as LC will be in April. Details will be available soon, but just an exciting tidbit to share: the wait list opens back up this weekend!!!

Starlooks Starbox!!!!  http://starlooks.com/ 

$15 per month plus a few dollars (less than $2) shipping and handling.  You subscription addicts need to check it out.  It's all full sized make up products, you normally get 3-4 per month.  It comes in a cute box and they send you a quartz crystal each month as well.  It's all Starlooks brand make up so if you want to try a bunch of different brands then you might not like it but these are not sample sizes people.  Full disclosure, I've only received the February box so far but I basically stalked the website, their Facebook page,and anyone on YouTube who had a review on it.  I was able to see what came in every box since it started in August and find out what people thought about it before I signed up.  I think the kicker was when I saw that in December they sent a fifteen eyeshadow palette that retails for $99 on their website.  I mean, that's crazy.  February's box was a collaboration with Lauren Clark and she helped pick out the products.  We got (all full sized) a lip liner, lip gloss, cream eyeshadow/eyeliner, and a HD fluid blush.  It was a lot of pink for February.  The lip liner is $8 normally, the lip gloss $11, the liner $15, and the blush $15.  So that's basically $50 worth of make up for $15.   I highly recommend it.  I've heard nothing but great things about their customer service as well from the comments on their Facebook page.   I'd definitely say this is an underdog box worth checking out.

don't like any sub that loans you stuff...
