What new subs have you learned about ? Inquiring minds want to know!

[JenniferV]

I got a package (well actually two because I wasn't sure about the sizing) from Unmentionably Cheeky last week to review.  Like someone else said, they all have Unmentionably Cheeky tags on them and are quite good quality for the price.  But I always wonder about FB likes as well and thought it was odd they ahve so

The ones I know of are:

~meUndies

https://www.meundies.com/

~unmentionably Cheeky

http://panties.umcheeky.com/

~Splendies

http://www.splendies.com/

~Volupties (aka Splendies curvy sister)

http://www.volupties.com/

~Ditsies

http://www.ditsies.com/

~Panty by Post

http://www.pantybypost.com/

And I think the other girls mentioned both Sock Panda and Foot Cardigan!

I think these have been mentioned before but here's my personal list:

Socks: Foot Cardigan, Ozone, Sock Fancy, Sock Panda

Underwear: Adore Me, Ditsies, IntiMint, Make It Good, MeUndies, Panty Fly, Splendies, Unmentionably Cheeky

Panties by Post is Canadian so I haven't tried it yet. And is Volupties/Splendies the same company? I didn't know that but it makes sense. Volupties doesn't have my size so I didn't try it (I'm small).

What about accessory subscriptions? I've been really into accessories lately. Here's what I know is out there but I'd love to try some others if anyone has some suggestions:

Accessories (not just jewelry): Chaussure Boite, Little Black Bag, OBcessorized, The Trendy Box, Bleu Box, and of course, Wantable

I've heard of Ox Box but they seem more of a lifestyle sub to me since all the reviews I've read appears to include random items such as a coffee mug or a tote.

Jewelry only: Chic Peek, House of Gemmes, JewelBox, JewelMint, LucidBox, Mynt Box

Stunner of the Month is specifically sunglasses

Twistband is specifically hair ties

Let's see...oh, hosiery: discover Pique and Haute Legs; there's also Pink Beryl (Canadian)

...that's all I can think of right now.

1.  The tee shirt construction is a fabric called "burn-out", it is one of the most popular knitting effects at the moment and is more expensive than just a plain cotton jersey knit.  Also, the screen print is embellished with rhinestuds as opposed to a one color screen.  All told the value of the shirt is $29 at retail. 
"Burnout" isn't so much a fabric as a technique where a multi-fiber fabric is exposed to a chemical solvent applied in a pattern to create a design.  It's more traditionally used with silk/rayon blend velvets or satins where the pattern is created by dissolving the rayon with a sodium bisulfate gel, but it looks like burnout jersey is generally polyester/rayon.  (Dharma trading has a section of fabrics intended to be used for burnout along with the chemicals and info on the process, if you're interested.  No jersey, though, they don't do polyester.  Although come to think of it, if I came across a silk/rayon blend jersey intended to be usable for burnout, I'd jump on it.)  Definitely not a "knitting effect."

Did that e-mail remind anybody else of Crazy Amy yelling "Those frozen raviolis we tried to pass off as fresh are delicious!  They are high quality and they are delicious and people order them all of the time and love them!"?

So what did you think about the sizing?  Your blog review says that you thought they were "true to size" but on their size chart I seem to be right on the edge between the larger medium size and the smaller large size.  And as it looks like their underwear wouldn't reach actual waist level, and usually doesn't get down to full hip level (on a pear shape, anyway) I'm not exactly sure how to interpret the measure mints.  So I hit the "subscribe" link and now I'm stuck on the "choose your size" page. 

(In my defense, I sew and haven't actually bought any clothing besides socks in several years.)

Also, sometimes Amazon.com has some styles of the Ozone socks for at least 50% off.

it is not a "sub" but I did get some Ozone wool socks I wanted for $9 when on Ozone's site they were $30+

Not what I originally came here to post about today......

---------------------

But my post is about Lightbox Beauty Club.

Their "bonus" items that are L'oreal and Revlon or whatever- they posted on their FB last week that is was items they were getting from wholesale deals and not through L'oreal themselves.

So any of the extra items they might send out will most likely be discontinued or limited/closeout stuff.

On their FB page they do have a pic of the $20 a month box and I know the L'oreal HIP eyeshadows are discontinued or what was sold last year or the year before.

Still seems like a ok value, but not too sure.

I just saw this!  I would probably size up!  I wouldn't want my underwear too tight or anything you know??

I got a Skoshbox today.  What a fun little box!  It's brand new and is Japanese candies and other goodies.  I would LOVE a subscription like this for all foreign candy!

That looks like a great snack box to introduce yourself to Japanese treats! I love Hi-Chew (the small, individually wrapped foils in the lower left side of your box), Koala March (foil bag in the right side of the your box), Orange bubble gum (small square box in lower left-middle of your box) and Shoyu Senbei (the circular baked rice cracker).

I may stalk the box contents for this subscription box and just buy the goodies from one of the local Asian markets here in NYC.

The Haichu's were really good.  What flavor do you think the green was is??  We couldn't figure it out.  LOL!  I REALLY liked the Koala March.  They remind me of the Happy Panda ones, but better!

I love the idea of this box! I might have to add it to my "back burner" list!

THANK YOU for posting about Volupties! I have been looking for a plus sized panty sub. It's a bit expensive for me, but shoot, I'll try it out for a few months and build up my cute undie collection.

Yup.  I received this one to review today as well, and I kept going through it thinking. "Ooh, love this one.  Ooh, haven't had this one for a couple of years.  Ooh, I haven't tried this flavor yet."

In the US, I've seen the following Hi-Chew flavors: Banana, Green Apple, Grape, Mango, Melon, Peach and Strawberry. Just based on the color of the foil package, I'd guess that it was either green apple or melon. However, I'm not sure if there are other flavors available in Japan.

Yes, I completely agree about the Koala March being superior chocolate-filled cookies (compared to Happy Panda)!

I can't tell from the photo, but it looks like it might be soda. It looks blue to me, and blue usually means a specific flavor of soda (Ramune) when it comes to Japanese candy.  Was it kind of lemon-lime?

I'm glad that you both received a great snack box to review! This box makes me nostalgic for Asian treats...

Although I will admit that I bought a couple bags & a few sticks/packs of Hi-Chew at Daiso (a Japanese $1.50 store) while we were on vacation in San Francisco last week...and I just finished the stick of green apple flavored Hi-Chew...

I was just contacted to review a new DIY beauty subscription - Kismet Box.

For $22/month they will send a kit to make your own beauty products with step-by-step instructions, and enough materials to make a few spares for friends/family.

Their official beta launch is in July.

Someone just posted their first Volupties box on Reddit earlier and it was less than impressive for the price. They received 2 pairs of Victoria's Secret panties and one pair from Frederick's of Hollywood. While the panties themselves were cute, they are also 5/$25 on VS and Frederick's websites. Not to mention the fact that VS does not allow their products to be sold by resellers from what I understand so that's kind of shady.
