Square Hue: https://www.makeuptalk.com/t/131748/square-hue-january-2013

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.

I found both of those threads after I posted.  Oops.  Not much on NAS except that they doubled their price after the first month.

Graze has opened in the US, the deliver snack boxes for $5 a piece, with 4 different "healthy" snacks. Unlike a lot of the sample boxes, they allow for allergy information to dictate what you get. 

Check em out!

They are doing a free first box and free 5th box. Its by invite only right now, but for every person you get to sign up you can donate $1 to a charity, very very cool!

Edit: Referral link removed.

Wow!  Thanks for sharing this sub gypsiemagic.  It's a really grea box!  I just might try it. I'm trying to eat healthier snacks.

 

[Deenellie]

I just signed up!  TY

Here's  another monthly Healthy snack sub: It's called Peckish.  $14.99 a month (first month is discounted to $9.99)

You get 3 Full-sized packages (16+ servings) of nutritionist-approved healthy and delicious snacks.  Peckish also lets you pick the type of snacks you want and the frequency you want them delivered.   Now that's attractive!

Let us know if you're subbing and what you think?

My first my brown box came in. One product alone was worth the $20 I paid to get the box while another product was worth $15.

I actually just received my first Peckish box today! I picked the sweet tooth box, and got 3 awesome bags of wholesome snack foods. I also opted to receive the box every 2 weeks.

Awww!  So tell us what you think about Peckish?

I'd love to support them, but I'm not so interested skin-care and makeup.  So it might be a wast of $$.  Could you give us a descrption of what you received.  I see a Curls label in the pic.  I like their products.  Are you familiar with the Curls line?

The only makeup in the box was the lipstick from Lip Bar. I got a full sized nude lip color in 'ginger and tonic' worth $20

I also received Shea Terra rose hips black soap, cocoa body butter (organic + gives my skin a lot of sheen), rahua conditioner and shampoo (2 packets), a notepad, a sample lip gloss and a hair growth/scalp stimulating elixir (the curl thingie).

I didn't get the card that comes with the items so this is the best description I could give you.  Some of the brands were featured in birchbox already (shea terra and rahua).

The box is valued at at least $40-50.  It's a great deal to me!

A new sub alert: Rad Nails – Nail Art Monthly Service.  Now how many of these could you possibly go through?  But I digress.

Every month you’ll receive a set of 20 stick-on nail wraps, a nail file, cuticle stick, step-by-step instructions, and, of course, out-of-this-world nail designs. Pick either a 3 or 6 month subscription, pay the one-time fee, and sit back and wait for the radness to roll in!â€

The cost is $16.67 a month and you can choose the 3-month $50 or 6-month plan $100.  They have international shipping as well.

Great for nail care afficionados!

Nail Art Society sounds better than that.  At least it sends out polish and other items besides nail stickers.

Here's another new sub called Healthy Surprise.  First we were inundiated with the "Time of the Month" subs; now it's the healthy snacks subs.

Healthy Surprise, new snacks delivered every month.  They offer vegan, gluten free, natural and soy free snacks.  Healthy Surprise sends you a box every month filled with NEW FULL SIZE snacks that you are 110% guaranteed to love.

They offer (3) snack box options: Starter box $33 a month + 6.99 shipping, Healthy box $66 a month + free shipping or Large box $99 a month + free shipping.  Kinda pricey in my opinion.

You know I love to try new subs, but the $30 and above, I really have to think twice and really believe it's going to be great. 

Off topic; The one sub I tried over $30, was PopSugar Must Have (had a discount coupon).  They were all the rave from the blogs!  I gifted myself a December box. Tried for November, but they sold out quickly.   

Really impressed with the presentation, the quality & size of the contents (full-sized). I wasn't particularly excited about the box; didn't hate it though; glad I checked it out for myself.   But my pocket book can't handle that monthly.  Quarterly is another story like Yuzen!  Thrilled about them, love them and I subbed!

 I'm really glad I didn't sub to PopSugar, cause I would've been extremely disappointed in the January box.  Not my kinda thing!

Anyway, let us know if you've subbed to Healthy Surprise.  I'm afraid unless they're offering a free box to try, I won't be trying it.

Stay tuned!

I don't think I will be trying this sub out since I just signed up for Graze.. But if anyone is interested in it you should check out Plum District.. They have a $20 Off Any Monthly Subscription to Healthy Surprise promo going on.

Is Brownbox another incarnation of My Shade of Brown? I was not impressed with MSB.

It's not created by the same people as MSB. My brown box costs $20 and they give bigger sizes of samples. I posted a pic of the first mbb a few posts ago in this thread.  Why were you not impressed by MSB?

I got a bunch of foil packets.

Kind of what I thought.

I do not have these subs here and doubt I'd sign up.

But I think it is easier to go to drugstore.com or for me well.ca (canadian equivalent) and just order whatever "feminine items" I need and just add my own extras like chocolate,soaps and just get all regular size items.

or there is always Amazon subscribe and save.

New Women's subscrption box alert!   Le Parcel – Women’s Monthly Subscription Boxes.  http://www.leparcel.com/

Just what we need, another "time of the month" subscription box.  Since October, they've been (3) new women's monthly box subs that I know about; this makes (4).

28 day hug $5.98 (tried & cancelled,) Cotton Bunny $13.75 (tried & cancelled,not worh it) Juniper $28 (deifnitely didn't try) and now Le Parcel  $15 (wont' try.)

I mean we're going to be swimming in tampons and pads unless you share them.  How can you really justify the price?  They all pretty much offer the same things; pads, tampons of your choosing, chocolate & tea, a spa tablet, treats, snacks and a special gift. 

28 day hug doesn't offer tampons or pads, but everything else, My Cotton Bunny does and some article of clothing, Juniper offers the same plus snacks & treats (they appear to be generous,) and Le Parcel, everything plus a special gift.

Perhaps some of you can go through all of that in a month, certainly the chocolate (they're stingy with it,) the tea well, if you like and drink tea everyday I quess, spa gift, I get those montly with my other subs.

What's so special?  Sorry for the rant but.....Your thoughts please.........  Inquiring minds want to know.

Another new sub in the food/ drink category I recently heard of is Tea Sparrow - if you are a tea lover... It operates out of Canada (ships also to US) and seems on the smaller side, targeting a more niche customer base. While I'm not obsessed with tea, their combinations do sound delicious...
