Especially Birchbox - a lot were one-time-use samples that I started to find annoying. The best, and only subscription I have at this time, is Ipsy. The products are big and they are fun. I've wanted to try an Urban Decay Glide on Pencil for a long time - and the other month I received one in my Ipsy bag!Jennifer Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15804580065383334527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-76737078021555207912013-02-07T17:07:28.549-08:002013-02-07T17:07:28.549-08:00I had Birchbox for two years and just cancelled it...I had Birchbox for two years and just cancelled it. I didn't like the perfume samples and how tiny some were. I did get some really awesome products that I love and have repurchased but I want more makeup instead of the other stuff. I signed up for ipsy and so far I really liked both boxes. I will see how it goes but if I like the others as much as this month's than I know I made the right choice.Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192719145072813645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-16997045545743846962013-02-07T16:55:01.682-08:002013-02-07T16:55:01.682-08:00My favorites are also Ipsy/MyGlam and Julep.

The point is you get to try deluxe products. I have received eye cream and face cream, BB cream, mini-philosophy... Since full size items are sometimes 100$+, it is a good way to try some of the more deluxe products. The tiny eye cream sample was fantastic and lasted at least a month.OLENAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005406721899510990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-45607229134854001252013-02-07T11:37:49.495-08:002013-02-07T11:37:49.495-08:00I LOVE Julep, it's so great that you can see e...I LOVE Julep, it's so great that you can see exactly what you're getting everything month (minus the bonus surprise), can switch up styles, can add on different colors, and I LOVE the option to skip! I wish more services would take after them. I have also gotten Birchbox for a while now, it isn't the best IMO, but it's always usable stuff & occasionally you get an awesome high value item. I also really make use of their reward program so I see it as really more like $5 a month than $10...it's how I got my Clarisonic for $30!!!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14347533203117121095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-84437482545152570462013-02-07T09:10:39.081-08:002013-02-07T09:10:39.081-08:00I did birchbox for 1 year.

I've always gotten a full size item (or a ginormous sample size that is as big as some full sized products). I feel that they have always been pretty much tailored to me. But I seem to be in the minority when it comes to loving Birchbox!<br /><br />I do like their points system, too.

Three full-sized (0.5 ounce) nail polishes, not minis, in square bottles that don't threaten to tip over. I didn't want a bunch of samples like shampoo and conditioner and was only interested in nail polish. I've gotten the January and February boxes so far and love them -- the collections are themed but you don't know what the colors are ahead of time, and I like the surprise. The cost is $21 a month which included shipping, and you can suspend or cancel any time. I was able to sign up at an introductory reduced rate that's good for the life of my subscription. :-DSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970082278033913539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-50953868367929521752013-02-07T07:18:38.488-08:002013-02-07T07:18:38.488-08:00Just ordered my 1st Julep box using the "penn...Just ordered my 1st Julep box using the "penny" code - thanks!!!!Amy Jahnkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09222217070648425433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-38817248539536823502013-02-07T03:15:11.978-08:002013-02-07T03:15:11.978-08:00Ihave been Birchboxing it (as my husband calls it)...Ihave been Birchboxing it (as my husband calls it) for a couple of years and every once in a while I am disapointed and I think to cancel but I don't and then the next one is awesome.

It really is worth the $20 a month, though. The brands and deluxe sample or full size products in the boxes would cost WAY more than $20. <br /><br />I loved Birchbox's points system, but the samples were just way too small even for $10/month + added value from points. My last few months were just foil packets with perfume samples, hair ties or Luna bars as my "big" product. It's hard to properly sample a product with a one time use foil packet to go off of!nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507520639125778061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-54766651228379556332013-02-06T19:57:29.058-08:002013-02-06T19:57:29.058-08:00Im new to this type of service I will only be reci...Im new to this type of service I will only be recieving my first box this month. I am subscribed to the nail art society box. What I like about it is that I can try different brands and looks without having to invest in a ton if i dont like it. It looks like you recieve enough accessories to replicate the look 2-3 times so you can get a feel for if you like it or not. Some looks like studs I dont want to do all the time but they are fun to try and I dont want to put money into supplies I wont even use half of. <br /><br />Another perk for me is that I live in a place devoid of Sephora's and Ulta's so if i cant get it at target, wal-mart, or ross I have to order it. Shipping is a pet peeve of mine and with some things I want to see it in person.

Glossybox is ...I get Birchbox, Ipsy, and Glossybox. Glossybox is probably my favorite because the samples are good sizes and there's always at least one full size item in there, sometimes two, and they're quality brands. My first month I got a really lovely Illamasqua polish in a silvery metallic. I've only had Ipsy for one month but it was a really good month - there was nothing in the box I didn't like! I'm looking forward to next month. Birchbox is hit or miss; sometimes I really like the products, sometimes I don't, and they always throw in these stupid tiny perfume samples you can get for free other places, plus I don't wear perfume so they're useless to me. But there's no way to opt out of those. I'd recommend Ipsy to anyone, Glossybox if you have a bigger budget. rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240825520311489147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-19904154157476742012013-02-06T17:37:15.274-08:002013-02-06T17:37:15.274-08:00I have been a Birchbox subscriber for almost two y...I have been a Birchbox subscriber for almost two years now! I think the best beauty box depends on what you want from it. For me, I wanted to try up and coming beauty brands and learn more about beauty products by trying them. By far, Birchbox succeeds at doing this. Especially because they use a personal profile filled with detailed information that helps them determine what they send you. I have also subscribed to Ipsy (or as it was, MyGlam) but I felt that service included products that weren't really suited to my taste. The bags are adorable though. Overall, if you want to discover new products right away, Birchbox is the way to go! The Birchbox Man is excellent as well.

Very high quality, they always throw in extra things and the wrapping is always cute. I'd take a look. Oh yeah, with each box you buy, you may purchase 2 extra polishes of your choice for 4.99 each. In addition you accumulate JULES (points) for every two boxes you purchase, you can get one of the add on's for free!Auntie Creatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07749811767309134709noreply@blogger.com
