Subscription Boxes

What subscription boxes do you currently subscribe to?

I currently have one to Nature Box and love it. Now I'm looking to do a Beauty one but wanted some feedback on which to choose. Does anyone have any experience with any of the following: Popsugar, Birchbox, Ipsy, Lip Monthly or Boxycharm? Or any others I may be interested in that you receive and love.Chat Icon

Re: Subscription Boxes

I do Stitch Fix, but I'm thinking of cancelling - their choices for me are eh, and their prices are $$$

I tried Pop Sugar Must Have and HATED it.

I also just tried Julep, and while the stuff was cute, I'm not sure its worth $24.99... but I did like that you can have the option of customizing your box every month if you don't like what they've auto selected for you.

I recently canceled my Ipsy subscription after a year. I was mostly happy with it and got a lot of great products. I canceled b/c they like to give mascara a lot and I don't wear it and also b/c I decided to sign up for Citrus Lane (baby products) instead.

Re: Subscription Boxes

I had birchbox but, I felt that I was getting more products than makeup. I am pretty loyal to origins so I wasn't interested in what they were sending. I wanted more to play with colors and makeup. So I got Ipsy. I have been very happy with it.

Re: Subscription Boxes

I subbed to a few: Ipsy, Birchbox, Glossybox and a food one (name escapes me but its $5/week and its a snack box w nuts, granola, etc).
I cancelled all of them after a while just because I had too many products piling up in my bathroom half used or un-used.

ipsy and birchbox are basically the same- Ipsy has more face and makeup while birchbox just threw in a few random products like hair ties, candy, etc. Ipsy gives you the free makeup bag every month.

Glossybox was the best IMHO but it costs $22-23/month. I got some great samples from them, even a full size Kerastase shampoo or conditioner hair product one month. Each box has at least1 items that retails for a pricey sum..my fave was Oscar De La Renta perfume samples. I cancelled last month because the last 2 boxes had hand creams I didnt care for (i have wayy too many hand creams!)

There is a blog online from a lady who subbed to every box that exists..i think the URL is "mysubscriptionaddiction.com" (or just google the ohrase, its very popular).
