Off and on, I've considered subscribing to a beauty box because who doesn't love getting a surprise in the mail?  Then I realize that since I'm so particular about what I use (and I have no one to give unwanted products to) it makes more sense to just buy the products I'll actually use.  Fun concept though.

I tried Birch Box first, then dropped & went to Ipsy, but found I was giving away all the items to family so dropped it. My daughter does BoxyCharm which is $21 monthly but really good & most full size items, many boxes totalling over $100 so think it's a better choice.

@Novemberbaby, I have heard BoxyCharm and Glossy Box are good, but at $21 each more pricey than others.

Myself and a co-worker subscribe to Macy's and love it!  I have received some very nice products and have gone on to purchase full size of some of them. It is 15.00 a month and it is very nice and with each order you get a makeup bag as well. I am also interested in Sephora's......

I had both Sephora Play and Allure for quite awhile. I decided to drop my Play box and I signed up for Self Expression box instead after seriously consdering them for a year.

I used to get them too and then they suddenly stopped.  I have so many people ask me how they can get small amounts of Amazing Grace especially.

 

I end up giving close friends the large bottles of the lotion and soap!

 

I'd love to be able to give them much, much smaller bottles of the stuff.

 

They always tell me how amazing (sorry, couldn't resist) I smell.  It's crazy how many people (in Drs offices, on the street, etc) comment on the smell.

 

Also, it's good for travel.  I don't use all of the things in the box but it was fun to get them and give them to my teenage granddaughters.

 

It would be amazing (again, sorry) to be able to pick a few of the products QVC sells and get them in small travel sizes.  Can you imagine?  I'd be willing to pay for that.

I also know that for a while QVC had try me boxes called TILI( TRY IT LOVE IT)N ot sure if they still have them, but it was a really nice way to try some new products without paying full price!

I canceled my subscription to IPSY  I also received products not good for me, such as glittery no name eyeshadow, blush which was so powdery and also had glitter.  I eventually cancelled.  The only thing I did like were the cute little bags that came with the product.

I have ordered many of the ones listed on this board and canceled them after a couple months---got mostly matte lipsticks which are horrible and tons of mascara--I must have 20 different ones. Lots of things for acne, and enlarged pores, of which I have none and alot of nasty perfumes. I ended up throwing most of it away so it really was a waste for me.
