MONTHLY SURPRISE BEAUTY BOXES

Those that subscribe to the monthy beauty boxes  (not only Q), do you find enough products in each, that you'll use, to make them a good "investment"? Do you get "stuck" with items that get gifted?

I get them from Birch Box and yes you always have something you won't use. I collect them and donate to a nursing home near me. I do enjoy the box and have got addicted to so many new products.

I discontinued mine. I was getting 2 different ones. I was getting too much stuff I didn't use.

I get the one from Macy's and I have been more pleased than displeased....There usually is one itme that I won't use, and between my two daughters and two sisters, I can usually find a taker! One month, we received a Mini Flat Iron, which was really nice!

 

It is only 15.00 a month, so for now I will stick with it. I enjoy the samples, but one thing I do find is that almost every month there is some kind of mask, and now I probably have about 20 of them to use up or give away.....Must be a cheap filler......

I got Ipsy for probably 2 years.  I did enjoy a lot of the items but many were things I did not use.  But in their defense, I do have such sensitive skin that I hesitated to use some things.  I did not let anything go to waste though.  I gave many items to family members.  One day I gathered up the whole lot and put them in a big basket and took them to work.  The ladies had a fabulous time picking out their items!  This box was only $12 per month.  I don't know if the price has gone up since I last received it.

Is the one from Macy's mostly samples or do you get full size products, too?  I didn't realize that Macy's had a beauty box.  Does the $15 include S&H?  Thanks!

@AngelPuppy1 Hi! Yes, it does sometimes include full size products, but usually one one. There are a lot of perfume samples as well as mask samples, and it is free shipping! I have been for the most part enjoying mine. But its the only Beauty Box I subscribe to, so I don't have anything to compare it to.

Thank you!  You might enjoy Ipsy.  You can really personalize it and pick different brands, too!
