Getting a pretty box once a month does feel like a real treat :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2155474 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 08:31:31 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2155474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: those are the two i'm deciding between! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2155445 Fri, 24 Apr 2015 08:08:25 +0000 snowjewelz 2155445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: Since you love make-up I feel like you would like Glossybox or Sample Society! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2155128 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 21:36:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2155128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ok i did way too much research on this tonight. I'm looking for a high end box with more of a focus on makeup. </p> <p>- Birchbox ($10) tends to lean more towards skin/body/hair care than makeup, but they have an awesome points system for reviews/referrals which you can use towards products. Reviewers complain the samples are small.</p> <p>- Ipsy is a great value at $10 with more focus on makeup and larger sizes than Birchbox. Every month everything comes in a makeup bag, but the products are not as high end. </p> <p>- Glossybox is pricier at $21 but you get higher end products and much larger sizes than Birchbox. The beautiful packaging makes it feel like a treat.</p> <p>- Boxycharm is $21 and offers mostly full-sized products ranging from drugstore to mid-higher end lines. Seems to offer the most value.</p> <p>- Sample Society ($15) from Beautybar + Allure has larger samples/higher end brands.</p> <p>I think they all have their merits and I don't know which one to choose! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2154963 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 20:04:37 +0000 Tanjowen 2154963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: @Anya: Thanks for the links! I told DH I'm going to try Ipsy as my Mother's Day gift, so I'll post what I get! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2154556 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:51:21 +0000 Anya 2154556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's a site that reviews a ton of subscription boxes- beauty and other things. </p> <p><a href="http://www.everyonelovesatreasure.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.everyonelovesatreasure.com/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2154539 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:45:06 +0000 daisyfay 2154539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get Birchbox and Glossybox - I like both, but Glossybox is a much better value despite being more expensive. I've never gotten fewer than two full-size products in a Glossybox, and sometimes as many as four. Birchbox is OK but many of the sample sizes are tiny and sometimes I feel like I get the same brands over and over again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2154522 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:31:01 +0000 snowjewelz 2154522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This just popped up on my feed - </p> <p><a href="http://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/style/3-beauty-subscription-boxes-that-are-great-for-your-budget/" rel="nofollow">http://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/style/3-beauty-subscription-boxes-that-are-great-for-your-budget/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2154010 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:49:55 +0000 MediaNaranja 2154010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just canceled my Julep subscription (I like the products but NOT worth $25/month). Now you've all piqued my interest with Ipsy (seems more up my alley). Does anyone have a referral code?? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153992 Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:42:20 +0000 Keybee 2153992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't think I would like getting a beauty box but reading this post makes me want to try one!

Blue eye shadow and blackberry lipsticks aren't my thing (despite that I listed my preferences when I signed up) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153248 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 20:38:02 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2153248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a birchbox subscription as a gift. I didn't think I'd like it, but I do. The samples are good and I feel like I get a nice variety of things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153235 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 20:25:18 +0000 buttermilk 2153235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: No their stuff was always different and awesome! I just literally had way too many samples at one point and I wasn't going through them fast enough. But it's only $10/mo which is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153171 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 19:30:11 +0000 Tanjowen 2153171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I had never heard of Ipsy, but it looks great!</p> <p>@HLK208: Do you not like the items because they are too "out there?" I'm conservative in my makeup but want to try new things...but I know I'm not going to go crazy.</p> <p>@buttermilk: Did Birchbox send the same type of thing every month so you got too much of the same type of thing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153108 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:11:34 +0000 mrschickpea 2153108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have Ipsy and really love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153102 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:03:10 +0000 buttermilk 2153102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also had beauty box a long time ago. Full size products. And I loved it! But after a while I noticed them using the same brands over and over so I cancelled it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153101 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 18:02:06 +0000 buttermilk 2153101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had birchbox for a long while and loved it! I too suspended it bc I had accumulated so much, but Im thinking about signing up again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153038 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 16:34:32 +0000 HLK208 2153038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have ipsy which I only like 1 item every few months. But it's kind of worth it because I never would have bought that 1 item haha. I tried birchbox which I didn't care for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153022 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 16:22:22 +0000 Andrea 2153022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been enjoying Birchbox! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153021 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 16:21:19 +0000 youboots 2153021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Birchbox- but after a year and a half I suspended my subscription... So many samples. It's $10 a month and I think there is a waiting list. I found so many great products. It's also nice to have high quality samples to take with me when I travel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153007 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 16:01:50 +0000 whenoceansrise 2153007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have boxycharm and I absolutely love it! I've never been disappointed and you always get over $100 worth of products </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2153005 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 15:59:36 +0000 Imabee 2153005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also get Ipsy--I love it! I figured I'd cancel it if it were a bust but of the 5 monthly items, there are usually 2-3 things I end up using regularly. It's a great way to try new products and more than expected are full-size or larger than sample size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2152919 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 14:38:39 +0000 mediagirl 2152919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Ipsy and love it. I have found so many new brands and colors i never would have tried before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-beauty-box-subscription#post-2152911 Wed, 22 Apr 2015 14:32:27 +0000 Tanjowen 2152911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been looking into the monthly subscription beauty boxes. The one that seems to stand out is Glossy Box. Anyone subscribe to any beauty boxes and willing to share if it's worth it? </p>
