Do you subscribe to any beauty boxes?

[katespade]

I used to get Birchbox, but cancelled because I didn't feel like I got anything great.

Now I get Ipsy, which I like much better. There's always at least one thing in each bag that I really like. Plus, I like to reuse the bags themselves, too.

I subscribe to julep which is a nail polish and beauty box. I mostly use it for nail polish.

I can skip any time I want and I usually do. I only get a box or two a year. They changed the rules recently and I think you only have a certain number of skips per year but I am grandfathered in to the old rules.

suzv - I recently sorted through my old bags and tossed the things I was never going to use, and I couldn't believe how much had piled up!

I do Birchbox. I've bought 2 perfumes from them and a bb cream.

I wish! I love receiving goodies in the mail. I rarely use samples though so it would probably be a waste. Can you tell me more about Ipsy?


A few years ago I got a goodies box with snacks and drinks. It was amazing, but they went out of business

Probably not the same stream, but I've been contemplating using Dollar Shave Club for razors. I'll only do it if they give a bi-monthly delivery option because I'll end up with a stock pile of razor blades!

amaranth - What I like about Ipsy is that most of them are samples but there are usually also full sized products, too. I just got my March bag and there was a full sized lipstick, a full sized eye shadow and an eye shadow brush, along with two sample sized products.

I did get a hand lotion from Birchbox once that I loooooooved. That was the only product I ever considered buying, though.

That sounds fun. I could re-gift items I wouldn't use. How much is it per month?

My hubby does this. He loves it! I've used the razors and they are so nice and the price rocks

suzv : I Googled it and I guess you have to complete an order before changing it. I think that's rather counter-intuitive.
ETA: I had emailed them about it this morning and they've already got back to me. I'm impressed with that.

Glad to see women do like them travelbug .

Oh and i bought shampoo and cond. The perfumes were the only really expensive things, but did me it was worth it.

@opal and travelbug I keep seeing ads on FB for the shave club. What is the deal with it? Do people need that many razors? I don't change my mine very often (maybe every 6 weeks?) so I don't understand the need. Maybe I am doing it wrong though. lol.

[katespade]

amaranth - I read something recently that recommended changing your razor blades every 3-5 uses.


Dude. No. That's ridiculous. My entire paychecks would go toward razors.

Woo-hoo! When I get those Ipsy prompts I always post to Facebook and then immediately delete the posts. Haha.

amaranth: Depending on my laziness level and cheapness, I change blades once every 1-2 months. I figure at $6.50 CAD for 4 blades & a handle, I can afford to change it twice a month. It would definitely increase the quality of my shaves lol. BUT I'm also tempted to ask them if I can skip months so it would be every three months or something.
I'm assuming the people who need their blades changed often are shaving more than 1-2 times/week (my average atm).

DH and I do this. We each have a handle, and I subscribe to 1 4-pack of blades each month. it allows us to use them without creating a major stockpile. SO much better than any other blades we've used, since they're cheap enough that I don't mind tossing the blades after like 3 uses. So I almost always have a nice clean shave.
