Hello Lovelies!!! So today I have for you a review of three beauty subscription services! I am sure many of you have heard of them before and are possibly subscribers as well, but I wanted to offer my opinion on three of the most talked about services here. You can also check out my YouTube reviews on each of these here.
First up is Birchbox. This is one of the first subscription services I have ever heard of. It's a $10 a month service that sends you several samples, some are deluxe size and some are more one time use size. You take a survey on their site and supposedly they send you samples based on the results of your survey. The box I got was the Gossip Girl box. Now, I do not watch that show, but I do know what it is so I was excited to see what I got. And in all honesty I was pretty let down. I got a nail polish, some skin care and some other stuff that wasn't really that impressive. So after noodling it over for a couple of weeks I decided to cancel my subscription as I just felt that it wasn't really worth my money each month. I was bummed because I know a lot of people really like it but based on this box alone I just felt like it wasn't for me. You can see what I got in my box and hear more about it here.
Second on this list is Beauty Army. I was so, so, so very excited about this service and you can see my review on it here. I had seen so many videos and reviews on this service and thought it was going to be so awesome and that I would get all these great things....and I was. really. disappointed. Beauty Army is also a monthly subscription service and this one is $12 per month, and the unique part about this service is that you take a profile quiz and are offered samples based on that. But YOU get to pick six samples out of like 12 or something that YOU want. Well I got my selections and I was pretty underwhelmed. It was like the crap leftover selections at the local beauty counter. I had body wash, lotion and perfume and that was it. LAME! I picked a few out anyway and thought I would just try to remain optimistic, but then the box came and it was even more boring. The box it self (pictured above) is adorable - it's pink camo on the inside. But the samples just were not great. I haven't used them all yet but seriously I really felt let down. With this subscription service you can skip a month if there's nothing you want, so I haven't cancelled this service...yet. I get to view new samples next week and then I'll make a decision to either skip or to cancel.
And last but for surely not least...MyGlam's Glam Bag!!! This was the first service I actually subscribed to and I have to tell you, I LOVE IT!! It's a $10 a month service and you get a make up bag each month filled with deluxe to full sized products in it. The only thing that bums me out is all the bags pile up and it's like what do I do with them lol! But seriously I have gotten some great products from here. Lip sticks from NYX, eyeliner from Urban Decay, concealer from Murad, and skin care from Philosophy. There have been a few things that I wasn't too amped about but mostly this service continues to impress and amaze me. My bag has easily been worth $10 or more each month. There was a month where I skipped my bag due to error in payment info, but I fixed it and got back on track. Of the three I have tried I highly recommend this one, hands down! You can watch my review on this month's bag here.
What do you guys think? Do you subscribe to any of these? What have your experiences been? I'd love to know :-)
