If I knew I had a chance of getting a Color Club nail polish I wouldn't have picked the curated box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And thats a really pretty red too
I think Ipsy is hurting too. It's hard to tell if anyone is actually doing well in a saturated market. This might be why Sephora Play just got pushed to 2017. I also kept hearing Katia or one of the big shots implying that they actually want to move away from being a subscription sampling business.
So would this mean that it turns into stores like Sephora and Ulta (with both an online shop and physical stores)? I kind of like getting samples in the mail to try before I buy something. I wonder how the other subscription box companies (GlossyBox, Allure, PopSugar, etc) are doing.I was expecting this from all those new physical stores and in house brands /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
When the co-founder (co-CEO) Hayley Barna was stepping down last year, I heard it was because of the vision conflict between her and Katia. Probably Hayley was the one who was passionate about subscription part.
I don't think I have the self discipline for that! And I'd be scared to hope for the best and get disappointed. I like being able to research how I feel about a product because it usually improves my excitement for something I'd otherwise be like 'why'd you send me this?'.My box shipped.

I will be really upset if BB stops sample boxes, too.So would this mean that it turns into stores like Sephora and Ulta (with both an online shop and physical stores)?

I got this nail polish. I get nail polish all the time in my BB and I don't even wear nail polish. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />If I knew I had a chance of getting a Color Club nail polish I wouldn't have picked the curated box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And thats a really pretty red too
I usually get it every time they send it out too but I went and picked the curated this time because it has an occ lip tar and the cynthia rowley brightener that I love. Oh well, maybe they might send it my way next month or I might find a trade for it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />I got this nail polish.

Reminds me of a survey they* sent a few months ago. I don't remember the particulars, but some of the questions implied they were considering a Popsugar style of box - lifestyle boxes that include beauty + other items.I will be really upset if BB stops sample boxes, too.
I think other boxes are not doing too well either. Today I received an email from Escape Monthly that they are discontinuing, so sad to see good subscription boxes disappear :/
I have a feeling Ipsy and Birchbox will stop doing boxes/bags. Not because they're "doing bad" but because they're focus will shift to something new. I'd be bummed but I have SO MUCH stuff I could stop getting these and still have plenty of makeup/skin care/nail polish/hair care to last a life time.I will be really upset if BB stops sample boxes, too.

I'd be so bummed!! I don't want a lifestyle box. I like my Birchbox exactly how it is. I don't want a lifestyle box either. If I did, I'd subscribe to one. Maybe they could offer that instead of the curated but I really hope they just keep adding new products and such to their current monthly box program.I have a feeling Ipsy and Birchbox will stop doing boxes/bags.

I know how annoying this situation is :/Warning: this post contains gratuitous petty grouchiness.
So one of my boxes was showing delivery today, but I was skeptical since we're having a mini-blizzard in the northeast today. But despite the odds, the post office came through...
...and delivered it to the wrong mailbox.
Merhh. The tracking on usps shows it was delivered today "in/at mailbox," but when I went to check the mail, there was no box. I live in an apartment complex where the buildings look the same, and sometimes I've received mail for the "Apt. 6" residents of another building in the block. I kinda hope that's what happened, and that whoever received it erroneously will just bring it to my building. But because my life is a never-ending opportunity for farcical performance, OF COURSE this is the box that gets delivered in my cat's name.
Haha I didn't think to do a cat. I did one with the way I spell my name and have since I was like 7 (Sarra) and one legally with my middle name included (Sarah Carol) so I can tell my subscriptions apart. I hope you get your box. That would be so disappointing!Warning: this post contains gratuitous petty grouchiness.
