So you pay $10 for samples shipped to your door (we always forget about the cost of shipping!) and a $5 credit for their online store. Honestly, even when I have less than stellar samples I don't cancel because it's not just about the samples, it's the whole service all-together. They're a genuine sampling service, where their main goal is to send people products from brands that we haven't tried/have wanted to try etc, and then give us credit so that we can buy full sizes of the items we sample. For all the complaints and harassment they get on their facebook, you would think people forget what they actually signed up for!
Sooooo true. I just used my 13 month anniversary code to get a $70 bottle of perfume and box of chocolate for free! It's the main reason I didn't qualify for VIB with Sephora, this year. They have some nice deluxe samples, sometimes, but they would never let me "earn" a free full sized bottle of perfume. That, and my beauty IQ has gone way up since I subscribed. I feel like my makeup and hair look 100% better than they did before, because I've found what works best for my skin, hair, and makeup.
December's box was kind of boring, for me, so I am really looking forward to January spoilers. That eyeshadow spoiler looked really dark.
