I skipped my Sample Society box this month and am thinking of just canceling for at least the next few months. I have been a subscriber since almost the beginning and have really enjoyed my boxes, but I am little tired of the same brands month after month. I like Ouidad and Murad, but I don't want to sample them every month. I used to use the 15.00 code every month too, but haven't in about 5 or 6 months. I just signed on to Beauty Bar and looked at all my past boxes. Nothing really thrills me. I think if the 2 Butter London's were in shades that I would use, I might have stayed with it. That is not Sample Society's fault, but I think I need a break.
Instead of Sample Society this month, I got the HSN Total Beauty sold on the HSN website. It is 19.95, but I went through MyPoints, and got the points plus a 5.00 off code so it was the same price as Sample Society. I really like most of the products in the box, and just used the 10.00 off code (and went through MyPoints again) to put towards a set of body care products.
I just posted on the HSN Total Beauty thread, but if anyone is interested in MyPoints, DM me and I will send you a link. We would both get 750 points. I sometimes use Ebates too and compare who has the better deal. This time is was MyPoints with the 5.00 off code plus the points. I now have enough points for a gift certificate to Old Navy - I love their yoga pants!
I have been a little less than enchanted with Birchbox lately too. I had 2 accounts, but am now down to one. I sometimes get the Beauty Sage sample boxes too, so I have a ton of samples to get through.
