You mentioned fitbox being free? I just googoled them and it's looking like they're $10/month to sample different fitness supplements (something I'd totally love as a triathlete and marathon runner!) It says fitbox but is at myplatinumbox.com, am I looking at the right one? Thanks!!!

Right website, and there was a promo code that made it free, not sure if the code is still valid

 
Does anybody get CraveBox? I saw box openings for it on YouTube in May, and it looked really great, but I haven't seen anything else about it. Nobody I'm subscribed to on YouTube did a CraveBox May Review or anything. I am kind of disappointed because I want to see what they thought of the products that came in the box. I will probably search on YouTube for May 2012 CraveBox review in a little bit. Is CraveBox worth the price? I am considering trying it out.

I have been on the waitlist for about 2 months now, so if you are considering joining, I would suggest you get on the waitlist now. You can still decide later not to subscribe (when they invite you to).

 
I have Birchbox, Glossybox, Influenster and Julep currently, but I have also done BeautyArmy and MyGlam.

First of all I am a polish freak so saying Julep is my fav is pretty easy. But I can't really just say that it is. I do love getting polish most of all in any subscription. Why I said Julep is because you can choose which box you want, can add on other colors and skip if you want to. You can't say that about a lot of other boxes. What makes me hesitant to say it's my favorite is because it's just polish and sometimes i want more variety.

I don't want to really weight in on Glossybox just yet as the company just started here in the US and I have only gotten one box.

Birchbox is my fav right now out of monthly beauty boxes that have a mixture of nail, skin and makeup. Sometimes the boxes are hit or miss, but they have more quality products than either BeautyArmy or MyGlam had. I also love their point system. Each box you are pretty much getting 5 bucks back.

I do love influenster. It's free in the sense of money, but you do have to work for your box and you don't get every one. I understand why and my first box had great products. It's a great service for those who can't afford a monthly one.

I got julep for one month but cancelled because I started using the gelish system, so I have no use for regular polishes anymore. They do seem to be really nice polishes though, and I liked their pedi cream! I like birchbox a lot and did the same as you: cancelled BA and MG.  I just joined glossybox and have been stalking my email account waiting for a shipping confirmation! I'll definitely be excited to see if glossybox lives up to the rave! As far as influenster, I joined a while back and have been doing all the surveys/badges I can and am not getting boxes... Guess it's just luck of the draw?

 
Have you checkod out klutchclub? Theres a thread about it and some of us have gotten the April, May and now June boxes. Its 18.00 a month but so far the boxes are worth the money.

You can also google it to find reviews.

 I went to their site and looked up what they included in the past month's boxes, I really like what I see!!! Too bad the gift cards are to fairly expensive websites. Guess that's the point though, get you spending more money!! :D /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I really like that it's natural and fitness-focused samples though, thanks for the heads up!! Might have to do that one!

I don't have cravebox but have looked into them. They seem a bit like MG, you don't really know which month's you'll get something killer and others will probably be duds,,, Their first month had laundry stuff, markers, snacks.... Its more of a variety but you can get samples of the home stuff pretty easily (like I get a lot of free samples from freeflys.com, all home stuff, body care or snacks. Granted you may have to wait a couple months to receive them, but hey, its free!) If you're looking for a variety box, I've heard AWESOME things about conscious box. A bit more expensive, but I've been told you get a ton of stuff and a great variety. 

 
This is my first month and I signed up for:

My Glam

Test Tube

Conscious

Julep Maven (only one I've rec'd so far and I love the introductory kit)

Beauty Army

and I'm waiting for an invitation from Birchbox.

 
I subscribe to Birchbox and Eco-Emi, and recently added New Beauty Testtube but haven't received my first one yet. 

I've got to say, I like Birchbox and Eco-Emi equally well.  I think both are quality, and I've discovered items from each that I've gone on to purchase and enjoy using.

Yup it was free; not sure if it still is though, sorry! It was sent in a white box that said "myplatinumbox". Honestly, most of the things in there were energy-drink/supplements, which I can't have because of some heart issues. They also sent a pack of what I can only assume is knock-off version of Viagra haha. I'm giving the box to one of my guy friends; the only thing I kept out of it was a chocolate protein bar! I think it'd be a good man-box for guys that are into weigh-lifting and things like that; it's really not geared towards women whatsoever.Nonetheless, I thought it was very kind they sent them out for people to try. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
I have Glossybox, Birchbox, and just resubbed to Myglam. I did have Sample Society and Beauty Army but cancelled those. I'll probably sign back up at different times. I like bouncing around between certain subs that way I get something different each month but my "tried and true" subs are Glossybox and Birchbox.

 
I have Birchbox and a monthly sub to perfumesforabuck.com. I just got my first set of perfume samples. It's $12.95 a month + $1.00 when they ship the samples, I think. I got 2 sets of samples. I was under the impressiin that I would get 1 set of 5 for June and not get the.other set of 5 until I was billed in July, but it looks like they billed me $13.95 on June 26 and again on June 29.

 
I have 2 birchbox subscriptions, 2 new beauty test tubes, qvc new beauty test tube, sample society, healthy surprise, and I just signed up for kara's way, 12society and the pop sugar must have bag.

12 society is definitely geared toward men, but they told me they have custom female boxes so I thought I'd give it a try!
 

 
I'm paring way down for the summer! I have canceled almost everything, and after the July box ships, I'll be canceling Birchbox, as well. I will be down to only Glossybox, Cravebox, and Little Black Bag.

I'll likely rejoin Birchbox and Sample Society in the future, but I need to take a hiatus.

I still have Birchbox and MyGlam and I have to say each month it's a toss up with which I'm in love with the most! I love the products that I get in each of them and I find myself reaching for products from both. I did pick Birchbox as my most favorite only because of the rewards program. I eventually want to save up for a Clarisonic Mia....

January: only had MyGlam

February: only had MyGlam

March: Birchbox won! 

April: Birchbox  won by a hair.

May: MyGlam

June:MyGlam

 
  • Birchbox
  • Glossybox
  • NewBeauty TestTube
  • Sample Society (July is my first month)

i bought the QVC TestTube last quarter but i don't know that i'll get it this quarter. 

i really liked the spring TestTubes but i'm not as excited about this quarter.  i have been happy with my BB each month for $10 though i do get box envy.

 
Does anyone know of any subscription services just for perfume samples?  I've only heard of PerfumesForABuck.com, which I signed up for in June, but after getting my samples, I'm not sure it's such a good deal.
