Do you subscribe to monthly beauty boxes?

HI:

As ususal, I am confused.

Why would you pay for products that you can receive for free at the beauty counter?

I no longer buy products I have not sampled first. In the case where there is no actual formal sample--they decant one for me.

Even the high end fragrances (aka Creed) have samples!

cheers--Sharon

Ipsy includes several full size products each month, along with sample sizes. This month we get a lip gloss that retails for $18 and a full size mascara along with some larger samples. Those two products alone make the flat $10 fee worth it.
Plus it's super fun to get a surprise each month!

I'm going to revive this thread. Were you all happy with your November boxes?

 

[StacylikesSparkles]

Yes. I got a cute little brown bag, a sample of eyebrow defining gel from chella, lip gloss from bare minerals, brown eyeliner from starlet, a sample matte eye shadow from the balm and a full sparkle nail polish from nailtini.

I emailed ipsy to ask about gift subscriptions. Apparently they are having a Black Friday deal, so check then of you're interested!

Sounds good!

I'm surprised to hear people got yucky stuff from Birchbox - band-aids, really?! I had Birchbox for over a year and LOVED it. Occasionally I would get things I don't use, so I enjoyed giving those to my future SIL and friends. But in every box there was always at least two things I really liked and used. Plus I keep sample sizes and trial things for traveling and so I love to have a whole stash. I stopped it when I was trying to rein in my budget, but now I'm sorry I did because there's a waiting list. BUT, I've never heard of Ipsy and I will have to look at that instead! There is also a clothing/accessories one that I read about on EatLiveRun.com but I forget the name. Heard great things about that one - you pay a small monthly fee, maybe $20, and then they send you clothes and accessories and shoes and you pay for whatever you want and send back whatever you don't. Like personal shopping delivered right to your door! Wish I'd thought of it first!

I got my Ipsy bag last week. I'm really pleased with the products that I received, especially for the price. I have been using the shadow and brow gel so far. I like the gloss but I'm really into my new Tarte lip tints for now. I will absolutely keep my subscription!

I subscribed to this on Monday so guess I'll get my first shipment in December. Never heard of Ipsy until I saw it here. Hope I get good stuff!
