Subscription boxes

I've been subscribed to ipsy since December and while there have been a few products that I'm not happy with it is still an amazing service.  You can't beat the value of $10/month (plus tax in some states, including NY) and I convinced a friend to try it out as well, sadly before they implemented their referral program ( ipsy referral link).  ipsy is currently my favorite subscription service.

I recently signed up for Birchbox as well.  I received my second box this month, but I'm still not sure how long I will stick with it.  One thing that I really like about Birchbox is that you can earn points both by referring friends and by reviewing products.  The points add up very quickly.  In 2 months I've earned 100 points which gives me $10 to spend on Birchbox.

I've also decided to give Glossybox a try.  I was actually subscribed to Glossybox for a few months last year while I was studying in Wales and was disappointed with many of the products I received.  Looking back through previous US boxes I decided that I'd give it a chance.  If I don't like it I can always cancel.  I haven't received my first box yet, but once I do I'll post my thoughts on it.

I love the concept of monthly subscription services.  I like the chance to try products that I have never tried and/or never heard of before receiving them.  It's a great value and helps to stop me from spending more money on makeup products that I don't actually need every month.
