I love sub boxes with my faves being Wantable, Popsugar and Glossybox. I'll probably be a BB subscriber forever. Some others I'm trying to figure out. I just received my second Boxycharm box and I must say, I like it... a lot! Great bang for the $21 price tag. All full size except when noted(#) May box Illume Lavish hand creme-love their candles and now their hand cream Mirabella Pretty & Provoctive lip color-I got "Heat" a lovely brick red. Nice texture and long wear. Lauren B Beauty nail polis remover pads-these were fine but I love my Zoya remover. These will be used for travel. Ferro Cosmetics pink Fabuki brush-Very soft and full compared to other mini buki brushes. # Embelleze Novex Argan and Olive Oil hair treatments-Not sure since I haven't used them but a deluxe size I'm sure I can get 3 uses from. Total value-$77 plus deluxe samples June Box Tarte cheek stain-I'm a powdered blush girl but summer seems like a good time for this to be in a box. Going to try this since I love the color. Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Hyperliner-Love the texture and pigment but the color I was sent was not good for me. Not a fan of navy blue but will pass it on to one of my blue or green eyed friends. Tarina Tarantino Eye Dream Hyperlight-My favorite Smashbox item may have competition! Strangebeautiful nail polish-Julep under another label? That was my impression. Colors were ok so we'll see. Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara-Saw the ad on tv so I'm intrigued. I'll sample with a disposable wand and pass to my niece if it irritates my eyes. Total value=$92.99 Being a box addict I have to cull some but I'll be hanging on to Boxycharm. Check it out here www.boxycharm.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/5334/

I've been thinking about switching over to Popsugar from Wantable. I know they're not the same type of box, but the price point is pretty much the same and I feel like the quality of my Wantable items aren't that great. I saw the Popsugar box with the TF palette and was super jealous! How long have you been a subscriber for both boxes?

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Popsugar close to a year and Wantable well over a year. I love the Intimates box Wantable came out with last fall! The April Popsugar box was my favorite, so far. I loved everything. Interestingly the May box was disappointing-a workout DVD, really?! Usually anything I won't personally use can be gifted or go into a TB. Have you retaken the wantable quiz? After the 1st few boxes I did and like almost everything in my makeup boxes now.

I signed up for the FabFitFun Summer box after MySubscriptionAddiction posted a 25% off coupon for it. The flash facial looks interesting. The Spring box looked pretty good, so I went for it. I did retake the quiz. I got my first box in February, and was not too impressed. Although, now that I think about it, I use two of those items pretty regularly haha. Then I skipped March and April. Before they sent my May box, I retook the quiz, and the products were still okay. I guess my issue is more about the quality rather than the product type. I love blushes, but the one I got was in really cheap packaging. I haven't used anything from this box because I'm worried I won't like it, whereas if I don't touch it, I can save it for a TBB or regift later. Do you experience the same thing with your products? Where it just feels cheap in your hand?

Where it just feels cheap in your hand? I just got my June box and it had a Vincent Longo pressed powder-I adore his line and it is not cheap just VERY simple packaging. I got some Ofra stuff- lipliner, eyeliner and a cheek shimmer as well as a Mirabella lipstick. I was very pleased with it! Value was just shy of $100 I remember getting a Eddie Funkhouser blush in my May box I actually liked. It's very sheer and can be used as a highlighter. It will go in my travel bag so if it goes missing I won't be devastated it's inexpensive but I really liked the texture, the packaging did feel cheap but with an inexpensive lines I care about what's in the package You're in sdbeautyjunkies box (as am I) and I don't think all stuff has to be new (mascara does), if you like the look of a product swatch it and sanitize if it's not for you. When I get a new (to me) mascara in a sub box/gwp/sample I use a tester wand to see if I have allergies, if I have a reaction it goes to my niece and any future product that comes my way goes straight into my gift/TB stash. My niece is now hooked on They're Real I'm very guilty of trading pretties for things to give my Mom, sister and niece.

I'm glad you like your box! I'm not sure if I got anything Eddie Funkhouser. I definitely got a Vincent Longo eyeshadow trio, but wasn't really into the colors, so will be setting that aside for the TBB probably. Maybe Wantable just isn't for me. I recently subscribed to Julep, and am loving them, so maybe I'll give up Wantable. Or Maybe I'll try just one more box haha. That is SO SMART. I didn't even think to test mascara with a tester wand. Obviously, I wouldn't put swatched mascaras in a box, but maybe ask my friends if they're interested. And nothing to be guilty of! It's nice that you gift the stuff you get in TBB's! Your family is lucky to have you

joannimation you are so sweet but the wand thing came from self preservation. My eyes are so sensitive and I learned the hard way that hypo-allergenic means most people aren't allergic, all natural can be bad, yada, yada, yada. I'd use a strangers toothbrush (not really, maybe my husbands lol!)before I'd ever let anyone use my mascara! Julep is pretty great but they can snag you with those deals If Zoya would do a sub box I'd die!

OMG I have a Pixiedust collection from Zoya and I love it! It never chips and stays on for weeks if not months!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
