I have been subscribed to beauty subscription boxes now for nine months. I first subscribed to Glossybox, followed by Birchbox who i have been subscribed too for the last four months.
As much as i have loved receiving my boxes and have acquired some great products (my first two Birchboxes contained a Laura Mercier product and the latest January addition Benefits Porefessional and Philip Kingsley Elasticiser which i was happy with) i have just found myself feeling very underwhelmed with the boxes in general.
I do think the idea is a great one, it's a great way to try and discover new products and brands i have found a few new favorites over the months, and it is exciting knowing that your having a box of new products to try delivered to your door every month. I just think for me the excitement and a bit of the novelty has worn off, most boxes only have one or two samples that i have heard of before and am excited about. I've also found a lot of the products always seem to be the same thing i have a handful of hand creams and cleansers waiting to be used that i really don't need.
I have now cancelled my subscription although my experience with beauty subscription boxes has been a positive one i just feel that i could put that £12.00 towards other beauty items on my wishlist that i really want and need, so thats exactly what i'm going to do.
Has anyone else got a bit fed up of Glossybox or Birchbox? Or are you still really happy with your boxes?
