Asmithlovesbeauty: Subscription Services

This summer I discovered the amazing world of monthly subscription services. I have subscribed to some beauty sample boxes but there are so many different types of subscription boxes. There are some for food lovers, dogs, toddlers and so much more. Basically, you sign up for a service that best fits what you're looking for. Then you pay a monthly fee and wait for the box to arrive in the mail. The best part is unboxing your products. It's so much fun getting prizes in the mail. For me, it's the best way to try new products and be introduced to new brands.

Birchbox: $10 a month

Birchbox normally has 5 samples of high end makeup, hair, or skin care products. They tend to send more hair and skin care samples. Some of the samples are small foil packs, deluxe sample sizes (travel sizes), and sometimes full sized products. That's always a bonus! Here is a link to check it out. If you decide to subscribe, this link will also give me points so I can earn free products. The more products I receive, the more reviews I am able to do.

IPSY: $10 a month

IPSY or Glambag sends 4-5 samples of high end makeup, hair, or skin care products. They tend to focus on makeup samples a little bit more than Birchbox. Most of their samples are deluxe sized or full sized. Here is a link if you would like to subscribe and help me earn points.

Julep Maven: $19.99 a month

Julep is a brand of nail polish and they have their own subscription service. Julep has different profiles you can choose from and they will send you products based on that profile. Normally it's 2-3 nail polishes and/or a beauty product. Julep is a little different from the other boxes. You can see the products you are receiving each month and switch profiles if you like one of the other ones better. You can also skip months if you don't like any of them or if you just don't have the funds for it. Here is a link if you would like to sign up and help me earn points.

These are the three that I subscribe to. I only get the Julep box if I really like to colors and have extra money. When I receive my boxes each month, I'll blog about each one so you can see what I received. I will also be reviewing products from the boxes to let you know how they worked out for me.
