I saw this in "instyle" magazine and wonder if anyone has heard of it or if anyone is doing it? You pay $10.00 a month for 4 or more premium size samples. If anyone has done it will you tell me what you got? Like do you get one good thing and 3 not so known products? Or all they all good? I think I just like getting stuff in the mail. I want to hear from someone else if it's good or bad before I do it. haha....I don't want to be the first.

I'd never heard of this but I checked out the site, it looks fantastic. I wish they shipped to Canada.

yea I love it =D its a great service, just a lil confusing because I want to order my next one because I chose the month by month one instead of buying an entire year and getting it automatically.

noo ha ha what i meant was you can buy monthly like had my first order in january so if I cant buy one right now i can wait and buy it in march it goes month by month or you can pay 110$ i think it was for a whole year and it ships to you automatically. Sure =D i already got mine in early january but ill still post what I got.

I found a site today called My Pretty Pink Box which does ship to Canada - does anyone have experience with this site? It's a similar concept. Are there any others people know of and love?

No experience with myprettypinkbox but I did sign up for Birchbox and should be getting my first one in April.

Well got my first Birchbox, was pretty happy with it and will be purchasing full sizes of three of the items that were sent to me. My only complaint is the slow shipping. From the time I get the 'your birchbox shipped' email to the time it's at my door is so dang long for the distance.

But I will definitely be sticking with it.

I've heard about this website as well but do not know anyone who has actually signed up. Does anyone else have an experience they can share? I'm interested in knowing what type of products you've gotten in the past. Is it only beauty products?

I've been doing this for a few months now, and while I do like it I'm not sure I'll continue. Some of the stuff is cool, but at this point it just seems like I open the box and go "this looks nice" and then it just goes in the sample drawer never to be seen again. I think I'll continue until I can use my $20 credit for reviewing products, but after that I think I'm out unless the stuff gets better

I just started this month and I actually really enjoyed what I got this time around. I got (and everyone on youtube has gotten these as well) a full sized Laura Geller Blush-n-Highlight. The one I got is very pretty and will work well with my coloring.

Looks really interesting, actually. I'd certainly try it out if they shipped to Canada...

I would definitely try Birchbox if they shipped to Canada because their samples look quite large.

I know Luxebox ships to Canada but I've watched a few "unboxings" and the samples looked so small in comparison.

I had thought about signing up until I watched a lot of YouTube videos on Birchbox. They are worth watching because you can look up all the months and see people open them up, talk and review the items, see what they got and how they feel about it. I think so far there was one superb month with some Nars products, but since then it has gone downhill and the month of May had tiny samples, like the kind you get for free when you order from Sephora. A lot of people dropped Birchbox after that. I have decided not to sign up. I would rather take that 10.00 a month and put it towards a MU product I know I will use. If you shop wisely, use coupons and pay attention to special sales, etc., you can get some pretty nice and large samples of things. It is a fun idea, but they need to make the products more tempting! Imagine how cool it would be to have a mini bottle of an OPI or Zoya polish, or a lipstick, even a small one, a small eyeliner, a mascara. I get way more stuff through Sephora just from picking up some small necessities! I used to give far nicer samples for free when I was an Avon Lady, like perfume inches, lotion samples, and those cute mini lipsticks!
