Birchbox has always been one of my favorite subscription boxes.  Each month, you receive 4-6 samples based on a beauty profile you fill out.  It's only $10 a month and you can use coupon code: SUBSCRIBENOW50 to earn 50 points ($5) to spend in the Birchbox shop when you subscribe.  In addition, Birchbox allows you to choose one of your sample choices each month or choose a guest editor curated box.  After receiving your box, you can review each sample and share your box on facebook/twitter to earn 10 points per review/share (typically, you'll earn about 60 points a month just by doing this)!  Their point system is great and their customer service is amazing. If you haven't already signed up for a Birchbox subscription, please use my referral link  to do so!  There's nothing better than receiving a present in the mail every month and getting to try out new things. Here is this month's box!  I thought the design was perfect for the end of summe...

The POPSUGAR Must Have box has always been a subscription box I've wanted to try.  I was constantly envious of any blogger who posted what they received in their boxes.  Finally, in July, I gave in and I'm so glad I did.  Unfortunately, life has been a little hectic so I never got around to reviewing my July box, but I hope this review makes up for it! The best part about this monthly subscription box is that it includes items from so many different categories.  This is seriously the most practical and amazing subscription box I've ever received. The box is $39.95 a month and if you use coupon code MUSTHAVE5, you can save $5 off of your first box.  If you're interested in signing up please do so with my  referral link !  Also, if you have an ebates account, you can earn $5 while making the purchase through ebates.  If you don't have ebates, I highly suggest signing up using my referral link to get cash back on an unbelievable amount of online...

Lip Monthly  is a monthly subscription box that sends you a variety of 2-3 full size products and a variety of 2-3 sample products.  The box typically includes lip balms, lipsticks, lip glosses, lip stains, and usually a random make-up item to spice things up.  It's only $10 a month, but you can use the coupon code FALL5 (today is unfortunately the last day to use it) to get your first box for $5.  You can also use the code 1ST299 to get your first box for $2.99 if you choose a 4 month plan.  If you're interested in signing up, please use my  referral link . Lip Monthly is relatively new and so the first few months, they had some issues with late orders and confusion as to how to login to your account.  However, they seem to have fixed all of these problems and I was excited to see that this month came with a cute little cosmetics bag that I will definitely reuse.  I saw variations in colors, but I love the bright blue that I received. He...

Beauty Box 5  is a monthly subscription box that gives you 5 deluxe beauty samples for $12 a month.  Up until I finally read the information card, I completely thought this was the September box, but then realized I had a promo code to receive a free August Box so now I fully understand why I received Summer products when I was expecting Fall products.  Now I'm not so disappointed because who can really argue with free things and I do live in San Diego so it is kind of an endless summer right?  Anyway, if you'd like to sign up for Beauty Box 5 please sign up here using my  referral link .  Be sure to use the code HALFOFF to receive your first box for only $6! Here is an overview of my box.  Am I the only person in the world who hates these little squiggly paper things subscription boxes put in them?  They just make a mess.  I swear there are probably some still hidden in the nooks of my old apartment.  However, I do love the turquois...

Square Hue  is a monthly nail polish subscription that delivers 3 specially curated nail polish colors to your door monthly for $14.99 a month.  The BEST part is that some of the proceeds of your order go to charity :)  There's no commitment and you can cancel at any time, which is a great quality in my opinion for a subscription box!  This was my first month using Square Hue so I was excited to get home from vacation and finally try out the colors.  Each month has a different theme and for August, the theme was the Beverly Hills Passport Collection. Yes, I thought I was cool and would be super creative and throw in my passport with the picture of the collection...lame, I know. This month's box came with a purple micro shimmer (Cannon Drive), a blue micro shimmer (Wilshire Boulevard), and a gold micro glitter (Rodeo Drive).  I LOVE all of these colors and I'm glad this was my first box.  I haven't used the purple yet, but I'm sure I will withi...

My first introduction to subscription boxes was of course  Birchbox .  It's still my all-time favorite and they have the absolute best customer service I've ever encountered (you'll hear more about this in my next blog post). Birchbox is a monthly subscription box that costs $10 a month for women and they also have a men's edition that is $20 a month.  You can pay by the month or you can go ahead and purchase an entire year's subscription for $110.  When you sign-up, you fill out a survey so that they can try to customize your samples so that you get what you want.  Each month you get 4-5 deluxe samples, and recently Birchbox has started a new feature where each month, subscribers can choose one of the items that will be selected.  If you're interested in signing up, please use my  referral link .  I promise you won't regret it!  Plus they have a great point system where you can earn money to shop for full size products for every purchas...
