Graze Box # 1 - May 2013
I was able to get a free code to sign up for Graze Box through my coworker, who loves his! :D I am so happy! For now, Graze Box is invite only. It costs only $5/box and you get to choose how many times you want to receive one (once per week, once every two weeks, once a month). You can even choose to skip weeks or months! You get to rate the snacks into “Try”, “Like”,...

Eco-Emi - May 2013
I’m so glad to have received the EcoEmi within 2 days of the box being shipped - Yes, you read it right. The box shipped on a Saturday and I received it next Monday. A lot folks have had shipping issues (not receiving boxes, being charged twice without receiving a single box etc), but I haven’t had any such issues.
This month’s box is probably my personal favorite -

BarkBox - May 2013
This is going to be my last BarkBox, unless I find another fab.com deal. I had subscribed to a 3 month deal for small dogs at $49 through fab.com. I’ve (rather, Sasha), have really liked all their boxes so far. We had a slight issue with one of the toys that was sent in the last box, but the BarkBox team reached out to me and sent a lot of replacement toys and treats for Sasha as...

Ipsy - May 2013
Because of the subscription box addicts at MUT, I ended up resubscribing to Ipsy. Not just that, after seeing all the spoilers, I found myself subscribing to a second bag…only to learn a couple of days later that all new subscribers will be receiving a generic “crowd pleaser” bag. Technically, with both my accounts new, I now find myself stuck with two bags that are *almost...

Tatcha - The Ritual for Normal/Combination Skin
Like many others, I was introduced to the world of Tatcha skincare through their Japanese Blotting Papers, aka. Aburatorigami. As most of you know, these are no ordinary blotting papers. These are made of 100% pure Abaca leaves and fine gold flakes that miraculously don’t transfer on to your face skin, don’t disturb your makeup, don’t dry up your skin like many other cheaper...

Green Grab Bag - May 2013
This is my second month with Green Grab Bag. Overall, it was a good month, even though I feel like the previous month was much better. One of the main reasons why I feel this way is because the big ticket item in the box “Hydra Soap Chill Pill” doesn’t really appeal to me.

Birchbox Account # 2 - May 2013
I signed up for a second Birchbox this month because I feel like this subscription service provides GREAT value every month (most of the months anyway). The Birchbox points system is amazing and after taking into account the points you earn, the box per month costs $5 or less. For $5, the samples I receive are great! Many times, you also get full sized products, even though this is not the norm....

Daily Dose of Green - May 2013
Here are some pics from my Daily Dose of Green - May box. Overall, the box was very body and skin care heavy. Unfortunately, I didn’t find it very exciting. A lot of it has to do with the fact that I receive too many boxes. So unless a box has something extraordinary to provide, I will need to unsubscribe for the moment. I have sent customer care an email to unsubscribe me.

Goodebox Special Bonus Box - May 2013
I’m back with another Goodebox review! I am SO glad I was able to get my hands on my first ever “bonus” box of any kind. Goodebox was selling bonus boxes on their Facebook page a couple of weeks ago, as a way of getting rid of old samples. I was charged $19 for a box that promised to be full of 12-14 samples of all kinds and boy, did Goodebox deliver and how! I think I absolutely...

Goodebox - April 2013
Since Goodebox has changed its shipping cycle to the last week of every month, I received my April Goodebox in early May just when I was about to leave for my much anticipated Puerto Rico vacation. Luckily, I packed some products for my trip. I’m actually typing this review from my hotel room in Old San Juan, after a long day of sight seeing!

Green Grab Bag - April 2013
subscriptionaddict:
Green Grab Bag is a monthly box of eco-friendly beauty products that costs $15/mo. This is my first box and I’m highly impressed. It seems like the box shipped from San Antonio, which is only 70 miles from where I live! :D I received the box the day after it shipped. Three cheers for lightning fast shipping.

BarkBox - April 2013
subscriptionaddict:
This is the second month of a 3 month BarkBox subscription that I bought on fab.com for $49 (plus $5 off through ebates.com). Me and my dog, Sasha, were not very impressed with the box this month. One of the toys included in the box is Made in China and got easily chewed up by my dog - Luckily, he didn’t chew/choke on the small plastic pieces, but it is highly possible that he...

Ipsy - April 2013
**Contains referral links. Box paid with my own money.
Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription service that costs only $10/month (no contract). It’s one of those rare services where almost all the items are always makeup related versus skincare. Unfortunately, I wasn’t too pleased with the items from this month’s bag.
First off - The bag they sent me was not the “Pretty...

Talk about top notch customer service! :) Overall, I am extremely pleased with the variety and quality of samples received and will continue my subscription service. I already have some favorites. I like the fact that...

The Honest Company - Family Essentials Pack Free...
I got to know about The Honest Company from various blogs I follow. They provide monthly essentials pack of two types - Family Essentials (bath & body and household cleaning items) and Baby Essentials. I decided to buy a free trial of Family Essentials pack. I only had to pay $5.95 for S&H. If I don’t call back to cancel my membership within 5 days of receiving the package,...

Conscious Box - April 2013
This is my first Conscious Box. I ordered it last month when there was a special promo running where you could order a box for only $1 (incl. shipping). While the stuff that I received is great considering I paid only $1 for it, the regular price of the box is $19.95 a month and if I would have paid the regular price, I wouldn’t have been a happy camper. What I received is a BUNCH of foil...

Birchbox - April 2013
My Birchbox came in a day early. This month’s box was curated in partnership with Women’s Health. Most people would be very happy with the box I received…me, not as much.
Here’s a peak inside my box -
Inside my box - 4 main items and a lifestyle extra.

Julep Starter Kit "IT Girl" - March 2013
So, I finally bought into the Julep craze and treated myself to a free starter box of Julep nail paints (Use coupon: FREEBOX). I had to pay $3.99 for S&H. I received two nail polishes, a full size foot scrub and a sample size hand scrub. Pictures below.
This is the shade I’m wearing on my toes currently.
Overall - I like the texture of the nail paints. They are pretty...

Lip Factory Inc - April 2013
Lip Factory Inc. is a monthly subscription box for $22 that promises to bring you deluxe or full sized makeup items. Every 4 months, they have a “lips products only” box (March box was supposedly a “lips products only” box). I love my first box. Lots of makeup stuff.
Six full size items from what I can tell and one foil sample - Pretty awesome!
