But I have found a solution!! There are subscription services that send you beauty product samples to let you try things out! how exciting!! No more wasting my money on products I'm going to hate! I've done a little research, and I've found a few different subscription services that I think sound awesome! I'm definitely going to be subscribing to at least one!! (I will be posting my own personal reviews of how I liked the services, and products after I start! So stay tuned for that!)
With birchbox you get a monthly shipment of a variety (usually 4-5) of sample-sized high-end beauty products. They have yearly ($110.00 that's one month free!) and monthly ($10.00 a month) subscription plans. When you sign up you fill out a beauty profile to get products picked specifically for you! How cool is that?! And if you like what you try you can go onto their online store and buy the full sized product! When you buy from their online store you rack up 'Birchbox Points' that can be used to buy more full sized products!
Testtube is similar to birchbox. But you get a shipment every three months (four times a year), instead of every month. When they ship out that charge your credit card for 29.95 + 8.95 for shipping. The products look to be sample-sized to normal-sized. (15 products + magazine and gift card) You also get a New Beauty Magazine, and a $20 gift card to spalook.com which is like $20 back in your pocket so the approximately $38 your spending every three months goes down to $18..that's how I like to look at it anyway..;)
You pay $49.99 four times a year, and you get a package once every season, with up to $400 worth of products inside! The unique thing about this subscription is you get to pick exactly what you get in each shipment! From nails, to hair, skin, and makeup! You get everything in a good-sized complimentary makeup bag. One bad thing I've heard is that it can be difficult to cancel your subscription. You have to call in to cancel instead of being able to cancel online.
Eco-emi is an organic monthly subscription. For $15 dollars a month you get 5-10 products, you'll get a variety of hair, makeup, food and more. The unique thing about this subscription is all of their products are either Eco-friendly, green, or fair-trade. The product sizes vary from sample sizes to full sized products.
Something in common with all of these subscriptions that I forgot to mention is that you do fill out a beauty profile. So they don't send the wrong foundation color or something for curly hair when you have straight. Things like that. :)
