The whole idea is that for a small fee (most of them are about $15 a month which is debited from a credit card) you get sent a sample box filled with luxury products to try before you buy. Its a great way to try something out before spending the big bucks on the full sized product plus they can introduce you to products you may have never heard of before. Another reason I love the idea of this is because I hate using the same things over & over again. I love experimenting and am fortunate enough I have the skin tone & condition where pretty much anything looks good! (Way to toot my own beauty horn there toot toot!)
I am currently subscribed to three of these services (Lust Have It!, BellaBox and GlossyBox) and will be doing monthly reviews on the boxes to compare companies as I receive them and also reviews on the products they send.
Here is a quick run-down on the different sample box companies I have found for Australia - I am sure there are more so please let me know if you know of any other's!

I have recieved two Glossybox boxes and I just got my first I Love This Box!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely impressed with I Love This Box, far more than Glossybox. I have been pretty disappointed with my last two Glossyboxes - Which ones have been your favourites so far? I'm thinking about trying Bellabox :)
Lust Have It! has to be my favourite so far, have loved everything in their boxes. I didn't mind the last GlossyBox but it didn't have the wow factor that's for sure. I just got my consignment number from Bellabox so hopefully it will arrive in the next few days and I will do a post on it. I was tossing up between I Love This Box & Beauty Basket and I subscribed to Beauty Basket as my forth subscription :P I do like the look of ILTB as-well so if GlossyBox doesn't improve I will switch over to them.
