So you guys know that I have shared my experiences of subscriptions services and so forth. You can read about my most recent review which is about Scentbox. I LOVE a great value! Seriously, what is the point of having a subscription service if you can’t get an exceedingly great value and try products that may be too expensive on their own? If you want that deal, let me tell you about my FAVORITE subscription service…
For the past few months, I’ve been getting Boxycharm. When I say that I am beyond satisfied with this monthly beauty box, that is simply an understatement!
Here are my reasons:
1. Boxes worth over the $21 price tag. I have never gotten a box with less than 40 bucks worth of product. You win buying this box because you are getting more than twice your money.
2. Quality makeup and skin care inside. If this box was just filled with brands and makeup you could get for little to nothing with no quality behind it I would not have wasted my time after the first month. In one of my boxes I received an eyebrow pencil by MAC Cosmetics. My face eyebrow pencil and worth every penny even at full price!
3. Makeup for every skin tone and a varied boxes. Not all boxes shipped get the same shades of (for example) a lipgloss. The beauty is if you watch any unboxing videos, you can see the other available shades and how those shades look on others and their tones. The products offered exclude foundations and concealers because these are so specific. This is fine by me. I prefer versatility in surprise boxes like these…
4. Experience “new” brands. I have to admit, I have enough makeup. I really do. However, there are some makeup brands that I have not tried. This is honestly the only way that I feel compelled to try some of the brands I’ve rarely seen and heard of, even some indie brands for that matter.
5. Makes an amazing gift or three! I have gone through my box and given away some products that I didn’t need as gifts. A single box can seriously work as gifts for three different people. Sounds cheap but as I’ve stated earlier, the quality is packed in this box!
6. Excellent customer service! This is the most important thing that I look for in any company. I say that because a person can love the products that are purchased but if the customer service is terrible, you could take the products back or better yet even not make the products at all out of spite for a terrible experience. I’ve had nothing but a great experience with Boxycharm!
7. Rewards! You get points or “charms” for loyalty, reviews and more!
So if there are so many good things to say about this box, why am I on the verge of cancelling?
1. I don’t need any more makeup. I’m in the process of simplifying my life more and more makeup is counter productive.
2. Preservation of funds. I’m looking into saving more money and although this service is only 20 bucks, it’s only an option and a want…not a need.
3. I can resubscribe anytime I want. I don’t feel as pressed to keep a service that I can grab at a later date. Right now Boxycharm has no waitlist so if I wanted to grab it two months I could with no worries on missing out on an item or two that particular month.
So what’s a girl to do? I’ll let you know on a future blog post lol. To be continued….
