My Monthly Subscription Box List - Updated

Time to update my Subscription Box List....  See my post here of what I've subscribed to in the past.  I may have gotten a little carried away with having so many of them, but in my defense, many of these boxes do allow you to skip months or schedule your deliveries.  (The boxes with the stars * beside their name are the boxes that allow you to do so).  I'm not actually getting all of these each month.  (Just when I want to receive them/can afford them).

1.  Julep Maven * - $19.99/month
2.  PopSugar Must Have Box - $39.95/month
3.  Birchbox - $10/month - Update:  Cancelled on 7/18/15 due to trying to become more minimalist
4.  Ipsy - $10/month - Update:  Cancelled on 7/18/15 due to trying to become more minimalist
5.  Stitch Fix * - $20/month non-refundable styling fee 
6.  Hello Fresh * - $69/week for each delivery + shipping - Use code XT3PSB to get $40 off your first box.
7.  Graze * - $6.99 - $25 depending on which size box you choose to receive.  (I'm currently signed up for the 8-snack box for $11.99/week
8.  Raw Spice Bar - $6/month - Fresh, authentic spice blends created by top chefs for your next globally-inspired meal.  **My favorite foodie box so far.  It's so affordable and the spices are wonderful!**
9.  Little Lace Box - $59.99/month for a single box, $149.97 for 3 boxes (6-month subscription), or $269.95 for 6 boxes (annual subscription) - boxes are delivered every other month.  I signed up for the 6 month subscription and will get my first box in June.  Click here to get 15% off your first purchase from Little Lace Box.
10.  Fabletics * - $49.99/month - Buy items as an outfit or individually.  You can skip a month or make additional purchases at any time.  I've ordered several times from them now.  Each month their pieces have proven to be well made, quality pieces.  Plus, if you spend over $49, you receive a free magazine subscription to various publications of your choosing.  So far, I'm REALLY pleased with the quality/price/style of their items!  Use this link/referral code to check them out now and get your first outfit for 50% off!!
11.  Golden Tote * - $56.95 ($49 + 7.95 shipping) or $149 (free shipping on the $149 tote) depending on which tote you choose.  For the $49 tote, you chose 1 item and Golden Tote will send you 1-2 additional items based on the style profile you fill out when registering.  You are able to view available items for both totes to make your choice from.  For the $149 tote, you choose 2 items and they send you 3-4 additional pieces.  I've purchased one Golden Tote so far and LOVED IT!!
12.  Club W * - $39/month + $6 flat rate shipping for 3 bottles of wine.  (Shipping is free if you purchase 6 or more bottles of wine for the month).  When you sign up, you'll complete a "Palate Profile".  Each month, Club W will make recommendations based on their assortment of wines they think you would like to try.  You can choose their suggestions, or make your own selections.  They give a wonderful description of each wine, including telling you where it's produced and what notes of flavor it offers.  Click here to receive 50% off your first 3 wines.   
13.  Hamptons Lane *- $47/month (free shipping).  **Click here to receive $10 off your first box.**  On the first of each month, Hamptons Lane reveals their curated box for the month.  After seeing what's inside the box, you have the option to decide whether to purchase the box or skip the box for the month.  (You also have the option to purchase boxes from previous months as well).
14.  Serendipity by Little Lace Box - FREE for current Little Lace Box Subscribers.  $9.99 month for non-active LLB subscribers.  Every other month (on the months LLB does not ship), Serendipity will send 5-7 items (including full-size items) that weren't quite the right fit for the LLB curated box.  Most items will be make-up/beauty items.
15.  BespokePost * - $45/month (free shipping).  **Use code "myfirst" to receive 25% off your first box.  On the 1st of each month, BespokePost emails you the new theme box selections for the month.  You have until the 5th of the month to select your box or to choose to skip the month.  This is a monthly men's subscription box, but I liked some of their box selections, so I decided to join and purchased their "Copper" box, featuring supplies (including 2 real copper mugs) to make Moscow Mules, for $33.75.

Have you tried any of these boxes?  If so, which ones are your favorites?  Know of a new subscription box?  I'd love to hear about it.  (Please do not include referral links to any of the boxes listed above though).

XOXO,
Stephanie

SERENDIPITY by LITTLE LACE BOX Subscription Box Review - June 2015

What it Is:  A complimentary (for now) bi-monthly beauty pouch for Little Lace Box subscribers featuring a variety of primarily make-up/beauty products

Cost:  Free (for now) for active Little Lace Box subscribers.  $9.99 for non-active LLB subscribers

Details:  Every other month (on the off months of the Little Lace Box), you'll receive a pouch like this of items that didn't exactly fit the next LLB curation.

This pouch came as a total surprise to me!  June is one of the months Little Lace Box is scheduled to ship, so when I received the shipment notification at the very end of May, I was expecting the regular, full box to arrive.  Instead, I opened the envelope and found the following letter explaining what was inside.

The Products:

1.  OFRA Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow Pencil - RV $13

2.  OFRA Cosmetics Plum Lip Liner - RV $13

3.  OFRA Cosmetics Bordeaux Lip Glass - RV $12.95

4.  Bella Ink Birthday Card - RV $3.95

5.  Brode Electrolyte Vitamin (2 of them) - RV $4.00

RETAIL VALUE =  $46.90

A closer look:

OFRA Cosmetics Universal Eyebrow Pencil - RV $13

OFRA Cosmetics Plum Lip Liner - RV $13

OFRA Cosmetics Bordeaux Lip Glass - RV $12.95

First, let me start off by saying receiving 3 full-size items unexpectedly was a really nice surprise!  When signing up for Little Lace Box, there is no profile you fill out though since it's advertised as more of a lifestyle box.  Unfortunately, the colors were all darker than what I normally wear (I have blonde hair and blue eyes).  The lip liner looks pinkish in the photo, but the actual color is a darker plum.  I'll end up using the gloss and liner, but sparingly.  The eyebrow pencil really is as dark as the end shows, so I ended up using it as an eyeliner instead.

Bella Ink Birthday Card - RV $3.95

This card is really cute and well-made.  I'll definitely be sharing this with someone special on their birthday in the future!

Brode Electrolyte Vitamin (2 of them) - RV $4.00

According to the insert, these vitamins are supposed to replace lost electrolytes and maintain hydration.  Since I opened this box on my way out of town for a concert (where drinking was involved), these came in handy the next morning.  I took them both with a glass of water and felt fine the next day.

This card was also included for a wine promotion.  It's not something I'm going to end up purchasing though.

VERDICT:  This was a pleasant surprise!  The items included were full-size and it's a free subscription for now.  Considering they sent $46.90 worth of products, that's a great deal!  I wonder how long Serendipity will remain free for current subscribers.  According to the Little Lace Box website, the subscription is $9.99 for non-active subscribers.  I hope they'll include a profile in the future once they start charging for the subscription if makeup is going to be included so buyers can receive shades that match their complexions.  In the mean time though, I'm happy to try out the products they send.  I can't wait to receive my full-size Little Lace Box for June!!

What do you think?  Have you tried Little Lace Box before?
