[/caption]You may or may not have heard of these before but they are sweeping the overseas beauty world by storm. You subscribe to these services and get sent a monthly box filled with beauty samples and sometimes full size products and now we have a few boxes starting up on our shores!
So far I know of three starting up in the coming months -
Beauty Box - $14.95/month
Your Beauty Box will contain a great mix of up to 5 samples of the latest and best beauty products. Experience them in your own time, in the comfort of your own home, without the hassle. You can learn more about the products, the fabulous brands behind them and give your valued feedback to WIN some great prizes!
from beauty-box.com.au
Currently still in invite only phase, you just need to register your email to get notified when you are able to start subscribing.
Brands currently on board are Bobbi Brown, John Frieda, Marc Jacobs Fragrances, Playboy, Sally Hansen, Shu Uemura, Yves Saint Laurent.
Lust Have It - $14.95/month
monthly Lust Pack with 5 to 6 premium size samples
- information sheet on the products and how to get the most out of them

- generous Reward program that quickly delivers benefits

from lusthaveit.com.au
Open for subscription! The first lot of boxes are shipping out soon! The thing that I like about this service is you gain points when you subscribe (15pts per month). Once you reach 100pts you can redeem this for a $10 voucher to put towards a full size product.
Brands on board - Bioeffect, Burts Bees, Dermalogica, Kerastase, Lancome, Lash Republic, Mirenesse, Naked Tan, Nougat, Pure Fiji, Urban Rituelle
Red Meow - $9.95/month
"Each month, you'll receive a selection of 4-5 samples that we’ve tried (and retried) ourselves. You'll receive anything from skincare to makeup to cult beauty tools, from well-known brands as well as emerging gems." from redmeow.com.au
Waitlisting at the moment, sign up and you will be contacted when you can join. Cheapest box so far and also offers reward points to use towards full sized products.
Brands on board - Aesop, Jurlique, Napoleon Perdis, Modelco, Bloom, Mirenesse, Becca, La Clinica, Australis, Kora, She Aromatherapy, Lumiere, Eles Mineral Makeup, NARS

[/caption]They all sound fabulous and i'm sure i'll be signing up to all of them, but just keep a few things in mind.
- The products aren't always going to suit your skin concerns or complexion etc so be prepared to have a few products you'll need to give away to other people
- Signing up to every single service could be more expensive then buying a few full size products a month. So be savvy about it. From what i've seen you can cancel your subscription on the services if you do a monthly subscription so this is always an option.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of these new sample services and i'll be sure to show you all the loot when my first box arrives.
