How to decide which Boxes to keep and Which Boxes to Toss
And man it is hard to decide!
To narrow it down, for me I thought about which ones are the most fun to get, which ones am I getting good use out of, which ones are worth the price and have generally easy to handle shipping or overall customer service is the best etc.
IPSY
For me Ipsy is one that I am still on the fence about being
subscribed to, because while I do wear makeup, I already have enough from Ipsy,
other bags and my own shopping to paint all the faces of the tenants in my
apartment building (men included) every day for at least a year lol. However,
it is a FUN bag to get, comes in the mail box, don’t have to pick it up if I am
not home, and it’s the cheapest bag out of all the ones I sub to. So for those
reasons, for now it stays.
Wantable
Well Wantable for me has been hit and miss, though I never
hated or disliked anything enough to send the boxes back, and the reason for
that is because every box has always included at least 1-2 things I really did
like. But honestly, for the cost which is over $50 Canadian for each box which
is $150 if you do all three per month it’s just too expensive to do as a
monthly thing. It’s definitely exciting and fun getting the boxes and the
customized boxes are sometimes personalized very well to suit your preferences.
Also how much jewellery, makeup (again) and intimates do you need on a monthly
basis. I will come back whenever the curiosity strikes but for now I am done
with Wantable for a while.
Madame Ladybug
I considered letting Madame Ladybug go just because of the
cost only, but after thinking it through I realized how much good use I am
getting out of this subscription box, the pads, wipes, baggies, treats, and
bonus items from both boxes that I have had so far have been used and I
actually look forward to the box each month. I have re-subscribed for 3 more
months of Madame Ladybug and really do enjoy their services. The snacks of this
box and the Munch Pak box which I also get have been replacing having to buy
items as snacks for work and I really love trying new things which this box and
Munch Pak both provide to me. Also the customer service at Madame Ladybug is
the friendliest I have experienced thus far and they really seem grateful to
have the customer base that they are getting. Highly recommend.
Munch Pak
As mentioned above I really love the idea of trying new
things when it comes to food, so Munch Pak is really a fun and interesting box
to get. The price, even for a monthly box ($18.40 CDN) is not too expensive and
I love the exposure to new foods from all over the world. Keeping this box for
a while!
Your Bijoux Box
This one I am also torn about, as I am a jewellery nut and
the price at approximately $35 a month is fabulous, however I do have a LARGE
collection already. The quality is good for costume jewellery, you sometimes
might find a clasp that will not open or a missing stone but I haven’t had any
serious issues with Your Bijoux Box other than the above mentioned. The real
drawback is that some of the pieces they have sent me so far are not wearable
for me for anything other than a special occasion. The statement pieces are
sometimes just too flashy to wear to work even though they do try to give you
styling tips to dress them down but for me if I don’t feel comfortable wearing
it I am not going to. I like flashy things but the statement pieces sometimes
are really large in size and look a bit garish, they are stunning but also
gaudy in a way it’s hard to explain. I have one more month to go of this box
and will then decide by a month by month basis based on the preview items that
Your Bijoux Box releases prior to sending out each month’s boxes, if the
previews look good I will buy month by month, depending on what is shown.
