Beauty Blabber - Beauty Sample Services

I'm so excited about all the beauty sampling services that have popped up. Basically you join one, fill out a basic profile, and receive a box of goodies each month. I can't wait to join one and am definitely giving out some subscriptions for Christmas. 

The above example is from Birchbox, which I think looks like the best service. You get 4 to 5 deluxe beauty samples from brands like Nars, Stila, and Weleda, plus one nonbeauty product per month. The service costs $10 per month or $110 per year. The above sample kit included - Arquiste Flor y Canto eau de perfum, Borghese Crema Saponetta Cleansing Bar for Face and Body, Melvita Rose Floral Water and the Balm Stainiac Hint of Tint for Cheeks and Lips. The nonbeauty item was Band-Aids designed by Cynthia Rowley. All the full sized items are located on the website and by purchasing them you can earn Birchbox Points. $1 = 1 point and once you get $100 you get $10 off.

Other notable services are Sample Society, which is a collaboration between beautybar.com and Allure, Glossybox, Ipsy, Beauty Army, Total Beauty Collection, Beautyfix, and Beauty Box 5. Make sure you look into all the fine print before signing up. Many services use automatic reenroll and some don't allow you to cancel before the subscription ends.
