I got a 4 pack of large separated cloth covered boxes off Amazon. They're really pretty, stack easily and fit a ton of crap.
Larger Storage Cubes [4-Pack] Senbowe Linen Fabric Foldable Collapsible Storage Cube Bin Organizer Basket with Lid, Handles, Removable Divider For Home, Office, Nursery, Closet - (17.7 x 11.8 x 9.8”) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077VLDMSQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_b1a-CbGN0YYA8
i love the allure beauty boxes, but subscribe through amazon -- not allure itself. You'll save yourself a TOOON of headaches if you ever want to cancel or have a missing or late box. Allure's customer service is absolutely HORRIBLE, but through amazon its a breeze.
Amazon is 33% off for new subs.

Here is the magnetic palette I bought on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q98ZZNC/ It only comes with 12 magnetic stickers though, so if you don't have more on hand, you might need to get a pack. I have ordered these before and they are nice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BDKSCFW/
I quit boxes for almost 3 years! I never sub for too many but it still resulted in clutter. One of the reasons I quit boxes was due to the Spark Joy book that I received in 2016 in Pop Sugar Must Have.
After quitting boxes I realized it was more fun to go to Sephora and pick what I liked. Also, they also have samples and GWP that you can choose. I liked it better than just receiving random stuff. Also, Birchbox has several good sales during the year and you can always add the mystery sample pack.
I now sub to Boxwalla & Beauty Heroes. Im loving both, but if I sense clutter in my surroundings I would quickly unsubscribe.
This was back in 2015. Ipsy. It was a full size clear lip balm by Rimmel. I know what you’re thinking. Rimmel is a drug store brand, which is kind of “boring” as far as beauty boxes go. Most people either want indie stuff, foreign stuff, or high end stuff. And yes, I’ve received HG items like SR good genes. But this lip balm smells SO good, I still use it to this day. It has lasted so long! And when I run out, it’s actually affordable (unlike good genes)

Edit: Sorry about the weird spacing.
I've used RTR extensively. After my first couple of tries a few years ago, I would have recommended it wholeheartedly, but as I've used their services more(the individual rentals as well as Unlimited) issues with the service have become more apparent and I don't use them anymore. A lot of dirty or worn out items sneak through. I would say maybe 30-40% of the items I've received have been either very visibly in need of repair, or just weren't laundered at all after the previous rental. I've done individual rentals probably 15-20 times and signed up for Unlimited 3 separate times to give the service a chance again, and it never improved.
The prices on the site are also really inflated to make the rental prices seem worth it. I do still browse the site to get ideas since so many people post pictures of themselves in the dresses, but then I go on eBay, Amazon, or Nordstrom Rack and just buy the dress. Here's a quick example with a dress I've rented in the past: currently $66.24 to buy on Amazon vs. $65 to rent on RTR.
Obviously if you're trying to get gowns that are $1000+ this isn't viable, but for dresses in the <$400 range, I've never paid more than $100 and I get a nice dress I can actually wear again, and many times the current retail price is less than the rental price. When you factor in the relatively high chance of getting a worn out or dirty item and not having a dress to wear for an event, it's not really worth the risk IMO.
Unfortunately I haven't found an alternative. If you're looking at the fancier options, it's likely still your best option but you'll want to be sure to get at least one backup dress so you don't find yourself in a bad situation.

I'm a little surprised that the jewelry box is on the list of items in causebox because I've seen it on amazon and it's definitely a mass produced white-label product. if you search mini travel jewelry case you can see there's a lot of slight variations or the same box with a different logo on it.
For the lazy: amazon link
If your bank doesn't do this, I recommend Privacy.com, as it offers the same services: virtual account numbers, spending limits, etc. I found out about it here!

I've contacted Conde Nast via the Amazon page for a missing item in the past.
I hope this helps!
Of course! Here are a few photos. I keep my frequently used full size items and new products in the clear organizer in the middle of the dresser. The hardware drawers are almost all beauty box samples separated by product type. (I use the bottom row for other full size products like lipsticks.)
I bought it off of Amazon here.
For those interested in the blow dryer, SUTRA has very few reviews out there for all but one product which is on amazon. There are 14 reviews, most of which look fake, and the remaining reviews are mostly negative.
Edit: Their flat iron has similar reviews. They seem to have some issues with longevity, though some of the Amazon reviews claim the Amazon product is counterfeit. I’m wary that there would be a counterfeiter since this isn’t a known brand. Just something to think about.
For real, no way should they be counting 2 masks as a full-sized item. I was fine with my bag yesterday, until I did a count on it. I have 6 Full-size and 6 deluxe. Not what Ipsy promised at all. I wasn't expecting a bag of luxury products, but I did expect 8 full-size and 4 deluxe as per their promise.
Upon first impressions, I did like the products I'm getting for the most part, but after checking the sizes I'm not feeling like I got what I paid for at all. Feeling dumb because it took me all day to realize what had happened. I was going to give the Ultimate a few months, but now I'm rethinking it. I do have other options.

FYI: Amazon now has the Allure beauty box. I signed up on September 3rd and received my box yesterday. Super simple to cancel through Amazon as well!

Personally I think they're really stepping up their game. I really enjoyed this last month's box. Looking forward to the Kat Von D box this summer.
Here's a link to Karsyn's IG post about their no longer accepting returns:
Another rainy day out of nowhere here in East Texas! Oh well, we have @fortunesmusic and @blissbranch to keep us moving and moving! After the recent influx of returns, we have come to the decision to make BlissBoxes non-returnable or exchangeable. If you have questions, feel free to email @blissbranch. We love you! 💕(For more info: BlissBranch.com/returns) https://instagram.com/p/xpYr8JNF3k/
Their return info page has 'updated 01/05/15' at the bottom of it, too, which in think was the same day her as her IG post. I remembered seeing her post about it and checking out the returns page -- to me, the phrasing indicated that they'd been having issues with customer satisfaction, and this thread seems to affirm it.
It's a bummer :[ Starting a business is difficult, and there are definitely things you learn along the way. It's tough, but it's vital to be able to respond appropriately to unhappy customers.
Even though it's outside of the Paypal dispute window (which, btw, changes tomorrow to being 180 days - but I don't think it applies retroactively), it might be worth filing a claim. I remember during a big subscription blowup, they made some exceptions for people that were affected but past the usual dispute due to the size of number of people affected. Doesn't hurt to try?
u/solskinnratel put together a pretty badass spreadsheet with most of the BB options out there. It's right here. (One of the mods should really sidebar it...)
At $10 a month, Sephora Play and Ipsy are probably going to be the best options. However, it's sort of dependent on how long a subscription you'd be looking at and whether you can find a sign-up deal. Some boxes are one-offs, too.
Love the idea of teachers repurposing the bags into period kits for the young girls they teach.
Exact same strap on amazon for slightly cheaper but free shipping: https://www.amazon.com/Goldtone-Cowhide-Replacement-Wristlet-Watermelon/dp/B01J639SQ8/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1494908589&sr=8-35&keywords=wrist+strap+watermelon+red
I'm betting it's coming from China either way and that's why it took so long OP; but hey, I trust amazon more then etsy and free shipping is better then $5 shipping (at least that's what popped up for me.)
It never would have occurred to me to add a strap to it, so kudos OP. That's my absolutely favorite ipsy bag and I'm happy I can use it as a proper clutch now.
Awesome! Thanks for the info. :) If the material is good enough, I plan on turning mine into flat lay bags like this.
do you live near a Marshalls or TJ Maxx? I picked up some of the BINO (they have it on Amazon also) for $20 & $25. I have two: one and can't to seem to find the exact other one but they have all kinds of different sizes.
Sorry I just wanted a light background to put the eyeliner on because you couldn’t see it against my table. The cat thing is a coaster from amazon
Oh! As a heads up on the tarte exfoliator! The well in the stick is DEEP. If you have a cosmetic spatula (pretty cheap on Amazon), you can scrape out a few more uses once you run out of ability to twist it up.
ETA: I bought this set and use the little one for makeup/skincare stuff. The bigger one lives in the kitchen for things like condiments.
Both. You can access it on a Kindle and you also get a print copy in the mail. I just got my first one this month.
Edit: Here is a link to it on Amazon. Make sure the format option is set to Print. There is also an option for Kindle if you don't want to also have a paper copy.
I did not know they existed, thank you! And look! They are on Amazon too. :D
if you have enough to sell to make the investment worth it, i’d grab one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SMHWZ42/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_btf_t1_0pJCFbH46TSDV
makes a world of difference. i assume you offered free shipping so it’s good that the postage due wasn’t owed by the buyer, but i personally prefer not to offer free shipping—not only does mercari take their fee from your total price, not sans shipping cost, but it’s much easier to figure how much you’re making when it’s all upfront. plus, though you will still get lowballers, at least you’ll know they’re doing it on purpose and not just ignorant to the hidden shipping costs that you’re fronting.
i’d also say to price high enough that you can set smart pricing—and i still wouldn’t have the floor price be your lowest price—so that you get a few days of promotion in search as your price decreases.
not sure if this would work in your situation but i haven’t gone to the post office at all in the short time i’ve been selling. i schedule a pickup with my regular mail delivery and leave my packages on the porch or in a box by the mailbox.
We started a spreadsheet for the basic information (type, cost, where it ships, full-size/sample/mix, etc). You can see it here although we haven't updated it in a while. I can't remember what user helped with this although I can see her email account in the "who can edit" portion, but I don't know if that's her reddit handle too and I don't wanna give out personal info... Just trying to give her credit for all her work on it too :)
Edit: I suck at links.
I like this! I did the same thing maybe a month or so ago, which includes more information- I had some help from other users of course!! Here's that one and it should be closed to editing. It's a little more comprehensive, and you're welcome to copy any/all of it- I used Excel online, so it's nice to have one also on Google Docs :)
I don't know much about ScentBird, but I just subscribed to ScentBox. They make it pretty easy to search by different fragrance notes, so I was able to find perfumes I wanted to try out.
They have a Groupon deal and I think you can get an extra 20% or 30% off with the code "FLASH" or "SAVE" so that's the cheapest option to try it out for your first month. https://www.groupon.com/deals/n-scentbox-monthly-fragrance-subscription-box-gen-spend-1
There are also referral codes in the megathread and if you choose to use one of those, then you'd get your second month free, but you can't combine the Groupon and the referral codes. When I subscribed I reached out to customer service and they told me you either pay full price using a referral code and then get your second month free (the 40% off on your first month doesn't actually combine with the referral deal), or you can use the discount on your first month.
Use code SAVE for 20% off. LINK Also for candy club lovers there's a deal for that as well that use can use the discount on
The same thing happened to me this time. I was definitely canceled and they tried to charge me, and this has never happened before with them. Luckily I had set up a privacy.com card so I had paused the card. I recommend you do that so you can ensure you are not charged for things you do not authorize, especially recurring things.
It looks small.
If anyone is interested in a mini fridge, I recommend this one
Cooluli Concord Pink 20 Liter Compact Cooler Warmer Mini Fridge for Bedroom, Office, Car, Dorm - Portable Makeup Skincare Fridge with Digital Temperature Control https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JBMZ9KB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_X0eZFb20KMS5D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I got it to put at my work when I was still breastfeeding. It should be big enough to store your skincare products on top and drinks in the bottom. And it’s cute.
There's plastic ones out there too.
After a coworker came to work with a bandaged hand from breaking one, I knew the plastic version was right for me. (The Amazon price seems high, but I went for a reliable link)
I think so? I just read somewhere that it's better to sub thru Amazon and I tried it. True enough it IS better. I subscribed last Oct 27th through Amazon, got a shipping notice the next day for Oct box. Meanwhile, my Oct subscription through the Allure website still hasn't shipped, and I just got charged for November. 🙄 Here's the link for Amazon if you wanna check it out - https://www.amazon.com/Allure-Beauty-Box/dp/B0742LVLMJ
NOT my photo btw. Just saw this on Instagram bits.and.boxes and decided to share here. I just got my February 3B Box yesterday and am insanely jealous that she already got her hands on these goods haha. Though can I just say that I'm a little annoyed that it's another skincare heavy box? There wasn't a single makeup item (lip balm doesn't really count?) just like last month's box (also bits.and.boxes's photo). Also a bit wary that there's another makeup remover (this time for lip and eye) even though there was a Laneige cleansing oil and a Banila's Clean it Zero sample last month. I guess it makes sense for those who wear a lot of makeup, but I personally don't wear too much makeup so I don't really need them. Still good value though? Do I sound too picky? Especially since there are a lot of people dying to get off the wait list? :\ IDK WHAT TO THINK GUYS
It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users. I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

LOVE IT!!! This is a great list for me to reference! I always thought someone should make a social media app where you can see all the products your friends are using & love (not just influencers). I so prefer these kind of recommendations over YouTube, socials, etc. So TY!!!
I saved this list and am putting it in my skin diaries journal. The only product I've tried above is the Bioderma Micellar Water and I found it good for the winter when my skin was superrrrrr dry! Looking forward to trying out more of your faves. Would you say most of these samples came from Allure? Ipsy? Birchbox? Curious as they all seem high quality!
I started keeping track of all the beauty products I've used in the past year or so in this table (I'm a bit of a nerd but I am so proud of this little system haha). The products that I ticked "I would repurchase" are my HGs! 🤓
If you're up for sharing any of your favourite make-up (esp. concealer, blushes, bronzers, those are my fave kind of beauty products so would love to take note of them also!)
hmm you canceled through the cancellation email they sent you? you could update your payment method to a virtual card so they can't charge you again, and then they'll auto cancel your sub. check out Privacy.com, or if you have CapitalOne/Citi they offer virtual cards too
If you're interested in getting Loot Crate soon, Groupon is having a deal, $10 for the first month shipped!
Here is a link! And if you wanna PM me for a referral link, then I can buy another one for my boyfriend :)
Yes, here a few copied below:
Anyone who is already subscribed has a referral code for 10% off new subscriptions. So even without those above, there should always be someone giving out their link as a coupon.
Try this app out. I use it for my subscription boxes. Basically it’s a “proxy” card system that you can set limits on how much you spend with that box (I set mine to just enough to cover box charges or whatever add ons I’ll want and you can edit amounts any time) super helpful because you can set the limit to per month/per use/total. I personally found it from a very tech savvy friend who recommended it to me about seven months ago and it’s all I will use for subscriptions now because I can easily pause or cancel the card if the subscription box I was getting I don’t like/they are trying to give me the run around on canceling
Have used it with:, glossy box, sprezzabox, allure, Ipsy, Amazon, Chick-fil-A, elf, saucebox, just about any site iv used so far to buy from. Only site it doesn’t work with is the fabfitfun box for some reason (ugh ik)
(Hope this is okay, legit great app I believe many of you guys may end up adoring as much as I do.)
Seeing this a lot in regards to Allure CS. Has anyone tried just using Privacy.com with them? I'd assume that would fix the cancellation issue as long as you're not paying with a credit card.
About the pictures, if you are in a computer, you should give Reddit Enhancement Suite a try. It's the freaking best. You can open pictures and albums within the post instead of going to imgur, and it's really cool overall.
Do you like sheet masks? I love these sobarino sheet masks for the morning, they're hydrating but have a really nice cooling tingle sensation at first. Sooo refreshing in the morning. I use it first thing! Helps me wake up haha the coldness of the sheetmask and the tingle combined
Will last you 45 days of you take 10,000 units, or 2 chewable tablets. After 45 days go down to one pill a day. And then don’t stop taking it.
ugh, i hate when this happens - have you ever tried using a foundation lightener? i have trouble finding the right shade so i invested in this bad boy https://www.amazon.com/L-Girl-Pro-matte-mixing-pigment/dp/B07HPDQ7PX/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1IP32V29JQX4J&dchild=1&keywords=foundation+lightener&qid=1617058748&sprefix=foundation+ligh%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3
i've only tried it with one so far (the profusion feel good skin) but from that alone i'm very happy with it. i recommended it to a friend also and she loves it
I was recommended this product from Amazon when I listed the EXO wipes in my Holy Grail list. Haven't run out of my current remover yet so I can't vouch for it personally, but the reviews are excellent so it might be worth a shot:
https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Lavender-Nail-Polish-Remover/dp/B00G7S424O/ref=zg_bs_11059371_8
That is cool, but the samples are pricey. I ended up buying the amazon luxury beauty box and I played around to spend my 20 wisely. I didn't want to just buy any of the sample products. I found out you can buy anything from the brand. I could have bought the julep mini polish set with like 12 for $20 when I put my credit toward it. I wanted to spend less so I ended up going with this palette which has a nice weight to it and only cost $3 and some change.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWH0538/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have seen this company giving away their products in exchange for reviews on Amazon. The colors never appealed to me, so I passed.
https://www.amazon.com/RealHer-Woman-Beauty-Moisturizing-Lipstick/dp/B019YNNWY4?th=1
So I'm really fond of the Real Nature ones by THEFACESHOP, which I can buy in stores, but are also available in packs on Amazon. As a heads up, they have a red ginseng one that is actually red/rust colored.
I had bought myself this TONYMOLY variety pack and currently have the Avocado one on my face. They're... super okay. I have a problem where on pretty much all of them, the mask rips where the eye hole and nose hole connect as I'm trying to smooth it onto my face.
I also received Sally's Box Loverecipe masks from ipsy in January and I REALLY liked those. They fit my face almost perfectly, even if they seemed really small! I also liked that they didn't leave my face feeling almost-sticky like most of masks do. I'd link, but I can't find a nice variety listing on Amazon.
Hey I was just going to say...I, too, have very dry areas on my face, to the point my skin starts peeling. And I also have to be carefully what kind of exfoliator I use bc they can be too harsh and make my skin break out. I found two scrubs on Amazon that have a smaller, finer “grain”...PLUS, they help even out your skin tone, brighten up your skin, and actually help keep it moisturized too. And they honestly aren’t expensive (especially since you’re not supposed to do it more than 3 times a week...so it can last a good long time).
I have used both and can attest to both being amazing. This brand also makes five other scrubs...the Himalayan Salt Scrub should NOT be used on your face but I do like it for small areas on my body (it can sting if you have any tiny cuts or sensitive areas tho). The other four from them (Spirulina, Brown Sugar, Charcoal, and Coffee), I have not tried.
If you ever decide to try any of these out, I hope they really help! I know how hard it is to get dry skin under control...
I have this one, and it’s honestly pretty great.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07ZHZ8CMK?ref=pd_basp_dp_primary
It was also pretty expensive, so there’s that.
It hurts at first, more on underarms and bikini line than legs. I got used to it. This particular epilator hurts way less and works way better than other ones I’ve used (in, like, 1991).
None of that is really related to FFF, but I would not trust an epilator from them at all. Keep shaving/waxing or buy a legit good device, I say.
Ohh, I am so silly, I was interested and just thought it was some cool new product without much info on it. I was hoping it would have good reviews and be a backup for this item that I've used for years and really like that I'm always worried will become unavailable (it's also gone up $20 since I first started using it). I am also confused whether the FFF one is a close-cut trimmer or whether it rips out the hair.
I bought some of those clear plastic drawers from amazon (Sephora and Ulta sell them too, and you can sometimes find them at TJ Maxx).
Makeup Organizer 3 Pieces Acrylic Cosmetic Storage Large Drawers and Jewelry Display Box https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075YTP2G5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nwP1EbGHVSFNN
Also about 3-4x a year I go through what I have and see if there’s anything that I haven’t used that I definitely won’t, and I throw them into a bag for friends. I’ve also used larger, nicer items as an add on for gifts.
Same with me! Damn ipsy and their add-ons! I am so addicted to trying new products even though I know I already have too many products and I also know what products and ingredients work for me. I also make skincare products as a hobby, but I haven't been doing as much as I like, because I also really hate wasting things and a lot of the active ingredients that I have in my stash, I already have a lot of products with those actives and I use them a lot. I will pick something up that I haven't used in awhile and I can't quite remember exactly when I got it, so I don't want to use it in case it's expired, but I also don't throw it out. I always say I will look at my emails, sephora, ipsy, and amazon accounts to see when I bought them, but I never do. I think I am going to start putting stickers with the open date on them.
My daughter got me this skincare organizer and it is AMAZING! It's a lot bigger than you would think. You can fit a lot of full size products in it, and a lot of the little items in the drawers. I can fit most of my products, except my cleansers and a few of the bigger jars of moisturizers. It doesn't take up that much room either, I keep it on my headboard in my bedroom, next to this neat makeup organizer it's a little smaller than what you would think, it's a little taller than the skincare one, but it doesn't hold all my makeup even with a brush organizer and pallette organizer. It's still great, though.
Look into Simple micellar water. (Don't know why, I thought the brand was "Clean" when I wrote the comment above). Garnier is cheaper per ounce but they are both affordable and available at the drugstore. It's been a while since I owned it, but I remember it being SO much better than the Garnier. When I run out of samples, this is what I'll repurchase.
I switched to the Amazon version for this exact reason – tired of getting leftover crap. Just go to the Allure Beauty Box listing to subscribe. They post exactly what's going to be in the box on the 1st of each month. I have never gotten anything different from what the preview shows. If you don't want that month's box, you have until the 7th (don't quote me on that) to skip. If you want to either skip that month or cancel your subscription, you do that by going to Account/Other subscriptions. Definitely recommend this option!
I have a very, very similar one to that, and I got it from Amazon. I use mine for jewelry tho.
Save yourself the money and the hassle and avoid them like the plague. If you'd like to read about how much they suck, here is their Amazon page which has reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Lip-Monthly-Beauty-Makeup-Subscription/dp/B07QL1JRCN?th=1
I wish Poutbox was still around - pricey compared to Lip Monthly but the products and colors they sent were worth it.
I also just ordered this one.

Literally the funniest book I have ever read is I'll Take It by Paul Rudnick - the protagonist is a young Gay guy and it is probably semi-autobiographical as it describes his loving relationship with his mother and her two sisters - The Esker girls.
They are all compulsive bargain hunters and there is a chapter about a trip to Loehmanns in which he gets all of the details right including the "Loehmann's Knot" which is when you tied the sleeves of a jacket around the rest of the clothing hanging in front of your mirror to indicate that you weren't through yet but were dashing out for a different size. Reminded me so much of my mother and aunts down to their not being able to resist turning over tchotchkes to look at the "mark" on the bottom.
https://www.amazon.com/Allure-Beauty-Box-Luxury-Subscription/dp/B0742LVLMJ It starts a subscription, but it's super easy to skip/cancel. I know the Amazon box this month has the CR mist instead of the cream, which I'm interested in trying.
There’s another palette in the Eye Ecstasy line. It should be about $10-15 if it’s selling for more than that, wait for a sale
The freebies definitely make it worth the wait!
Is the brush rounded at the end with a wooden handle? If so, it’s probably one of these!
They’re a generic brand, but my makeup teacher in college bought them for us and there are a few I still use day to day alongside my Luxie brushes
Ipsy has its perks, I’m just on product overload and would quit ImPrf too but I really like them!
Here’s one on Amazon I keep meaning to try when I get through my stockpile. A beauty blogger (I want to say Beauty Wolf?) recommended it years ago. Just $18 for 2oz.
Here’s my referral for Privacy app. You get $5 when you make your first purchase through them.
I HIGHLY recommend anyone who is purchasing beauty subs/things online to get an account. It allows you to link your debit card and create temporary debit cards that you can pause, set limits on etc. It comes in SO handy when it comes to making sure your info is never stolen, kept longer than you want it to be, and even so you don’t get rebilled when you meant to cancel!
Please please please protect your data from these companies. They do NOT care about us!
Well this is definitely not my favorite box.
I’ll try it, but it’s going to be awhile.
Most of my experiences with this brand have been “meh”.
This is a $9.69 palette. Amazon listing “sold by Dito Cosmetics”
-Araceli Beauty Bella Sponge Duo
I have some of these already I believe.
Have previously received this from Ipsy. It’s not bad. Not my favorite, but I have definitely used worse liners.
I was going through Groupon today and imagine my surprise when I saw this Michael Todd kit, including the scrub. I figured some of you wonderful users might be interested: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-michael-todd-true-organics-skincare-set
Swagbucks: You can redeem giftcards from points! It's pretty easy to sign up for free trials and etc and cancel before you're billed in order to get points or answer surveys and etc. I earn 300 pts / $3 for every person who makes 300 pts in their first month!
Ipsy: I get points if you sign up! Like 250.
Box twin! Your reaction was pretty much my reaction to the box. I did some Instagram stalking and found a picture of the SeaRX sample! Looks big enough! I'll probably keep the hair samples and use the rest as stuffing stockers.
Just through allure. I use this app and use "proxy" cards so I can cancel when I want without customer service bull. Info on app: https://privacy.com My referral link (for a free $5 credit if you want): https://privacy.com/join/Q7SLZ
For anyone else signing up to a new box or only want a box for a month, check out Privacy.com. It lets you create virtual credit cards and you can put a limit on it so you only get charged once
I use it for every subscription I'm not sure I'm gonna keep
I believe it is similar to Rakuten. It is a browser plug in that provides coupon codes and cashback. Certainly recommend reading the data/privacy terms before using if that's a concern for you generally.

I looked them up on Amazon, to read the instructions of use… they are 40% off :) FYI
I’ve been using collagen powder for a few years and have definitely seen results. Here’s what I use. I put it in my morning coffee and can’t taste a thing.
The Dose & Co is $25 for 10oz and the one I use is $28 for 16oz.

I’m getting no benefits from sharing this other than recommending taking some type of collagen products daily.
I think this company are reselling make up they buy for lower cost and flipping them for double or triple the cost. Is is a box of 27 pieces Popfeel products form Amazon for $33 and they are reselling for $100. That’s not cool if this is the case. Here the link POPFEEL All In One Makeup Kit(Eyeshadow,Primer,Concealer,lipstick,lipgloss,Eyeliner,Eyebrow,Makeup brushe,Mascara &more) 27 pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XGDSTRP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DBR0WBVK137P92AC6HMC
I use these for tissues and disposable masks in my car! One for tissues and one for masks.

If you don’t find it, I recommend a sapphire file like this one (which is no longer available but I’m linking it as a reference). I got it in 2014 and it’s the only one I use, still going strong!

I bought this one. If your feet need a lot of work the battery won't last the whole time until you get them under control. The first day I charged it 4 times to do 1 foot. Now 1 charge does each foot once. My feet have never been this smoothe. With the metal blade I always had uneven bottoms no matter how careful and it hurt so bad to get a little cut. This thing has not cut me. It just takes off all the dead skin quickly. I was even able to get into the hard spots. I went to buy a new rasp and saw it, I didn't know they existed either.
Hey ladies. This tool will change your life! Best pumice I've ever used. I literally can over do it to the point my feet will burn during summer or hurt to walk on concrete. Be warned to don't be too agressive! I do this once a week at the end of my shower or bath.

This one is amazing. I never expected results, but it delivered!
Have you ever tried Glam Up? They were a December add on, but I found them on amazing for $1 each for packs of 10 of all the same or less than $1 for a variety pack of 12:

Thank you! The brush is definitely worth it, but Amazon also has some pretty decent looking dupes for it.
have you tried american amazon? I know that we can view/shop from long distance countries' amazon sites from the US without issue so i don't know why it would be different.

I agree, that is annoying!
Btw, for anyone who is considering that offer- I highly recommend this product (currently on sale for $40) instead- https://www.amazon.com/Kiss-products-Ceramic-Instawave-Automatic/dp/B00N18RIAS
I got it for Christmas last year and it's the only curling iron that my clumsy self has ever been able to use. It's seriously changed my hair life! I curl my hair almost every day now.
A little late to this but your gift will ship separately if you ordered through Amazon. It says up to 30 days later on the order page so be prepared to wait a while for it. https://www.amazon.com/Allure-Beauty-Box/dp/B0742LVLMJ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1534267594&sr=8-2&keywords=allure+beauty+box
Unless your skin is very dry you could probably get away with just an oil afterwards, if you don’t have the time/money to get a moisturizer right now. Like I said, the one I use is the Acure brand argan oil (available on Amazon for $6.44 https://www.amazon.com/Acure-Essentials-Argan-Fluid-Ounce/dp/B004DTQ9L8 ) you only need 2-3 drops so a bottle will last a long time!
Also available in places like Target, natural grocery stores, etc. I even found some at TJ Maxx recently! ( which is actually a really good place to look for some great skincare finds!)
I’m biracial and wear my hair in lots of different ways. I also have two teenagers so I get the struggle of fighting with them over their hair.
I take my girls to a shop with a stylist who is experienced in dealing with natural hair. She gets our hair bone straight. The last time we went I was shocked to find out she uses a $25 flat iron from amazon. I just got it. I’ve only used it a few times but it’s pretty nice. Here’s a link:

Any other questions feel free to PM me. Trust me, I know the struggle!
I use acrylic drawers from Amazon for all of my makeup, and organize everything by drawer - eye liners, lip, brushes, eyes, etc.
I started with this one: Sorbus Cosmetics Makeup and Jewelry Big Storage Case Display - Stylish Vanity, Bathroom Case (3 Large, 4 Small Drawers, Clear) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BLGPSMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_G1owCbJZ1RF2X
And I just bought this, it's wider: Sorbus Acrylic Cosmetics Makeup and Jewelry Storage Case Display Sets –Interlocking Drawers to Create Your Own Specially Designed Makeup Counter –Stackable and Interchangeable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DPVSGB0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_F2owCb2PJWRZS
I like them because they still leave a surface on the bathroom counter.
Otherwise I just keep stuff I'm not using in plastic bins or baskets I have hanging on the wall.
Another vote for Facetory. I order directly through them and have had no bad experiences, you can cancel on their website too.
But, you can also order through Amazon. They're currently offering 40% off your first box.
The colors aren't quite as slick, but Amazon has some
