i signed up for Glymm, Loose Button and Topbox all on the same day (November 7, 2011). please keep in mind that these are all monthly subscriptions. once you sign up, they will continue charging you until you unsubscribe. also, if you prefer, certain sites allow you to sign up with quarterly or yearly subscriptions. with a yearly subscription, Glymm offers 1 free box and Loose Button offers 2 free boxes.
recently, i signed up for GlossyBox on January 25, 2012 which means that i do not have a lot of information about them yet. will let you know more when i finally receive it in March.
please note: to receive these boxes for the next month, you will need to sign up before the 31st of the current month.

what are your experiences with these companies? thank you and have a lovely day!
Are you open to try Julep Maven as well? They have a great promo going on where you get your first box for $0.01 (LITERALLY) and you get over $40 in value for nail polishes and other Julep brand products.
ReplyDeleteComplete the style quiz and type in the Promo code: PENNY to reduce the price from 19.99 to $0.01!!
If you do decide, I would be so appreciative if you signed through my referral link (I'm one credit away for a free month :D)
