Glossy box/ feel unique etc, worth it?

[GingerLemonTea]

Think Feel Unique has stopped for the time being, but of the rest, does anyone still buy these?
Any good ones or are they not worth it?
Feel like a wee treat.

Glossybox was brilliant, then lost its way for a while, but now is on the up, and I have enjoyed receiving these for the last few months (have been a subscriber pretty much since the beginning).

The other one that's worth a look is Birchbox - it used to be Joliebox but got bought out. I prefer it out of the two of them.

You're never going to be really happy all the time with every box you buy, but I'm satisfied / chuffed 95% of the time.

It depends why you're subscribing as to what you'll get out of it - if it's to discover new brands, or even brands you've heard of but wouldn't necessarily look at, then you'll be happy. If it's just a way to get value for money and big samples for a low cost, then I think you're more likely to be disappointed. Some of the best samples I've had are from brands I've heard of but wouldn't look at twice. Has opened my eyes a bit.

I live in France but take Joliebox and I used to have Glossybox. I love them, I've never had a box I've been unhappy with, occasionally there are things I wouldn't use but I hand them over to my sister, but more often than not there are great things in that when I try I love, and not necessarily sample sizes either, one month I had a full size tub of Garnier 7 day body cream. I use them as a monthly treat to myself and actually really look forward to receiving them.

It's nice to be given the opportunity to try new things, sometimes it's a nice surprise and you can become a convert to the products.
