Is there anywhere to buy samples on a monthly basis?

Like the pick n mix that Feel Unique did (and Sephora cancelled)? A few for a set price, mix of types and brands I can choose from and ideally some Erborian and perfume.

I'm not sure if they're still operating as they used to these days but this is pretty much the Birchbox business model.

Thanks @botemp are they no longer just those monthly surprise subscription boxes anymore?

Last I heard you could pick your own samples/products, or at least give you an option to.

If you don't mind random stuff the glossybox and lookfantastic both do subscription boxes.

I definitely don’t want a load of random sub-box only brands like Avant. Can’t find any recent reviews for BB though.

I think it's nearly two years ago, or maybe longer 🤔 so not all that recent either but I was in the BB shop where they also had the sub box that you could pick yourself (for a one time purchase).

What I found annoying was that you had to pick one per category so you couldn't get two makeup or hair items for example, it was one of those each, something for the face, body and can't remember the last category (fragrance?). That would put me off on a monthly basis so if you are interested probably worth asking their customer service if that's the case for online too.
