I think it was obvious that these are just gonna get worse as time goes on. By the time you quit, they have already made some money from you.

Most of the companies probably give them free samples to distribute because they are new and trying to get the brand/product out there. I do a lot of online shopping and I often get free samples of new products with my order and this seems no different except you’re paying for it.

Well, I dont know about that. I mean, I have gotten full-sized products (NARS, Laura Geller, Zoya etc) and there have been a few products that I got which I ended up buying full-sizes of because they worked so well. I got another Laura Geller baked blush, Philosophy’s Purity Cleanser, Khiel’s oil-free moisturizer and of course the Ouidad hair “gel” for curly hair (which btw IS the best curls-product I have ever tried and the only product that defines my curls while still keeping them shiny and non-cruncy. And that too from just ONE product as opposed to a combo of 3-4) and all these products I would have never known about had it not been for Birchbox, which is what makes me not want to cancel right away.
>.< This was the only month which I was “meh” about it.

I’m going to give it a month or two and if I get any boxes which has products I could have gotten for free from a Sephora or the likes, I am def. cancelling.
