I wanted to become a member for a monthly sample box like Birchbox but Birchbox doesn't accept paypal, and I was going to join Eco Emi but they're full and not taking new people right now. Does anyone have any suggestions for good beauty sample boxes?
Try Eco-Emi again! I don't think they're full, you might just have to wait a bit longer for your first box. Love these 'monthly' boxes, if anyone knows of others, I'd be interested.
Eco Emi is still fill, but I signed up to be notified when they're no longer full and they're taking new people. I really want to sign up for a monthly box, but Birchbox doesn't accept paypal unless you get a yearly membership which I dont want
Do you have a personal account with Paypal? If you have one that accepts credit/debit cards then you can use your Paypal Mastercard (debit card) to order.
Birchbox is only $10/month with free shipping and EcoEmi (when its available for new people again) is $15/month with free shipping. I think those two are the cheapest!
Uhm...hands down BirchBox...beacuse last month i got a full sized Laura Geller bronzer and its my new lovee and the month before that a stila eyeshadow- and all around it makes me feel special to have presentd to unwrap every month :)
@Stormy - you're forgetting that they charge for shipping so the price is actually $38.90 which breaks down to $12.97 per month (if someone wants to compare it to Birchbox). And that $20 gift card is more of a coupon since you have to spend at least $100 to use that $20 card.
I think it's sneaky, Sephora gave out $15 "gift cards" but you have to spend $50 to use it. To me it's not a gift card, it's a coupon when there are restrictions. No restrictions = gift card.

Try Glymm in Canada! They haven't seemed to launch yet but a friend in fashion got their press release last week! They must be launching soon!

I doubt they're launching soon since their website says "coming Spring 2011" and tomorrow is the first day of summer.

Birchbox: $10 per month.
Test Tube: $38.90 (after shipping) every three months (which works out to roughly $13 per month BUT you get deluxe samples plus a magazine)
Yellow Box Beauty $42.90 (after shipping)
Makeup Monthly $30 per month (no idea if that includes shipping)
Beauty Fix $49.99 per season (4 times per year)

I agree! Birchbox is awesome, especially for the price! And the packaging is absolutely beautiful!

Test Tube is $29.95 a month and it ships 4 times a year, but it comes with a magazine and a $20 gift card to spalook.com, so really, it's $9.95 :)

@Yasmin - thanks for that bit of information! I didn't realize that you had to spend $100 to use the $20, I'm really glad I didn't get the Test Tube.

Thanks so much! I'm waiting on my first Birchbox, and I've already gotten my Eco-Emi box so I guess I'll just see how these go!
