Subscription sample boxes? What?

I wanted to do a blog post about all these new subscription boxes people are getting in to. I myself have two current subscriptions. One hasn't arrived yet and one has been pretty terrible so far.

The one that hasn't arrive yet is Julep Maven. I have really high hopes for this box. It is a nail polish subscription box, and it sounds amazing. More on that when it arrives. Here is a link to a video talking about the boxes and how amazing they are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RqzCBn6lXc. They have amazing coupons that allow you to sample the service for as little as a penny! The code I used was "PENNY" and I literally paid one cent! Here is a link to check them out... worth checking out for a penny, right? http://julep.com/?r=19928808 

The one I have been getting for a couple of months now, is My Glam. I had really high hopes for this one. It's only $10 a month and the concept is a great one. Basically, you pay for deluxe samples. You give them $10 a month and they are SUPPOSED to send you 3-4 deluxe sized samples and at least one full sized item. All of these items are wrapped up in an adorable little makeup bag and shipped in a pink bubble mailer once a month.

My first month's bag was late. We were told they were shipping by the 14th and mine didn't go out until the 20th. No big deal, right? Well, no, it wouldn't have been if the products inside had been worth anything to me, unfortunately they were not. My first bag arrived and contained a junior high-ish roll on shimmer from NYX (which I will NEVER use), and a bunch of ridiculously small foil samples that are useless to me because of their size. The bag was cute, pink with tiny black hearts. But definitely not worth $10.

My second month's bag was also late. Again shipped several days after they were promised. Still no big deal, right. Would have been if the stuff inside would have been as amazing as promised. Another cute bag, a bunch of foil samples and a terribly smelly pink eyeshadow blending brush that has been tossed aside and will not be used because of the odor.

I am giving them one more month. They say they are working on their process and the next months bags will be amazing. All I want is what was promised when I signed up, a couple of deluxe samples and one full size item shipped to me when they say it will ship, is that too much to ask? I don't think it is...
