Ipsy has a new $25 Glam Bag subscription with full-sized items and we are in heaven

sudshr47 August 29, 2018

Heads up, makeup addicts: There’s a new makeup subscription box to drop monthly coin on, and it’s one we’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for.

Subscription beauty brand ipsy just debuted their new Glam Bag Plus, and yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking — filled with all full-sized products instead of their usual samples. Bless.

Before this week, Boxycharm was basically the only beauty subscription box to offer monthly doses of full-sized items from mainstream brands. Meanwhile, Birchbox, ipsy, and Play! by Sephora were battling it out to see who could pack the most value via samples (and maybe one full-sized item) into a $10 box. Read more…

8 of the best subscription boxes for beauty addicts

sudshr47 August 15, 2018

What’s the only thing better than going on shopping spree to Sephora and buying things you definitely don’t need? Having a shopping spree delivered right to your house and spending way less than you would in the store for the same amount of stuff.

That’s right, ya’ll, we’re talking about beauty subscription boxes. These are a clutch way to discover new brands and decide if you like a product before buying it at full price, especially when you’re too lazy to return stuff to the store (raises hand). The best part is that these boxes are always valued significantly more than what you’re paying — so you could end up paying $25 for a box that contains $150 worth of stuff. One tiny item at the store is usually $25. Who’s gonna say no to finessing the system like that? Read more…

MoviePass users cancelling their subscriptions find they can’t actually leave

sudshr47 August 14, 2018

Tried to cancel your MoviePass subscription? Some users of the movie ticket subscription service are finding they can’t actually leave.

Former MoviePass users are venting their rage on Twitter, after finding their accounts have not been closed as requested, and have instead been reactivated under new plans.

First reported by Business Insider, some complained on Twitter that users who tried to cancel their subscriptions were automatically enrolled in a “new plan,” detailed in a confirmation email.

“Please note: if you had previously requested cancellation prior to opting-in, your opt-in to the new plan will take priority and your account will not be cancelled,” reads one email, apparently sent by the MoviePass team. Read more…

Lyft Ride Hailing Apps Subscription Services Tech Transportation

Hardcore Lyft riders can sign up to pay less than $7 a ride — but is it worth it?

sudshr47 May 10, 2018

The subscription fervor that’s grown from Netflix to MoviePass is making its way to the road.

Invites through the Lyft app started going out this week to high-frequency “insiders” who want a chance to sign up for a $200 per month plan. (Note: That will set riders back more each month than Amazon Prime’s new annual rate.)

Once on the waitlist for the all-access pass — an upfront subscription for a certain number of rides each month — users can opt into a Lyft ride pass the company is testing out. The plan includes 30 standard Lyft rides. At $6.67 per ride, that could save a few bucks on longer, more expensive routes. Read more…

Subscription Box of the Week: Bubbles and Books

sudshr47 May 1, 2018

If you’ve been feeling stressed lately, you’ve got plenty of company. A study by the American Psychological Association found that about 63 percent of U.S. adults reported experiencing stress, thanks to anything from the state of the nation’s economy and healthcare system to national violence and crime rates … among other things.

Of course, some stress is absolutely normal, perhaps even vital. But living with prolonged stress can be psychologically and mentally debilitating. Now, we aren’t doctors here — if you’re very concerned about your stress levels, we recommend seeking medical help. But if you’re dealing with lower levels of stress, there are some handy ways to manage it. Read more…

sudshr47 April 16, 2018

If you want to design a great website, you’re gonna need some amazing icons. Whether we’re talking tiny bird heads, dollar-to-euro exchange symbols, or just emojis of people nervously whistling, a collection of tiny symbols and icons are a key part of making your website accessible and visually dynamic.

Instead of painstakingly designing them all yourself, sign up fora site like Iconscout, which is currently offering a lifetime plan on sale for less than $30.

Iconscout’s collection features more than 848,000 icons from more than 300 of the most highly regarded icon designers in the world.

A poorly designed icon isn’t just ugly, it’s confusing. So by sticking to icon experts, Iconscout guarantees that each icon will create the proper impression for your site’s visitors every time.

Crate Creation Subscription Box Subscription Services technology

This subscription box has everything you need to become a gadget creator

sudshr47 April 3, 2018

Bringing all your geeky ideas to life is easier now than ever! Components are available practically everywhere, and you can find many step-by-step guides all over the ‘net that can walk you through what you want to know. Unfortunately though, the best start-up tools for electronic creation aren’t free, but you do have few options.

You can teach yourself how to build your own projects (who doesn’t love a good DIY?) but expect to pay around $60 for popular components from official online stores.
You can always source your own components or buy kits online, but the ones on Amazon and eBay aren’t much cheaper. Not to mention, you could spend more time than you’d like searching for specific problem-solving videos.
You can decide on a subscription box service that delivers everything you need right to your door for as low as $29.99 per month. Read more…

Best subscription boxes for book lovers, from Cratejoy and beyond

sudshr47 March 28, 2018

Whether you curl up with a good book on a regular basis or miss the days where the stress of work and responsibilities didn’t eat up your reading time, one thing that won’t change is that books are, like, so hot right now.

While e-readers like the Kindle Paperwhite and Fire Tablet are a great way to keep your faves in one place — especially during a long trip — nothing beats the feel of an actual book.

There’s just something about that tiny crackling noise that accompanies opening up a new hardcover, the way you must delicately turn the browned and frayed pages of an old favorite, how returning to a beloved book is like seeing a good friend. Read more…
