What do you think about Beauty Boxes?

Hello.
Yes. It has been a while since my previous post. University life took over.... apologies.

Anyway, I am back today to ask you about Beauty Boxes. Are they a good idea or not.

Over the course of this past 2 years, I have tried out some subscription type boxes and some one-off type boxes from both Birchbox and LatestInBeauty. When you see the difference in the value of its actual worth and the price of the box, it sounds like such a bargain. Not to mention the excitement of getting a post!! I'e listed some other pros and cons.

Pros

• Good value for money 
• Discover new things
• Get to try out a wide range of things without committing yourself to the full size product (in some cases)
• Get some discounts on the product if you do love them and decide to purchase
• It is just simply rather exciting!!

Cons

• You accumulate things that you don't really need
• There are always going to be a type of product that you don't like or use (bronzers in my case)
• You get multiples of the same thing 
• You get the same type of product (what are you meant to do with 3 brow kits!! It takes a while to finish 1 off let alone 3)
• There's going to be good months and bad months

I think Beauty Boxes are great now and again for treats or gifts but a subscription that gives you one every month is in my opinion too much, especially for those who doesn't make testing and reviewing products their job.

Let me know what you guys think!
