Hello Beauts,

Yet another unboxing! I have one more box and I'll be done for January on my monthly boxes. Lol.

Basic Plan: $12/month - pay as you go
Convenient Plan: $11/month - $33/quarterly.

Here are my December & January boxes. I slacked on doing the unboxing because my daughter was born the end of December and finally got to do the video the other day.

The (initial) Skinny:

I love the concept of a Birchbox version just for moms with infants and toddlers, which are right up my alley! Boxes arrive in a timely manner and they send you shipping information on your box when it's sent out. They time it so that you receive an email talking about the items you just received after you've gotten your month's box. I'm really excited about so many of the items because they are items that I wouldn't personally buy just at first glance but now I get to try them out before I decide to purchase! You can also earn credits that can be used towards full size purchases by doing reviews on products you've received for the month!

Are you interested in signing up for a Bluum box (or 3?)?

I get referral credit (no $) if you sign up with this link  - http://bluum.me/xs1CYU

To get $8 off your first quarter's Bluum box, type bluumbaby in the promo code section when you check out!

I definitely think $8.33/box for 3 months is a steal!! Let me know if you end up signing up too!

January (?) Gogogirlfriend Unboxing

Hello Beauts!

Here is my January Gogogirlfriend unboxing. This box was meant to be a December box but only received it last week. Boo!

The items received were: 

• Comodynes self tanning 
• Blossoms Lip gloss in sunset
• Blossoms Lip pencil in current
• Blossoms all natural shea butter soap in Brazilian Jasmine
• Renu Derma creamy cleanser
• Blum facial cleanser
• Gogo Girlfriend floating candle
• Spa Terry Cloth adjustable headband

Thoughts on Gogogirlfriend as a company and its products:

This is my second box with GGG and I am not a fan of the company and its products. I feel that they have bad customer service and the products aren't very high quality with comparison to Birchbox.

The monthly subscription payment is taken during the middle of the month and you don't receive a box until the middle of next month. For this box, they deducted the $12.99 in the middle of December and I didn't receive this box until last week. I think that's ridiculous!

The products are items that I wouldn't purchase on an everyday basis, which is the nice thing about these monthly boxes - the discovery of new products. I could see that the total value of the products sent were worth the $12.99 paid.

I ordered a discounted deluxe box during the first couple weeks of December and I will do an unboxing for that once I get it! But for the time being, I have decided to cancel my membership with GGG.

Have you been with GGG for more than 2 months? How do you like it? What do you think of their customer service?
