As far as subscription boxes go Luxe Box is fantastic. Delivered quarterly.
Cost is: $26/quarterly, shipping included
You receive 7-8 trial-sized products.
I look at the different size descriptions as follows:
Sample size: Good for 1-2 applications
Trial size: Good for at minimum 10 applications
Full size: Good for a lot more applications than trial
Every box delivers as promised and often has at minimum 1 full sized product.

Mullein & Sparrow Tinted Lip and Cheek Balm
While a nice lip balm generally, calling it tinted is a bit of a misnomer - it doesn't transfer enough colour to tint anything. The scent is nice - herbal and subtle. Cost is high - I wish it provided the benefits to justify the cost.

Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Hawaiian Smolder
I like that the product is fairly sheer with a very subtle sparkle/satin finish. It is not particularly long lasting. Fairly opaque when applied. Scent is a little off-putting.

This product was an item in the So Susan monthly subscription service. Pleasant smelling, very soft texture that is a mesh of a lip stain and a lip balm. While the intensity doesn't stay for HOURS, it does stain the lips and give you a slight colour for a long time.
The colour I received is rhubarb rouge.
I can't seem to get the photo right side up... Sorry.

Nova Scotia Fisherman Xtreme Lip Care
Amazing all natural lip care product. Made with (some of the ingredients) beeswax, jojoba seed oil, shea butter, coconut oil, sea kelp, rosemary leaf extract. Cost is about $6.95 and it is amazing for my lips especially in a harsh winter.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara
I took this mascara on the Camino de Santiago with me (hike through Spain). It worked great - no streaking or leeching even when I was hiking 25-30kms a day.

I just purchased and tried the Joe Fresh Beauty Cream Eye Shadow for my blog. I was exceptionally disappointed. I purchased the colour Slate (as there was a limited range at my Superstore). It leeched, creased and slid until I resembled a hound dog. My boss even commented on my dark under-eye circles.
And from a cost perspective, it is not that cheap. As there is only 1.8g of product for $6, it works out to about $3.33/gram which is far more expensive than most of the drug store brands.
I threw it out. So disappointed.
