April 2014 | Citrus Lane vs. Bluum Box

We've been getting Citrus Lane for a few months now & this was our first month receiving Bluum Box!!

This is not a sponsored post, I've paid for all of these boxes. I did get this first Bluum Box 1/2 off from following a friends link!

They're both simialr in that you can personalize them with the age & gender {or go gender neutral} of your child.  They both were delivered {to me} through Fed Ex → USPS.

My boxes were geared toward a 16 Month Old Boy

Citrus Lane Came first:






            

  Blumm about a week later:



       


Citrus Lane is $29/month
Bluum is $24.95/ month

And both are cheaper if you buy more than one month at a time.




Honestly I've gotten around 6 Citrus Lane boxes so far, they ebb & flow with the values. I've ejoyed everything we've gotten but haven't always felt like the value was there. And this first Bluum Box blew me away. I was impressed.

I feel like they both are worth trying out for sure. Especially since you can get both of them for 1/2 off your first box to try them out!

Goodbye Julep Maven! Terms of Service have changed!




I had a good run with Julep nailpolish subscription.
I really did enjoy the polishes, I found them high quality and the choices...so many colors!!

But alast, there is only so much nail polish {and I'm not in need of more makeup} that one can purchase in a year. Especially this season of my life, I don't even get to paint my nails all that often.
I canceled my subscription today. It was super easy just called their # and got through right way, the lady was super nice.
I could of just skipped this month, and continued to skip until I wanted to purchase again. BUT, although I still have that ability, their terms of service changed at the beginning of this year & new members no longer get that benefit. They have I think 2 skips per year, and they have to earn them by purchasing so many boxes in a row.
alt text
I couldn't continue recommending this service to my friends under those terms.
Oh well. If YOU love nail polish enough to purchase a subscription box at $20 a month that then this would be awesome for you. And no matter what the FIRST FREE box is worth giving it a shot {& it's super easy to cancel}
If you'd like to try the free box my friend Rhonda can hook you up
I did get my February as my final box..

And do like the colors! I think they're great for spring!
