“Less of a trap than the VIP-membership crowd because the $40 is real account credit, not store-credit-you-must-use-or-lose. Still — it's $480/year going to a wine company on autopilot. Worth it if you drink at least a bottle a week and like discovery wines. Skip if you're a "I have a specific bottle I like at Costco" person.”

“The lowest entry price in the beauty-box category, and the samples are legitimately deluxe-size. The catch is the cancellation timing: miss the 25th and you've bought another month. If you're sampling Ipsy as a one-and-done, set a calendar reminder for the 24th.”
