I don’t always post my videos here on the blog (which is why you should also follow me on Youtube!) but this one definitely needed to be on both! Little Black Bag is a monthly subscription service For $50 you will receive 2-4 items worth AT LEAST $100. Now that you have chosen your main item & received your bonus items, the fun can really start! This is the first service I’ve tried where the customer can barter with others to create the ultimate end result. For instance, you’ll see in the video above I received 2 bonus items & I wasn’t crazy about one. So then I started getting tons of offers to trade for other items! I also go offers on the other items I had but opted to keep them. Instead of getting something I liked & would have used rarely, I got to barter for earrings that I have a sick obsession with! Good trade right?

Is it pricier than Birchbox or MyGlam or Beauty Army? You bet. But there is a good reason. Instead of throwing away $10 on a box full of samples I MIGHT use, you can spend $50 for some seriously high-quality pieces. I didn’t end up with makeup this time, but if I had wanted some Cargo cosmetics I could’ve gotten them at a great price! Right now, Little Black Bag has some other beauty options including Mineralogie & ncLA Nail Polish, both brands I would love to receive. I am totally into the Cargo eyeshadow quads as well! If you’re not interested in cosmetics, some items I am loving include the Betsey Johnson sunglasses, Vince Camuto crystal bangles, & (no surprise here!) the fab BCBG purses they have available.

I still love my $10-15 a month subscription services, but I think everyone will like Little Black Bag. Most of the complaints I hear would be solved with this kind of idea! What do you think of this subscription concept? Would you be interested in getting or giving this as a gift? Plus, which items on the site are you digging?

*This service was offered to me for consideration to review. This does not effect my view of the service at all.
