Discover With Marta Subscription Box Review

In my never-ending quest to subscribe to all the beauty boxes, I decided it was time to subscribe to Discover with Marta from Truth in Aging. This box ships every other month, and you must pay the full year up front ($144), but after seeing what's in the first box I received - I definitely think it's worth it!

Discover With Marta Subscription Box Review

The Box: Discover with Marta

The Cost: $24 a box with free shipping (a one time up-front fee of $144)

The Products: 6 deluxe skincare and beauty samples delivered every other month.

Ships to: Everywhere! Free shipping to the US, and an additional $20 one time fee for International customers.

It looks like they are still shipping the Summer 2013 box, so if you're interested and sign up soon, I think you would still get this box.

Each box comes with a sheet detailing every item in the box and a letter from Marta.

This sample set includes: Lite Day Cream (Value $13.40), Rich Day Cream (Value $13.40), Cleanser (Value $6.30), Face Serum (Value $16), Eye Serum (Value $24.75) and Night Cream (Value $9.40).

I'm so excited about this natural beauty skincare sampler! I sampled the Cleanser in January Sample Society box, and loved it!

BRAD Biophotonic Skincare Ultra Peel - .25 oz Value $25.75

Michael Todd True Organics Jojoba Charcoal Facial Scrub - 30 ml Value $5.30

This Ultra Peel is supposed to "reveal youthful looking skin by promoting cell renewal while fighting pigmentation, dryness, acne, fine lines and wrinkles."

I can't wait to try both of these items - I love finding new natural and organic skincare products.

W3LL PEOPLE Universal Multi-Use Color Pot in Moonstone Glow - .1 oz Value $10

I use W3LL PEOPLE lip balm and love it - it's a great natural cosmetic brand. This Moonstone Glow will definitely go to use immediately as my new highlighter!

Amarte Natural Finish BB Cream in Light Tint and Natural Tint  - .1 oz each Value $7 total

These samples only have about two uses in them each, but it was enough for me to tell that I like the coverage this BB Cream provides. (For now I'm sticking with my Supergoop! CC Cream though).

Verdict: I paid $24 for this box ($144 up front), and received about $130 worth of high quality skincare and beauty samples. I am THRILLED with the value of this subscription! I also really like that every item selected for this box is natural or organic. I will use every single item, and I can't wait for my next Discover with Marta box to arrive. What do you think of Discover with Marta?

This box looks amazing! Perhaps even the best-value-for-your-buck box out there! Whenever, I have an extra $144 (probably after the Holidays) I will sign up!!!

Oh wow, I would also be rushing over to sign up for this if it wasn’t for the paying up front for a year in advance, just can’t do that…… too bad, maybe they’ll change to monthly if they realize that enough people are in interested in this type of sub.

I got the Charcoal Scrub from ipsy too, and I found it to be a very gentle scrub. Can easily be used every other day. The Snowberry sample pack looks awesome.

Wouldn’t it be $24/box since you only get a box every other month?

Would absolutely subscribe if it weren’t a year up front. Just not in my unemployed budget. Maybe next year.

That Jojoba Charcoal scrub came in my Ipsy bag last month. It’s very nice, but I find it a little messy so it stays in my shower.
