About New Beauty's TestTube:
TestTube is more expensive than Birchbox, but only because you do have to pay $8.95 for shipping per TestTube. Each TestTube costs $29.95. So you are paying $38.90 per TestTube, and you will receive one every three months. Whereas you would pay $30 (including shipping) for three Birchboxes. The number of samples would be about the same, or a little less for Birchbox. But Birchbox does not include gift cards, full size products***, or a great magazine.
***Update: My mistake - I thought I had only received the first full size item in a Birchbox in May (after I had written this blog post), but in fact in the March 2011 the Birchbox I received contained a full size Pangea Organics - Lip Balm.
In my May 2011 Birchbox I received a full size Stila Eye Shadow in Black Cat.
In June 2011, I received a full size 32 oz. Laura Geller Baked n' Blush Brighten.
So yes, Birchbox certainly does include full size products!

TestTube contains about the same number of samples (or even more) than Birchbox, and it includes a $20 Gift Card to use at Spalook.com, and a New Beauty magazine which retails for $9.99.
Included is a brochure that contains information on each sample, how to use it, the ingredients, and an About The Company segment.
