Discover With Marta - 1 Year Membership (6 Sample Collections)

Thanks for inviting me to join. I'm ready to get started...

Hi Rose,
Unfortunately, discounts cannot be applied to the Discover With Marta Program. My apologies for any inconvenience this might cause!

I had a 15% off promo code now I can't find it to use? Help thank you

This is a question as well. Would there be some sort of an eye product in the upcoming collection. Thanks!

I received my first package and was so excited to receive it. I have tried a few of the products already and like what I have used. The Discover with Marta collection is such a great way to try high-qualiy products at a very reasonable price! I am so glad I subscribed to this and kind of feel like a kid at Christmas looking forward to receiving the package and "playing" with the products.

I just received my first Discover with Marta shipment. Sensory overload!! Can I try it all at once?!

I'm so excited to try everything. I promise to pace myself and leave reviews on each product as I try them. But as far as presentation and what it included in the box...I am impressed!

I am about to order my third year. Its a fantastic way to try out and learn about products -especially serums. I live in Perth, Australia and have been introduced to so many great anti-ageing products which I now order online and use after trying the samples. Thank you Marta - your choices are always spot on for me.

Hi Carole,
The Discover With Marta membership is currently offered as a one time annual fee of $144 (which averages to $12 per month). I hope this helps!

Do I have to buy the whole year? What if I just want a one month subscription to see if I l like it?

Hi Kelly and Sophie, membership outside the US costs an additional $20. There should not be any duty to pay if the products are made in the US and are for personal use.

I am considering getting a membership, as is my sister. We would like to know how it works insofar as tie, duty cost, for Canadian (International) subscribers.
Many thanks,
Kelly & Sophie

This last box was one of my favorites in terms of variety. I'm not sure how many I will actually purchase, but enjoyed having something other than creams and serums. A bonus was that there were no sample "packets", only small bottles or containers. I hate packets and usually end up throwing them out after a few uses because they clutter up my bathroom sink. I would love to see more make-up type products and a lip product, pleeeeese!?! Also, I think this was my last box but am not sure. How will I know when my subscription has expired?

I just received my Summer DWM subscription box and I am in love with the variety of products that came in this box!!! I also like the combination of skincare items and beauty items, and truly appreciate that you included some more "natural" products, like the color pot from W3LL people. I am super excited to try everything!!! I had subscribed to a few other beauty boxes, but found that I only used a few of their products (either colors were wrong, it was a product I wouldn't use, or I just didn't like the quality). I have let those subscriptions expire. I always use everything in my DWM box, and find the quality of products, variety of samples, and sample sizes t be exceptional (plus some have been large full-sized products and not samples). DWM is the one subscription box I will be renewing!

Hi Beth
The Discover With Marta box focuses on anti-aging beauty products for skin and hair. We curate deluxe samples from the manufacturers whose products have been reviewed and recommended by the community. Although full of surprises, the collection is never random, but always provides the highest quality possible

Received the latest set of samples today. Just one word to describe them...beautiful!

I belong to another subscription service called Goodebox. How is your subscription service different?

Thanks!

Hi Asya

We will start shipping DWM from the UK starting with the Fall collection.

Marta,

now that you can ship from the UK, does this cover as well DWM (meaning no customs charges, etc.)?

Hi Debra, yes we do ship to Australia and we have many international members of the DWM program

Hi

I would love to sign to the Discover with Marta Memebership - do you cover Sydney Australia?


Look forward to your response

Nadia

I acquire a lot of samples, of which, 75% I throw in the trash. I put off signing up for Discover With Marta for a long time because I thought it would be wasting my money to pay for samples that I'd probably just throw in the trash. One impulsive day I did sign up for Discover With Marta and now after receiving my first box Early Summer, I can say that I WAS SOOOO WRONG!! What makes the Discover With Marta Box different is that it's contents are CAREFULLY curated with QUALITY products. Some of the products are ones that I probably wouldn't give a second thought to purchase but find that now that I've tried them....I LOVE THEM (Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip & Cheek Stain & Osmosis Polish). You also get a discount if you want to purchase any of the products in the box...how great is that?? I love the little box with the ribbon bow tie too...wonderful presentation. I can't say enough how happy I am that I finally signed up!! Thank you Marta * I can't wait to get my next Discover With Marta Box!!

I've enjoyed trying the samples every other month. They are quite generous and I do get to try products I know I might be slow to buy. Thanks. Now, I'm wondering what's in the Early Summer 2013?

I would. Love to try louminous skin brightner& wrinkle creme i63 yrs old help me

Thank you Preksha!

Hi Marlene,
Please email [email protected] with your full name and order number for Discover With Mart and we will look into this immediately. Thanks!

Hi Dee,
The Discover With Marta membership is currently offered as a one time annual fee of $144 (which averages to $12 per month). I hope this helps!

Haven't received anything!

Is this offered with monthly payments? That's what it said in the email but I don't see it.
Thanks very much.

Hi Marta, I received the Spring Discover Box and love it! thanks so much for the larger sizes. It really helps when evaluating the products. I know I love the Stemulation Daily Micro Derm Scrub...it's a wonderful way to start the day.

Spring 2013: I just received it in my mailbox today (Sweden is far away sometimes... ;)).

I can only say WOW!!! What a collection *super-big smile*
I can't wait until tonight to begin using the products!

A big hug and a Thank you, Marta and all your colleagues, for creating this wonderful product "DWM"!

Spring 2013: While the sample sizes were very generous and the products were interesting, I was disappointed by the number of products that contained questionable synthetic preservatives. I hope future boxes contain more natural products.

Marta I just got my Spring Collection on Saturday and what a wonderful surprise. I used the new Hair Vitality shampoo with the conditioner and wow what a difference it made using the 2 together. My hair had so much body but what I noticed most was the smoothness without weight. Wonderful product thus far.

So many great products to try. As always, you really put together a wonderful collection.

This is a very generous size of product samples. I love it. Best way to try before buying the actual products.

Good idea, Marta.

My Winter Collection arrived today-and it's my birthday!
One of my husband's gifts to me today on seeing my delight, was to renew my membership (last year was also a birthday gift!).
Thank you so much for including relevant samples for anti-ageing in particular. I like to try before I buy and why I support TIA is the fact that we all share a common goal of informing ourselves about skincare trends. Being In Australia I do feel frustrated that there is no TIA here (postage is expensive!) but there it is...TIA is still the best value for money-loads of quality products,informed communication and a great sense of community!

Hi Gloria, the Hair Vitality Conditioner is just a conditioner - it is designed to complement Hair Vitality Complex and encourage healthy hair growth and volume. And we are still working on a shampoo.

Marta, I just received my Winter Collection and WOW what a nice collection. Very nice.

I have one question about the Hair Vitality Conditioner. Is it a shampoo and conditioner? I know that sounds crazy to ask but like the WEN products are actual conditioners and shampoo in one.

Thank you again for picking such awesome products for us. It is so worth it for us.!!

I started reading Marta’s articles about finding effective skincare and makeup that aren’t made with toxic substances back in either late 2008 or early 2009, and I’ve been a devoted follower ever since. At the end of December 2011 when the Discover With Marta Collection was launched, I knew I had found the mother lode. After six amazing shipments I knew the $144 I invested on December 24, 2011, as a special holiday present to myself was very well spent. I enjoyed not knowing what was going to arrive with each shipment. I do have a sort of blind faith in Marta’s sense of what’s a worthwhile product, which buoyed my anticipation. While not all of the products I received worked for me, I was thrilled to get to try them and it prevented me from spending money I would have regretted. I happily purchased (with the 20% off discount that I got as a member) those that worked for me, and I gave the products that did not work for me to grateful friends, and now they’ve been converted too. I feel a little goofy admitting it, but I am so excited to see what the next Discover With Marta Collection will bring!

Thank you Gloria and Charley (and everyone) for taking the time to comment. I am especially glad that you like latest collections. I feel that we are really getting into our stride with them and the companies we work with have been marvelous. The Fall one is already sold out and we are working on the Holiday Collection (with a bigger run so that we can bring in more new members).

Wow is all I can say about the Discover with Marta collection. Charley said it wonderfully about it being priceless that we can sample before we invest a large amount of money for something that isn't what we hoped. The only problem I have is what do I try first!!
Such a wonderful idea and so worth the money. The bag is so pretty and a nice change from the boxes. I always seemed to find another use for the boxes but I always need another makeup bag.

I have never been disappointed in any of the collections and look forward to the next one. I have saved myself quite a bit by the value these have provided. You get so much more than what you paid for the membership. Thank you Marta and TIA community.

These Discover with Marta boxes just keep getting better and better. If you're on the fence about purchasing membership for a year, you'll want to start NOW. The Fall collection (September/October 2012) has 3 (!) kinds of serum for the face so you get a chance to see what different skin actives do for your skin, and AQ's eye serum which seems like a runaway hit from the start. There's a sample of the highly effective Skinfinite Micro Derma Scrub. And and and the makeup bag it comes in is so beautiful. This is such a great value -- more than your money's worth of products, and even if you end up with one or two things you don't like in a collection, the opportunity to sample high-end skincare products before investing in the full size is priceless.

Love the collections and have found most of the samples to be larger than a typical sample size which is nice for a true test.

Hi Gloria
I had the same issue with the Snowberry. Tapping it a few times against a hard surface and/or shaking it seems to help.

I am so excited for my new Discover box! I was out of town and when I got home there it was. The Snowberry Lite Day Cream I could not get to come out of the bottle. It is an air pump and maybe it is something I am doing wrong. I love the cream but I may need more moisture come winter. One of my faves the Osmotics Firming Elasticity Repair was a wonderful surprise. It truly does firm your face!

I am a little reluctant to try the Royal Nectar mask because I am allergic to bees. What is anyone's opinion here on that. I have been using the Sevani Eye serum on my lip lines.

I just love getting these wonderful packages every 2 months. It is well worth the money and it allows us to try before you buy. This was such an awesome idea. Thank you Marta and to all of the companies who provide these products!!

I just love to Discover with Marta. I've received four boxes now, and I feel I've gotten my money's worth many, many times over. The products are so well-chosen, and the samples are large enough to really enable me to decide whether or not this is something I should add to my routine. I've discovered some wonderful products that, due to their price, I never would have splurged on without the opportunity to test them (ReLuma serum; Bioeffect serum; E'shee Aqua Radiance Hydro Mask). I've also discovered one product that I would never have tried because I would never have believed it would work: Lumixyl Topical Brightening Cream, which has dramatically faded my hyperpigmentation spots. And I have converted to Lumixyl Moisture Lock Sunscreen (and the full-sized "sample" of that product was a real treat!).

I've also had fun testing some products: I used an eyelash growth product on one row of lashes only and then asked my friends if they could pick out the treated row (results were mixed & the jury is still out on that one).

And I've learned much from the notes that come with these samples; I've come to serious skincare later in life, and have some catching up to do.

Christmas comes six times a year with this program. I gave it to my 80-something mom for Mother's Day, and she adores it. She's been a devotee of the Neiman Marcus cosmetics counters for years, but doesn't get out the way she used to, and really enjoys getting these products delivered to her, and has found some new & wonderful alternatives to her fancy NM brands.

Thank you, and keep up the fine work!

I received my box on Saturday. The first thing I tried was the Royal Nectar mask. Love it! Here it is a sweaty Monday and my skin is still glowing. I only used a teeny bit too. The sample is going to give me quite a few uses. I enjoy the vaguely British-Old-Grandma fragrance.

I finally got Discover kit and your advice is really coming in handy. I'm very excited about the Skin Nutrition wrinkle reducer, and other products I want to give them all a fair shot.

It's a thrill to try new products, esp. ones so well curated as what's available at TIA -- and I'm so thankful to have found your website for all the research, candid opinions and access to the best skincare store there is. But since I'm still searching for an efficient and effective skin care system at a price I can afford, something to return to again and again, the YBF Correct of routines as some of you might say, it's important for me to assess these products in the right combination for the right duration. So thank you!

I just love being part of Discover with Marta. It is so fun to get the box and open and explore everything.

Greetings from Finland! I have long wanted to write to thank you for the useful information you give and for the wonderful DWM package. I got my first DWM-package in early April. There was an extra gift: a full-size bottle of hair serum. I do not know whether it was a error, but I was really grateful and excited to try it

Marta I have to say the products in the box have been wonderful. I have to say I am really loving the Lift Lab Travel set and I absolutely love the eye cream. I think it has really reduced the puffiness for me more than even the REluma or SenZen. I will keep using it until it's gone. Thanks for picking some wonderful products.

I have to say the products you included in the discovery box are excellent – all the products I wanted to try. However, I have only one body and it does take time to try all the products – how much can one put on the face I wonder?. I’ve made such testing my new hobby now instead of reading my tax or law journals and I’m really enjoying it. I have to say your website is really refreshing – it’s never stale and there’s always something new - well done, Marta and to your team for sharing all your research and reviews.

I just received my box today. It is so much fun to get these, like a present and it's not even your birthday! I want to give a shout out to whomever designed the elegant little box and makes sure to include the tissue. May I suggest a sticker or imprinting the TIA logo on the top? While the packaging won't make me look younger, it does make me feel special. Printing the ingredients and instructions on the sturdy card stock is another little luxury. Of course, all the unique goodies in the box are so fun to try. How nice to find this waiting in my mailbox, amidst the bills and junk mail!

This looks like an amazing array of samples to try. I've been dying to test out the Skin Nutrition and Lift Lab products. I wrote a review of the Bioeffect and while the sample size looks small, a little goes a very long way. Mine lasted for at least three months used sparingly. Can we still purchase these boxes individually without joining for the whole year? I didn't sign up for the last one since I was already using most of those products....

Hi Debra, that's a great suggestion and we'll start including instructions in the next boxes

I enjoyed your "discovery box" and hope you continue to offer these. One suggestion - you might want to include directions for usage. Some are samples and either don't include directions or writing is to small to read. And, I found it difficult to find info about some of the products on the website or online. This is a great way to promote products and try them out!
