Beauty Boxes: Are They Worth It?
So the past few months I’ve gotten a variety of different
beauty boxes and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. For those of you
who don’t know, beauty boxes usually contain about 5-6 products usually
considered “high end” brands but varying in size – some are sample size,
occasionally there are some full sized. Beauty boxes are a great way of getting
a variety of different products you normally wouldn’t buy but for a low monthly
price.
In my experience I have usually gotten at least one full
sized product in every one of my boxes. And usually the full sized product is
well over the price you even pay for the beauty box (for example, a full size
product may cost $40 in store but the beauty box only costs about $20 a month).
So right there you are getting your money’s worth.
If you are into beauty and want to branch out to different
brands I highly suggest investing in beauty boxes. Even if you are someone who
has never even step foot in a Sephora but wants to try some new cosmetics, I
think this would be the best way to go.
Some of the beauty boxes I’m subscribed to:
Glossybox – they provide GREAT boxes. And they take their
time with packaging so everything is always super cute. Their subscription is
$21 a month but if you choose the 6-month or yearly subscription you get it for
a cheaper price. They have a referral process so if you are interested in
checking out some beauty boxes, go here.
Birchbox – not as great as Glossybox, but still great
products nonetheless. Birchbox subscription is only $10 a month and although
they have a waitlist (usually only a 2 week period) for $10 a month you can’t
go wrong. This would be a great starter box if you are still on the fence. Join through the referral program here!
Julep – If you are obsessed with nailpolish the way I am
then this is definitely a great box to check out. This subscription is $20 a month
and they allow you to preview the items that would be included in your box.
They also let you choose a different “profile” if you don’t like what they
picked for you – and another great thing about Julep is that they allow you to
skip an entire month if you are unhappy with all the choices or just low on
funds. Subscribe to Julep via a referral link here!
Another great thing about beauty boxes is that they usually
have their own “stores” where you can purchase the full sized products of some
of the samples you have received in one of your monthly boxes. And they usually
provide coupons too! Even if you are unhappy with some of the products you
received, its not like it would be considered a waste of money. If anything, give
it to a relative or a friend…you never know who may like it!
