Birchbox
$10/month
The Good
Super customizable • Loyalty points for discounts • Extra focus on skin and hair care • Great value for the price
The Bad
Samples can be tiny • Less than stellar customer service • Repeated products
The Bottom Line
For skin and hair obsessives, these monthly samples are a clutch way to discover new products — just don’t expect a $10 box to singlehandedly stock your collection.

The makeup world is officially taking over. This $60 billion industry continues to grow and according to Statista, “consumers have been spending higher levels of disposable income on cosmetics than they had in the past.” In fact, during economic hard times, buyer interest in cosmetics stays steady — something economists have cheekily dubbed the “lipstick effect.” Read more…

Heads up, makeup addicts: There’s a new makeup subscription box to drop monthly coin on, and it’s one we’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for.
Subscription beauty brand ipsy just debuted their new Glam Bag Plus, and yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking — filled with all full-sized products instead of their usual samples. Bless.
Before this week, Boxycharm was basically the only beauty subscription box to offer monthly doses of full-sized items from mainstream brands. Meanwhile, Birchbox, ipsy, and Play! by Sephora were battling it out to see who could pack the most value via samples (and maybe one full-sized item) into a $10 box. Read more…

What’s the only thing better than going on shopping spree to Sephora and buying things you definitely don’t need? Having a shopping spree delivered right to your house and spending way less than you would in the store for the same amount of stuff.
That’s right, ya’ll, we’re talking about beauty subscription boxes. These are a clutch way to discover new brands and decide if you like a product before buying it at full price, especially when you’re too lazy to return stuff to the store (raises hand). The best part is that these boxes are always valued significantly more than what you’re paying — so you could end up paying $25 for a box that contains $150 worth of stuff. One tiny item at the store is usually $25. Who’s gonna say no to finessing the system like that? Read more…
