Top Beauty Boxes You Should Be Subscribed To
Birchbox UK

In the past couple of years, beauty boxes have grown in popularity. I mean what woman wouldn’t want a surprise of beauty samples sent to her home each month? While there’s tons of different boxes in the business, here’s a few I consider the best (and also the most inexpensive):


Birchbox


Birchbox is my personal favorite and one of the original beauty boxes. For $10 a month, you get five personalized samples. Products include high-end brands, popular items, and also new upcoming brands you probably have never heard of but end up obsessing over. Birchbox also allows you to choose one of your five monthly samples, so you’re guaranteed one fabulous find. I have found so many great new brands and products from this box. Their website also allows you to earn points for reviewing your monthly products, which you can use in return to buy full-sized products off their website. Love, love, love!

Pro: Most samples are a good size, allowing multiple uses.
Con: I honestly cannot think of one.


Ispy

Very popular and similar to BirchBox, Ipsy is a trending beauty bag that will be sure to help you discover some great products! It's $10 a month, five samples and personalized towards your favorite kinds of products. Brands featured can include Tarte, Smashbox, Buxom, Too Faced, and many more products ranging from high-end to drugstore. Nonetheless, your products will be varied and worth the money. Ipsy is a great beauty box to try, especially if you’re new to the beauty box world.

Pro: You get a super cute makeup bag that’s different each month.
Con: Sometimes you get lesser desired drugstore products.


Play! By Sephora


If you’re lucky enough to get off the waitlist for this beauty box, you will not regret the wait. This new hot box gives you five deluxe sized samples with a fun, collectible bag each month. In addition to the hand picked products, the box includes make-up tips, tricks, tutorials and a fragrance sample. Also included is a PLAY! PASS, which you can redeem in store for a free one-on-one tutorial with a make-up consultant. This box certainly does not disappoint!

Pro: All the additional benefits and goodies included in your monthly bag.
Con: Your samples aren’t personalized towards specifically you.


Honorable Mentions:

BoxyCharm, Petit Vour, Allure Beauty Box, and Target Box are also great suggestions if you’re looking for that perfect beauty box.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
