If you love trying out new beauty products and getting packages monthly like I do, try out some of my favorite beauty subscription boxes! They often have special offers for signing up, such as a free box, or add on gift. You can also find codes online for discounts!

Birchbox

Price: $10  The most popular beauty box, Birchbox sends you five high end beauty samples. Each month that you purchase, you get Birchbox points that can be redeemed for full sized products on birchbox.com, making this box basically pay for its self!

Boxycharm

Price: $21 The most expensive subscription box I’ve tried, but the value of the Boxycharm is always over $100, making it worth it. There are always five full sized or luxary travel sized beauty products in each box- my favorite box came with a highlighter that usually costs over $30, plus four other items. A great way to try out makeup products for cheap!

Beauty Box 5

Price: $12 Like the name suggests, you get five beauty products each month. Each Beauty Box 5 is valued at over $35, and includes indy brands you’ve probably never heard of.

Walmart Beauty Box Price: $5 for each box, so $20 a year. The cheapest beauty box I’ve found. You get four Walmart boxes a year- Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The box usually contains 1 full sized product- mascara, lotion, shampoo, etc. It also comes with samples and coupons.

Target Beauty Box Price: Each box ranges from $7-$12 Target’s beauty box isn’t technically a subscribtion service. Each month they put out a box, and you have to purchase each one seperatly. This is nice because if you don’t like what you see in that months box, you just don’t buy it. These do sell out quickly, as they are pretty popular. Expect to get things like hair care, perfume samples, coupons, lotions, and more.

Ipsy Price: $10 Each month, Ipsy sends out five samples in a cute little makeup bag. You take a beauty quiz when you sign up, and this helps tailor your samples to you!

Beauty subscription boxes can be a cheap and fun way to try brands you’ve never heard of, or finally test out that one product you’ve always wanted to try. Getting packages in the mail never hurts either.
