“Girl, you definitely have to jump onto that subscription with Boxycharm, for $21 you get full sized makeup products and brushes!” That is what all my friends told me to do 4 months ago when I was deciding to what makeup subscription to subscribe to. Silly me ended up not joining until now, and guess what? I’ve been put on a waitlist. While that’s great news for Boxycharm, as they are in high demand, that isn’t good news for me or the rest of the like-minded makeup lovers that are trying to receive a Boxycharm box as soon as possible, as the wait can be between 2-6 months. Oh no. My friend actually joined in August and now is when she was taken off the waitlist.

For the rest of us patiently waiting, or..not so patiently waiting– there are other subscriptions I came across with that most people aren’t even aware of and it provides you with a pretty good deal on beauty care. Here are a few of them you might like to check out: 

 

LiveGlam MorpheMe Brush Club ($10 monthly)

This is all for my makeup brushes lovers! Brushes are so crucial when trying to create the perfect makeup look and now Morphe is providing us with this subscription for just a low cost monthly charge and you’ll be receiving quality brushes as they guarantee a value of at least $30!

So Susan Lip Love ($20.95 monthly)

Vegan, Paraben- Free and Cruelty- Free makeup lovers, this is here for you! This might be one of the costly subscriptions mentioned in this article but this monthly beauty box will provide you with 4 full- size makeup items that are vegan, paraben-free and cruelty free with great pigments, plus each time with a new makeup bag, might I say what a deal. 

Birch Box ($10 monthly)

This is one of the original beauty box subscriptions and they are great for discovering new beauty brands as they provide you monthly with 5 samples ranging from makeup, haircare, skincare, fragrances, etc. Oh and I almost forgot! They also let you choose one item of your choice for your box so at least you know one item that is coming in your box. 

Play! by Sephora ($10 monthly)

Most people aren’t familiar with this subscription but its a subscription from Sephora themselves providing 5 beauty samples with an additional sample of a fragrance. You’ll be receiving high-end collection samples for a low cost monthly subscription and you might be lucky and receive a new product they are showcasing.
