A beauty subscription box is a perfect way to treat yourself. If you are anything like me you love  trying the newest beauty product launches without having to spend hundreds of dollars every month. 

There are a ton of subscription boxes offered nowadays and it can be hard to narrow down the perfect box that fits your needs. 

Here’s my compiled list of the best subscription boxes for all the beauty lovers out there:. 

  1. Allure Beauty Box $23
    For the all-around beauty lover. 

For $23 a month, you get a minimum of three full-sized products and six in total valued at $100. Allure curate’s the box with hand-picked choices from luxury to indie brands. You also get a free gift with your first box. They also offer quarterly plans for $20 and annual plans for $19. 

  1. BeautyFix $24.95
    For the skincare lover

In this box from Dermstore, you get up to $100 value in skincare, makeup, and hair care products ranging from full size to travel size. Dermstore is one of the largest online retailers for skincare products ranging from luxury to affordable brands. For this subscription, you can pay monthly, semi-annually, or once a year. If you choose to pay once a month it will come out to $24.95

  1. Kinder Beauty Box $26 

For the clean beauty lover 

Each month for $26 you get five carefully curated clean products for a value of up to $165. This box may be slightly more expensive than the other options but you are paying for the quality of the clean beauty products. On Kinder Beauty’s website, they proudly state “We go out of our way to source products that are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from most common toxins.” If you want to get introduced to clean beauty products this would be the perfect place to start. 

  1. FAB FIT FUN $59.99
    Best Value Box

This box from Fab Fit Fun might be the priciest but has the best overall value on the list because you are getting strictly full-size products. There will be six to eight full-size products ranging from beauty and fashion to wellness and home included in your box. They offer two billing options: Annual and Seasonal. Annual you can prepay for 4 boxes per year where each box is $54.99 so you would pay $219 upfront. For seasonal payments, you can treat yourself to one box four times a year for $59.99. 

  1. IPSY $13-$58
    The OG Beauty Bag 

Considered one of the first beauty subscription services, IPSY offers three different bags with prices ranging from $13-$58. For $13 a month, you get the “Glam Bag” which comes with five personalized deluxe-sized beauty products and one product you get to hand-pick valued at $50. You could also upgrade to the “Glam Bag Plus” or “Glam Bag X”. The best part about the IPSY bag is you get to personalize your products. When you become a member you take a 15 question beauty quiz to set your preferences in terms of skincare, makeup and hair care. These preferences are connected to your account and determine which products you will get monthly based on your answers to the quiz.
