There are so many beauty boxes! How to you determine the ones that are worth trying? When you are searching for a beauty box it is important to take into consideration several factors:
Will this box offer me the type of products I want to try? Boxes may contain skin care, hair care, hair styling, makeup, makeup brushes and tools, nail care, home products and fashion products.
Am I okay with the sizes of the products I will receive? Some boxes contain only samples, while others offer full size products.
Will I have the chance to try new products often? Not all beauty boxes are the same, some offer monthly, every other month, quarterly and other subscription options.
Is it worth the cost? Fees can range from your first box free to upwards of $75 per month or quarter.
After months of trying and researching numerous subscription beauty boxes and services, these are the ones I feel you should consider trying.
