Monthly Beauty Boxes:
About: Beauty samples delivered monthly. Often include Luna bars, perfume, nail polish, and makeup
Price: 10 dollars monthly this includes shipping
Size: Most samples are one time use but there are occasional deluxe samples and full size products
Pros: Point system- Every review gets you ten points, 100 points gets you 10 dollars to spend in their shop. Reasonable price. Items vary and there are sometimes surprises and options to get special boxes. Great for trying new products.
Cons: Since there are so many different boxes some lack value more than others. Their preview as to what will be in the box usually only applies to the very few good boxes. Many samples are only one use so you don't get a good feel for most.

Man, I had not heard of the loose button Luxe box so I decided to sign up. Unfortunately it isn't allow new subscriptions in the US. :(
ReplyDeleteThere is a wait list, i should probably add that information to this list. If you sign up they will notify you when there is a subscription spot open. For me it took about a week. I wish you lots of luck. =]
DeleteThanks for this post. I've been wating to sign up for a beauty box or two, but wasn't sure which ones would be worthy my time/money. This is super helpful.
