Beauty Subscription Boxes
If you like trying new beauty products, a monthly beauty box might be a great option for you. With luxury name-brand products and new products recently released on the market, beauty subscriptions allow you to try out new goods without having to buy the full-version. Many companies make you fill out a beauty profile, so they know what’s most important to you when it comes to staying beautiful – and also so they know practical details, such as your skin-tone should they ever include a foundation.
Products in the beauty subscription boxes generally include all sorts of makeup, skincare products, such as moisturisers, bath gels, and facial scrubs, fragrances, nail polish, and pretty much anything you can think of when it comes to beauty!

Birchbox is all about the deluxe product, from top-of-the-line perfumes to hair care treatments.

Other companies are out there too, of course, with Love Me Beauty, Look Fantastic Beauty Box and Cohorted Beauty Box all trying to give you something a bit different for your money. nailbox is a very specific company that, you might have been able to guess, offers products to keep your nails in order. You Beauty Box allows you to pick your own products each month and Limebox is all about haircare products.
What Comes Included?
Obviously it depends on the box you go for, with each company tending to specialise in their own things. As we’ve already mentioned, nailbox send you things specifically aimed at keeping your nails looking sharp, metaphorically speaking. That will include nail polish, nail clippers and varnishers. Limebox is a subscription service from the Lifetree Hair Clinic, so you’ll get professional standard haircare products from them.
Generally, though, you can expect to get a selection of samples of beauty products from big name companies. The idea here is not that you get a full-size bottle of something that you can use indefinitely, but rather than you get a chance to enjoy a taster of something you might not otherwise have tried. Expect foundations, lipsticks, skincare products, fragrances and more.
