Have you seen those beauty subscription boxes all over your social media? There are SO many different types, how do you know which one is actually worth it or not? Some of the boxes you might be familiar with are Ipsy, Julep, MINTD, Fab Fit Fun, etc. But I’m here to share the only beauty subscription box you should treat yourself to this year and why I think it’s the bomb diggity!!

I’ve tried a few different beauty boxes and my favorite (by far) is Birchbox! The whole reason I was interested in these boxes is because I wanted to try out new products but without having to buy the full size first. Nothing is worse than buying a full size product to find out you don’t even like it in the first place and now you’re out $30+. Another reason why I love this box is because you get to not only get good size samples but you get AMAZING brands inside such as Oribe, Stila, Kiehl’s, MAC and the list goes on and on. Seriously, they all rock.

The design of the boxes are so much fun! You could honestly save the tops and make a collage on your wall or use them again for storage. They feature fun patterns, bright colors and it just gets you so excited to open your mailbox. My favorite part about the box is that it is customizable! All you have to do is download the app and fill out your profile telling them what type of hair you have, your beauty interests, etc. You have an option to be surprised every month so they pick the 5 samples based off your customer profile. You have the option to pick one item out of a list and the rest is a surprise or you can choose the curated box. The curated box is hand selected for that specific month on whatever they are featuring and you will know what you’re receiving. I like to switch it up from month to month :) If you’re looking to up your beauty game this is how Birchbox works:

Fill out your profile — Tell them about your beauty preferences and they will use that to customize your box from month to month.
Explore your box — Your 5 samples will be a mix of awesome brands so you can discover what works best for you and find your new favorite things!
Buy what you love —After sampling, if you love it, you can purchase the full size versions and get FREE shipping. Get $1 back in points for every $10 you spend online. It’s a win win situation here.
Better your box — You can chose one fo your samples each month starting with your second box. (Your first box is a welcome, curated box!)

If you don’t think a beauty subscription is for you but maybe you know someone who would love it, this makes the PERFECT gift. Your best friend, mom, bride to be, mommy to be, or a just because. This is the gift that keeps on giving, literally!

Remember, you don't need to be a model to look and feel amazing nor do you have to spend big bucks to do so. All you need is a little confidence and a killer shade of lipstick!
