With a sea of cosmetic, skincare, and hair product brands to choose from, it's hard to decipher which ones are worth your hard-earned cash. Luckily for you, beauty subscription boxes are an economical and super fun way to try out all of the top-trending products on your beauty wish list without shelling out the big bucks.
The genius of these beauty subscription boxes is that they’re easy to set up. After selecting your delivery plan — usually monthly, bimonthly, or quarterly — the companies will ask you a few beauty and lifestyle questions to help curate the perfect box for your needs. After that, you can look forward to regularly receiving a compact box filled with exciting new beauty goodies. Often, these beauty subscription boxes are also filled with free bonus gifts like deluxe- and full-sized products.
Another perk of treating yourself (or a loved one) to a beauty subscription box is that you can help support women-owned and minority-owned small businesses.
Ready to subscribe? Discover emerging brands and tried-and-true products by signing up for one (or all) of the best monthly beauty subscription boxes out there. Here are 15 impressive beauty subscription boxes worth ordering as a beauty gift this holiday season (and beyond) without breaking the bank.
