If lockdown has taught us anything, it’s how much we love getting goodies delivered directly to our door. And when those goodies arrive in a curated box filled to the brim with exactly the skincare product or green beauty lip balm that you've just been dying to try, then lockdown starts to feel more like a luxury spa experience than a self-quarantine.
Beauty subscription boxes come with a bright burst of benefits, such as finding the perfect skincare product to discovering your next favorite beauty brand.
Not only are they the ultimate treat in a time when self-care is topping our list of needs, but they also usually come at a pretty affordable price too. A monthly beauty subscription box can catapult you out of feeling stuck in the same old beauty routine and bring our dull, tired skin back to life.
Because when slathering on a few select choices from the beauty samples you receive in your beauty box subscription becomes your new skin care routine, what's not to love?
There’s something enchanting about cracking open a box of beauty toys and for the beauty lover who adores the charm of cosmetics, creams, and pretty things - this list is exactly the pick me up you need.
Take a look at our favorite beauty box subscriptions and prepare to be pampered...
