Beauty boxes: yay or nay?

Posted by on 1/13/12 • Categorized as Lifestyle

Maybe I’m late to the party, but I have just recently discovered the secret of cosmetics junkies everywhere: the beauty box. I love the idea of  trial sized cosmetics, delivered to my doorstep every month, for a low subscription fee. Now, my dilemma is which website to join? I’ve narrowed my choices to:

Birchbox:

For $10 per month or $110 annually, subscribers will receive four to five beauty samples from luxury brands every month. The samples are chosen by the Birchbox team, ensuring a surprise every month. Other benefits include discounts on full sized products ordered from Birchbox.com.

Beauty Army:

For $12 per month, subscribers get to personally choose up to six deluxe samples each month. Benefit is that I would choose which samples I want to try.

So what say you? Have you used any sample subscription service?

    I’m enjoying Birchbox a great deal. They’ve introduced me to my favorite new shampoo, conditioner, perfume and mascara.

    I am not really a beauty box type – I think I spend about $10 on my skin care and makeup every year, so it’s not a good idea just from a financial standpoint!  I’ve heard mixed reviews on Birchbox and never heard of Beauty Army… but if it’s something you want to try, I say go for the cheaper one :)  Let me know what you think – sounds like a great opportunity for a guest post :)
