Where are all of our gorgeous ladies at?! [looks around for every single woman we can find]
Okay, now that we have your attention, listen up. For the majority of us women, we love makeup and want all of it that we can get our freshly french-manicured hands on (shoutout to all my natural beauties who differ).
But if you’re anything like us wanna-be makeup junkies, you often find yourself completely overwhelmed walking up and down the stacked and shiny aisles of Ulta, Sephora, and any you-name-it department stores where you would willingly give every product a try if you weren’t on a conscious budget.
Well, we’re here to help you out with that.
Monthly makeup subscriptions will save your life by allowing you to try products of all kinds without spending a bag of cash every month. Plus, they’ll make you feel like it’s Christmas twelve more times a year and lets be honest… who in the world doesn’t want that?
*crickets*
We thought so!
Here are our three favorites to help make your monthly makeup dreams come true!
1. BoxyCharm
Ready to be charmed?
This trusty makeup subscription offers 5 full-size beauty products from today’s top and upcoming brands each month for only $25. They even offer a short quiz to make it easier to cater the products in your box to the parts of your face and skin you find most important.
And if you want to go even bigger than the normal monthly box, you can subscribe to BoxyLuxe, which offers an even bigger box with 8 to 9 products every 3 months so you can get the most out of your makeup experience.
Hello Ipsy, hello choices!
Ipsy Glam Bag offers 3 options that consist of sample-sized products, full-sized products, or a variation of both ranging from $12 to $50 a month. If you’re looking to spend a little less and still try 5 different products, the standard $12 glam bag with 5 sample-sized products may be for you.
What we love about Ipsy is that the beauty profile quiz is the very first thing you do before you even subscribe, showing how important it is to them to get your glam bag perfectly right! With Ipsy, you also get to choose one of your products each month.
3. Birchbox
Finally we have the lovely Birchbox, which offers a mixture of 4 to 6 makeup, hair, and skincare samples each month.
Their subscription options are a little different, as you can get a monthly plan, 6-month plan or 12-month plan, with the latter saving you an extra $2 at $13/month compared to the monthly $15 plan.
And for those of us who need a little (or a lot) of beauty support, Birchbox includes tips and tricks on how to use each product in your monthly box.
And lucky for you, Birchbox is far from stingy. It looks like they offer free full-sized goodies just by subscribing. Gotta love free!
Happy makeup-ing, ladies!
