What is the best beauty box subscription in the US right now?
As a self-proclaimed beauty junkie, I want to subscribe to a beauty box. I would prefer not to have a biased review to the total beauty box...but which are the best? Birchbox? Glossy box? Top Box? I've read a lot of reviews...but I'm a little confused. I definitely don't want to spend over $15-20/month on this...but I do want something special. More high end items are important to me. How stable are these boxes in terms of quality products every month? Thank you.

So I'm more of a skincare/make up person over nail polishes and other beauty items...have you heard of gloss box? I think that one is great because of the "high end" name, but its pricey. How do you feel about beauty box 5 (It has very extreme hit and miss reviews, but no one subscribes to as many as you do, so you probably have a great reading). What's glammy bag? Just wondering ...and thanks for the long answer, I appreciated it.

Another thing about the glambag that made me switch is the shipping! It seems to get slower and slower, on top of the duplicate products, it was worth a switch. I'll check out the place you recommended too

I think the best beauty box for men has to be the Ashton Kutcher box. For women the Fab Fit Fun box is pretty awesome. I found some pretty good reviews on http://bestbeautybox.com of all the different subscriptions.

I noticed no one mentioned elf's beauty bundle.. I am subscribed to Ipsy's Glam Bag & elfs beauty bundle... I LOVE them both. Ipsy, because I'm able to try full size products (and get a cute new make up bag each month) for $10.. The Beauty bundle is AMAZING! you get it every 2 months, its $19.99 for each box (so its basically $10 a month) and they send you a huge box with 11-12 FULL size products (I've received a different eye shadow pallet in each box as well). if I had to choose only one, I'd go with the beauty bundle 100%. I made "vine" videos for all of the beauty boxes Ive received. They're on my blog ( I don't know if your allowed to share a link to your blog on here) but if you go on vine, my user name is @aBlondeBabe, if you're interested in seeing the beauty bundles, glam bags, and i was subscribed to Julep for a couple months (wasn't a fan. its to expensive) Id rather stick with the beauty bundle. hope this helps!

Thank you - will definitely look into those, they sound right up my alley. Glamour magazine recently recommended the following: glossybox (I see reviews above), goodebox (never heard of it, and beauty army (heard of it). Any reviews on these ?

I dont know much about Glogg Box, the prias kept me from it. I tend to try and keep my subscriptions at the$10 each price point unless it has a skip option such as Maven Box, its $20 but I can skip any time and notbe chrged. I like Beauty Box 5, it can be hit and miss but with the price point i dont mind. I keep the stuff I dont use and put togeather small gift for my girlfriends every so oftern :) I love glammy bag! It can be hit and miss as well but its mostly hits for me! And it comes with a cute bag every month. You can see my review on Glammy bag on my blog saprinaD.blogspot.com and I hopeto add more reviews of all my subscriptions soon. Let me know if I can help you in any other way!
