As someone who likes beauty products (really obsessed), getting to try new products each month is like getting Christmas present each month that makes you prettier. Win win win.
BirchBox
I heard about Birchbox after a magazine article mentioned mail order beauty products on the rise. To sign up ($10 a month), you must request an invite from Birchbox and they will email you as soon as the subscription is ready (usually 2 or 3 weeks).
After you get an email inviting you to join Birchbox, it will ask you to fill out a questionnaire about what products you use and more specifically, what brands. A lot of the Sephora brands I love, Benefit, Too Faced, NARS, Lorac etc. are available for pickings and to get samples!
It comes in a cute, reusable box with a description and full size price of each item in case you wanted to buy it after using the sample.
Ipsy
Ipsy is a lot like Birchbox, also $10.00 a month, except the companies of the products are a bit unknown. The quality is there but name recognition is not. So if your looking for name brands, stick to Birchbox.
It does come with a cute makeup bag each month and as someone who is constantly buying makeup bags since my old ones get so cruddy with old makeup, its a big plus. The products are also 'full size' unlike Birchbox that calls their sizes 'large sample sizes.'
When signing up, you also fill out a questionnaire about products you prefer, any skin struggles and what you use (makeup wise) everyday, it's tailored to each individual!
