Beauty subscription services are popping up everywhere here in Canada (i.e. Glymm, Luxe, Topbox) but from what I can see, the Glossybox one seems to be the gold standard. Like the others, Glossybox charges a monthly fee and mails out luxury boxes filled with deluxe beauty samples every month to its beauty members. Products can include, but are not limited to, lotions, makeup, nail polishes, skin and/or haircare and arrive right to your doorstep!
Glossybox comes in a gorgeous and sturdy pastel pink box that is great for gift giving or re-using for storage. I use my boxes throughout the house and inside drawers to keep my things super organized.

- What I love about Glossybox and the whole idea behind the “beauty box subscription” is that for $21 a month (shipping is free and the cost is less if you opt in for multiple boxes at once), you get to try a variety of products from great brands. To keep things truly exciting, a surprise item could show up in a box at any time! Aside from the element of surprise (ok, I realize that not everyone likes surprises), I personally enjoy being able to test all types of products before deciding to make a full-sized purchase. I can’t tell you how many unfinished, neglected products I have lying around the house. Most of these products, I would have never purchased if I had tried a smaller size beforehand. The items that come in the box every month are not small or unappealing like in other boxes I’ve seen. There are some really great items from well-known beauty brands like Macadamia, NYX, Too Faced, Jergens, Wella, Zoya, Aveeno, Marcelle, Maybelline, Vitabath and so many others!
Signing up is easy. Just visit www.glossybox.ca to get started. I may also have a banner or link box on the left hand side of the blog that will take you directly to the website. Once on the site, and if you choose to sign up, choose your subscription plan, create your beauty profile and voila! You can also save $1.50 off your first box by using the code GLOSSY8 at checkout. This is such a good gift idea for that special someone (i.e. best friend, sister, mom) or great if you love trying out new things and are a beauty obsessed junkie like me. I’m not sure about you guys, but I definitely prefer this to a magazine subscription anyday!
