Are you always looking for new trends but don’t have the money to support it?  Then you should try out beauty boxes!  Here are a few boxes you should consider depending on your needs.

Korean products – Memebox

Korean products are all the rage but the shipping can be expensive!  Here is a way to try different products without waiting and paying for international shipping.

 

Nail polish – Julep

A good friend of mine swears by her Julep beauty box.  There is always nail polish included and the colors are pigmented.  It is every nail art lovers dream.

 

High quality makeup – Birch Box

Probably one of the most popular boxes and for good reason! They tend to have high quality makeup so that you can try before you buy!

 

Cheap – Walmart

At only $5, it can help you decide if are “about that beauty box life.”

 

Black-owned – Essence

If you want to support people of color AND have shades that were created for people of color, then you should try Essence’s beauty box that boasts just that.

 

I hope this has inspired you to find affordable ways of indulging in an expensive habit.  Happy shopping~
