Subscription boxes are on the rise as many promote healthy living and feature great products. You basically subscribe to get a surprise gift each month! They also make for great gifts if you are looking for something with a lot of different options. Whether they feature beauty products or healthy snacks, these are the top 11 subscription boxes we recommend for collegiettes everywhere!
1. Ipsy
This subscription comes packed with 5 samples, and sometimes, full sizes of beauty products along with a makeup bag. Subscribers take a beauty quiz to curate the ideal box of products for themselves. These questions ask about eye color, skin tone, favorite brands, and other preferences so your bag is full of good stuff for you. Featured brands include: Maybelline, Urban Decay, Tarte, Benefit, and Smashbox!
Starts at: $10/month
2. Birchbox
This beauty box delivers in an actual, small box and like Ipsy, features 5 items each month. The difference between Birchbox and Ipsy seem to be the brands that the boxes feature. While they both cater to beauty and makeup lovers, Birchbox offers different brands such as Dr.Jart, Shiseido, Clinique, and Bumble & Bumble.
Starts at: $10/month

Love snacking, but trying to stay fit for that bikini? This one could be the one for you! Graze offers a variety of healthy and hearty snacks, mostly featuring nuts and berries.

No worrying about portions or loading up too much on nuts that are high in calories!
Starts at: $14/month
4. Candy Club
This one is for those with a big sweet tooth. It’s also on the pricier side of the boxes featured on this list. Candy Club offers subscribers 3 different candies to try each month. From gourmet gumballs to jelly beans and gummy bears, this subscription box is truly full of surprises!

5. Love with Food
This unique box is much like the Graze box mentioned above. However, the items featured in these boxes aren’t portioned, and aren’t as healthy, but nonetheless delicious. All of the products sent are organic or all-natural, making for some more guilt-free snacking. Subscribers can get from 7-15 different snacks to try, depending on their monthly plans. This one is probably perfect for those all-nighters in the library during finals week!
Starts at: $8/month
6. Allure Beauty Box

7. Taste the World
This is another unique box that is curated to supply subscribers with, well, a taste of the world!
