Product Smackdown: Subscription Beauty Boxes
Some girls like flowers or sweet treats delivered to their doors. We prefer subscription boxes. There's something about a package arriving in the mail stocked with teeny-tiny products that makes us feel like it's our birthday, once every month.Subscription boxes are monthly deliveries of new, trial-sized beauty products that you can later purchase in full-size for yourself. The idea here is totally try-before-you-buy, and while you're at it, you can stock your travel toiletry bag with TSA-approved items far better than anything you could find even in the fanciest of boutique hotels.
The beauty and wellness world knows no shortage of subscription boxes these days, so we get how it might be a little difficult to decipher which one is right for you. We asked our intrepid Chicago editor, Shani Silver, to put six of the most popular services to the test. Read on for the inside info (literally) and find out which you should have delivered to your doorstep.
