Subscription Box Details

BoxyCharm is an upgrade from the standard IPSY Glam Bag and delivers 5 full-size products worth a total value of $200+. You get to handpick 3 of your items and enjoy 24/7 access to IPSY's members-only store. BoxyCharm always seems to be a hit for college-age women and above due to its versatility and relatively low cost.

One of Taryn Lowman's favorite boxes so far was the January 2024 box. It came with Rodial XXL Mascara, feel Squalane Facial Oil, REALHER Probiotic Setting Spray, GLOW RECIPE Niacinamide Sunscreen, and HALF CAKED Lip Duo. "This BoxyCharm by Ipsy was filled with essentials that I'm reaching for everyday! The mascara goes on like a dream, leaving me clump-free and curled. The sunscreen works to hydrate and leave my skin glowing while protecting my skin from the sun year-round, something that is really important to me. Honestly, I cannot say enough about the setting spray, it literally gives me a dewy glow all day. The facial oil feels great on my skin and is hopefully reducing fine lines and wrinkles quickly. While I didn't love the lipgloss duo, my daughter is obsessed with it!"

Subscription Box Details

Bespoke Post delivers a mix of clothing, gadgets, and home essentials from under-the-radar businesses. Their themed monthly subscription boxes are designed to introduce you to something new, like a trend-conscious take on barware or exploring a specific hobby. While Bespoke Post is beloved by our more adventurous readers and staff, anyone can benefit from their monthly offerings. Plus, you can set your product preferences and always have the option to skip a month (but we highly doubt you'll ever need to).

It's hard to pick a favorite box by Bespoke Post considering that our staff has reviewed dozens of them to date, but we thought the "Rare Box" Brandi received in November 2022 was pretty stellar. This set came with an Avanta Teak Wood Steak Knife Set by Messermeister, an Ancho Chile Coffee Blend Rub by Whiskey Bent BBQ, and an Echo Pocket Scope by Brunton. The knife set was a major win for both Brandi and her husband, "My husband and I have not purchased any new cutlery since we got married 9 years ago, and it seemed like it was time to upgrade our steak knives–so this box seemed like a great option!...Not only do these look incredibly nice, but they have a bit of weight to them making them feel sturdy and durable. These are definitely an upgrade to the knives we had previously!"

My daughter and son received their first-ever Panda Crate boxes from KiwiCo back in April. We got to try out the following plus-version crates: Let's Bond!, Let's Sense!, Let's Pretend!, and Let's Solve! Here's a quick recap of my experience: "Panda Crate was a total hit with my 2 kiddos! My newborn son loved the play mat, tummy time pillow, and small handhelds, whereas my 22-month-old daughter can't wait to get a hold of her cooking set, garden, and blocks each morning as soon as she wakes up. My son is gaining greater head control and making better eye contact through the help of their Year 1 crates, and my daughter is developing her problem-solving skills and vocabulary."

It's really subtle, but it gives this cute feminine look to the dress that I love."

Jeanne Sager has reviewed Norlii on several occasions and especially loved the items she received for her April 2023 review. "This time around, the items were all focused around bringing nature inside with warm oaken items and some florals...The oil and vinegar bottles included in this month's box are truly beautiful — delicate blown glass with round oak stoppers that add a bit of sophistication to their look. I have to admit that they're so pretty I almost don't want to put actual oil and vinegar in them and sully the look!"

Ink+Alloy is a female-founded accessory brand with a mission to empower women through every day, modern pieces that make a bold statement.

In her December 2024 box Christen received the pair of earrings she had been waiting for. "I remember this design from last winter, when I think it may have been a newly launched design. I wished and hoped and prayed these guys would come my way, but instead I was sent a pair of delicate hoops with silver tones—actually they coordinate with the pair I was sent last month. So, a year later, I'm pumped that this colorway is still in production and that it's now mine to enjoy. Greens and warm tones and metallic gold are all I ever want."

HelloFresh offers a fun way to try out new recipes each week that even the pickiest of eaters will love.

Each week you'll receive up to 6 meals, each of which comes with its own recipe card and required ingredients. Most meals take 20-45 minutes to make and there's something for practically everyone.

A few years ago we selected a handful of readers from our online community to help us test out HelloFresh. Jordan, one of our testers, shared "The food was awesome!! I thoroughly enjoyed all three meals and would totally order them again. On a side note, I’m definitely going to keep the recipes so that I can recreate them soon! The One-Pot Longhorn Turkey and Bean Chili was hands down my favorite meal. Super easy, extremely tasty, and quick! As a graduate student, I don’t have a ton of time after work and school and this was amazing."

Lindsey got to try Colombian La Plata coffee for her review and shared "This is the best coffee I've had in months. Frankly, it has just about everything I look for in a great cup: it's smooth, subtly complex, a little bright, and just plain delicious. I savored this coffee. Really, I loved it... From the perfectly roasted beans to the beautiful packaging, I found the entire experience delightful. Better yet, I feel good about this company.

Becca received her Ukraine Box in March which featured homemade bread chips, sponge cake, crostata, wafer rolls, and chocolate bars. Here's what she had to say about her favorite item, Choco Shocks: "If you have read any of my reviews, you'll know that wafer snacks are my favorite. This particular version is chocolatey and filled with cookies and cream. Crunchy, light, and delicious, this wafer is fantastic. With four squares of easy to break pieces, this bar is slightly similar to a Ferrero Rocher but with a cookie flavoring. My kids absolutely loved this chocolate bar, as did my husband and I. We have already added a few of these in our Yum cart."

Armoire is an upscale clothing rental service that lets you have your own curated closet full of items from brands like Joie, Brass, and Yumi Kim. We're a huge fan of their Unlimited Plan that gives you, you guessed it, unlimited swaps all month long. You can even adjust your subscription tier to make your plan work better for your budget in case you have a month that's not to hectic.

We're totally in love with all the statement pieces that Mary's tried in her Armoire reviews. But can we all take a moment to appreciate just how gorgeous that Yumi Kim metallic floral dress is on her from her April 2023 review? She rocked this look on her Nashville trip by pairing her dress with nude nylons, platform pumps, and a vintage Chanel bag.

Nicole sported a Mint Green Geo Print Dress by Maggy London back in her August 2022 review. "I love this retro mod geometric print on this dress. No shock to me that this is by Maggy London aka the Donna Morgan company... They all have nice prints, the fabric has loads of stretch, and they have a great vintage-inspired style. This dress is no exception to that rule. This is an ideal dress you could wear to the office and out with friends after."

There are no styling fees or returns with this service. Assuming you know your correct fit, Menlo Club provides a hassle-free approach to getting new clothes.

Tiffany Waldorf's husband, John, received several items from Menlo during her recurring review series of the brand. I think the way he styled the Five Four Will Scarf and Jacket combo in their "Get Comfortable" Review looks incredibly sharp. Tiffany wrote, "The jacket and scarf included in this month's Menlo Club package are perfect for the time of year and John will get a lot of wear out of them."

And I feel great in it! This is the sort of piece I would recommend for anyone, but especially for someone who doesn't think they can rock a bodysuit. You absolutely can! And you should.

Carlos has quite a bit of history with GQ Box. His Fall 2023 box which came with a Sudio S3 Speaker, Hawthorne Work Cologne, a MT from Wesn, and numerous grooming products. "The speaker is a nice item, even for long-time subscribers. The cologne was full-size and smelled great. The "multi-tool" is a solid bottle opener. And I liked all of the personal care products. If this is your first box, I think you'd be pretty happy...By my calculations, this box clocks in at around $211. That's about four times the cost for GQ Best Stuff Box."

Christen received a Waterproof Speaker by Speaqua, a Water-Resistant Bag by B Swim, and an Insulated Tumbler by Pirani along with several other items in her Summer 2024 Beachly Box. "The Beachly box might be here to keep summertime going all year 'round, but the Summer 2024 box brought so many useful items, with the gratification of being used immediately this season! I love that all 6 items were customizable so I could be certain I would only receive items I'd enjoy, and I had a hard time choosing between some of the wonderful options.

Whether you're a hardcore prepper or just looking to build a stash of everyday tools, BattlBox is there to help.

Carlos reviewed BattlBox back in April and got tons of gear! Here's what he had to say about his first experience: "The size of the box alone blew me away and what they filled it with did not disappoint...I was over the moon for the Kong Case... What a cool item to have in a subscription box. I really enjoyed the fixed-blade knife. I saw a lot of knives from other boxes and I think this was one of the best. The Fix it Sticks really impressed me. They will be great for tinkering. If I were a hunter, I'd probably be even more pumped. You can never have too many dry bags, so I'm excited to have another, larger one. They are so useful. The light is cute and I think will look great on my daughter's desk. And the shovel is something I know I'll be glad to have when I need it. Overall, I was knocked out by this effort from BattlBox."

I was honestly pretty impressed right off the bat, as I opened my box and found several full-size products to kick off my subscription...I’ve already found a holy-grail sunscreen to kick off the year, and I’m ready to add some of the additional products, like the Eva NYC deep conditioner and the RoC Skincare serum capsules, to my beauty routine. There were one or two items I’d skip for myself in the future, but I still had fun trying everything out. On the whole, I was definitely pleased with the value and variety of products."

Beauty Heroes goes for quality over quantity — you’ll receive 2-4 full-size beauty products from one clean beauty brand each month. Every product is required to meet their incredibly stringent Ingredient Standard and most products are certified organic. We love that every curation is seasonally appropriate and that they rotate products for skin, body, sun, and hair.

Christen was head over heels for her February 2024 curation: "Beauty Heroes brought the color, the bright scents, and the amazing plant-based ingredients this month with three wowing products that are unlike anything I've used before. The bi-phase toner is like a science experiment you can sink you face into, and I can't get over how refreshing it feels as it works to restore moisture and even the skin. The hydrating serum is a punch of pH-balancing botanicals that smells like a spa. The so-my-color guava oil is a little too aromatic for daily wear for me, but it honestly is an experience that breeds optimism in its hue and scent. What a bright spot in my month!"

Nourish Beauty Box is a plant-based, skin-focused beauty box that delivers nothing but 100% vegan-friendly products. You'll enjoy 4 full-sized beauty products each month that are consciously crafted by artisans. In addition to their monthly beauty box, you can also build your own bundle with their incredible selection of limited edition products.

Naomi received the following items in her July 2023 Box: NOURISH NATURALS lip stain, SERAPHINE BOTANICALS highlighting cream, PEONY mascara, ROSAFA face cream. "This was a solid month for Nourish Beauty Box! The highlight for me was the Rosafa Skincare face cream. I love how smooth and refreshing the product feels on my skin, and it’s meant to fight anti-aging, which I appreciate. Seraphine Botanicals’ cream highlighter was a surprise for me. Since the formula is oil-free, it does a much better job of staying on my face as opposed to some other cream blushes, which tend to slide right off. The lip stain from Nourish Naturals is always a welcome inclusion. I love how nicely it blends with my natural lip color, giving a bit of shine and hydrating my lips at the same time.

Subscription Box Details

Cocotique is evolving to become a one-stop beauty and wellness destination for premium indie, black-owned, and woman-owned makeup brands. Its beauty boxes include a versatile assortment of makeup, hair care, skincare, and more. Cocotique also operates a social responsibility program that highlights a different woman every month; the goal is to support women, promote self-care, and encourage people to “pay it forward.”

Naomi Pandolfi received the Essential Spring Beauty Rituals-themed box by Cocotique in April. It included the following items: REVEALU Gold Face and Body Gel Moisturizer, REVEALU Glow Face and Body Exfoliator, KREIZI BEAUTY Liquid Eyeliner Pen, PALMER’S Amino Bonding Complex Hair Oil, PH-D FEMININE HEALTH Women’s Health Probiotic, and DAILY CONCEPTS Makeup Remover Pads. Her final verdict was that "This was a great month for Cocotique! The highlight for me was definitely the surprise of not one but two RevealU products (moisturizer and exfoliator), both of which have become an important step in my skincare routine. Palmer’s hair oil is something I’ll be using on a daily basis, and it does an excellent job of smoothing down any frizz without weighing down my curls. The reusable makeup remover pads from Daily Concepts is another win, especially when it comes to travel. All-in-one sustainability and functionality."

Marne Orenich got a chance to try some of Factor's paleo-friendly and plant-based meals. Her favorites were the Meatless Walnut Cauliflower Bolognese, Paleo BBQ Salmon, and Quinoa Breakfast Skillet. "Being able to pop a fresh-made meal into the oven or microwave for less than five minutes and have a complete dinner is kinda nice. I found these meals to be delicious and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I'm really bad at nutrition as well and these are portion-controlled and seem generally quite healthy, especially if you're following a diet like keto or paleo. If you have the money, but not the time or energy for meal prepping, I think Factor_ is a great option."

You build your box each time and can mix and match as much as you'd like to create the perfect order for your family's needs.

Brandi tried out Nurture Life when it first came on the scene. Here's what she had to say: "As a mother of three, I really appreciated that Nurture Life was able to accommodate the needs of each of my children. This made it incredibly convenient to have it all delivered at once in one box... I usually like to let the baby eat what we eat for the most part, but these were great to balance out his meal and really ensure he got a full belly and I loved that we got two meals out of some of them. As for the toddler and kid meals, it was so convenient to have this quick and simple meal option for them on the night my husband was out of town for work and the night my daughter had dance class. My kids are super picky, especially my son, but since you are able to choose your meals, I think it would be great to have those tried and true favorites delivered on those weeks when you know you might need a quick and easy option for them!"

Lindsey Morse opened up about her experience with Atlas Tea Club, "I've been writing food and wine reviews for My Subscription Addiction since 2014, and I've reviewed quite a few different tea subscriptions in my day. I'm a big fan of loose-leaf tea, and I used to own my own coffee shop and bakery. Even though we specialized in coffee, we took tea very seriously, and I was proud to stock a wide selection of premium loose-leaf teas from around the world...Atlas Tea Club delighted my senses and introduced me to some new teas that I'll seek out again. The freshness was incredible, the taste was exceptional, and the aroma divine. I would happily pay out of pocket for an ongoing subscription, and I know at least two family members who will be getting a gift subscription for Christmas this year."

Subscription Box Details

The Original Craft Beer Club features craft beers from craft breweries around the U.S. They don't adhere to a specific variety, instead offering a surprise selection of ales, lagers, stouts, ambers, blonde ales, and everything else under the sun. Each monthly shipment contains 4 different styles (3 or 6 of each type, depending on your subscription), as well as their newsletter and occasional extras, like coasters. If you are a craft beer lover, then the Original Craft Beer Club box is a great place to start.

Taryn Lowman's first box came with a mix of beers from 3 Sheeps Brewing and Dick's Brewing Company including an IPA, Belgian-style Amber Ale, English Style Dark Ale, and English Porter. "This was my first time trying The Craft Beer Club and I really loved it! There was so much information about both featured breweries and great detail about each beer. I loved that each brewery added a recipe for a meal that would pair nicely with each of their beers. The best part is that The Craft Beer Club is doing a great job in highlighting breweries that might not be known to someone that doesn't live in the state that the brewery is located in. They are bringing unique beers right to your door to try, and this month really offered a unique curation of craft brews. My husband and I love trying new beers so this really was the box for us because you can't beat that overall value, plus free shipping!"

There's nothing quite like introducing a fresh new bouquet to your home. Floral arrangements add a touch of elegance to any space and can easily brighten up a dull room. Whether you need seasonal arrangements or tried and true classics, Bouqs is the place to go. We love that you can customize your order for each delivery and set a delivery frequency that works best for your schedule. And we can't forget to mention that their flowers stay fresher for longer since they're directly sourced from the farm.

Emily Cosnotti reviewed Bouqs a while back and received some gorgeous bouquets throughout her recurring review series. Her favorite delivery by far was the Deluxe Poetic Bouquet which came with roses, hydrangea, and eucalyptus. "The roses add value and color to the bouquet and I am always happy to see eucalyptus as it's one of my husband's favorite scents! The colors are muted and classic and I will be proud to display these on my dining room table. My flowers arrived in great condition except for a few of the eucalyptus leaves. An arrangement like this would make a nice Mother's Day gift... For me, there is value in the convenience of having these flowers delivered, and I don't mind arranging them myself, plus I appreciate knowing more about the farm they came from. If the delight of a surprise bouquet and convenience of home delivery are pluses for you, I'd recommend trying this service."

Jeanne Sager took on a recurring review series of BOTM and has racked up quite a collection of reads that have kept her on the edge of her seat. In March she received Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera and shared the following: "Tintera chose to tackle one of the meatiest topics in the zeitgeist in true crime podcasts, and she does so masterfully, carefully balancing her prose so you finish the book not quite sure where she lands on the format. Meanwhile she weaves a tale that offers a sobering look at the way society treats the opinions of men vs. those of women and a hilarious novelization of our obsession with true crime podcasting. Listen to the Lie was that sort of un-put-downable novel I finished in a day, and not simply for the laughs (although there were plenty). I just had to know where Tintera would take the mystery next."
