My heart is fully in the beauty world. With my mom being a hairstylist, I have been working or hanging out in salons and spas since I was in 5th grade. I am always fascinated by how beauty products have evolved over the years and how beauty subscription boxes have played a huge role in how this industry has changed and grown. I have been lucky enough to review some of the best of the best beauty boxes over the years, which is why so many of my family, friends, and neighbors ask me one question over and over: "What beauty boxes really are the best?" Simple- GlossyBox!
While there are so many boxes that I adore, GlossyBox is one that I seem to recommend the most. From the beautifully giftable box to the quality of the products, the limited edition offers, and so much more - this really is my go-to beauty box. Let's dig into this box a bit more!

Why I Love GlossyBox
Quality
I have reviewed so many beauty boxes over the years, but GlossyBox is one that I can always trust to arrive on time without any issues, expertly curated with quality products. As a subscriber, you will receive a mix of deluxe mini or full-size products from brands that might be well-known to you or that you have always wanted to try but just haven't had the budget for. Since the products are always high quality, I find myself excited to gift any products that I am not in love with to family or friends. My experience from beginning to end with this box always feels so special, and it's probably why so many people have remained loyal to GlossyBox for so many years.
Expertly Curated Products
Some of my tried and true products that have made their way into my everyday routine have come from GlossyBox. From brands like Elemis, that I knew but never had an opportunity to try, all the way to unique brands like Earth Harbor, that were totally new for me, I can always expect to learn and discover so much each month. Rarely do I have a month where I don't love at least one item, and the others are always great to pass along to friends. I genuinely appreciate the mix of full-size and deluxe mini products because the minis allow me to test a product without feeling like I have to fully commit to it. Beauty is all about discovery, and that is exactly what this box brings month after month.
Limited Edition Boxes
GlossyBox also features Limited Edition boxes throughout the year. They typically have a Summer box, Mother's Day, Easter, and more. The boxes are so always so unique and beautiful, filled with items in partnership with some of the most prestigious beauty brands. I have received some of my favorite boxes and products from these lovely limited edition sets! You can sign up here to be notified when these boxes are set to be released to order.
Giftable Boxes
GlossyBox is known for its signature pink boxes, but did you know that there are themed boxes as well? There will be different designs for a new season, or something fun like a mixtape. The products themselves are a treat, but the boxes are the first piece that you see, and they never disappoint. The boxes can be used well after you are done testing the products inside. Many of mine are being used to hold papers, pencils, makeup brushes, and are even often used in my kid's playroom to fill with treasures. If you are gifting this box, the recipient will feel like it is their special day every time they receive these beautiful boxes.
