BEAUTY BOXES<br />

By Nova Kaplan @novakaplan<br />

We all know about Ipsy, Glossybox, and Birchbox, but little did you know there are tons of epic glam boxes<br />

right under our noses! Subscription glam is great for keeping up with the latest beauty trends if you<br />

don’t have the time for all the research and aisle perusing necessary to keep up with the must-haves in<br />

this fast-paced market! With the holidays right around the corner, a beauty subscription is perfect for<br />

someone you want to spoil all year long (even if that someone is you)! I whittled it down to six boxes that<br />

I’m excited to share with you!<br />

1<br />

DECK OF SCARLET ($29.95/mo)<br />

Why I love it? If you already have the perfect foundation and skincare<br />

routine, this box gives you seasonal trend inspired color to take it up a<br />

notch. This palette subscription gives you everything you need to create<br />

looks for any occasion. The bi-monthly sub sends a lip, cheek, and eye<br />

palette all in one beautifully illustrated compact. Bonus: They even replenish<br />

that one item that always seems to run out or disappear: liquid<br />

liner! I received the October/ November deck, and it is right up my alley<br />

JOAH BOX ($33/mo)<br />

K-Beauty’s recent rise is no surprise. Korean women begin taking care of their<br />

skin at a very young age, and more importance is placed on skin quality than on<br />

how to cover it up. Korean beauty pours more resources into research and development<br />

than in the US, utilizing many ingredients not typically found in products<br />

here. JOAH BOX sent me 3 different boxes so I could see the range of goodies they<br />

include, and I was not disappointed. Each box is heavy in skincare with the latest<br />

technology but includes a subtle pop like a pair of lashes or a cute lip. I’m a sucker<br />

for a sheet mask and every single box had at least one! This is definitely a subscription<br />

I’ll keep, as navigating international beauty is best left to the regional<br />

experts.<br />

THE DETOX MARKET ($49.95/mo)<br />

This beauty box ranges from, hair to makeup to skincare. They mix<br />

up the monthly curation based not on the specific products, but<br />

on the ingredients. They only ship beauty with green ingredients.<br />

As the green beauty experts, they deliver pure products without<br />

toxins. The box I reviewed was hair centric featuring a collaboration<br />

with the brand Innersense. I received 5 FULL-SIZE hair care<br />

products that nourished and cleansed leaving my damaged hair<br />

softer than ever!<br />
