BEAUTY IN A BOX: GLOSSYBOX IS THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE BEAUTY LOVER

Have you heard of the beauty box concept yet? It’s the gift that keeps on giving and for your beauty enthusiast pals, it makes the perfect gift.

Can you imagine getting fabulous, high-quality beauty products delivered to your door on a monthly basis? Sign me up!

New company GlossyBox does just that. It’s a new beauty-in-a-box trend that’s growing in Canada and internationally, that have women subscribing to receive a monthly box filled with travel-size and full-size cosmetic goodies—from moisturizers to cleansers to makeup.

With GlossyBox (introduced to the Canadian market last year), each monthly delivery contains a minimum of five travel-sized products including luxury, drugstore and full size items. Products you’ll find in a GlossyBox might be shampoo, makeup, hair products such as masks, treatments and hairspray, perfume, moisturizers and bath products. GlossyBox also randomly sends out surprise gifts in between boxes including brands such as GlamGlow, Bioré, Curel, Jergens, Elin Bianco, Jouviance, Macadamia Natural Oil, Maskeraide, Marcelle, Annabelle, Skin For Life, Beauty So Clean, Montagne Jeunesse, Nicole by OPI, Marc Anthony, Elizabeth Grant, ModelCo and Vitabath.

Founded in Germany back in 2011, GlossyBox has expanded their operations to 18 countries including Europe, Asia and North America. The subscription rate is  $21 a month in Canada. The value of the products in each random beauty box often exceeds more than $50.

GlossyBox also customizes beauty boxes by inviting members to create an online beauty profile.

While you’re thinking of gifting your bestie with a subscription, go ahead and get one for yourself. There’s nothing more exciting than receiving a surprise package of beauty goods every month!
