With more and more companies joining this beauty box trend, how are you supposed to know which box best fits your personality, style, and beauty needs? We've got you covered with all the details from the top beauty box subscriptions.

Birch Box

This is probably the most popular and well-known beauty box. Once a month you receive a Birch Box with five beauty and lifestyle samples picked based off your personal questionnaire answers. Common brands include Nars, Stila, and Benefit. If you are totally in love with one of the sample products, Birch Box makes it very easy to order a full size, plus you can earn rewards points to use on your next purchase. Oh, and did I mention it’s only $10 a month?

Glossy Box

This beauty box is designed with the high end, luxurious beauty babe in mind. At $21 a month, you receive top quality hair, beauty, and skin care products from brands like Burberry and Nars. The box is personalized based on information you supplied about your age, skin type, hair, and style personality. Glossy Box is huge in Asia and is starting to make big waves in America!

Julep

This box is perfect for nail polish addicts! If you like staying up to date on the latest colors and trends, you will fall in love with this monthly nail beauty box. Julep offers a lot of flexibility in the products you receive, unlike other beauty boxes. You will receive a preview of your box before it is shipped. If you aren’t a fan of the nail and beauty selection you can skip it, choose a different box, or mail it to a friend.

Ipsy

When you subscribe to Ipsy, you not only receive four to five deluxe beauty samples (sometimes full size products), but also a cute makeup bag. Unless you love collecting makeup bags, these make the perfect gifts! At only $10 a month you will receive products from brands like Urban Decay, Keihl’s, and Benefit. Products are usually focused around makeup, hair, and beauty, with a few nail or fragrance products tossed in the mix.

Beauty Army

This is one of the few subscriptions that lets you choose what comes in your box. While it does take some of the surprise and suspense out of the monthly box, you make sure you get exactly what you want. At $12 a month you will receive six samples of your choosing. Sample brands include Bath & Body Works, Macadamia Oil, and Elizabeth Arden.

Beauty Fix

Beauty Fix is the most expensive box subscription, $49, but it definitely offers the most bang for your buck! Instead of a small box each month, you will receive a larger box each season with luxury brands like Chanel, Lancome, and DDF. Beauty Fix is a spin off from Dermstore.com so it is packed with dermatologist approved moisturizers, eye creams, and serums. For days you aren’t obsessed with your complexion, it also includes hair and makeup products. You get to choose 8 deluxe samples or full sized products from a list of 60, and it comes with a cute makeup case to stash all your prized goods.

Beauty Box 5

If you don’t like putting harmful chemicals on your skin and prefer vegan or natural beauty products, Beauty Box 5 will be your BFF. Each month you will receive a box of four to five samples and at least one full sized product! There is a bit of everything in the box, but items tend to be more useful, like sunscreen wipes or makeup brushes, than more trendy.

Goodebox

If you are concerned with using healthy, eco-friendly brands, Goodebox is a good bet for you. At $16 a month you will receive a box with seven beauty and wellness samples from brands that care about the environmental impact they make and try to offer more sustainable products.

Curl Box

Curl Box is the answer to natural hair prayers. If you have given up with chemically straightening and have decided to embrace your natural texture, you need to check out Curl Box. You will receive five to seven deluxe sample and full sized products that help with hair maintenance and styling, plus occasional tools and accessories, like brushes and hair ties. If you fall in love with a product, each box contains coupons to buy the full sized product online so you never have to worry about running out of your miracle hair serum.
