I have a subscription addiction and here are my summaries based on my opinions [obviously ;)
Birchbox has some neat things that you will enjoy but chances are wont ever be impressed enough to purchase
IPSY-is great, i love the fact that you also get a makeup bag every month more everyday items in this sub.
Cravebox-I enjoy and find things that I would purchase in almost every box
Julep-if you love doing your nails, thats the box for you!
I also know of many other boxes for many other specialties if you are looking for a particular type of box let me know @ Cestbeaucreations@gmail.com! :D
Beauty boxes are subscriptions like magazines in a way, some are monthly and other are not. They allow you to try new products based on certain questions asked at sign up to get to know your concerns/skin type etc. and cost a monthly fee of usually $10 and up. They are fun and broaden your horizons of products you may not normally purchase but get to try trial [and sometimes even deluxe] samples of in beauty boxes. I find the surprise factor of each box the most fun part because with many you never know what you will get unless you pick a subscription beauty box where you pick your own samples!

I just started birchbox and like it so far. I'll probably try ipsy also. They're each $10/month including shopping.
