When I think of a “beauty subscription box” Scent Bird and Fab Fit Fun don’t particularly come to my mind. The first one is a perfume subscription and the latter one is a lifestyle one. I agree with you concerning Chic Beauty Box but I like Eye Scream much better than Chic. I dropped it but added the Eye Scream bag. Oh, like you, I also don’t get to customize my Ipsy choices. It isn’t because I get it in PR but because I’m too broke to pay for it on time! 🤣 Oh, FFF is only $70 (or whatever it costs) QUARTERLY, not monthly. (Can you imagine it being $1,000+/year??) Now that you know that, maybe you can subscribe to it. Oh, you should consider Lurella. They’re pretty good.
@@Traci_Menge true I know what you mean and I still wanted to include those two because of my experience or research with them but wasn’t sure what else to label the whole category other than “beauty” in general (since I’m not covering ALL subscription boxes lol) since FFF has some beauty in it and fragrance is still in a beauty category, I felt close enough, lol. But oh yes I noticed I goofed and said $70-80 per month and I meant per quarter. Wow that would cost an arm and a leg! 😂 if I don’t get approved in PR soon, I’ll probably jump on board. I am so interested! 👏 I do hear the Eyescream box lovers! I think the reason I ranked chic higher is just because I’ve gotten more items I’m personally interested in that are very “every day wearable” for me or that I can recommend people at Sephora etc. but I think it’s an amazing box and I’ve heard no negative reviews on it, which is not the case on any other of the boxes I’ve covered!
Wow , this was a great helpful video on beauty boxes ! You are definitely on my page ! I never tried any beauty box subscriptions and always wanted to try one so this was sooooo helpful to me . Sounds to me that your rankings were spot on btw. Since I am really interested in trying new designer makeups and perfumes ( being that I only prefer designer brands , like ST YVES LAURENT makeup and french perfumes , ect, ect..) so I am going to try the monthly Macy beauty box ! If it weren’t for you I probably would have got the Ipsy one since it’s the only one I even knew of . 🤗.. looking forward to seeing more of your videos .. thx again 👍
@@reneerussell8894 yay, so glad it was helpful. Yes I think you’ll like Macy’s if you’re into high end and especially if you like perfumes, etc. Now sometimes you’ll get those products in the Ipsy icon box but not typically as much in the regular BoxyCharm or glam bag versions. The only downside is the Macy’s is small sample sizes. But it gives you the chance to try things. Good timing because I have my October unboxing up today and then I’ll have the November spoilers up tomorrow if you want to check them up. A heads up it’ll be all skincare in the box for November.
Yes it all depends on personal preference i got the allure box for the Charlotte tillbury bronzer , but i love makeup so i get eyescream beauty box , boxycharm went down since ipsy took over i cancelled
Yes the allure is not as great for the makeup lovers. I never hear anything negative about eyescream. Customers are usually so happy with them, so I know it’s crazy I ranked them where I did. That was purely just because of the type and niche of makeup I’m into. But I think it’s such a good box and they do a wonderful job! Agree on BoxyCharm lol
@@DanielleTurner-ft7vk hmmm that’s a tough one because they don’t have a specific box for sensitive skin. However, the vegan cuts could be better because vegan skincare tends to be more clean without the toxins that upset a lot of people’s skin. Allure, BeautyFix and Test Tube (New Beauty) are all ones that focus on quality skincare. But you are still going to get ones in there that are triggering. Best bet is one of those boxes, but try to avoid specifically the retinols/als and physical exfoliants etc that come in them.
I feel like you read my beauty mind. I love and hate my ipsy. I think i just need a break from getting so much of the same. Nothing exciting lately. Used to love the icon box and saw what was available last month and even skipped that. My chef's kiss is allure and my second favorite is Macy's too. So i think i need to check out your makeup box rec!
This is nice yo know. Im older and am happy with one eye shadow per year, but love skincare. I wish it only had skincare. I can always pass makeup to my daughter. Very helpful video.
I had to cancel fff because i couldn’t control myself with the addons & it ended up costing me a lot of money. I stick with Ipsy because choice day feels like Christmas morning I love to choose things
I do LOVE my Allure box along with the Eyescream Beauty box. I would rank the Ipsy box lower because they keep sending me dupes and not charging or sending my boost items. Their customer service is Atrocious! I no longer get the FFF. I can’t justify that cost when I have more important ways to spend my money.
Oh geez that’s awful. I’m sorry about Ipsy. I do hear all the customer service issues:( y’all are all making me want to go back to my eyescream orders. I will say I’ve never ever heard an eyescream negative review!
I just canceled my FFF subscription Ipsy is just a good starter to try some new brands but will cancel soon too. I decided to keep allure because it has the best value.
Allure has been my favorite for a while now. I did love slay glam bag for about a year but I've decided to go with Allure for now and I have been happy with every box so far. So happy actually i was even thinking about getting a 2nd box at least this month because i love that Elemis eye cream and that alone cost so much more than the box. But I'm loving the other products too. That being said I have gotten eyescream off and on and decided to get it last month for the Ofra palette. I forgot to cancel it this month and I'm so glad I forgot. There was 2 Gerard cosmetic products this month. I'm always happy to try new products from that brand. So that alone paid for that box. But i will probably cancel before next month. I love beauty boxes so much but since my husband got very sick and passed away and I'm a single mom now i just can't afford more than 1 or 2 at the most. Oh my favorite of all time was Boxycharm. I'm still sad about that. I don't see Ipsy ever being as good as Boxycharm was.
Yea BoxyCharm was much better back in the day, I agree:( you guys are making me want to stop skipping my eyescream box. 😂 I’ve never heard one single negative review on it. But I know what you mean on the costs. You can do like me and pick your favorite of the month but then skip the others. (Except FFF or macys. They don’t let you skip). But then it’s always sooo hard to decide between them. 😂
Yep you sure can! There’s a cut off date each month and I can’t remember what that is but you can skip any month you want. I think it’s under manage subscription:)
I completely agree with you about Ipsy. I'm exhausted with all the warm to e palletes then the month 5/2024 that had a pallette with some cool toned purples, they don't offer it to me. But I have the "privilege" to purchase it in the add ons. IDK, Macy's had a beauty box. Good to know. Thank you for your honesty.
Yea they really don’t do cool toned often. I feel like they should have two options in eyeshadow palettes as part of customization, you know? But yes, Macy’s is fantastic! I just wish it was bigger items in it.
Do you even know about the Dermstore? Because that is like hands-down, the best box ever and for the price and the discount and coupon that you can stack to make free shipping.
Yes I know about BeautyFix:) I’ve had my eye on it too! I haven’t tried it yet so I didn’t include in this video. But I’m planning a part 2 now that I’ve done a few other boxes and may do the Dermstore/BeautyFix as well.
Love the ranking! I pay for Ipsy subscription and I do not receive filler in my box because of my profile! I add on a lot of products. I get boost and Icon box and just love it! The add on choices are great! Just got the Fenty highlighter go 20 dollars!😅 The other boxes I have watched the reveals and seen everyone getting the same thing. My combo oily skin will not match most of these boxes! Luv you Sher!💜🖒
Yea a lot of the boxes aren’t customized like Ipsy. But I’m so glad to hear the choices have been working for you. I definitely do think being able to do the add ons and boost would make a big difference! :)
Wow we agree on Allure too, darling! U sure ur not my long lost sister? Lol the latest point to ur spiel is that Color Wow hair mask. All the pics showed a bigger container. But the other products especially the perfume was awesome! Tyfs honey lol
I used to get fab fit fun for when it first came out and do videos on it. It’s pretty good. But now it’s not good anymore. The last box I think I got was the Rebecca Minkoff bag that was black with the little black stuff with the little silver studs. That was a pretty good box but since then it’s going downhill . Beauty fix. By the Dermstore is the best box for the money hands down for skin care . Boxy charm is going to be 34 plus now and not worth it anymore. I would say, Dermstore is number one and the price point is $20 if you use a coupon code and buy three boxes at a time when you sign up because then it’s free shipping. Allure box is number two at 25 plus tax. The Macy’s box is number three because of the namebrand and the products and the price. Well that’s just my top three
That’s awesome! Where do I find a coupon code for it? Any ideas where to grab? And I now do FFF in PR. I have loved it myself but I hear from others that all the good picks sell out fast:(
Yes I’ve followed Test Tube a little before, but I’ve never done the subscription before myself, so I didn’t include it since I couldn’t speak from personal experience on it.
My favorite non makeup box is Margot Elena. It always has a full size bottle of perfume and lotions and potions. Macy's is a favorite to try new things. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
Hi Sher. I enjoyed your video, rankings and reasons why. I am cancelling my FFF annual subscription after this summer box. Items are way over valued and at my age, I don't need any more "stuff". I cancelled my Macy's subscription because I'd rather use that money to buy "add ons" from Ipsy such as the Elemis face cream I mentioned the other day. I enjoy Allure for the same reasons you mentioned but can sometimes buy the items cheaper through Ipsy. The add ons and drop shop through Ipsy just can't be beat in my opinion. I also cancelled my Walmart box. Just no thrill and I don't really like the items. Thanks again for your rankings. I thoroughly enjoyed!
Oh that’s interesting. I do hear how the add ons are where it’s at! Can you skip the box and still do add ons or drop shop or do you have to do them with the box that month?
Im dumbfounded you haven't gotten FFF. Its one of my top boxes. If not the top. You would love it. It gives you great gifts for people. Its one of the best value. So much good home stuff too. I wasn't interested in it at first but its quality stuff. I do lots of shopping too.
This video is older. I actually do get FFF now in PR. I am planning to bring a part 2 updated version of this video at some point now that I’ve done a few more boxes:)
I will be honest. The only reason I get IPSY is for the choices and add-ons and Drop Shop items. They are cheaper than anywhere else I have found and so good. If it were just for the stuff in the box I don’t think I would do it especially because with PR you don’t get to even tell them your skin type or skin tone. With paid box I can do that. Allure is also great but when the member store has the same items IPSY sells for quite a bit less. Because I am not a rich woman and still looking for my sugar daddy (just kidding honey 😂) I have to be patient and wait for IPSY to get it. I do get Allure and the box itself is my #1 as well. Just have to be careful with my budget in the store ❤ I like Macys as well. No one is coming for you Sher ❤ Love to hear your opinion as always
Ha ha no shame in looking for a sugar daddy! 😝😂 but yes I really do think if I was able to explore the add ons and choices, etc., I’d feel a little different. I do hear those are the true perks. :)
I used to have all the boxes almost all big names but because of prices I’m limited so now I have one which is one and its ALLURE thanks looking forward to junes spoilers
Sher, Your beauty-related content is just wonderful. Thanks for providing such beautiful content. But, I saw that the engagement on your channel is very low. Also, I found a variety of issues with your channel! Do you know where the main problem is? If you want, I can also share with you why your channel is not growing!
I really love the Allure box and Macy's is pretty good. I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE Boxycharm but since Ipsy bought them out, it sucks!
Yes I would concur that BoxyCharm used to be better.. 😅

Holy Moly Sher!!! I guessed it again!😍😍😍 Great video! And you look awesome!
Ha ha, you are my telepathic twin! 🥰
I might switch over to Allure. It looks like the best box. Thanks so much for sharing!😊
Yes it’s a great one! No box is perfect and it is skincare heavy. But as long as you know that, I do truly recommend! :)
Yes it all depends on personal preference i got the allure box for the Charlotte tillbury bronzer , but i love makeup so i get eyescream beauty box , boxycharm went down since ipsy took over i cancelled

Thanks, glad to hear! 🤗 Yes even though I love makeup, the skincare is more of a “need” so that’s a great point!
These subscriptions sound good I wanna try boxy charm and Ipsy one day
I had to cancel fff because i couldn’t control myself with the addons & it ended up costing me a lot of money. I stick with Ipsy because choice day feels like Christmas morning I love to choose things

Allure is the only one I have. But I may be open to one more. Let's see what ya got for me! ❤
Ha ha well you already have my number one! 😉
Birchbox is back so you could try that one too lol
Oh thank you! I did hear that and have been meaning to look into it. I heard negative reviews on it before but I’m wondering if it’s improved now?

What about Test Tube?
Yes I’ve followed Test Tube a little before, but I’ve never done the subscription before myself, so I didn’t include it since I couldn’t speak from personal experience on it.
I love Allure as well...altho wasnt happy with May box...i thought it would be ALOT better since this is mothers day month..
Yea like I said there’s some months better than others but overall I still think it’s the best! 😊
this is great info! and low cost doesnt always mean high quality... in fact it rarely does haha

Please oh please, make your comments more succinct!
This was simply too much pauses and uneasy comments.
I like cruelty free of course but I believe in science over vegan, all natural stuff.
You're making me want to renew my subscription.......
