How to get high end premium beauty essentials without the high end price? GlossyBOX delivers a beautiful box with full and travel size beauty products that retail for much more than what the monthly box costs. No subscription required.
What is Glossybox
Glossybox is a UK beauty box curator making headway in the US market. With free shipping for all, it delivers premium full and travel size beauty products directly at your door.
Glossybox sells monthly beauty boxes, Limited Edition boxes and Glossybox skincare line.
The monthly Glossybox focuses on a beauty theme centered around a personal pampering spa experience to do in the comfort of your home. Theme box designs often relate to holiday celebrations or events happening in the corresponding month.
Current Glossybox boxes
In November for example, Glossybox theme focused on Halloween with 7 beauty products. The box design was a surprise that came in either red or black, with a pretty gala mask that followed the “Masquerade Theme”.
Glossybox monthly boxes are often unique chic, collectible boxes that double as keepsake boxes, storage or use in DIY projects.
Glossybox US and Glossybox UK boxes do not always have the same products or follow the same theme. Which Glossybox will you get? Depends on which Continent you’re in. If you’re in the Americas, you’ll get the US Glossybox. If the UK is closer to you, check out the UK Glossybox resource page.

Glossybox contents typically include products with a value of at least $70. Generally the box total value is higher however, which makes Glossybox subscription a great way to get affordable beauty products because depending on whether you use a coupon code or not, you still pay way less than when buying each product separately.
Personally, besides getting affordable beauty products, Glossybox often has products I normally wouldn’t buy. Glossybox is a way to discover and try new beauty products. From premium high end brands to up and coming name brands or niche type brands, the box comes with a variety of products that are different every month.
Limited Edition Glossybox
Typically these are unique design and contents worthy of collecting. Limited edition Glossybox sell like until they’re out of stock. Generally they sell like hotcakes. The Easter Limited Edition Box shown below sold in 3 days!

Beauty product stock up
A good way to stock up on essential beauty product is the 12 month subscription. Over the span of 12 months you’ll have a steady supply of hair, skin care, makeup and other beauty treats
The best price and most bang for subscription boxes is typically the 1 year subscription. Glossybox has a deal where you pay $1 for the first box when subscribing for a 12 month subscription.
However, if a commitment of 12 months is not something you’re ready for, other Glossybox monthly discounts and coupons for 3 and 6 months subscriptions are available.
Glossybox sampler
Over the 3 month span I was able to sample several brands and had a good choice of beauty essentials and must-haves for my daily beauty routine, yet it wasn’t overwhelming. I recommend getting a 3 month subscription. I call it a GlossyBox sampler because you get a variety of products to help you figure out if Glossybox is worth it for you while still saving money.
