GLOSSYBOX review

GLOSSYBOX is a UK beauty subscription that sends 5 beauty products to try each month, with free delivery on all subscriptions. Its plan page offers a flexible monthly plan and prepaid bundles of 3, 6 and 12 boxes, and the price per box falls as the prepaid term gets longer. Subscribers earn Glossy Credit to spend on the site and get discounts on limited edition boxes such as themed edits and an advent calendar. From our location the site showed prices only in pounds sterling, so we could not verify a USD price, and the pages we checked did not confirm delivery to the US. That is why it sits below the US boxes on this list despite a low price per box. It suits UK readers comparing it with IPSY and Allure, but US shoppers should check delivery before signing up.
