I looove online shopping. I mean who doesn't right? It's hassle free and very convenient, just add to cart, pay and booom! Your items are on its way. And when they arrive, it is always exciting. It feels like a present -  to you from you.

Just last month I discovered these beauty boxes and decided to give it a try. Whether you are beauty obsessed or just curious about the newest makeup or skin care products on the market, there’s a hell of a lot of value in signing up.

These little packages of joy full of sample size (and full-size, if you’re lucky) cosmetics can be the difference between umm-ing and ahh-ing for an hour at the beauty aisle, not knowing which products are actually worth investing in, and being able to strut straight over to a shelf and smugly announcing to the beauty assistant that ‘yes, I do know what I’m looking for thanks’.

And besides all of the beauty benefits, let’s admit that receiving something in the post is really exciting. Receiving something full of the makeup treats and skin care products you didn’t even know you wanted is even better.

Here are the first 2 beauty boxes i tried for their July Edition.

Birchbox - Born Unicorn

You've probably already come across Birchbox but if you're not already familiar, it was the first ever beauty subscription box on the market and does everything you'd expect it too with the added benefit of being able to personalise it to suit your specific hair, skin and beauty needs. Birchbox, from £10 per month.
And plus the boxes are so beautiful designed and themed every month. I got the Born Unicorn, July Edition.
Floss Beauty // My Everyday Eyeshadow in Maui
Full Size - RRP £12.50

Marcelle // Xtension Plus Curl Mascara
4.5ml Sample Size - RRP £7.67 (based on £14.50 for 8.5ml)
