Essence Beauty Box:
**AS OF 9/2/2015 NO WAITING LIST. **
Essence Beauty Box was my next pick I have been seeing so many promotions for their launch in October, so I was super excited about this one. I went on to www.essencebeautybox.comand there layout is very clean, inviting, and exciting they explain about the box, why you need the box, along with how easy it is to sign up for it. They will send about 5 samples to trial size beauty and hair products that will vary month to month.
Essence’s big thing that I love is that it is curated to finding a assortment of products for our shades and skintones and recognize the products that work best for us. With that you can't beat that this beauty box is Curated by Essence trusted Beauty expert! Essence is also honoring and supporting beauty entrepreneurship in the African American community, their focus is to feature a product from a Black-owned business in each box! This is Amazing!!
Each box will cost $15 per box for the monthly plan and then it breaks down to 6 & 12 months subscriptions. I believe its free shipping as well but I will double check!
Ipsy Glam Bag:
**FYI WAITING LIST (but there are ways to get around this)**
So after reading Instyle Magazine along with being obsessed with and YouTube star Michelle Phan I realized that I have defiantly been sleeping on this amazing product. I am defiantly advocate for YouTube because it takes dreamers and put them in the forefront if they ready for it. That’s exactly what Michelle Phan has done. Starting on YouTube with makeup tutorials to amazing videos of transformation, the Millennial Entrepreneur has launched so much that it’s hard to keep up.
But the most important is Ipsy, offers their customers detailed instructional videos (accessed online), as well as a service called Glam Bag, which sends subscribers a cute tote containing products picked out by the site's "stylists" (YouTube beauty pros). From what I have read you get about four or five deluxe samples or full-size products from brands like Benefit, Josie Maran, and Urban Decay, with each bag selected at least in part according to your fave brands and the style profile you choose.
Becoming a member is free and lets you scope out things like makeup tutorials and product picks. Subscribe to receive a Glam Bag once a month for $10, or 12 times a year for $110, with free U.S. shipping. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically but can be canceled on the Web site.
GLOSSYBOX:
**NO WAITING LISTJ**
Living in the lap of luxury or at least getting it sent to your door step with GLOSSYBOX. If it's big in Europe or something fresh from Asia, it’s in this site's monthly lineup of luxe products. A blend of makeup, hair, or skin-care finds from major brands, in travel, deluxe, and full sizes. According to Instyle magazine, past boxes have included tubes of Missha BB cream (popular in Korea).
You get only the top products form hair, skincare, and makeup from well known luxury brands and upcoming business. GLOSSYBOX arrives each month with expert beauty tips on the samples you receive! Boxes are personalized according to information you supply on your age, skin, and hair type, plus overall style (chic, sporty, etc.). They had a very great questionnaire or form that was very detailed I feel than the other sites in regards to who you are as an individual.

PLAY by: Sephora
**FYI WAITING LIST FOR TEST MARKETS (AVAALIBLE NEXT YEAR)**
Social media and the press went crazy when PLAY by Sephora was announced to the beauty world. Rumor mills went wild until it was officially confirmed that PLAY would be introduce to a small market before it went out completely next year. So if you live in Boston, Columbus, and Cincinnati this September is the month for you to sign up. “Since I live in cincy I was like why not so I signed up and was on the list to be told when the list open but for whatever reason I never got a email about the list opening!!” Which is really frustrating so I decide to join the waiting list (SMH)?
According to Haper Bazzar Magazine each box will cost $10 a month and feature a collection of products, plus a few bonuses like Spotify playlists. Spoiler alert the first box contains products from Marc Jacobs, Ole Henriksen, Bumble and bumble, Glamglow and Sephora's in-house brand. Apparently each month will have a theme, like skincare or cosmetics, and each box will have a few bonus samples thrown in as well. Subscribers can also show up at any Sephora store to learn how to use the samples and will get access to exclusive events.
