When you sign up for a subscription, you'll start by taking Ipsy's Beauty Quiz. This way, they can get an idea of your skin tone, eye color, hair color, and how often you typically use certain products. If you neverrrrrrr wear eyeliner, for example, you can mark that so you don't get sent a bunch of products you'll never touch!
Promising review: “Growing up, I didn’t have a big sister or makeup-forward mom to teach me about makeup or skincare. I never learned how to wear makeup until my twenties when I started receiving IPSY packages. IPSY is like having a whole girl tribe there with you who encourage you to try new things and point you in the right direction for makeup tips. Thank you for allowing me to find a passion I was scared to dive into and thank you for giving me a great way to connect to my preteen nieces.” — Court

Promising review: "I'm a beauty product lover and always trying new products. I am very happy with the box. I subscribe to a few monthly beauty product boxes. I love that I am introduced to brands that I haven't heard of as well as one's I have. The surprise factor is what drives me to purchase." —marla depaula

H2BAR is a small biz from sisters Adrienne and Stephanie Vendetti. Every box features completely different products, so you won't get stuck with repeats.
Promising review: "I have been a subscriber since March 2020 and I have gotten three H2BAR boxes since — I think the June box is my fave so far! I’ve really been enjoying the diversity of the products I’ve been receiving so far and it’s been so fun to try the various items that I might not ordinarily try if I had to buy it from the store. Skincare and skin protection are so important for us redheads, so I appreciate the sunscreen and moisturizers they include in the boxes. I personally struggle with finding lip products I like, and that look good with my red hair that don’t make my teeth look yellow, so I’m hoping to see more of that in future boxes too." —Maribug971
Get it from Amazon for $68 (boxes are delivered quarterly and you can cancel at any time).
The other great thing about FabFitFun is that they don't just have beauty items. You can also pick from fitness, wellness, and home products!

PS: Birchbox intentionally partners with BIPOC-founded, -owned, and -run beauty brands so everyone can find options that fit their needs.

This subscription works a little differently than others! Rather than monthly or quarterly boxes, you set when your subscription is delivered and it can be adjusted/canceled at any time. Similarly, since all products are custom and made to order, there's no set subscription cost. You simply set up which products you'd like to subscribe to and then you get 15% off of the regular price (or 20% if you also subscribe to skincare!)
