I'm in the UK and looking at Beauty Boxes. I'm currently leaning more towards GLOSSYBOX than Birchbox, but what do you suggest?

I'd try something I wouldn't often be able to have easy access to, like an Asian Beauty Box. Mishibox is one of the more popular Korean box subscriptions I'm familiar with, but here's a list of other Asian Beauty options.

At the top, there's a menu for even more options, such as Bath and Body boxes, etc.

I've heard good things about glossy box just from watching reviews of their boxes on YouTube and I was going to sign up with them but they don't ship to APO boxes - but I liked how they have full size products in their boxes.

I am subscribed to Birchbox and so far so good, I have 4 boxes so far and I really like what I get. Usually there are high end samples, but I always receive at least one full size product, like a spectrum brush, mode brow tint, tinted lip balm, etc. I choose this box, because I read some reviews about Glossybox that they send drugstore products nowadays. But I think asian beauty boxes are worth a try as well :)

I've had birchbox for 6-7 months. I like it...sometimes. You will get far more skincare, bath and haircare products than cosmetics. I'm thinking of switching to an Asian beauty box as that was my favorite birchbox so far. Sample sizes are ok, some leave more to be desired. I do like you earn points to buy regular products so I feel like I'm getting my money's worth in the end.

I've had birchbox for about 18 months and I love it. I usually receive 1 or 2 makeup items, and some skin care/hair items. I've gotten plenty of amazing new loves in my life because of them! And a big bonus is their point system. For every product in your box you review you get 10 points, every 100 points equals $10 to spend on anything in their shop! Points add up fast, if you do all the reviews you get 50-60 each month. I've currently got $50 worth of points and I think it's a pretty nice reward system. Oh and BTW I have never tried Glossy box so I have no comparison.

Yes, the reward system is pretty damn good, I love it. By the way are any of you girls subscribed to a good asian box? What would you recommend?

I agree with Traci and Ema! I've had Birchbox for a year now! The points system is great and I always love my products!

Hi Freya I am also from the UK my friend has both boxes and loves them. Me and my friend both prefer the glossybox. In our opinion there are better products
