Ipsy Glam Bag ($10)
Personalized makeup and skincare items in a neat makeup bag each month. Why it’s my fave: Our writer, Christina subscribes to this and said,

"“I’ve had the ipsy Glam Bag subscription for about a year and a half and it’s one of the most fun things I’ve ever joined, mostly because I get a fun present for myself every month. For $10, you get four or five different kinds of makeup in an adorable bag that’s different every month. You can customize on their site the type of makeup you’re interested in (i.e. more foundations, less eyeshadows, more eyeliner, more facial care) and they’re pretty good at sending you what you’re interested in. I’ve only had maybe two or three months where I haven’t used most of what they’ve sent.”"

Yuzen ($33)
The Yuzen subscription box is a wonderful gift, but they also offer a single purchase Yuzen gift box is specialty packaging (that’s gorgeous!). The box includes samples and full-sized products from boutique and high-end spa and skincare companies. Why it’s my fave: This offers a great selection of products and promotes relaxation and self-care.
