It has been months since I last purchased or featured a beauty subscription box, and that is not by accident, as a matter of fact I'm sure others feel the same way too" You see monthly beauty boxes have long lost their appeal as far as I am concerned (there is of course the odd exception here and there) but on the whole the novelty has passed. I no longer pester my postman for my bold cardboard boxes each month.

A few years ago, I was subscribed to every beauty box going - yes it was expensive but in the long run worth the investment as the products were of a high calibre and more often than not full sized. As a student on a budget, said boxes offered me several blog post options as I could (should I wish to) write about the box and then at a later date review the products individually. There was also the surprise element, something that the growth of social media has somewhat hampered, and the fact that the contents of monthly beauty boxes are no longer a mystery as well all but know what to expect.
With the exception of a few, we essentially can guess what each beauty box drop will contain; mini bath and body products, the odd fragrance sample and if you are lucky the odd make-up addition - which will more often than not be from a obscure brand you'll have no interest in. Full sized, quality, beauty products seem to be a thing of the past as far as the majority of beauty boxes go, and I think this is far more disappointing than repeat products.
