With the news today that Birchbox is changing their point system, I am sure that there will be a lot of people looking for alternatives. Here are some options:

~Allure Beauty Box: $15/month. The Allure Beauty Box includes five or more deluxe sized beauty products every month. Boxes are curated by the editors of Allure magazine and also include a special-edition “mini magazine” chock full of the most trusted product reviews you’ve come to expect from Allure.  **Check out my Allure Beauty Box Reviews**

~ESSENCE BeautyBox: $15/month. The ESSENCE® BeautyBox is a service to help women of color discover beauty products. Boxes will include sample or trial sizes of five hair and beauty products curated by the trusted beauty experts at ESSENCE Magazine.

~ipsy: $10/month. Each month, subscribers will receive a beautiful Glam Bag with deluxe samples and full-sized beauty products. Members can watch and play along with the stylists with the same products that they are using.  **Check out my ipsy Reviews**

~Lip Monthly: $12.95/month. Lip Monthly sends you a curated box of lip gloss, lipstick, lip balm and / or lip stain (plus other non-lip goodies) and aims to help you discover all the best products on the market. **Check out my Lip Monthly Reviews**

~Play! by Sephora: $10/month. PLAY! by SEPHORA is a monthly subscription box program. Each month subscribers will receive a box of deluxe samples, along with an exclusive PLAY! BOOK — packed with helpful advice — and a PLAY! PASS to redeem in store for a free one-on-one learning session with a beauty expert. The six product samples in your PLAY! by SEPHORA box are from the same prestige brands Sephora carries in store and online, and they are sized to use multiple times.  **Check out my Play! by Sephora Reviews**

Also available are Target Beauty Box boxes (NOT a subscription – you must purchase monthly) and the quarterly Walmart Beauty Box.  I only included boxes $15 or under and other in my list, but if you are looking to spend a tad more, GLOSSYBOX and BOXYCHARM are amazing boxes for the price!

Are you planning to stick with Birchbox or are you making a change?  If you are canceling, what box are you switching to?
