Top 5 Subscription Boxes- February

I get a bunch of subscription box services and as I've said recently I am going to keep the ones I love, ditch the ones I feel "meh" about and try new ones constantly. So, what is a great way to find my true subscription box loves? A top 5 list!

What did I even get this month?

Loot Crate
Graze (Box 1, Box 2, Box 3, Box 4, Box 5)
Love With Food
Juniper
My Cotton Bunny
28Day Hug
Le Parcel
TheFancy
PopSugar Must Have
Julep
Lullubee
Wantable.co
Birchbox
Ipsy
Barkbox
Twistband
YokoTea

That's 20 boxes total (Box 1 of Graze was in Jan)! And I am not including my first Nature Box that I received yesterday-it'll be a part of March.

A rule and disclaimer about my "Top 5," a box cannot be included if I have only tried it once (sorry but some boxes are hit-and-miss and one month can't be enough to judge. Also, just because you didn't make it on the list doesn't mean I don't love you (yes, I'm talking to the boxes as if they were people.)

Since this is my first top 5 box list to get you all caught up this would have been my Jan list:

1. Julep
2. Barkbox
3. TheFancy
4. Ipsy
5. Birchbox

Obviously, this is from before I ordered mega amounts of boxes and made my list "rules."
Enough chatter- let's see the rankings!

#5: Juniper



This was a tough one! I originally picked Ipsy as my #5 but I got my Juniper Feb box just in time to join the contenders (aka a second box of this sub). I just was so awed by how happy I felt with getting my treats and sweets and I LOVE the company itself.

Try it yourself:
Type: T.O.M. Box
Cost: $28/month
What is it?: This company which started up in 2013 delivers a deluxe box complete with your choice of tampons (20+), pads, pantyliners plus treats! Juniper begins each subscription registration by choosing from the 6 brands of tampons they offer (which you get a variety of absorbency), then you choose whether you would like backup protection (pads/pantyliners), and if you would like some Midol thrown in! You choose the date you would like to receive the box and then the tampons box has a phonenumber on it to text so they can track your monthly guest so your box will always be on time and continue customizing your box. Each box comes with a bevy of treats including honey sticks, chocolate, tea, snacks, etc! You get a starter box to begin and after that you work with Juniper to customize based on your needs. GET A FREE BOX: When registering, write in my blog: Broke Beauty Blogger: is how you heard of Juniper and you will receive a FREE box!

#4: Graze



Maybe it's because I get this once a week but I love these snacks! I know they have had problems with overloading- they became popular super quick- and some of my shipping has been delayed but the yummy snacks make up for it! Some of my favs include: Hot Cross Yum, Toffee Apple, Apple Cosmos, and Summer Berry Compote.

Try it yourself:
Graze:
Type: Food Box
Cost: $5/week includes shipping
What is it?: This brand-new subscription service sends out a box every week full of snack full of healthy benefits that look super tasty! Their motto is graze: nature delivered- delicious, healthy snacks by mail. Their website is amazing and lets you check out every single snack. They also offer two options- the nibble box (over 100 products) AND the light option (each snack between 50-150 calories). I ordered the light and am excited to try it. Right now this is invite only and my invite code is LHN51DX: use this to get your first box free. If my code doesn't work for you email me at brokebeautyblogger@yahoo.com and I will set you up with someone for an invite code!

#3: Loot Crate




After a second month of this box- this subscription box has skyrocketed on to the list. And yes, TheFancy, Ipsy, and Birchbox were all knocked off by my new boxes! Loot Crate makes my bf super happy which makes me happy and I think the products are all awesome too!

#2: Julep



I just love this subscription! It's amazing- I have great polishes AND products from this sucker- plus the extra touches and gifts make is extra special! Even when I skip a month I am entranced (and usually buy) their special bags. I super loved the Secret Store this month and don't worry about backsliding a number this month you are still super super loved!

Try is yourself:
Julep:
Type: Nail Box
Cost: $19.99/month includes shipping

To begin, you take a style quiz to determine you Julep Maven Style and your first box will be a welcome box. Each month you are sent the month's theme colors and products in the 4 beauty profiles and have the option to choose your assigned box or any other one available. You also have the option to skip any month- this may be the BEST feature at Julep. Julep also offers add-ons each month for extremely discounted rates as well as random/surprise bags/boxes all the time. Fun fact: Julep's full collection was one of Oprah's favorite things this past year. Use my referral link when you sign up and try your first month for free (plus shipping) using the code FREEBOX.

Honorable mentions: My Cotton Bunny, Ipsy, and Wantable.co!
MCB & Wantable.co don't make it past my 1 box only rule and Ipsy barely got knocked off the list!

So that's all folks- New Top 5 next month!
