We have our moments and then there's Jesus. Four girls who are all recent grads of esteemed universities are tossed into the real world and face the trials, tribulations, and hilarity of trying real life. We face all battles with a smile, but even we have to admit we don't know shit.

Right At Your Doorstep.

So I've discussed how you can get a runway look for less, now I want to give you some ideas on how to get beauty products for less. From hair to makeup to polish, here are some companies that send you your favorite and soon-to-be favorite products.


CurlBox.

Curly headed girls, this is for you. CurlBox helps you explore curly hair products. If you're like me, you are always buying new hair care products trying to find the best ones for your hair. I have way too many products just sitting in my bathroom because they did nothing for my hair. You don't want to get rid of them because they were way too expensive to just toss because they couldn't get rid of the frizz or made your hair too heavy. CurlBox will send you a box of hair care samples every month. It's $20 a month and you can cancel at anytime. The downside is that the company is so popular there's a waiting list to join. So if you're a curly headed girl looking for better products I suggest to hop on the waiting list soon. It doesn't hurt to try this at least once.

Fellas, there's a curlbox for men coming soon. Hop on the mailing list to receive more information. You need to keep your curls in order as well. You're welcome in advance.


Beauty Box 5.
If you love buying beauty products just to try something new the Beauty Box 5 is the company for you.  For $12 a month you can receive 4-5 beauty product samples like makeup, lotions, perfume, etc. Once again you can cancel at anytime so there is no commitment. 

Julep.
Can't keep your nails the same color for longer than a week? Become a Julep Maven. For $20 a month you will receive a box with a few polishes plus an additional beauty product like mascara. You take a quick style quiz so they can get an idea of what you might like, then they place you in one of the four groups pictured above. I was placed in the bombshell group so that would be an example of what I would receive. 

Ipsy.
Makeup lovers! Become and ipster. You can receive a makeup bag monthly for just $10. Ipsy will send you a makeup bag monthly and also email you videos from some of your favorite YouTube makeup artists that will help you create looks using the products in your bag. This is meant for makeup lovers of all levels. No clue what to use for what, the videos will help you out. Just want new ideas to recreate, you can do that too. The products are all popular brands like Kiehl's, Urban Decay, MAC, and many more. 

Here are a few more companies offering similar subscriptions...

Glossy Box: $21 a month. Box filled with a range of beauty samples. 
Birch Box: $10 a month. Beauty and lifestyle products fill the sample boxes.
Beauty Fix: $49.99 per box. Unlike the other companies Beauty Fix gives you regular size products.


The summer is a great time to have some fume with you beauty regime. Try one of these out and let PGSD know how it went. I'm sure other readers are curious about your experiences.
