Best for Makeup
Ipsy Glam Bag Membership
Credit: Ipsy
Pros
Detailed quiz
Cute makeup pouches
Cons
Every shipment includes a new beauty bag, which can be wasteful
Ipsy’s mission is all about personalization—and when it comes to make up that’s big. Start by filling out a quiz to narrow down a curated selection of products (not just lipstick and eyeshadow, but there’s also skincare and haircare) that’s right for you, then you’ll have the option to pick five favorites to arrive in an adorable toiletry bag each month, or upgrade to the BoxyCharm plan to get five full-size products. Either way, expect an array of well-respected brands from Fenty, Benefit, Tarte, Murad and Tatcha.
Starting at: $13/month
Best For Perfume
Scentbird Subscription Box
Credit: Scentbird
Pros
Lets you handpick samples
Helpful scent quiz
Cons
No full-sized products
You may have heard that scents smell different on everyone, which is why trusting a paper blotter spritzed with eau de toilette at the department store isn’t always reliable. Instead, Scentbird’s Subscription Box allows you to test perfumes at home on your own time. You can try out their bestsellers or take the quiz to access suggestions. For your first order, they’ll send a chic atomizer case along with an 8-milliliter bottle of your choosing, which is enough to last until the following month.
Starting at: $16.95/month

Best For Jewelry
Rocksbox Subscription Box
Credit: Rocksbox
Pros
Unlimited pieces you can rent each month
Lets you preview picks and swap items
Monthly credit of $21 can be used towards purchasing any item
Cons
No fine jewelry
Styles may not appeal to everyone’s taste
It can get pretty pricey trying to build an accessory collection. But with Rocksbox, you can rent three pieces of on-trend jewelry, so you’ll always have something stylish to complete your look. And when you get tired of those oversized gold-plated hoops, swap them for a statement cuff. While we didn't test this jewelry service, we appreciated the broad range of styles from designers like Kate Spade and Kendra Scott and the fact that you can hold onto pieces for as long as you like and trade however often you’d like, too.
Starting at: $21/month
Best For Skincare
Dermastore BeautyFIX Subscription
Credit: Dermastore
Pros
Great value
Products selected by beauty pros
Cons
Some online reviewers noted more travel-sized picks than full-sized
While they offer makeup and haircare too, the skincare obsessed will appreciate the wide collection of serums, exfoliators, washes and creams all hand-selected by a team of dermatologists, estheticians and hairstylists, so you can feel confident you’re getting good stuff in your BeautyFIX box. Every month, you’ll receive around $100 worth of trial and full-size products from brands like Sunday Riley, Vichy, and SkinCeuticals.
Starting at: $25/month

Best for Coffee
Blue Bottle Coffee Subscription
Pros

Cons
Pricey for coffee
Blue Bottle's signature blend Bella Donovan was a top performer in our coffee subscription box tests.

It may be hard to return candles you don't like
“You can never have too many candles.” If you’ve ever uttered those words, this subscription box is for you. Sign up to snag a selection of high-quality, all-natural candles in seasonal scents (how heavenly does Fig Tree & Freesia sound?) and gorgeous packaging every month. While we haven't tested the candles, the caliber of ingredients and sheer variety of distinct aromas offer an amazing value.

Best for Affordable Clothing
Haverdash Subscription Box
Credit: Haverdash
Pros
Inexpensive
Unlimited exchanges
Users say clothes are in great condition
Cons
Less variety
Items sent are based on availability
You don’t have to spend a lot to enjoy the perks of fashion rentals. Haverdash’s ultra-affordable subscription box allows you to rent 3 garments for just $59 a month, which works great for those who are watching their budgets. The service does not allow you to swap throughout the month, so you must return everything in order to get a fresh shipment of stuff.

Best For Toiletries
Blume Subscription Box
Credit: Blume
Pros
In-depth quiz helps to get better personalized product recommendations
Cons
Large focus on acne and period products
Blume makes a delivery of super-practical essentials feel like a special self-care treat — after all, not having to worry about stocking up on basics like skin cleanser, deodorant and tampons and pads will free you up to focus on the things you’d rather do.
Starting at: $8/month
Best For Haircare
Function of Beauty Benefits Membership
Credit: Function of Beauty
Pros
Tailored hair quiz
Custom frequency selection
Cons
No refunds or returns after an order has been processed. Though, first-time buyers have 30 days to request a one-time complimentary reformulation
Function of Beauty operates on the idea that haircare shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Therefore, the company has designed a system that allows you to create your own customized shampoo, conditioner and other styling and treatment products that will address exactly what your hair needs based on a detailed quiz. Once you subscribe to ongoing deliveries of a product, you’ll get perks of Function With Benefits, like members-only deals and access to exclusive products.

BloomsyBox Subscription Box
Credit: BloomsyBox
Pros
Flowers are long-lasting
Offers a pet-safe subscription with flowers that are non-toxic to animals
Well packaged
Cons
Other flower services may be more affordable
Cannot pick the flower varieties
There’s something so uplifting about a delivery of fresh flowers, and BloomsyBox allows you to decide how often you’d like them to come, whether weekly, monthly or twice a month. Each sustainably grown and ethically harvested bouquet is created by what’s in season—since you skip the middle man of the florist, the company promises super-fresh blooms that last extra long. While we didn't test this company, online reviewers praised how beautiful the flowers were and how they arrived in good condition.

Best For Tea
Sips By Personalized Tea Discovery Box
Credit: Sips By
Pros
Quiz allows you tailor teas to your tastes
Cons
Only one size box is available
Adventurous tea drinkers will get a kick out of exploring the four different teas that come in the Personalized Tea Discovery Box. Though we didn't have the opportunity to try Sips By out, we are fans of how they stock over 150 brands from around the world, so you can sample everything from Himalayan White and Moroccan Mint to Snickerdoodle Rooibos and Chocolate Matcha.

Best For Workout Clothes
Fabletics VIP Membership
Credit: Fabletics
Pros
Membership exclusive pricing
Variety of styles available
Flexibility to use credit on other purchases
Cons
May not suit everyone's style
Think of it this way: When you have a stash of cute activewear outfits, it’s that much more of an incentive to work out. Heck, even if you just wear these to hang out, you’ll not only be comfortable but look good, too. Fabletics allows you to buy their flattering leggings, colorful bra tops, and more a la carte, but if you become a member, you unlock steeper discounts and get a stylish matching two-piece set every month. Plus, you have the option to skip a month.
Starting at: $60/month

You’ll receive as many as eight full-size products and you’ll have the chance to pick a few out. Even though we have not tried the box ourselves, one online reviewer says, " I love the variety that comes in the boxes."
