Good things come in small packages

Lately the market has been buzzing with different versions of the beauty box to cater to our regular beauty needs. Though the concept is in its nascent stage, it has managed to garner the necessary fan following through Facebook, twitter and the likes. For people like me, who have a penchant for trying out new things, this seemed to be a good idea because:
a) It keeps you updated about the products in the market
b) Of the surprise element
c) Who doesn't love a package of pretty box sitting on your table after a long hard day of work?

I have compiled a list of the beauty boxes available in the market for your benefit. Lets take a look at what is in display:

1. The Fab bag (Earlier and popularly known as the Vellvette bag)
I have had the opportunity to try it out (3-month plan) and I was quite happy with what I received. Every month they send 3 deluxe cosmetics and beauty products from top global brands. Sometimes they also send a fourth complimentary product which adds to the surprise element. Along with the products, they also send out cards which give a description of the brand and the product in question, along with discount coupons for your next purchase. In some cases, they also send full sized products, which is great. In my December bag, I got a lip product from Burt and bees which was simply superb.



For a 1 month plan- Rs 599
For a 3 month plan- Rs 433 per month (pay Rs 1299)
For a 6 month plan- Rs 399 per month (pay Rs 2399)
For a 12 month plan- Rs 333 per month (pay Rs 3999)

2. My Envy Box
This box offers 5 trial sized beauty products (typically 2ml-10ml) from top international luxury brands. The box looks utterly chic. They also give access to special deals. The only flipside is that it is a little on the higher side than the other ones.



For a 1 month plan- Rs 850
For a 3 month plan- Rs 2225
For a 6 month plan- Rs 4350
For a 12 month plan- Rs 8500
