This new Boxycharm vs GlossyBox vs BeautyFix series compares my subscription every month to give you a good idea what you can expect from these popular beauty subscription boxes. (Boxycharm and GlossyBox are both $21 a month, and BeautyFix is $24.95 a month, so they seemed close enough in cost to compare!)

Important to know: With Glossybox and Boxycharm, there are certain items that all subscribers will receive, but the remainder of items in the box will vary. With BeautyFix, all items are the same for all subscribers. (With the exception of perhaps different colors of a beauty item.)

Favorite item in the box: EVOLVh SuperFinish Polishing Balm
EVOLVh is a high-end, pricey, ingredient-conscious brand that I love, so I was thrilled to see a full-sized product from them in this box! It's a lightweight hair styling cream that smells lovely - I've been using it every day since getting this box!

Verdict: It's a tough pick this month, but I'm going with BeautyFix because I really loved all their full size and deluxe size items this month - which makes the box an amazing value for me.
What was your favorite box for March? And what was your favorite product?
Here are my general suggestions for which box to pick:
Boxycharm: If you are looking for full-size makeup, this is the box to go for. They consistently send out makeup in addition to haircare and skincare products. (You will quickly build up an impressive eyeshadow collection with this subscription box!)
GlossyBox: This is the best box if you're looking for trying out brands that you typically don't see in the US. You'll get a mix of US and EU brands. The one downside is that values of these boxes can vary depending on which variation you get, so make sure you're happy with the main spoiler items that everyone gets if you're thinking about signing up.
BeautyFix: This is my go-to box for sampling a lot of high-end skincare products. They usually round out the boxes with a few makeup and haircare products, too. You'll get a mix of full-size and sample-size products.
