8. Target Beauty Box – Varies in cost, usually $7-$10
While the Target Beauty Box is isn't actually a subscription (Target releases new beauty boxes about every other month), this box is still so popular that the boxes regularly sell out. The value is always great, they come with Target coupons, and they have a good mix of samples and full-size items. Also, a pro-tip from fellow My Subscription Addiction readers – save the Target Beauty Coupon in your box to use on your next Target Beauty Box purchase!
