I love Fab Fit Fun’s boxes! They always have such cute artwork or design. I also love my pink Ipsy envelopes!

Glossybox. The boxes are sturdy, reusable, giftable and can be used for crafts. They are the best from what I get

I love the fuschia Ipsy mailer and that it’s an actual mailer and not a box. Don’t ask me why. LOL.

Maybe it’s because I used to get annoyed at all the packaging from Birchbox. A box… within a box… and still sometimes within another box. It just seemed unnecessary.

With that said, on the opposite side of the spectrum, I love the trunk boxes from Trunk Club! 😀

I’ve always loved GB beautiful pink boxes and the black ribbon inside. They are great for storing all kinds of things. My son loves the wood Breo Box for storing his stuff.

It’s not a sub but they have one time purchase beauty bags, Net a Porter. They have super luxe black boxes and packaging. It’s worth a purchase for the packaging alone!

I love bags! So this is simple – Ipsy and Sephora play. Another subscriptions like FFF, Allure, Bircbox have their cute boxes also, but I think bags is more useful.

To me, Gentleman’s Box Premium (quarterly sub) has awesome packaging. The contents arrive on a beautiful custom-made wood crate made by a company called “Woodchuck”, who plants a tree for every box purchased. 👍

I think I listed in my original post the boxes that I think have the prettiest packaging, but I thought I’d also list some that I find I get a bit more excited about unboxing than others (even though all my subs are exciting to unbox… otherwise I wouldn’t get them). I’d have to add Curl Kit, because I love getting my box (contained in a USPS envelope) and either feeling an extra item outside of the box, or the lid not fitting properly because there’s just so much stuff inside it. Since their box is full of different types of products & sizes, it’s always fun to see what they put inside each month.

Some others are: Maple Blume, Face Mask Alchemy, How to be Redhead, Look Incredible, My Secret Box, Organic Bunny, Yuzen, and Nose Joy. I think these are all extra fun to unbox because I usually have no idea what’s in them when I get them, and I know I’ll always be happy with what I get (based on past experience… I hope I didn’t just jinx myself by saying that).

I enjoyed the Adidas Avenue A boxes when they coordinated the design to the booklet and the colors of your shoes/outfit. They’re sturdy, and with the separate compartments they work well to organize my linen closet and all my extra skincare/cosmetics!

Breo Box!
I legitimately consider the wooden box in the value of the sub. I haven’t gotten one yet, but I’d love that box!

Glossybox without the items. I’m fine with just the box itself.

That bright magenta ipsy mailer is pretty #iconic.

I’ve seen reviews on the blog of a couple of other subs using the same type of mailer, & I’m always like, ‘oh, they’re using an ipsy envelope.’

Lol I do the same thing!

Yuzen & Boxwalla for beauty boxes. PS LE boxes with all the black tissue. Breo for the wooden crates.

Luna

Oh ya… Yuzen is a fun one to unbox. It always amazes me how they can fit all of those products in that mesh bag. 🙂

Luxe Provence, Oui Please and Robb Vices

I love the Oui Please box but think the packaging sucks as it’s all just kinda tossed in! If they packaged the contents like Popsugar LE boxes it would have a more luxe feel to it IMO.

I’d like to separate my choices into 2 categories: ” Pretty” or ” Luxe” as they are not exactly the same to me.

Pretty- Art Of Organics Clean Beauty Box is gorgeous every time. So is the large Snakku box. 🙂 Also, when FFF really tries, they’ve had some pretty and artistic boxes but the ” road dirt” from the week in shipping and the use of cheap cardboard almost spoils the effect. I’d like a better inner/ outer box system from them!

Luxe ( not that I really care, if I’m paying $200- up for a box, I just want the items to be deluxe) but:
Oui Please, RZBOS ( Except Winter 2017 which was beat UP), Luxe Provence, Robb Vice, PS LE boxes, some 5th Avenue Style boxes, and some Luxor SE boxes.

In amazed at VineOh! and Popsugar limited edition boxes. Both are so well packaged that opening everything is just a treat in itself!
