Beauty boxes and auto-ship

Convenient, but check what you really use.

4 min read

Subscription boxes and auto-ship discounts can be good value, or a steady stream of products you never finish.

Before you subscribe

  • Check how much you'd use of a typical box
  • Set auto-ship intervals to match how fast you really finish a product
  • Know how to skip, pause or cancel before you sign up
  • Put a reminder in your calendar before each renewal

Already subscribed?

Look at the last three boxes. If most items are unopened, pause or cancel and use up what you have.
