When Birchbox hit the market in 2010, it revolutionized the cosmetic world. With so many beauty products to choose from, trying them all would be nearly impossible, not to mention cost a fortune. Enter, the beauty box. The bold move by Katie Beauchamp and Hayley Barna who created the cosmetic subscription box, giving a whole new meaning to the word sample.

Online beauty blogging was on the verge of taking off, thus making Birchbox the perfect solution for millions of followers who were dying to try their favorite blogger’s products. Fast forward eight years later and suddenly there’s a subscription box for almost everything. It’s a subscribers worlds we’re living in, with more options than we could have ever fathomed.
