Chic Beauty Box January February 2021 Spoilers and Unboxing
Chic Beauty Box is a beauty subscription box that provides 4-5 full-sized makeup products worth over for $100 for $34.99 every other month. They were kind enough to send me January/ February's box to test out and provide my honest review. Because Chic Beauty Box is based out of Canada, shipping to the United States is an additional $7.95. However, you can use my non-affiliate code BEAUTYJOURNALSXO for 10% off your entire subscription (sign up here)!

The Allure Beauty Box is a subscription that provides 5 - 6 full/ deluxe-sized beauty products, with a $70+ value, for $15 a month (shipping included).
