From Birchbox to GLOSSYBOX, there are all sorts of monthly beauty subscriptions out there.
However, not one of these boxes was really designed to meet the needs of dark-skinned beauties.
Until now, that is. That's right. ESSENCE magazine finally created a beauty box just for women of color.
The ESSENCE BeautyBox is the first of its kind and features product samples specially curated to compliment the beauty routines of women with darker skin tones.
Each month, subscribers will receive a box filled with five products carefully selected by ESSENCE beauty experts, along with some of the experts' best-kept beauty secrets and makeup tips.
Take a look at the pictures below to see these awesome new beauty boxes.
If you're a dark-skinned lady looking to kick up your beauty routine, I have some good news for you.
All of your beauty-box prayers have finally been answered...
...thanks to ESSENCE magazine's new beauty boxes.
The ESSENCE BeautyBox is the first monthly beauty subscription...
...containing products specially geared toward women of color.
Each month, subscribers receive five hand-selected samples...
From brand-name favorites...
...or hot, new products from independent, black-owned businesses.
Plus, each box comes with tips and tricks from the magazine's beauty gurus.
Pamela Edwards Christiani, ESSENCE's Beauty & Style director, told BuzzFeed,
When you think about beauty boxes that cover all categories — skincare, color, hair — most likely, for an African-American woman who's subscribed to one, she's probably going to find at least one thing that doesn't work for her whether because of skin color or because of the hair situation.
Christiani said, "We thought this is a really good opportunity for us to have a truly curated box so she has all categories and we also get to highlight entrepreneurial black-owned businesses."
She added, "So she's getting not just what's new and launches but also being educated and inspired at the same time."
The beauty boxes cost $15 per month and are set to debut in October.
