3 More Luxury Beauty Sample Subscriptions for Canadians

Last fall I spoke about my LuxeBox, then GlymmBox and just recently I found out about 2 more luxury sample beauty boxes available to Canadians!

If you love quality items but not the price tag and are tired of digging through thrift store bins for luxury finds, there are a few websites online that sell items for less (usually about 70% off)but you need to be on the ball! These websites showcase several brand names a day. So sometimes you…
