There’s a boatload of subscriptions on the market and certainly a hell of a lot more choice since I first discovered them so it’s hard to get really excited about new launches nowadays as they all seem to do the same thing but excitingly I randomly stumbled across #GirlCrush on Instagram who are fairly new to the subscription industry and they’ve come up with something fresh and inviting covering both beauty, fashion and lifestyle treats and wait for it…it’s championed by girl bosses from all around the world! Putting beautiful and innovative brands created by women in the spotlight you can expect to see some well-known and many undiscovered brands which is really positive as I think it’s a great way to recognise the amazing work they all do plus if you love discovering new finds then this box not only is a true treat with some of the items customised to your preferences but it’s also fantastic value for money too…I can’t believe how much they cram in for only £20.00 a month – it’s a complete steal!

#GirlCrush Box contains carefully curated luxury fashion, beauty and lifestyle products and you’ll also get to know the inspiring women behind the products, hence the name #GirlCrush – the aim is to have you crushing on both the products you receive and the girlies they were created by. Each month you can expect 8 high quality products sometimes worth up to £150! Every month they also donate 10% of their box sales profits to a women’s charity. 

The contents arrived inside a bag as opposed to a box and I really enjoyed rummaging through all the contents I honestly felt like a kid at Christmas! Also the company has offered my readers a pretty awesome discount code which you’ll find at the end of this post but it’s limited to the first 20 people who subscribe so you’ll need to be quick! 

Without further ramblings from me, here’s a very quick overview of what I received inside the May Edit:

My Verdict

With so many beauty and lifestyle subscription boxes floating around, I’m delighted to have discovered the #girlcrush subscription, a fairly new box on the block whose mission is to fill our stash with beauty, lifestyle and fashion treats sourced from girl bosses and I’m pleased to report that my first ever introduction has certainly been a very positive one which in turn means I’ll be subscribing to their June edition! I think you’ll agree the selection and the amount of products on board is impeccable, fantastic value for money and the contents are very well-balanced to satisfy any beauty, fashion, and lifestyle cravings of the subscriber. For an unbelievable £20.00 a month, this edition came jam packed and admittedly I really enjoyed rummaging through the bag to find all the treats, I felt like a kid at Christmas but most of all this subscription put that fun and excitement back into a concept that’s become very saturated and samey so it was really refreshing to be introduced to a host of new brands and products. Overall, there’s so much to love about #girlcrush and other than the top which wasn’t my kind of style I think I’ll definitely be able to make use out of the remainder. One thing I’d like to mention is I’ve seen bloggers and subscribers receive different contents for this month’s edition which look equally just as good but please do bear that in mind if you do chose to press that subscribe button. There’s was no information card either so I’d love to see one inside next month’s edition as I struggled finding some of the items online! If you love receiving beauty and lifestyle surprises in the post then I highly recommend checking out #girlcrush – for only £20.00 you really can’t go wrong!
