Aster Skincare Box

Aster Skincare's beauty box sends full-size products from its own vegan, cruelty-free line, which is handcrafted in Texas with botanical ingredients like saffron, rosehip and pomegranate and draws on Middle Eastern beauty traditions. Each box holds 4 to 5 full-size products, typically covering steps like a cleanser, toner, day cream and anti-aging serums, with a stated retail value of $150 to $200 or more. You also get a beauty bag, a custom note and a thank-you card, and seasonal boxes add a small surprise pouch. Recent and past boxes on Cratejoy include a Gratitude Glow box with a 2-in-1 day cream for face and eyes, a rosehip facial oil serum and a magnesium body gel, and a fall box with a gel cleanser, lip serum, night eye serum and anti-wrinkle night serum. Since everything comes from a single brand, this is less of a discovery box than a way to build a full routine from one line at a lower price than buying each item. The first box ships within 1 to 2 business days, and later boxes ship between the 10th and 15th. It ships only within the USA. It suits clean-beauty shoppers and makes a generous gift for anyone who prefers vegan skincare.
