P.Louise built a cult following in the UK beauty space long before the Budget Box subscription existed, so when they launched a monthly box hand-picked by the brand's own CEO, I wanted to see if the value actually holds up against a £30 price tag.
Every new subscriber is guaranteed a box, and it's processed on the last day of each month. The big selling point here is that it's full-sized products, not sample sachets - which is a meaningful difference from a lot of beauty subscription boxes that pad things out with minis.
My box included a mix of makeup bag essentials and a mascara-adjacent item, all full-sized, which made the £30 price feel reasonable compared to buying the same products individually at P.Louise's regular pricing. The surprise element is part of the appeal if you already trust the brand's formulas.
Pros: Full-sized products (not minis), CEO-curated selection, guaranteed monthly box for new subscribers, good value relative to buying items individually.
Cons: Contents are a surprise so you can't pick specific items, best suited to people who already like P.Louise's makeup formulas, UK-based pricing/shipping.
The subscription is £30.00/month (roughly $38-39 USD), billed monthly with your box processed on the last day of each month.
Curious to see what's in this month's box? Shop the P.Louise Budget Box.
