Hello ladies! Today's blog is all about Birchbox! What's Birchbox you ask? Well it's a monthly subscription service that's all about beauty products. You go on the website, answer a few questions, and then wait to receive your box! For $10 a month, you get a box filled with 4 to 5 luxe sized samples from skin care to makeup to beauty tools, all from top or up and coming brands! You also get a "free" prize in each months box too. Now when I say sample, don't think of those whimpy-little-one-time-use samples, we're all familiar with. No, these have a least 3 uses in them, usually more! From full sized Stila eye shadows to Laura Geller blushes, Birchbox includes full size products from time to time too!
Birchbox arrives to your mailbox in a bright pink box, with this little cardboard box inside. Once you open it up, you'll find a card that describes the theme of that months box, and on the other side of the card is a list of all the products, how to use them, and their prices. If you happen to love a product from that box, you can go to the Birchbox website and purchase the full size with free shipping.
Underneath the card, you'll find pink tissue paper hiding your goodies! I don't ever look online or at the product card before opening the tissue paper, I just love the surprise of discovering my samples for that month! Pictured right, you can see some of the products and a little ribbon wrapped package with your smaller goodies in it. Who doesn't love unwrapping a lovely surprise each month?!
Okay enough with the details, let's get into this month's box! Oh and everyone's box is different, depending on your skin type/color, preferences, etc. In this months box, I received, from right to left, Borghese Fango Active Mud Face & Body Mask, LaRocca Champagne and Shimmer Supreme Creme, Zoya nail polish from the 2011 Holiday Collection in the color Izzy, Two Paper Dolls Coasters, Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensee Cologne Absloue and postcard, and a special prize of a Bauble Bar Bracelet.
I've been receiving Birchbox since July and have received some good ones. But to be honest, this wasn't my favorite box. The silly coasters and vanilla cigar smelling cologne did not make the cut. My favorite things from this box are definitely the bracelet and the nail polish, the mask and body shimmer creme are nice too. The nail polish is fabulous, Zoya is a great brand and "Izzy" is the most perfect shade of metallic fuchsia ever!
Birchbox is definitely worth the $10 per month, in my opinion. You really do get introduced to some great products that you might not have ever come across otherwise. Also, you earn 10 points each month, and 100 points equals $10 for you to spend in the Birchbox store. You also get points when you purchase from the Birchbox store and review products. You can go onto the website and review the products from your box each month, and receive 10 points for each review, that's 40 to 50 points a month. In just 2 months, you've earned at least $10 to spend in the Birchbox store! Earning points seems daunting at first, but they really do come easily. If you're a girly girl and into makeup, skincare, and all that fun stuff, you should give Birchbox a try! You pay only $10 per month, no more, no shipping, no tax, just $10, and if you end up not liking it, you can just cancel it, no harm no hassle. So signup for Birchbox today, they even have one for men too!
Happy Birchboxing!
xoxo, L♥
