Birchbox: The World of Subscription Boxes!


My new obsession: Subscription Boxes! This was my first venture into this awesome, convenient and inexpensive way to keep up with new beauty products and trends.

Birchbox offers Hand-picked beauty and lifestyle samples, delivered to your door for $10/month + Free shipping! Birchbox has been featured in USA Today, The New York Times, Time, Bloomberg Businessweek, InStyle, and Marie Claire, among other major national publications.

Birchbox is the best way to discover new grooming, beauty and lifestyle products. Sample top products from high-end brands, get expert advice, buy new favorites and earn points with every purchase. Each month, you'll receive a selection of samples that we’ve tried (and retried) ourselves. We source our samples from both well-known brands and emerging gems. The women’s subscription includes everything from skincare to makeup, as well as fun non-beauty extras. The men’s subscription delivers top-tier grooming products in addition to lifestyle accessories ranging from hip socks to tech accessories. Check out the ever-growing list of products in the Women’s Shop and Men’s Shop.

Once you become a subscriber you can purchase full-size versions directly from the Birchbox Shop. They have a generous loyalty program that rewards you every time you shop, refer friends, and give feedback on your monthly samples. You can redeem Birchbox Points and save on any full-size or gift purchase.

So far I have received 2 boxes and I was very happy with each one. I also purchased a 3-month gift subscription for my sister for Christmas and she is more than happy with it. We both get completely different boxes too! (this depends on your beauty profile which you fill out when you subscribe) I have definitely branched out of my comfort zone as well in terms of trying new techniques -- umm hello liquid eyeliner!
