Do you Birchbox? I do.

You haven't heard of Birchbox? Oh, please let me introduce you!

Last November, several of my friends went in a birthday present for me. A year's subscription to Birchbox! Up to that point, I had never heard of it, but once my friends explained it to me, I was ecstatic! Birchbox is a $10/month ($110/year) subscription that sends you around 5 high-end beauty samples. These aren't little one-time use samples, either. These are DELUXE.

Check out what I received last week:
That Nars Illuminator is probably worth the $10 alone! (Amazing, by the way.) We also received a sample of Befine Exfolianting Cleanser, which is the most gentle, moisturizing exfoliant I have ever used. (This sample is worth at least $10 too!) The bareMinerals mascara is incredible, and who ever needs more than a sample size anyway? (Do you throw your mascara out every 3 months like you should? I try...) They also sent a green tea moisturizer which is very nice and some chocolates. (They occasionally throw in a yummy treat. Fun.)

Another fabulous thing about BirchBox? It comes wrapped in a beautiful box, ribbon and darling pink tissue paper. The outer box, which I didn't take a picture of, is a cute pink shipping box. I love when I open my mailbox to find it sitting there.

Also, if you review the products on their website, you can receive points towards earning free, full size products! Holy Moley. That is awesome!

Birchbox offers a month-to-month subscription, so there is no obligation. Fabulous.

I am not being sponsored or paid by Birchbox. (I don't think they know my blog exists...) This review/recommendation is coming straight from my beauty-product-lovin' heart.

    ohhh, I believe the included chocolates probably un-do's (undoes?) anything one might get out of the beauty products!! :P

    Just ordered this for a BFF who's a new mom and had some complications after childbirth. this combines two things she loves -- getting mail and hoarding beauty samples.

    THANK YOU!

    Love this because I LOVE beauty samples & try to base my makeup purchases around free gift with purchase deals. I'm getting a subscription for myself and one for my sister {whom I dearly love}.

    My sister-in-law founded Birchbox! (Katia Beauchamp) It's such a wonderful program, and they are a bunch of really classy gals. I'll pass this post along! :)
