Birchbox #2

Sometimes I think I secretly signed up for monthly Birchbox's just to get a package in the mail every month...

 Theme of the Month: March Madness

Left to Right: Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream, Couture La La Perfume, Whish Shave Cream in Blueberry, Seroe Normat Dry Shampoo, and a Madewell Nail File

Birchbox #1

My very first Birchbox arrived yesterday! (See the original post here)

Left to Right: Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate with Caramel Filling, Jouer Matte Moisture Tint with SPF 15, Color Club Nail Laquer in Tweet Me, TIGI Catwalk Finishing Hairspray

It looks like every month, they send products out based on a theme. This month, because of all of the glitzy and glamorous awards shows going on, they're sending out product samples that help to achieve those looks. The even have tutorials and a blog on their website to help guide you!

Who doesn't love sampling products? If you haven't heard of Birchbox already, you'll definitely want to check it out! Birchbox was founded in Boston on the foundation that everyone loves to sample products and get reviews from friends. For just $10/month, subscribers will receive 4-5 samples a month based on your customized grooming/beauty profile. Their product samples range from make-up to skincare products to hair products, and their brands range from Benefit to Kiehl's to Bvlgari. The great thing about having a customized profile is that the samples are catered to you. I have shoeboxes full of product samples at home, and I haven't touched half of them because I either don't use that type of product, or it's not meant for my skin type. They also recently just launched their Men's line for $20/month.

I'm expecting my first box soon, and I can't wait! In the meantime, I'll be keeping myself busy reading up on their blog and their tutorials posted on the website :)
