My monthly love, Birchbox- try higher end beauty products without the higher end price tag

I'm not sure if you are anything like me, but I love beauty products. I worked at a beauty supply store and felt completely at home. It was one of the jobs that I felt very capable and fulfilled. It my sound weird but I felt as though I was helping people to feel better about themselves. It also helped that I believed in the product that I was selling. They helped people around the world and fought for different charities it was great. But I also could try products without having to buy them.

Well I have found something that allows me to try the newest thing that is out there without breaking the bank. This company allows you to try samples of the newest and greatest products for only $10 a month. It is fantastic. You want to try that new bb cream but don't want to spend $25, you can. Then if you like it you can purchase it right on the site. This company is called Birchbox. You are able to create a profile where you rate certain items and they look at your profile when they are creating a box for you. You receive about 5-6 items such as, makeup, skin care, hair products, and some snacks or chocolates.

When the little pink box comes I am always very excited. You open it and this is what you see.

 

 

Inside the pink box is another box, don't worry it doesn't get smaller and smaller, but I do keep these boxes to use for gifts.

 

This is what was in the box this month

 

 



 

 



 

Starting at the top is Nexus shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair. Going clockwise is a black eye liner from Noir. The little container with TEE -HEE had a few of the other items in it. Then there is a Supergoop hand cream. Next is a great bronzer from ModelCo. Lastly there is a detoxing face wash from Vasanti.

 

The items that I really like from this box are the eye liner, it goes on so smooth, the bronzer which creates a natural looking glow, and the hand cream that is thick but not greasy and smells great almost like a tea or clean sort of smell. I have not used the shampoo or face wash. I do not really use face wash because I use a Norwex face cloth that does not require soap or a cleanser of any kind. It is naturally antibacterial and removes all of my make up no joke.

 

 

I absolutely love Birchbox. It is cheaper than most other monthly subscriptions that I know of. I have used Julep but it was $20 and mostly nail polish and it did not seem as worth it, but I did love Julep as well, when I was trying to build up my nail polish stash.

 

Birchbox also provides you with great travel sized toiletries I have used them on most of the trips I have taken in the last few years. It was great for those people that want to expand their beauty regimen and try higher end products without the higher end cost.
