I love monthly subscription
boxes.
I have found that subscription boxes are a great way to try new
products, and not spend the money on a full price item. Why spend the money on
a full price item, and then later find out that you just do not like it that
much? I have been very pleasantly surprised in the last few plus months with the
Birchbox subscription box. January will be my 6 month with Birchbox, and they
even sent me a 20% off coupon for my 6 month birthday. Birchbox also provides great tips
and tutorials for makeup, men’s products, and they also have accessories/decorations
etc. for the home. Birchbox is a little piece of goodness, that tickles me pink every time I go to the website.
Each
Birchbox is $10. And you get in each box about 5-6 items, ranging from makeup, hair
products, and face cleansers to fortune cookies. Unlike some subscriptions
boxes that give their members the same items, Birchbox sends many different
boxes to their members. It is always exciting to see what box I will get each
month.
Here is
my January 2013 box, which was fantastic…
Items in the box included....

the after effects left a great clean and fresh smell to my hair.

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream
·
This rich cream is designed to beat dryness for
24 hours, thanks to a unique Super 7 Complex of plant extracts. Lotus flower
extracts and blue-green algae firm skin and prevent wrinkles, while hibiscus
fruit extract hydrates skin from the inside out. Fig fruit extract helps skin
retain moisture, and vitamins C and E are powerful antioxidants. Finally,
vegetable glycerol creates a natural moisture barrier on skin.
·
I tried it last night, and it goes on very
smooth and clean feeling. I do not like a face cream to leave me feeling like
there is a lot of residue or oil afterward, and this did not. I will have to
keep using it and see the effects.
·
Full size version $42.00
