I've had a lot of people ask me about the monthly Birchbox subscription I receive. First of all, YES it's worth it-for the right person like me- who doesn't know a lot about the beauty world and needs samples of inspiration. There are so many brands and products out there, so I can appreciate a company than can cater to my skin type, hair type, beauty needs and overall style on a monthly basis. It's $9.99 a month and you get an average of 5 samples, some small and a full size every once and awhile. When you apply, you fill out a questionnaire that covers what type of samples you want to receive and whatnot, which means not everyone will receive the same things in their Birchbox each month. Let's get started!
My Birchbox usually comes wrapped in hot pink paper and the samples are wrapped in tissue paper. It comes with a card inside that lists what's in your box, the description of each item and how it's used, and the full size retail price. I usually love 4/5 of my products and re-purchase 50% of them.
This list helps me decide what I can afford and can't afford.
This month's products weren't too pricey!

I love brightening facial scrubs because they add an awesome glow. I'm finishing off a sample from a couple of months ago, so I'm excited to compare them both!
I'm a die hard Marc Jacobs Daisy user, but recently ran out. This Harvey Prince perfume sample came just in time and I actually really like it. It should hold me over until I repurchase my Marc Jacobs.
Whoa eyeliner! I don't usually wear any eyeliner except in the wintertime when I'm feeling edgier. This is nice because it's waterproof and I usually go straight from work to the gym where I sweat like an animal. I'm wearing it today to test out and I LOVE it. It's fairly affordable as well!
Ooh! A fancy shaving gel! I tried this out last night and it made my skin super soft after shaving. It also smells amazing. I don't think I will repurchase because I don't feel the need to spend more than $3 on a shaving cream. It will be nice to use until it runs out though!
Hope you all enjoyed my beauty rant. Try out a Birchbox and see if it's for you. Christmas comes once a month when I see my pink box in the mail!
