Birchbox-- July 2012

I got my Birchbox and wanted to do a quick post on what I received. If you haven't heard of Birchbox it's a $10/month subscription service. Each month you receive a box with 4-5 deluxe beauty samples and "lifestyle extras". Each month has a theme, and sometimes the box will be curated. Every now and then you will get a full sized product. I have used the service for almost a year and have found many new favorites through it.

This month's box was curated by Glamour Magazine!


Here is what the box looks like when opened.


The packaging is always so pretty.

Stila Lip Glaze in the color "Action".
-0.05fl oz-

Tea Forte minteas in the flavor "Lemongrass Yuzu"
-one tin-

Set of hot pink and blue earbuds

Color Club nail polish in "Blue-Ming". This is actually a lot brighter and mintier than shown.
-0.25 fl oz-

Annick Goutal "Eau d' Hadrien perfume. Very citrus-y.
-.06 fl oz-

Boscia B.B. Cream
I like this one WAY better than Garnier's.
-0.35 oz-

Tips a tricks:

-Full sized items are often sold with free shipping on the Birchbox website.

-Complete product reviews on the website to earn "Birchbox Points". These quickly add up and are redeemable for money off full sized purchases.

-Referring a friend or gifting a subscription also earns "Birchbox Points"

-You can end your subscription at anytime.

- What you receive is based on your answers in a survey given when you sign up. There are multiple versions of the box each month.
