Birchbox #1

Yesterday in the mail I found my Birchbox package!  If you don't know what Birchbox is, it's a monthly service where you are sent about 4-5 deluxe samples of beauty products.  This can be related to makeup, hair, skin, or even little edible treats!  It's $10 a month and it gives you a chance to try a fair amount of products without committing to buying the whole thing.  You don't get to choose the products you get, but I have never been disappointed with what was sent to me.   This months package was dedicated to Valentine's Day.  When you open the package you get a card explaining the package and the products found inside.

In the note it said this package was all about indulgence.  In the beautifully wrapped package, I found the above five products.  From left to right: Bare Escentuals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara, Befine exfoliating brown sugar cleanser, Nars Orgasm Illuminator (my favorite of the bunch!), Pomega5 green tea mattifying moisturizer, and a Birchbox treat in sweetriot chocolate-covered cacao nibs.

These deluxe size samples are great!  I'm most excited for the Nars illuminator because I always wanted to try them but never wanted to pay $29 for the full size.  This is a very good sized sample because a little goes a long way with this product.




Along with this service, you can go and give feedback on the products that you received and for each product you give feedback on, you get 10 Birchbox points.  Once you acquire 100 of these points you get $10 off your next box OR a product from their site.  They sell full size products that were found in the Birchbox on their website.
