Yesterday I decided that it would be best to give the Birchbox subscription box the fair college-try. It’s definitely something most can afford at $10 a month, and I’d like to gift a 3-month subscription to my niece, but I’d like to try it out first.
If you don’t know what Birchbox is, it’s an international company based out of NYC that offers a subscription box service that corresponds with their online shop. If you are a subscriber, each month you receive a lovely box stuffed with approximately 4-5 skin, body, hair, or lifestyle products based on the information you provided in your beauty profile. These products are typically sample sized, but occasionally you do receive a full-sized product. If you like a sample you receive, you can go to their online shop and purchase the full-size product at a deep discount to regular prices. They also have a wonderful points program included with your account that gives you some money to spend in their shop.
I decided that for $10, I’m on board. Let’s do this! So I scurried as fast as my fingers could take me over to their website, clicked on the “subscribe” link, and BAM!
They say I need to request an invite and in 2-4 weeks, they’ll invite me to try a subscription from them.
I’ll keep you posted on how long the process takes, and I’ll review the box when it gets here! Mom needs a little something for herself too, right?
Until next time,
Alexi
XOXO
