Birchbox January 2015 Review

Jae Burkett 6 Comments

Birchbox was on top of it this month. Unfortunately, I was not. I needed a few weeks to recharge after the holidays and get all my ducks in a row for the new year, so here I am, cranking this thing out at the last minute. I got the shipping notification on the 7th and my box showed up on the 9th. After a few months of it arriving later than usual, this was a nice surprise. Each month, Birchbox subscribers receive a variety of beauty samples to try for only $10. Continue Reading →

Birchbox got a little Christmas crazy this month, and it was awesome. The theme was “decked out”, and that’s exactly what they did with my box. Isn’t it so pretty and festive? Continue Reading →

My November Birchbox came exceptionally late this month, so here I am, trying to cram a review in at the last minute before December. The theme of the November box is all about giving back. Birchbox has partnered with (RED) to raise money and awareness for the fight against AIDS and has committed to donating $15,000 plus an additional $1.00 every time a photo of the facts on the box is shared on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #shaRED. It’s easy and I think it’s a great way to get people involved. Continue Reading →

Birchbox is celebrating the arrival of fall and their 4 year anniversary this month by sending out adorable boxes with geometric patterns printed on them. It’s a good thing too, because I needed another reason to start hoarding Birchbox boxes in my closet again. Continue Reading →

Well, it finally happened. Glossybox and I have officially broken up. I will be receiving one more box after this, and then I’m done. I subscribed to Glossybox because I was under the impression that I would be getting makeup products tailored to my tastes, but over the past six months, my boxes have mostly been one disappointment after another.

The Glossybox subscription is $21/month for 5 deluxe and sometimes full-sized items. This month’s box is ‘Merica themed, featuring only products that are made in the US. The patriotic design of the actual box is pretty cute, and it even got here just in time for July 4th. Continue Reading →
