I know I'm late to the sample subscription party, but one of the tactics I decided to use to recapture my spark is a subscription to two of the most popular. I couldn't decide between Birchbox and ipsy, so for now I'm subscribing to both. Birchbox came first, so I'll review it first.
The Birchbox subscription is $10 per month with free shipping. I found a code for 50% off the first month, so my first month was $5. According to a breakdown on The Subscription Box Family, the total value of the items in the box is $55.81. I usually don't spend much on beauty products, so the subscription lets me try some higher-end products without spending too much.
The box that came was cheerful. It's great packaging. It made me happy to look at it. It did give me a slightly twisted laugh that the fist box they sent me was curated by wedding blog Style Me Pretty. Nothing says "recovering from a divorce" like beauty products aimed at brides.
I can see myself slightly modifying and reusing the box itself because it is a nice size for a gift box, and I like the "hooray" message on it.
The box contains:
I'll try and review all of these products tomorrow. Get ready for beauty!
