What is Birchbox?

WHAT IS BIRCHBOX?

Birchbox is an AWESOME gift that you receive in the mail each month for only $10 (includes shipping). These amazing boxes come
packaged in a pretty pink box filled with goodies wrapped in pink tissue paper and hand tied with ribbon. The box includes 4-5 high end
beauty products that can be purchased in full size through their website. Each box includes a card with a description of the products.
Once you receive your box and have reviewed the products, you simply log into your account and it already gives you direct access to your personalized items as well as other great products. When you sign up, you fill out a profile that ensures that you are receiving products
that cater to your specific needs. Even better, when you purchase products through the site, you earn points that are good for discounts
on later purchases. In my first Birchbox I received a full sized blush retailed at $29,50 among other great samples. I must say, I think
they just found their newest advocate for the company! :)


THE POINT SYSTEM
You can earn points for the following:
10 points = each product you review from your box (4-6 per month usually)
1 point = each dollar you spend on the website
50 points = each referral you make to the company
In essence, if you refer one friend a month and complete your reviews, it is as though your box is free!

January's Box

It's about time I got back on here!  Yes, I have been busy, but the last thing I think about when my box comes in is looking for my camera.  I have about 6 of them, all with different chargers, cords, cards,etc.  I get too frustrated trying to find matching pieces, which is something I need to work on.  Any-who, please excuse the quality of the photos because it wasn't until AFTER I took them using my super old Sony that I prayed to St. Anthony (works like a charm, no need to be catholic) and found both the card reader I was looking for AND the battery charger to my newest Sony that I have been searching for for months.  By this time I have no patience to wait for my camera to charge in order to retake the photos, but you can get the picture.  ;)

This month I was extra excited to blog because I decided to try out a few different monthly subscription services as well.  Today my Beauty Army box arrived with my Birchbox, so I will start a blog for that after I update this one.  So without further ado... here is what came in my box:


This is my FAVORITE item in the box!  Yes, that is a FULL SIZE Stila Smudge Stick!!  In a very pretty purple color at that!  I have plenty of blacks, browns, and grays, so thank you Birchbox.


This would not be my first pick in a sample, but this moisturizer seems to be very ummm... moisturizing.  So, yeah, I guess it works ;)  I wish it were in a little larger size, though.




I wasn't thrilled when I found out I was getting a tiny jar of body butter because I am not a big fan of lotions, but this smells AH-MAZING!  I would definitely be interested in purchasing this product.


Here is a sample of Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy.  I think I am the only one who prefers the original scent, but I still like this sample.


This is the "extra" item that came in my box.  Quite disgusting if you ask me, but thanks for the thought!

 The entire box with the perfume and fruit bar wrapped up.


This is my box (sans magnet that I forgot to take a picture of because I immediately stuck it on my fridge).  It is just a small pink and white square of their logo.  Cute!
