You know I love a sample! I can milk a tiny one from Sephora like no one’s business. So, when I heard about Birchbox I got really excited. Boxes of just samples sent to me every month for $10 (no extra shipping costs) plus a great bonus system towards full-size purchases – heck yeah!
My mom and I split the cost (she’s a sample freak like myself) and so far we’ve received 2 boxes.
Both boxes have contained about 4 generous samples (like Sephora’s deluxe samples) and a few extra small packet samples.
You answer a few questions when you sign up to personalize your boxes a bit as well.
I’ve been so excited to tear into everything that I haven’t taken any pictures of my own.
June’s box had a summertime theme with self-tanner towelettes (yeah, I’m gonna try them on my legs), full-sized bronzer, a refreshing organic spritz toner I’m loving, perfume, hair treatment and a small organic facial oil treatment that was divine. This blogger got the exact same things I got this month so check out her post!
I am in love with the argan oil enriched hair treatment by Amika. A bottle 10 times larger costs $34 but 2 tiny drops worked into damp hair completely transformed my dry ends without being greasy and I have really fine hair. (Sephora sells this as well and their website has reviews, which I love.)
A nice surprise was the full-size ($29.50) Laura Geller Baked blush-n-brighten in Honey Dipped. A little goes a long way and it’s just a wee bit glittery. My mom claimed this since she loves blush almost more than mascara.
I’ll try to do a full review of my July Birchbox with pics!

Oh you know I’m a sample milker too. I can’t find any Sephora’s here! I don’t think they ship to the UK either. Lucky lady.
Oh that’s such a bummer! You guys have Space NK! I love that site!
Loooooove Birchbox! I just started doing it last month and I’m super excited about the bronzer.
I really wasn’t expecting that bronzer! So stoked!
I’ve never really worn bronzer, so this gave me the PERFECT excuse to start playing around with it!
wow!! i’ve never heard of birchbox..definitely going to look into it. it sounds amazing!
I’ve never heard of this either, but I love samples! I may check this out…
No way! That is such a great idea! I love samples. I may have to try this. The only problem is, if I really like something then there’s just one more damn product to buy.
Ha! I know right! I ended up getting that hair treatment. It is seriously so freakin amazing I can’t imagine life without it. My mom and I got the full year up front so we got $10 off a future purchase. They also have free shipping on that month’s products. So I got it for $24.
