What is Birchbox?

Birchbox is a monthly beauty subscription service that provides the subscriber four to five samples of makeup, skincare, or haircare products. Each month Birchbox sends their subscribers samples based on their preferences, so someone with oily skin won’t get a sample meant for someone who has dry skin. If subscribers like the samples they receive that month, they can go to the Birchbox website and purchase full size products for a discount with coupons given out through email.

How does it work?

On the Birchbox website, there’s a button that says subscribe and once clicked, it will bring up a panel where the subscriber can choose if they want to pay for a whole years worth of boxes, or just pay $10 a month for how ever many months they want. After subscribing, Birchbox has the new subscriber fill out a quiz so they know what products to send. They ask for information like hair color, eye color, skin type, skin complexion, etc.

When does the box come? Where is it delivered? 

Birchbox comes once a month for how ever long the subscriber signed up to receive beauty samples. The personalized sample box usually comes around the beginning to middle of each month. The great thing about Birchbox is that it’s delivered right to your mailbox, so beauty connoisseurs don’t have to go far to try new products.

Is it worth it?

The big question: is it worth it?

Bottom line: yes. If you’re someone looking for an easy way to try new beauty products before splurging on the full size item, then this is the subscription service for you. Birchbox sends makeup, perfume, haircare, skincare, and even nail and body products. It also gives you the opportunity to try products you maybe wouldn’t think about trying and all the samples come in cute little boxes.
