Handpicked beauty samples delivered to your door every month-welcome to a beauty lover's paradise!
We fell head over heels for Birchbox the very second we learned about this brand new beauty concept. And who can blame us? It's one of the freshest ideas around and the perfect way to get a quick beauty fix without having to leave the house.
So what's it all about? For just $10 a month, Birchbox sends members of its site a selection of deluxe sample-size beauty products from labels, such as Laura Mercier, Benefit and Kiehls, to try out. Once you find a product you can't live without, you have the option to go directly to the Birchbox website and purchase the full-sized versions. What's more, the website provides a slew of tips, tricks and insider advice on how to apply makeup, re-create the latest trends and get the most from the products that land in your mailbox.Our very first Birchbox arrived one rainy afternoon, providing the perfect distraction to the gloomy weather. Birchbox had us from "hello;" The packaging was amazing—a cute brown box filled with pink tissue paper to protect our goodies and topped off with a chic black ribbon.
Carefully wrapped within the adorable package, we found: lipgloss by Laura Mercier (in a flattering neutral shade), Cold Plasma cream by Perricone MD and nail remover wipes by Deborah Lippmann, to name just a few of the pint size samples. Perhaps best of all, each of the samples was a product we'd not had a chance to try before, and we had a (rainy) field day putting them to the test.
Whether you're a beauty junkie looking to expand your collection or a beauty novice searching for some for some tried-and-trusted staples, Birchbox is your one-stop shop. Trust us, it's addictive sampling...and shopping.
