So I have a question for you guys...have you heard about Birchbox?? Well maybe you have, but if not, let me just tell you! Birchbox is a company that was launched in September 2010 from New York City, by two female Harvard Business School graduates. They offer a variety of things on their website, but their main goal is to provide a monthly box in-the-mail full of samples of beauty & lifestyle products. For $10/month, you will receive this monthly box with a handful of samples from high-end brands, such as:
When you sign up, you fill out a profile, which helps Birchbox customize your box, although some samples, that work for a wide range, are sent to everyone. The website also offers:
- a SHOP complete with full-sizes of all the products they offer in the monthly boxes (if you have a monthly subscription, you earn 1 point for every $1 spent, so 100 pts = $10, that you can redeem and save on future purchases in the SHOP)
- Within their shop, they even offer a few Limited Edition boxes that you can purchase: Here Comes the Bride (complete with roll-up ballet flats, vitamin energy tablets and custom stationary thank-you cards) & Gorgeous on the Go (complete with make-up bag, lip gloss and roll-up ballet flats) - check them out!
- Detailed info. on products - "How to Use" or "How It Works"
- Blog, Magazine, expert tips and lots of how-to videos
What's even more exciting is that this month Birchbox started offering monthly subscriptions for Men!
You can also gift Birchboxes, which I did for my sister at Christmas, and she loves it!!
*SO HOW DO YOU SIGN UP YOU ASK?!*
Well, it seems as though Birchbox has just continued to get more & more popular this past year, so unfortunately, you don't automatically begin your subscription right when you sign up. But when you sign up, you basically reserve your place in line and they let you know when it's your turn to start your subscription. But DON'T WORRY, invitations are sent out reguarly, at least according to their website!
So what are you waiting for?! You can click here to sign up, and help me earn points by referring you! And just to give you a better idea of the things you might receive, here are a few pictures of my Birchboxes...I've had a subscription since January and I absolutely love my monthly surprise of beauty goodies!!
And if the products aren't enough, their packaging is so well-done & they include little cards to describe each item included. I'm telling you, sign up NOW and you won't regret it. Plus it's only $10 a month!
If you have any other questions about it, check out their FAQ page or leave me a question in the comments! :)
