Birchbox October 2015 Review

What's in

the box?

Birchbox is a sample monthly subscription kit for $10 a month.   The real value in this sub is the online store and the points you earn every month.  You can turn these points into money in the BB store.  

The box this month was decorated for October Breast Cancer Awareness and it is beautiful.  I love this gorgeous, marble pink.  

Stila Huge mascara -   I have wanted to try this mascara for awhile - it was my choice of the month from the 5 mascaras we could choose.  I am loving how this feels on my lashes. 

Klorane Dry Shampoo -   I have received this dry shampoo in many boxes and it really is not my favorite.  I will be passing it along to my BB swap buddy! (Hi, Swap Buddy!) 

Dr Jart Ceramidin Cream -     This is a lightweight cream to moisturize the skin.  I love the moisturizer I already use so this too will go to my Swap Buddy.

Bio Republic Aloe Rescue Mask -  I have gotten this mask several times in boxes over the last year so it too will be passed on to my Swap Buddy.  

Number 4 Lumiere dhiver Fluoro5 Elixir Restore & Repair -  This is a hair oil - I love hair oils so I cannot wait to see if this lives up to the Number 4 reputation.  

I would say this was not the perfect box for me since I am swapping out 3 of the 5 items.  I do love the two that I am keeping, however, so that is a nice trade off.  I also get to review the items (most of which I have already tried) to earn more points for spending in the online store.  I really do not know how people save them up because I usually cave at $20 worth.  Do you get Birchbox?  Join here.   If you do, did you get some great samples this month?

Purchased.  All opinions are my own and no compensation was received.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

Birchbox is a monthly subscription box that is only $10 a month.  If you do a review on the items in the box, you can earn points to spend in their store.  100 points = $10 to spend - every review earns you 10 points.  I like to save up my points to get something from the store I would not spend the money on normally.

They gave a choice this month of choosing between three makeup items or the Everygirl box, where you know the 5 items that will be in the box.  Since I was not interested in the the 3 makeup choices, I chose the Everygirl box. 

The first glance:

Acure Brightening Facial Scrub  - This is actually what I was most excited about in this box - this contains no parabens. sulfates and parabens and since I started selling Perfectly Posh, that is more important to me now.  I want to stay away from those chemicals.  This is a very nice size sample, too, for face wash.

Not Soap Radio -  This soap smells amazing!  Lemony fresh!  And also Paraben free!  I do like the size sample this time too!  Usually there is a small sample when it is shower gel!  This will last a few times.

 Benefit They're Real Push-Up Liner -  I have wanted to try this since it came out!  It is a very small sample though!  Benefit has teeny tiny samples!  And the full size of anything costs about $30.  I wish they would lower their prices. 

Hello! Harvey Prince - I usually do not like getting samples of perfume because they are usually overly flowery and bother my asthma.  This one is fantastic!  I love this perfume!  There is a hint of floral but it is fresh smelling with a hint of lemon and grapefruit. 

 Number 4 Prep & Protect -  I received this in my mystery free pack when I ordered products from the store last month.  I love how it makes my hair feel!  You put into your wet hair after a shower and come it through and leave it in.  My hair felt so soft. 

This was my favorite box bar none!  I loved every product and am very happy Birchbox gave me this choice this month!  Keep it up, Birchbox!  You have a loyal customer here.
