I decided to sign up for a Birchbox subscription box. It's only $10 a month and this month's box came with 5 products. This will be my last Birch Box though because I'm just not liking the products. I'm either giving them away to my daughter or it sits in my cabinet because it's not something I'd use. But my daughter likes the boxes so she's gonna start getting them.
This month I received:
Avene Hydrance Intense Rehydrating Serum
Embryolisse 24 hour miracle cream
Eyeko black liquid eyeliner
Lipstick Queen Lip Liner
QUAI Rose hair and body oil
The two samples or the face serum and cream I already used because the sample bottles were very small and there really wasn't enough in them to see if either of the products did anything for my face.
I'll use the eyeliner but the lip liner is not my color and the rose body oil smells good but I don't like putting oil on my skin because I feel like I need another shower. I wasn't really pleased with this box and it was the last straw for me, so this is my last box from them. Hey, at least this box didn't contain yet another dry shampoo. lol
I love watching the Birch Box unboxing videos on YouTube. Always fun to see the girls' reactions to what they have in the boxes. Birch Box seems to be quite hit or miss.
ReplyDeleteI just don't use most of the products in these boxes so miss for me.
Deleteit's always complicated with colors ou don't choose
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteALways fun :)
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI finally did an Ipsy bag and have had so much fun with it. I thought about this one but most of the brands I saw were ones I wasn't that familiar with so I shied away from it. I might have to try it though, it looks fun. It is a crap shoot though when you get colors you don't like or don't even go with your complexion.
ReplyDeleteI thought about Ipsy maybe.
DeleteI'll take the lipliner and hydrating cream thank you very much:)
ReplyDeletelol You'll have to fight my daughter for it.
DeleteHaven't tried subscribing into one really, but in the future if I decided, I'll go for food subscription box or maybe Japanese treats hehe
ReplyDeleteI don't put makeup excluding lipstick so I guess I'll take the lipliner, hehe ;)

I did a japanese treats box a few years ago and gave it to my daughter and son in law as an add on gift for Christmas since they love that kind of stuff.
DeleteSure sounds like a meh one as now you give it the heave ho.
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteWhen they first started doing this years ago, the products were more varied, and there seemed to be a lot more. I would have loved the liner though. Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to try.
DeleteCheck out the past few BoxyCharm boxes and see if you like it! I loveeeeeeeeee mine, though it is $21/month I think
ReplyDeleteI'll look into that.
DeleteI've always wondered about the liquid eyeliner. I feel as though I'd make a mess of it with unsteady hands.
ReplyDeleteI can use it but I like the solid eyeliners better.
DeleteSorry you didn't like the box. At least your daughter will enjoy it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh she will, she loves it.
DeleteCan't say that I blame you. It can be the coolest thing in the world, but if you don't use it why get it. :)
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteGreat post my dear, making me want ALL THE THINGS, haha... ;-) - http://www.domesticgeekgirl.com
ReplyDeletelol thanks.
DeleteThey seem to have different box that comes to your home. Right now my hubby and I are doing blue apron.
ReplyDeleteIt's fun but I don't do it on reg base...coffee is on
I haven't done that one.
DeleteI’ m also a member of Birch Box but since i don’t wear makeup and my hair is a bit complicated I end up giving away most my goodies, which makes me a very popular girl amongst my friends. I’m super excited about the Avene Hydrance Serum and the 24 hour miracle cream, and the QUAI Rose hair and body oil.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter was loving all the thing I was giving her.
DeleteOh sorry you didn’t like the products. I have sensitive skin. It’s tricky to try other products. 😁
ReplyDeleteOh I imagine it is.
DeleteI got the IPSY bag for a while, but there just wasn't enough of a wow factor (or any, really,) that made me want to keep getting it. I just loved getting fun mail. LOL I finally let it go.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. I love getting the mail but the products are great enough to keep me paying for it.
DeleteI imagine these boxes are probably for people who are really into beauty products, like beauty bloggers and such. If the products are just sitting around, best to cancel and maybe find a different subscription box you'll actually use.
ReplyDeleteI like the Target and Walmart beauty boxes.
