2ND AUGUST 2016 BIRCHBOX REVIEW 2ND AUGUST 2016 BIRCHBOX REVIEW card

I have two Birchbox accounts. I have signed up on two different emails. I love Birchbox! It is one of the oldest subscription boxes out there. The boxes are so cute and they come with awesome brands. I have discovered many favorite brands through this service. Every month they allow you to pick one of your samples or opt for the guest editor / featured box. This is the review of the regular Birchbox!

Cost: $10.00/month

Ships: To US, France, Canada, Spain, and the United Kingdom


FIRST IMPRESSION:

The box print is so cute! I love it! I couldn’t wait to dig in and see what all I received this month.


REVIEW OF ITEMS:

Avene Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Make-Up Remover

Avene Micellar Lotion Cleanser and Make-Up Remover

This is a sample size! I have the FULL SIZE of this product. It is an okay micellar water. It stings my eyes a bit which I am not a fan of. However, it does remove my makeup. I will probably give this sample away.


Beauty Protector Protect & Oil

Beauty Protector Protect & Oil

This is a sample size. I can’t remember if I tried this sample yet. I really love Beauty Protector so I will definitely try this oil. I love hair oils.


R+CO Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste

R+CO Badlands Dry Shampoo Paste

This is a sample size. I really wanted to try this dry shampoo paste because I haven’t heard of anything like it. I love dry shampoos and was so curious about how the paste works. I can’t wait to test it.


Manna Kadar Cosmetics The Day Dream Palette

Manna Kadar Cosmetics The Day Dream Palette 

This is a sample size of the eyeshadow in Fantasy. It is actually a very large sample. The color is stunning and could also be used as a highlight. It is very pigmented and I can’t wait to create looks using it.


REN Flash Hydro-Boost Instant Plumping Emulsion

REN Flash Hydro-Boost Instant Plumping Emulsion

This is a sample size. It is an emulsifying moisturizer that reduces fine lines and plumps skin. I can’t wait to try it! It sounds awesome!


OVERALL IMPRESSION:

This was another great Birchbox!  It was so much better than last month’s box. I will use most of the samples included this month. I am really excited about the eyeshadow, oil, dry shampoo, and emulsion. I hope their boxes continue to improve. I have cancelled one of my subscriptions so I will only be reviewing one box a month. They have changed their point system which is the main reason why I loved Birchbox so much (see image below). I hope they start including FULL SIZED products now to compensate. If they do, I will stay subscribed. What did you receive in your Birchbox? Are you going to stay subscribed with the new changes? What do you think about them? Let me know in the comments below!
