2ND JULY 2016 BIRCHBOX REVIEW 2ND JULY 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 simple! I couldn’t wait to dig in and see what all I received this month.


REVIEW OF ITEMS:

Balance Me Radiance Face Mask

Balance Me Radiance Face Mask

This is a sample size! I love face masks and have never tried this brand. It cleanses, exfoliates, and brightens skin. I can’t wait to try it!


Cargo Blush and Bronzer Duo

Cargo Blush and Bronzer Duo

This is a sample size. I have received SO many samples of this duo. It really isn’t my favorite because it doesn’t suit my skin tone. I will be giving this away.


Catherine Maladrino Style de Paris

Catherine Maladrino Style de Paris

This is a small sample! I hate perfume samples and I am not a fan of this scent. I received a travel size in a Boxycharm and wasn’t a fan. It is very strong. I will be giving this sample away.


Marcelle Xtension Plus Curl Mascara

Marcelle Xtension Plus Curl Mascara 

This is a sample size. I love trying new mascaras and I haven’t tried any mascara from this brand. I can’t wait to put it to the test.


MDSolarSciences Mineral Creme SPF 50 Broad Spectrum UVA-UVA Sunscreen

This is a sample size. I have loved everything I have tried from MDSolarSciences. Therefore, I am excited to this sunscreen. It is safe for acne and rosacea-prone skin. I can’t wait to try it.


OVERALL IMPRESSION:

This was definitely not my favorite Birchbox!  I really wasn’t a fan of most of the products included and the sizes were so small. This is probably one of the worst Birchboxes I have ever received. I am sure most of you have heard that Birchbox is making some drastic changes. I am not thrilled about the changes. I may end up cancelling both of my subscriptions. I will stay subscribed through August and see what happens. 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!
