February 2016 Featured “” Birchbox Review

By Elisabeth @onecutedoc

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. On one of my accounts I opted for the featured box. The February featured box was called "Date Night" and was filled with products for a special date night. This box usually ships faster as well.

Cost: $10.00/month

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

Bonus: Use Code SUBSCRIBENOW50 to get 50 Birchbox points ($5) to spend in the shop!

FIRST IMPRESSION:

I loved this theme for February. I couldn't wait to dig in and see what all was inside!

REVIEW OF ITEMS:

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Strumpet

This is a sample size! These lip tars are beyond pigmented. The tiniest little drop goes a very long way. I really love this color and can't wait to try it on my lips.

Cynthia Rowley Beauty Brightening Illuminator

This is very small sample! I love highlighters and this one is gorgeous. It give a subtle sheen and you don't need very much. I can't wait to use it on my face.

Whish Renewing Mud Mask

This is a sample size! I love masks and I love Whish. You only have to leave this mask on for two minutes. Therefore, it is the perfect on the go mask. I can't wait to try it!

Amika Bombshell Blowout Spray

This is a sample size! I love Amika's packaging. I can't wait to try this spray the next time I blow dry my hair.

Catherine Malandrino Romance de Provence

This is a very small sample. I am not really a fan of perfume samples. This one really does smell amazing and would be great for a date night. It is a very sexy scent.

OVERALL IMPRESSION:

This was a pretty good box. However, it wasn't my favorite featured box. I will still try every single product included though. Birchbox is an awesome subscription at only $10/month. I discover so many awesome products through Birchbox. There were 5 products to review so that is essentially $5 to spend in the Birchbox shop. I love that Birchbox has an amazing point system. For every sample you review, you earn 10 points. Once you reach 100 points, you can redeem them for $10 to spend in the Birchbox shop. Therefore, this box was really only $5 if I review every product. I will continue subscribing to Birchbox. What did you receive in your Birchbox? What do you think of this month's featured box?
