Birchbox cost’s $10 a month but if you review your items then you get a credit of 10 points for each one which is $1 to use in the store. Points can only be spent in increments of $10. Which take no time to get. They have the best point system out of any box I have tried!
Birchbox is the “Gateway” box that will lead you down a road I have yet to make my way back from. Perhaps in that forest of boxes you and I will meet and discuss bronzer while spraying various products all over our hair. The murmurs around us will lead us to our next “Holy Grail” beauty item…

Looks so Holiday!
(Mailin + Goetz) – Clarifying Clay Mask
Benefit Cosmetics – They’re Real! Tinted Primer
Coastal Scents – styleEYES Eyeshadow Palette

Verdict: This is one of my most favorite boxes, I like all of the products and it will be fun to try new things!!!

I looked at your box and thought that the most fun anyone could have with the box would be the girl in the Benefit card. I’m glad you love your box.
Bahaha, SubBella, I was thinking Subista was the winner of best BB, but I think the Benefit chick wins. You’re right!
Yeah that chick is totally winning… unless you take into account that she probably doesn’t have a cat sitting on her pillow like I do right now… wait… she totally is winning.
I mean, tying up a man isn’t as much fun as waking up at 2 am to realize you’re laying in a pile of kitty litter and you have to brush off the WHOLE bed and basically just burn the sheets. /facepalm
I agree with this statement!
Yes I was thinking that my vote would either goto Subista or the curated box but if whoever adds the Benefit chick to the voting poll … well then the Benefit chick would win lol.
I’m voting for the Benefit Chick!
Yeah she is my vote as well!
She wins at life lol
HAHA Yeah, I am totes wondering how I can get into that kind of fun and something tells me it doesn’t really matter what mascara I use…
I got three of the same things. The benefit, style eyes, and malin+ Goetz.
Then I got Catherine Malandrino Romance de Provence – LOOK A PERFUME THAT IS NOT HARVEY PRINCE!!!!!!
and Darphin INTRAL Redness Relief Soothing Serum (which I am allergic too)
Sad box for me, the only thing I am not allergic to is the perfume. Last month was a good box though.
Oh nice Shana! I love the Malin + Goetz stuff. I actually found my favorite perfume from BB! I’m wearing it now–perhaps you’ve gotten Atelier Cologne Vanille Intense? It shows up a lot and I love it ♡♡♡♡♡ Makes me feel like a sexy French lady!
When I want to feel like a sexy Parisian I just find some Americans to be rude to. Works. Every. Time.
Subista I am cracking up. That is hilarious!
Once when I was in Paris I went to McDonald’s because I am trash, and the dude tried to wrench the to go bag FROM me AFTER I had paid because I checked to make sure he put the BBQ sauce in it. Only from my cold dead hands will anyone wrench my french fries from me… Though it did clue me in to the treat of a time I was about to embark on!
I also take my McD’s French Fries very seriously as well. Nom.
Right?!? I just wanted some BBQ sauce is all. I mean if I am going to go full on American trash I might as well do it up!
Ooo the atelier colonge orange is my fav! I bought the full bottle. I just used up like a years worth of points to buy the 6 pack sample roller ball collection from them too. I can’t wait to try the Vanille intense since it is your fav!!
Yes do. My sister in law fell in love with my Vanille perfume but it’s spendy and the place she found it from sent it with the orange and neither of us were too crazy about it. Especially bc it was in a twist off bottle. But it’s kind of grown on me 🙂
I bought a full-size bottle of Vanille Intense after receiving it as a BB sample. I love it!
Shana I love the use of ALLCAPS in your commentary!
I love your box Subista except the CS palette but we all got one :/
You don’t like the CS? Was it crap? I haven’t tried it yet.
You want mine? I am a MAC snob but that can translate to me having a whole lot of MAC eyeshadows to venture out elsewhere. The MAC may attack. MAC eyeshadow is territorial.
Oh and to answer your question reviews are mixed. I did play a little bit with the mini quad I received in BB awhile back when my MAC eyeshadows were not looking. The pigment was not as great but I did like the application. The mini quad went to a Sephora Rouge friend who liked it.
Pnut, I bought my first MAC eyeshadow today (haven’t tried it yet) but I’ll have to keep my eye on it (err… keep it on my eye?) in case it gets aggressive with my other shadows. Thanks for the warning.
Haha, Heat I’m imagining you trying to stare at their eyelid while it has eyeshadow on it. Hehee.
I would always get MAC to do my make up for events and walk out looking like a totally different person!
I can’t believe you didn’t get HP. I almost feel like I should send you a vial of HP so that the world doesn’t tip off its axis!!!!
Uhhh the serum sounds really… interesting? … wait… I thought you wrote Intrail!
LOL, yeah the name on that serum is a double take in action… It is a whole 2mls!!! Don’t splurge it all on one use…. I actually got Harvey Prince in Ipsy once too, but at least there it was a real bottle.
I had to look up what the amount 2mls is hahaha Then I was like OHHH VERY SMALL!!!! I get Harvey Price soooo much!
So I should have mentioned that I don’t get my Birchbox until like the 6-7th of the next month. Dang ground shipping!
Argh! Does it goto Oahu first? And does this weird thing like go somewhere 30 minutes from you then bounces somewhere 4 hours from you before it heads to your post office?
It sucks to get everything late. I have no room to complain to you. But in San Diego it takes forever to get mail. I have no idea why. Everyone in places like LA and SF get their stuff way before me. SD? Put it on the slow train!
