Birchbox Subscription Unboxing #1 – January 2016

 

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…

    Great [un] box!
    Tell me how that concealor works my HGs are MAC and some stick concealor that I got from Wantable that sells/sold at Barneys!
    That eyeliner looks great. Like great enough to be stuck in customs and shhhhhhhh snucked into random BBs for those that didn’t choose it as their sample choice (yes BB I read other peeps reviews and I take note of things like this from yours truly, jilted by eyeliner stucked in customs).
    I got that leave-in and it works I put it my flat iron pouch and that eyecream its good but the spf number rocks for an eyecream I have not seen one at high I think.
    Love the Whish body butters in all the scents except almond. Why? I used to love Almond scents until my husband (when he was in boyfriend or fiance status) ruined it by saying almond smells like cyanide. Random I know but I can never smell an almond the same ever since.

      I usually just use a ton of sunscreen and use eye cream at night if ever. I totally suck at using products. I did use up the last tube of this I got and it was sweet. Though I forgot to take a pic of the empty and therefore failed.

    I love Whish body butter, Supergoop eye cream (I agree with the previous comment that it’s hard to find an SPF that high for eye cream), and would be thrilled to try a new concealer; it’s not something that’s in subscription boxes very often, but something that I use every day. And I’ve heard the eyeliner is awesome; still waiting to get my box. Sorry you aren’t more excited for what’s in yours 🙁

      awww no, it is just that I get three Birchbox’s and got two of these. The concealer is something I got in Ipsy last month. I guess I just am more stoked about the box I got last month because everything was so different but you are totally right, the items are useful and at the end of the day, using stuff is the most exciting thing!!! Hope you get your box soon!!!!!

        Subdicted =D Haha, I had no idea you had several BB subs!!

        I haven’t received any boxes yet this month. Though I can’t remember when any of them ship. Popsugar looks like the 20th, Owlcrate maybe today, ArtCrate I’ll get my survey tonight, and BB I’ve heard nothing. I’ve had a tracking number for over a week and it still doesn’t work. Oohh just looked at it on USPS and it’s in Kentucky.

          I know. I call it the mid-month blues…

        • January 16, 2016 at 1:40 pm

          Will it ever make it’s way to you?

          • January 16, 2016 at 1:44 pm

            >>throws self on the ground in a dramatic faint<< Never, it seems... I bet my aging, male, Asian mailman with thinning hair is searching my box for products to volumize his hair.

    It looks like a decent box. I hear you on the mid-month blues. Boxes should be rolling in soon.

    • January 16, 2016 at 1:46 pm

      Yeah it was good. But not as good as last month. I always feel pretty good when boxes don’t show up at my door because it lets me try to catch up. Key word try!

    What the what? I just looked at BB again to see when the heck my box was coming and it looks like they updated their tracking page area, but it said “YOUR SHIPMENT IS READY TO GO! 6 to 9 days away” and I almost threw my cat off my lap in disgust. Just kidding, she’s on my stomach because she doesn’t know how to be a real cat. Anyway, I looked up the tracking number and it’s out for delivery now. YAY! But, clearly a glitch in their system. Or they’re sending me two boxes again, which was awesome because I got to send one to my mom to try.
