A big thank you is definitely in order to my lovely friend, Ashley; last week she introduced me to the wonder that is Birchbox.  If you haven’t already heard of this fantastic website/concept, prepare to be amazed my friends.

So, regardless of whether you sign up for a yearly subscription or monthly subscription, you receive one box packed with a handful of deluxe beauty samples each and every month (free shipping)!  Ranging from skin care to make up to fragrance (and everything in between), Birchbox subscribers get to test out a huge variety of coveted products.

Birchbox gives you the flexibility of signing up for a monthly subscription ($10 billed automatically each month) or a yearly subscription ($110 for 12 months, one month free!).

Best part is, Birchbox has quite the long list of associated brands: Bare Escentuals, Benefit, Kate Spade, NARS, and Smashbox, just to name a few.  In fact, you can even gift Birchbox!  Now that they offer products for men, everyone can enjoy Birchbox.  This might be handy to know come time for last minute Christmas shopping.

Besides gifting Birchbox subscriptions, you can also give gift cards which allows your friends and families to choose & order their own full sized products online! Nifty, right?

I, myself, just became a member of Birchbox and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my first box.  Don’t worry, I’ll update you all when I receive my first handful of beauty samples!

Can’t wait to receive my first fully packed Birchbox in the mail!

Readers, are you convinced?  Will you sign up for Birchbox?
