Birchbox is one of the very first beauty subscription boxes. Every month, Birchbox subscribers will receive a curated box of 5 beauty, grooming, and/or lifestyle samples. Fill out your beauty profile after you sign up, so your first box will be tailored to your preferences (i.e., hair type, skin tone, etc). You can shop your box on your profile page, get free shipping on that month’s sampled brands, and review your products for points—you’ll earn 10 Birchbox Points for each submitted feedback form.
Cost: $10/month (CDN) + $4.95 Shipping. Annual subscription – $100 + Shipping.
St. Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan
$7.40/1.6 oz
This is a self-tanner that you use in the shower! Just apply onto wet skin and wash off 3 minutes later. I've only used it once and didn't see any tanning action, but it's buildable so after a couple more applications I should see a difference. I like this method much better that tanning creams that are greasy, have an odour, and take a while to absorb into your skin.
Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel
$5.80/0.17 oz
This acid-free peel gently sloughs away dead skin cells, evening tone and smoothing rough patches without irritating sensitive skin.
Number 4 Blow Dry Lotion
$7.20/30 ml
Part thermal protector and part leave-in treatment, it’s packed with natural botanicals to keep your strands healthy and smooth. Plus, it has a luxurious scent of citrus and cool marine notes over base notes of musk and amber.
LAQA & Co. Cheeky Lip (Humble Brag)
$8.67
This creamy crayon delivers a rich, easy-to-apply colour for both lips and cheeks.
Key West Aloe Save a Tan
$2.67/1 oz
Made with 80 percent aloe vera, and an irresistible coconut and key lime scent, it seals in moisture to preserve your tan and prevent flaking or fading.
This month's Birchbox has a total value of $31.74. I'm very happy with all the products I received and the value is good too! Each product I received is perfect for summer and they did a great job customizing my box! If you're not familiar with Birchbox, they have a very good points system where you can get $5 in Birchbox points just for reviewing your monthly samples.
