Birchbox Canada is one of the latest US subscription boxes that has started shipping to Canada. Every month, Birchbox subscribers will receive a curated box of 5 beauty, grooming, and/or lifestyle samples. Fill out your beauty profile right 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 + $4.95 Shipping. Annual subscription – $100 + Shipping.
Birchbox not only ships to the US and Canada, but also France, Spain and the UK. Birchbox Canada isn't the same as the US Birchbox. We don't get all the perks that they do, not yet anyways, but so far I am really liking Birchbox and the rewards points system is very good I have to say!
I love the January themed box! "2015. Let's Do This."
These samples are going to help you start the year feeling and looking awesome.
Beauty Protector Protect & Treat Hair Mask
$7.50 / 1 oz
I received the Protect & Detangle from this brand in last month's box and it I love the smell. I don't mind getting another product from the same brand. This hair mask has argan oil, honey, amber, and crushed pearls and will revive strands and preserve their youthful texture and shine. It works on all hair types and is cruelty-free.
Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré (24-Hour Miracle Cream)
$1.87 / 5 ml
This sample is a little too small to be acceptable, so it gets a thumbs down, but I do like that it can be used for many things. You can use it as a moisturizer, makeup remover, post-shave soother, and all-over body lotion.
Harvey Prince Hello Liquid Loofah
$1?
Another brand that I received last month, but I always like getting shower gels, so no complaints about that. I'll probably only get 2 uses out of it, I do wish it was a bigger too.
Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream
$3.23 / 22 ml
Made with eco-friendly ingredients, the non-drying formula gives you a mighty close shave without leaving legs devoid of moisture. And, unlike its distant peers, it’s designed not to foam up: instead, the rich lotion is chock full of organic and natural botanicals that soften skin.
Model Co. Party Proof Lipstick (Dusk Till Dawn)
$7.67
Probably my favourite item in the box! I am very happy with the shade I got and it's a deluxe size. It's a deep nude with beige undertones. I like wearing colours like this in the winter.
My estimated value for January's Birchbox is $21.27. It's a fair value, but certainly not what I'm used to with most other beauty boxes. For the most part I'm happy with the box, but I'm so used to getting bigger size samples that it's a little hard to swallow getting smaller sizes, but that's just me (Memebox totally spoiled me with full size products!).
What do you think of Birchbox?
