Birchbox is one of the very first beauty boxes. 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.
Birchbox started shipping to Canada a few months ago and is different from the US site. For instance, we don't get that many perks or discounts, but they just recently offered an exclusive Birchbox x Mad Men-inspired Modern Retro Kit ($60).
Cost: $10/month + $4.95 Shipping. Annual subscription – $100 + Shipping.

I was so happy to see this exclusive floral print box by Rifle Paper Co.! I loved last month's box design too, but I didn't get one. I ended up getting the plain, brown box.
Mèreadesso All-In-One Moisturizer
Travel Size
This one-step formula is an anti-aging day/night cream that also functions as a makeup primer, serum, and eye cream, so it’s perfect for tossing in your carry on—with plenty of room to spare.
Normally I wouldn't be too pleased with receiving a foil sample, but this one has a plastic flip-up lid on the back that you can reclose - great idea!
Beaver Professional Hydro Nutritive Moisturizing Shampoo & Repairing Conditioner
$4.42/60 ml & $3.81/4o ml
This mild cleanser uses moisturizing avocado oil and aloe vera extracts to repair and rebuild hair, leaving it smoother, softer and shinier. The conditioner deeply nourishes and strengthens dry, frizzy, or damaged hair.
BeeKind Shower Gel
$2.38 / 1 oz
This richly foaming cleanser comes infused with nourishing honey, organic calendula and fresh lemon verbena scent.
I love getting shower gels and this one smells so good! I only wish it was a bigger size.
Jelly Pong Pong Glow Getter Highlighter
$12.75 - Full Size
An oil-free lightweight luminizing gel, enriched with micronized pearlescent pigments & orange blossom extract to highlight the face for a fresh, radiant complexion.
Birchbox is selling this for $16. Jelly Pong Pong sells it for $12.75, so I went with that price. I really like highlighters and luminizers, but this one seems a bit too dark for my skin tone. I'm not sure if I'll even keep it.
April's Birchbox has a value of around $23.36. I am happy with most of the products and I feel like Birchbox really match my preferences this month, so I'm good with this box. I absolutely love the box itself and will reuse it to store special items.
