Birchbox!

Do you love high end beauty products as much as I do?  Could you spend hours wandering around Sephora but can’t stand spending 20 bucks for a can of hairspray that you aren’t sure will actually really do anything different the 2 dollar Suave hair spray from CVS?  Do you long to have a collection of products that just scream ‘I love taking care of myself and I deserve the very best’?  Well turns out you can have it all without wasting money on products that really aren’t much better than their pharmacy counterparts.

There’s amazing little site called Birchbox.com.  Birchbox.com offers a service where you receive a monthly box with 4 to 5 deluxe sample size luxury beauty products for a measly 10 dollars(Come on you probably spent more on a cocktail!).  Deluxe is a great way to describe the size of samples.  I have been using the same .68 ounce bottle of Ahava Mineral hand cream for several months at work.  I have a fabulous “sample” of  Laura Gellar Bronzer that will last for at least 6 months.  Most of the products are only made for a couple time use, but usually there’s one that is good for many uses.  It’s also great to keep the products set aside and use them as travel products to make your upcoming vacation feel even more fabulous!

This gives you the opportunity to try out different products without shelling out the big bucks on products you’re not sure you will even like!  I have been receiving this monthly box for the last 5 months and I absolutely love it.  It feels like a special little gift every month with a surprising array of fun new things to try.  Other perks of the birchbox membership: 20% off your first purchase, free shipping on the full-size product orders over $50, and every time you’re buy a product or review a product your earn birchbox points to put towards future purchases!  I have already racked 10 bucks!

If you are a product queen and want to save a couple bucks I would absolutely recommend this service!
