January Birchbox Review

After my December Birbox absolutely knocking it out of the park, I was super excited to see what fun products January had in-store. Unfortunately, I was a little let down by this month’s selections, but nonetheless, everything I chose is listed below.

Here’s a breakdown of what I received in my box:

1. Verb Volume Dry Texture Spray (full size – $20 Value)
2. Kinship Self Smooth 10% Glycolic Resurfacing Serum (6ml deluxe sample)
3. Revive Bath and Shower Oil (9ml travel sample)
4. Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant Mini in Pure Vanilla (sizing unsure)
5. Number 4 Blow Dry Lotion (1 oz deluxe sample)
6. Too Cool for School All-In-One Egg Mellow Cream (15 ml deluxe sample)

Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the selections from this month. I remember taking my customization survey and thinking, “surely there’s more!?” It seemed like every option was a tiny sample, which was such a departure from the previous month!

However…I LOVE Verb and am super excited to try the Verb Volume Dry Texture Spray.

And realistically, the value of that one product pays for the cost of the box so if my girl math is correct, everything else was basically free.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t really lessen my disappointment with this particular box, but it’s something worth noting!

Overall, the January 2025 Birchbox was probably my least favorite that I’ve received, but as a whole, I genuinely really have fun with this beauty subscription, so here’s hoping for better luck next month!

December Birchbox Review

This is my third Birchbox this season and probably my favorite so far! Being able to select the products for your own box is always a plus, but I felt like every category had at least one product that I was genuinely super excited to own/try!

Here’s a breakdown of what I received in my box:

1. Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Tea Tree Cooling Hydration Scalp Mask (full size – $34 value)
2. Lartizy Cream Lipstick in Dusty Rose (full size – $20 value)
3. Floss Beauty Highlighter in Sunset (full size – $20 value)
4. Dryspun Texture Spray (.6oz deluxe sample size)
5. Benefit Roller Lash Super Curling & Lifting Mascara (deluxe sample size)
6. Korres Santorini Grape Poreless Skin Cream (20ml sample size)

After being slightly underwhelmed by the November box, I was super excited about the product options for the December birchbox!

My personal favorites include the Briogeo Scalp Revival and the Lartizy cream lipstick!

Briogeo is already a brand I love and use and although I had never heard of Laritzy, I’ve already worn the lipstick multiple times. It’s the perfect nude and is so soft and comfy, it wears more like a balm!

I was also super excited to try the Benefit Roller Lash mascara because everyone loves it, but spoiler alert: After trying it out a couple of times, I don’t get the hype.

But I genuinely don’t think there’s a product in this box that I won’t use.

I was probably the least excited by the Korres skin cream, but it’s still a product that I can definitely use!

Overall, I was super impressed by the usability and quality of the products in this box.

And when you think about it in terms of value, one full-size product covers the entire cost of the box and then everything else you get is an added bonus!

In my opinion, Birchboxes customization makes this beauty subscription box worth it. You can choose the products you want, skip the ones you don’t, and hopefully end up with a box you love!

November Birchbox Review

One of the joys of this box is the ability to choose products that you’re genuinely curious to try out. Personally, I tend to gravitate toward makeup items and I love that I practically got a full face of makeup with this box.

Here’s a breakdown of what I received in my box:

1. GrandeBROW 2-in-1 Tinted Brow Gel (full size – $24 value)
2. Wander Beauty Upgraded Lashes Treatment Mascara (full size – $24 value)
3. Dr. Botanicals Regenerating Sleeping Mask (deluxe sample size)
4. Sunday Riley Good Genes Glycolic Acid Treatment (sample size)
5. Eyeko Black Magic Liquid Liner (deluxe sample size)
6. Manna Kadar Mineral Powders Duo (deluxe sample size)

When I was going through and choosing the selections for my box, I was slightly underwhelmed by the number of samples that were included. Seeing them in person definitely helps, because almost all of the “samples” seem almost full-size to me!

My personal favorites include the GrandeBROW brow gel (which I know I’ll use everyday!), the Dr. Botanicals face mask, and the Sunday Riley Good Genes treatment. A full-size of Good Genes retails for $85 so I love that I can try it out before committing to that price!

After swatching, I am least excited about the mineral powder duo.

In the pan, they look so pretty, but they just don’t have much pigmentation and the bronzer is definitely a bit light for me. I think it will make a great eyeshadow base though!

When it comes to these types of boxes, it’s easy to accumulate things in a drawer and never use them, but I definitely love that the products I chose are things that I’ll be able to use in my everyday routine.

In my opinion, the customization makes this beauty subscription box worth it! You can choose the products you want, skip the ones you don’t, and hopefully end up with a box you love!

October Birchbox Review

This was my first Birchbox in probably 7-8 years, so I really wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of how much it had changed or not.

Back in the day, Birchbox had always been a fun way for me to discover new brands and try new products without a big price commitment. However, I found that many of the products were quite small, weren’t items I necessarily would use, and ultimately, it wasn’t worth it for me to continue.

So when I learned that their process now allows you to select the 4-6 items you receive in your box, I was super excited to give it another try!

Here’s a breakdown of what I received in my box:

1. Living Proof Full Volume & Root Lifting Spray (full size – $32 value)
2. Floss The Concierge Cheek & Lip Tint (full size – $22 value)
3. Kindr Beauty Eyeshadow Cream (sample size)
4. Percy & Reed Strong Hold Hairspray (sample size)
5. Lise Waiter Base Illuminating Primer (sample size)
6. Colourpop Got Me Beaming Highlighter Palette (full size – $18 value)

Overall, I found this box to be super fun to open and the ability to now choose your own products makes it super practical! I was able to pick products that I know I will use or was just super curious to try.

And when you look at cost vs value, you’re basically getting back your cost with just one full-size item and the rest is just added value. That’s a total win, if you ask me!

While there were a few sample-size products included, the pot of eyeshadow cream definitely seems like a full-size amount to me and I love that the hairspray size will be perfect for travel.

Overall, the customization makes this beauty subscription box totally worth it, in my opinion! You can choose the products you want, skip the ones you don’t, and hopefully end up with a box you love!
