Birchbox Review-March 2013

Birchbox Review-March 2013

Birchbox is a monthly subscription box featuring mainly makeup, skin care and hair care products.  Every month, you'll receive a box filled with 4-5 beauty, grooming, and lifestyle samples from both up-and-coming and well known brands.  It is one of the most affordable boxes at only $10.00 a month.  The best part about Birchbox is the Birchbox point system.  You receive 1 point for each dollar spent on full-size products in the Birchbox Shop. You can also invite friends to join Birchbox with your unique friend referral link. And finally, you'll also receive 10 points for every sample review you complete.  For every 100 points you earn, you get $10 off a full-size product order. 

The March box was intended to help us spring forward and maximize our daily routine.

Here is the box:

First look:

What I received in my box:

Havvn Night Cream (full size retails for $30)

This is an all natural, science backed hydrator and is supposed to visibly reduces wrinkles and revives dull skin.  I love trying a new night cream and this is a decent sized sample.

Illume Go Be Lovely Lavish Hand Cream (full size retails for $20)

This hand cream is a paraben-free hydrator full of plant oils and butters.  This sample is very small and will likely only be good for a one time use.

Michael Todd Pumpkin Nutrient Rich Facial Mask (full size retails for $34)

This is an intensive treatment that exfoliates and cleans with real pumpkin.  I am the most excited about this product.  I have heard rave reviews from some of my favorite youtubers about this line.  I tried this out immediately!  The scent is very pumpkiny (not a word, I know), and it left my face feeling fresh and clean without drying.  I love this product.

POP Beauty Aqua Lacquer (full size retails for $14)

This is a sheer gloss that plumps and hydrates with jojoba oil.  The color looked very bright in the tube, but when I applied the product it went on more sheer and was beautiful.  It is a sticky gloss and the bottle has a very cool applicator.  

Beauty Extra: Benefit Cosmetics Big Easy (full size retails for $38)

This is a self-adjusting formula that makes complexion perfection easy.  This product is incredibly creamy and went on as smooth as butter.  I wish  the sample was a little bigger so that I could have tried it more than once. 

Treat from Ghirardelli: Cherry Tango Square

This was absolutely positively delicious.  I could eat one of these every single day.  Dark chocolate, almonds and cherry.

Overall this box was a win for me!  It was well worth the $10.00 for the Michael Todd pumpkin mask. What did you get in  your Birchbox?
