Birchbox January 2013

Here are the goodies I received in my January Birchbox.

Birchbox is a monthly beauty sample service that allows you to try samples of high end products for a low cost.  There are usually 5 samples in each box and the boxes cost $10 per month.  You can review the products on Birchbox's website and receive 10 points for each review.  10 points = $1.  You can them redeem your points (in 100 point/$10 increments) for full sized products.  You can also refer friends and receive 50 points at Birchbox (my referral code) if they subscribe.

First up is the MyTM Multi-Purpose Mattifying Moisturizer. I really did like this product.  Only a small amount was needed and it was very moisturizing and not at all oily.  I will probably not be purchasing the full size though, because it is $68!


The Alessandro Cream Rich is a fantastic lotion.  It really worked well on my super dry hands, and again wasn't oily.  Full size is $30, so possible repurchase on this item.


Next up is a sample of Harvey Prince Ageless Pink Grapefruit perfume.  For some reason I recycled the package before I took the photos...  I LOVED this scent and think it would be wonderful for spring/summer.   Very light and citrusy.  Full size is $98, so it would be a luxury.


The cosmetic item this month was mascara from Lash M.  They (many times) will have a full sized product in the boxes, but apparently not this month.  This sample size was so ridiculously tiny, that it was almost impossible to use without jabbing myself in the eye.  The product itself was average.  It gave some length, but not really much else.  Fill size is $19.99.


Last up were a couple foil packet (I hate foil packets) from Kerastase Masque Chroma Riche Treat.  They are a hair mask. I haven't used these yet.  Full size is $68, so again, pretty expensive.


Check out my unboxing!


I would love to hear what you received in your Birchbox!
