What is it: Birchbox is a monthly subscription box that delivers 4-6 beauty samples to your door every month. There is a women's and men's box available. You also get points in their rewards program for reviewing items that you got in your box
Cost and shipping: $10 a month for those of you who live in America. There is also Birchbox France, UK, and Spain for those of you who live in those areas.
This month's theme for Birchbox was Freewheeling and it came with 6 samples and a special offer from Kate Spade Saturday. These are the samples that I got in my box this month!

| A look inside the box (already took out all the tissue paper and whatnot) |
Number 4 High Performance Hair Care: Shampoo (Sample size: 1oz. ~$4.00): This is pretty small and probably will only get one use out of it since I have a lot of hair. However, it does smell pretty good and it's volumizing too! I'm excited to use this, but I probably won't buy the full size product since it costs $34.
Number 4 High Performance Hair Care: Conditioner (Sample Size: .25oz. ~$1.00): I don't think this is enough conditioner for me to get even one use out of, which is quite disappointing. It is volumizing just like the shampoo and costs $36 for the full size product.
Whish Shaving Cream- Acai Grapefruit (Sample Size: .75oz. ~$2.00): I'm actually quite excited about this product! I always use shaving cream whenever I shave since soap just irritates my skin. I'm hoping this isn't irritating and will not give me as many shave bumps! It smells delightful and the full size product costs $20. However, I think I'll only get one use out of this.
CoTZ Face Natural Skin Tone SPF 40 (Sample Size: .07oz. ~$0.00-my opinion): I'm very disappointed with this sample. It is way to small and I don't think I'll even get a full use out of it. This sample is a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen in it that blends into your skin tone. Very, very disappointed in the size of this. The full size product costs $20.
Smarty Pants All-in-one Gummy Vitamins for Adults (2 gummies ~$0.33): I already tried these, if you guys couldn't tell, and they were quite delicious. I got a yellow and orange one to try. The yellow one left a weird after taste, and I gave my sister the other to try so I don't know if it had a weird aftertaste. The full size product is a 30 day supply and costs $30.
LAQA & Co. Sheer Lip Lube Pencil (FULL SIZE: $18.00): I like this pencil, but I wish it was in the pinky colors that they have. I'm probably not going to wear this that much since I'm not a HUGE fan of purple lips. It also feels weird on your lips (kind of like cold air is constantly blowing on your lips.) However, it is a full sized product and it has a minty smell that I enjoy (might explain the cold feeling.)
Here is the pencil swatched on my hand:
And lastly, we have the Kate Spade Saturday offer, which I will not show the code since I may use it. It is a code to get $25 off of a $75 purchase and is valid until July 1st.
The total value of my box (according to my calculations and opinions) is about $25.33.
Overall, I think this box was OKAY. I wish I got a different color in the Lip Lube Pencil and I wish that both the conditioner and tinted moisturizer (ESPECIALLY THE TINTED MOISTURIZER) were bigger sizes. I'm probably only going to get one use out of most of these products, which is to be expected with this box. However, I did cancel my subscription. These samples are just too small and I like getting more than one use out of products that I try out.
Do any of you subscribe to Birchbox? Which box did you get? Did you like it?
I hope you all have a great day!
Ciao,
Heather♥
