#brichbox

For the first time in my 30 years I have signed up for my first subscription box. Right before Christmas I was on Facebook and came a post from Birchbox offering their subscription box with a bonus box. I tagged my husband in the post with a “wink, wink” for him to order it for me. The things is I’m famous for leaving my debit card anywhere but where it goes.

Julio signed me up for the December B…

Two of the #girlboss founders of Birchbox, Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna, have saved us a ton of time and effort for our beauty needs. They are both mothers and so understand the value of time. Hayley is also a venture partner for First Round Capital where she helps other budding entrepreneurs realise their fledging dreams. So you will often see her with her healthy breakfasts as she deals with her fast-paced life.

So you will often see her with her healthy breakfasts as she deals with her fast-paced life.

Both of these women are natural beauties and use make-up to simply accentuate what they were already given. And that’s what wonderful about Birchbox. It doesn’t claim to be the next best thing in the make-up world. It simply works around you, especially if you are low-maintenance in terms of make-up and it thrives on experimentation. It wants you to be your own founder of your own make-up needs.

There are four pretty simple steps and this is how it works. Go online and fill out your profile. You will need to answer questions about your beauty preferences and your skin type, so that they know exactly what you like and what works best for you. Then you order your box, which will arrive monthly for $10 per month.

You will receive your custom beauty box in the mail with all your chosen beauty products. Don’t just take the company’s or our words for it; Birchbox has a lot of satisfied customers. From those who wanted a more natural look, to others who simply wanted a little ‘me’ pampering time with a face mask, Birchbox can cater to all.

But how does Birchbox make beauty easier? Each month, you will get five beauty treats inside your box and an information slip on all the beauty samples. This way you can discover new beauty favorites that work perfectly for you and find out a little more about each product. I love this part, because I like to know exactly what it is that I’m using on face or hair.

The Birchbox team also make it easier to buy products that suit you. Their Instagram page is filled with new products that they have added to their collection which might suit your type of hair or skin. You can often see Katia trying out face masks or eyeliners that might suit you.

The last Birchbox founder Mollie Chen could possibly be the reason why this business venture began.  She’s picky about what Birchbox has in their collection and she spends most of her days testing make-up products on herself and then taking it off!  This shows how passionate these women are about their brand – they do want it to suit their customer. Mollie’s also driven by what she puts in her body and how she treats it. Thus showing us that true beauty is something you can build, not buy. She’s also Hayley’s best friend. How amazing would it be to work with your best friend everyday and share make-up tips? #friendshipgoals

Once you have tried the taster products, you can buy the full size version of what you love with Birchbox. You will get free shipping on your order and $1 back in your loyalty points for every $10 you spend, so you can actually use your loyalty points to get a full size product.

Lastly, from your second box on, you can choose one sample from Birchbox’s choices for each month’s shipment. Once you have received and tried out your products, you can rate and review them so that Birchbox’s team and you can see and know what you like and what works the best for you. This is probably my favorite part, because if there’s a product that you’ve heard of, you can choose it as your sample. If you didn’t like a product, you never have see one like it again.

Having a box arrive each month that is exactly tailored to your beauty wants and needs is something I’m definitely wanting to get on board on. This is a really convenient product for all types of people; even those who aren’t into beauty. You can discover new products you have never heard of and can’t find anywhere else, but change your beauty life.

If you want a little custom help in the beauty department, Birchbox has got your back all the way from skincare to makeup and hair products. Sometimes you don’t even want to buy full size products, either because you know you don’t need that much or you just want to try out a product to see if it’s your kind of thing. Plus, if you like traveling, these little testers are perfect for your hand-luggage. Best part, it’s like having your birthday once a month.

Looking to celebrate your birthday somewhere luxurious with Birchbox helping you feel to feel amazing on your day? Try out London’s Calloh Callay which is one of Shoreditch’s greats. You will enjoy its lavish furniture and its inventive cocktails from bartenders who are really one of a kind.

Birchbox, November 2016

January 2015 Birchbox Review

Happy New Year! This month's theme is: Let’s Do This!

The Samples:

Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream ($38): I love this cream. You just dab a small amount right under your eyes every morning before you’re daily makeup routine and it makes all the difference! It’s moisturizing and it improves dark circles and wrinkles.

It’s a 10 Hair Miracle Leave-In Product Plus Keratin ($18.99): After trying this product, I fell in love with it! It smells great and it leaves my hair feeling refreshed! You just spritz some on right after you shower and then style as usual. This stuff is amazing!

Manna Kadar Lip Locked - All of You ($24): This is an all-in-one product: primer, stain, and gloss! The color is nice matte pink and it is filled with vitamins and berry extracts so it’ very moisturizing!

MyChelle Dermaceuticals Advanced Argan Oil ($14.50): This oil can be used on hair, face, and body. You only need a few drops in your hair to leave it feeling smooth and looking shiny. I’m not usually a fan of oils, but this one is okay.

TOCCA Crema de Mano - Cleopatra ($10-$20): This hand creme smells amazing and it does do a good job moisturizing; however, I have sensitive skin so the fragrance really dries out my arms which is where I usually rub the excess so if you have sensitive, itchy prone skin, I would not recommend it!

You can find all these products at the Birchbox Shop:https://www.birchbox.com/shop/

Lundi en revenant chez moi, je suis allée jeter un coup d’oeil sans espoir dans ma boîte aux lettres pour voir si j’avais reçu une de mes Birchbox et j’ai été agréablement surprise de voir mes 2 boîtes en même temps…

Et je n’ai pas pu résister, il a fallu que je poste un article sur tous les produits que j’ai reçu dans mes 2 boxes, mais je vous avais juste énoncé les produits, sans vous en parler…

La laca es uno de esos productos que tiene una (inmerecida) mala reputación. Nuestra generación, acostumbrada en los últimos años a las texturas en aceite y algún que otro protector del calor, tiende a equiparar laca con aquellos olores y efectos apelmazados de las “peluquerías de señoras ya mayores” a las que iban nuestras madres.

Como el champú seco o la espuma, otros productos…
