While it is fun to get a box of products to try out each month, I do not think birchbox is worth the $10. The samples they give are so tiny they are usually single use and are foil packets. They mostly give out a lot of skincare andhair products with the occasional makeup product. If you are looking for a monthly suscription service I would reccomend Ipsy because it is $10 and you get more full sized products! Ipsy also gives out more makeup and you get a new cosmetic bag each month! It is really fun and I greatly enjoy it.

I've been subscribing to Birchbox for 6 months now. Ultimately, I would recommend it to a friend because it is fun to get the boxes each month and for only $10 per month I feel like it's worthwhile if only for the excitement of opening the surprise. I gave this subscription only 3 out of 5 stars because I have yet to be really knocked out by any of the products that they've sent me. A few seemed to totally contradict the profile I filled out when joining. For example a couple months ago I received a Curl Keeper product. I don't have curly hair. I went back and looked over my profile to make sure that I had answered a question about the type of hair I have and I had. Last month I received a Pixie lip color stick that I was really excited to try because I see the brand all the time. Unfortunately when I opened it, it was the most awful shade of pink. I can't imagine who this color would look good on. It certainly did not look good on me. I did find a shampoo and conditioner that I liked well enough but when I went to the Birchbox site to check out a full size bottle of each, the bottles were pretty expensive and the size wasn't all the large. I ended up ordering a 32oz bottle of each on Amazon for less than just one much smaller bottle on Birchbox. So my advice would be that if you subscribe for the samples, shop around before making a purchase.

I was pretty excited when i ordered this some time ago , but when i opened the box i was quite dissapointed. It was nothing that interested me , i clearly answered the questions they asked and they gave me the opposite of my askings. Nice wrapping though!

I used Birchbox for about a year. The first few months weren't too bad but it could have been because I was excited. But then I started to notice I kept getting perfume samples (not a heavy perfume person) So I adjusted my profile as they suggested and still kept getting them. I also kept getting anti aging products. At 27, I know I should be thinking about but do I need to see it in every box? Every box has small trials that make it very hard to tell if I would even like the product after using a dime size amount. In the end, not worth the $10 every month.
