those interested in makeup...

reading one of my favorite blogs this morning (TomandCourt, you probably read it, too) and she mentions www.Birchbox.com - for $10/month, you get a box every month with sample sizes of various cosmetics. May be worth a few months to see what it's like, if you've got the $10 to spare?

Re: those interested in makeup...

  • This is my second month as a Birchbox member. Last month, I was quite underwhelmed. Hoping that the October delivery (which I think will arrive today/tomorrow) is a bit better!
  • good to know -- and do report back! at $10, it seems like a good deal but as you note -- if the products aren't worthy... that's $10 I can use somewhere else.

    I'm in the same boat- I joined and was super excited, but it ended up being disappointed in the box.  That said, I think the September box was unusually sparse based on the previous boxes I've seen, so I'm giving it a month or 2 before I quit.

  • ok, I think I'm willing to waste $10 a month for a couple months to check this out.

    Do you normally get actual makeup or is it just cleansers and moisturizers and perfume?

    There are a bunch of bloggers who log their birchboxes every month, so you can see what variety of things people get.

    Last month the only makeup item I got was a trial sized mascara, but other months there have been other makeup items from what I ascertained before joining.  

    Here's one blogger who has been doing it since January:

  • Also for those interested in make-up, some ladies on the MM board started a blog called the Twirlie Girls. The links to the blog are in their posts - Kore! and 5280 are 2 that you could look for to get to the link.
