Swag: Birchbox December 2011

I got in my Holiday themed Birchbox! If you haven’t heard of this service before (or my obsession with it), Birchbox is a monthly beauty subscription service where for $10 a month you receive 4-5 beauty samples a month. It’s a really fun way to try new products without breaking the bank! Often these samples end up being fairly large and last longer then a month.

This month’s holiday box came with special snowflake packaging and a pink box (normally they are brown). See other boxes to compare here.

Edit to add: Apparently the pink box is for “our most loyal subscribers” – I assume that means how long you have been subscribed (for me = a year!) so you may get the traditional brown box.

In this month’s box:
Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss (Exclusive color to Bircbox called Birchbox Pink!)
Coupon code: Take $20 off any full sized products over $74+! Code bblove valid until 12/31/11.
Note: All proceeds from December full size products will go to Baby Buggy, a non-profit that helps families and children in need. Thanks Birchbox! That’s so sweet. I love when companies give back over the holidays. 

They also sent me adorable post-its (shown above) for re-subscribing. So cute!

The only products I’ve tried so far have been the EBOOST and the Jouer lip gloss. I literally got in the package and started blogging it right away! The EBOOST tastes delicious but has a slightly odd after taste. Warning though, if you are laying back on caffeine this won’t be for you. The main ingredient is green tea extract! The lip gloss is also devine. I’m so in love with the color. Everyone else must be as well because it sold out on the Birchbox shop!

Question: Did everyone else that subscribed get two of the EBOOSTs and the ShowStoppers tape? I wasn’t sure if that was a mistake or not.

What samples have you tried and enjoyed this month? Are you a member of Birchbox?

P.S. Current members should check your Birchbox account! Since the box was late this month they sent in 100 reward points to all members! That translates to a free box!

Kindness is the best accessory,
